Holiday Decorations That Make You Ask, “What?’’

Ah, the holidays. A time to gather with family and friends and maybe decorate your abode with something other than a tree, hanging icicle lights, and run-of-the-mill wicker light-up deer. May we suggest some of these…creative products to spice up your life?

First, the tree.

Don’t be a square: Mix up your tired old Christmas routine this year with an Upside Down Christmas Tree. Your friends and family definitely won’t think the holiday stress has driven you completely nuts.

Upside down or right side up, you’re going to need some ornaments to hang on that tree. This one decoration covers all your ChristmaHanuKwanzaakah bases: An ornament, in the shape of a Star of David, sending you Kwazaa greetings.

After admiring your upside down Christmas tree, your guests are going to want to drink. You’ll need a decorative spot to put that bottle of wine — like in this Stiletto Wine Bottle Holder.

As the plethora of Santa-with-wine figurines on Amazon proves, jolly St. Nick likes to get his drink on, too. Look closely, and you’ll see that the bottle on this aptly-named Wine and Cookies Santa says, “Santa prefers wine with his cookies.’’ (Heads up, kids.)

After a few glasses of wine and some hardcore tree admiring, your guests will probably have to use the bathroom. But don’t worry, you can make that room festive, too!

Have you ever thought of putting Santa on your toilet seat? Probably not. But we’re willing to bet that this Santa Toilet Seat Cover and Rug Set will put your guests in just the right holiday mood.

As if hearing Christmas songs in every store and elevator wasn’t enough, now you can hear it in your own bathroom. Your guests will surely appreciate this Singing Toilet Paper, which “installs undetected, serenades the unsuspecting.’’

Santa needs to use the bathroom too. Remind your neighbors of this fact with a 6-foot tall Animated LED Lighted Outhouse Santa Yard Prop.

Our only question: Why is the toilet paper on the outside of the outhouse?

The home isn’t the only place you can decorate. You can decorate yourself, too!

Wear this sweatshirt asking “Santa is watching, does that turn you on?’’ and receive the gift of glares from pretty much everyone in the immediate vicinity.

Dogs need clothes too. If you celebrate Hanukkah and are competitive about things that require no competition, here’s the perfect T-shirt for your pooch:

If you’re looking to build a collection, there’s also a clock and a mug.

Why not combine the joy of two holidays into one Plush Light-Up Christmas Turkey Hat? That’s not weird at all.

We didn’t even realize this holiday existed, but you can celebrate its glorious occurrence with this Happy Thanukkah T-shirt, available in an assortment of colors.

Following the turkey trend, here’s an Inflatable Turkey for everyone too lazy to cook another turkey for Christmas dinner. No calories!

And, finally, here’s some decor your neighbors can appreciate.

This Santa Claus Solar Holiday Yard Spinner Stake will satisfy that desire you’ve always had to see a disembodied Santa head floating above a spinny thing we can only assume lopped it off.

For those of you who think entering through the fireplace is just too predictable, the 6.5 ft. Inflatable Airblown Santa Hanging from Roof will provide you with the thrill of having a very tall Santa peep and/or break into your home.

Everyone loves those bright pink yard flamingos, but have you ever considered buying a ReinMingo or SantaMingo? We bet not.
