Some flavored butters or jams could also be included prior to giftwrapping.
Animal House Toucan Can Opener – select a variety of gourmet canned items and arrange in a basket. Fill the extra spaces with a variety of nuts, then display the Toucan Can Opener in a prominent place so it brings a smile to the faces of all who see it.

Animal House Woodpecker Scissors – this would be a great gift for someone in your office, (provided the boss doesn’t object to the use of something as unique as Woodpecker Scissors if the recipient deals directly with the public). Gather several colorful notepads, sticky notes, other colorful office supplies and arrange in a basket or box. Display the Woodpecker Scissors where they can’t be missed and watch the delight in the face of your co-workers.
Animal House Parakeet Garlic Press – Fill a terra cotta garlic baker with fresh garlic bulbs, place in a basket with two packages of French bread, a bottle of extra virgin olive oil and some grated parmesan cheese.

Animal House Whale Ice Cream Spade – surprise someone with an ice cream freezer that they’ve been wanting. When they open it up, this unique Whale Ice Cream Spade will be inside to put a second smile on their face. You may even want to tuck a note with it that encourages them to have a “whale of a good time making ice cream”.
Animal House Shark Bottle Opener – a perfect gift for the avid fisherman in your life. Use an aluminum pail as your “basket”, and add the beverage of choice, along with beef jerky or other snacks. Let the Shark Bottle Opener dangle from fishing line from the handle of the pail. It’s sure to be a hit, as well as a rememberance every time it is used.
Animal House Piranha Pizza Cutter – assemble all the ingredients of a pizza, like packaged pizza dough, canned pizza sauce, shredded cheese, pepperoni, etc., and place them on a new pizza pan along with the pizza recipe. Place the Piranha Pizza Cutter on top in the center, then wrap with cellophane. The receiver of this unique gift will appreciate the thoughfulness that went into this gift and may even share the pizza with you.
Animal House Squid Baster – you can be sure you’re giving a unique gift when you buy a Squid Baster for the chef in your life. Purchase a nice roasting pan and fill it with pretty kitchen towels, dishcloths and pot holders to match. Display the Squid Baster in the center to give it the attention YOU deserve, and it’s sure to please every time.
Another idea is to give several Animal House kitchen accessories at once. They can be displayed in a basket of fruit and nuts, or kitchen towels. You may have another unique way of displaying them, but the goal is to delight the receiver and create a gift they will remember. Let your uniqueness and thoughtfulness shine. Go crazy and have some fun in the kitchen !!
