The Bare Bones: Skeleton Gifts

Since Halloween has just passed and I refuse to admit it, let's throw some cool skeleton gift ideas out there for the Morbid Minnie (or Mickey) in your life.

White Trash Just Got Way Cool

Undead flamingos for your yard!  These freaky little plastic birds are what inspired this entry in the first place.  I saw a pair them on a neighbor's lawn earlier this month and was determined to either locate or create some trashy skeleton flamingos of my own.  They're the same size as your standard pink yardbird variety, but decidedly spookier -- and METAL.

$15 for a set of two!

Don't Get Chilled to the Bone

Besides ghoulishness and tooth decay, Halloween also signifies the beginning of winter and cold weather.  Why not keep your cousin's carpals warm with these sweet elbow-length fingerless skeleton gloves?

$11.99 on Amazon.com!

Skeleton Shoes by Funtasma!

These sweet skeleton pumps, bone boots and dapper men's shoes will please any buddy of yours that hasn't given up the goth -- or anyone with a quirky taste in fashion.  Annoyingly, these listings are per -- you'll have to search through the Amazon seller's inventory for your desired fit.  But they're so damn cool I couldn't not include them!

$36.00 - $67.00 on Amazon.com!

Creepy Cutie Corkscrew

I think I may have to order this little bugger for every wino I know. Adorable and affordable, this skeleton corkscrew can certainly please your frat buddies and your aunt Miriam.

$23.97 by Kikkerland

 
My, Such Bony Wrists You Have!

While a little bit pricey, this skeleton hand bracelet is sure to please anyone with a twisted sense of humor or fashion!  Made from pewter, the "Curse of Ezekiel" bracelet is both spooky and elegant.

$85.00 by Alchemy of England

Skeleton Girl Cameo Necklace

This haunting twist on the exceedingly cool (and increasingly popular) cameo style comes in a bunch of different styles (from lockets to flask belt buckles), courtesy of a popular punk-rock gift-shop-of-sorts, the Alley Chicago.

$15.95 for this style

Ladies' Skeleton Hoodie

Unlike other similar versions, this hooded sweatshirt has a femur up on the competition.  It features an all-over screenprint, including a skull on the hood and bones on the arms.  Not only that - this deadly fashion statement glows in the dark!  Warning: probably not a good gag gift for anorexics.

$49.95 by Teenage Runaway




And my favorite new feature of this blog...

The Who the Hell Has That Kind of Money Spotlight:

Authentic prop from the set of Mars Attacks!

While definitely a conversation piece, the $795 price tag may be a bit much to own this particular chunk of cinematic history.
