LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The holidays have long been a time for traditional gift giving – but what about shoppers searching for a weird and unusual gift to give to those on their list?
Stupid.com, internet retailer of novelty gifts and silly stocking stuffers, surveyed over 2,000 members of their online customer base in order to answer that exact question: What is the silliest, most ridiculous gag gift of the year?
The result is the web-based company’s 6th annual ranking of the top 10 stupid holiday gifts of 2012. This year’s list features an assortment of unique gifts under $20, each more wild and absurd than the next.
“Our accountants are scratching their heads this year,” says Jim Kalmenson, president of Stupid.com. “The more ridiculous the gag gift, the greater the sales volume.”
Topping the people’s choice is Santa’s Farting Butt Travel Pillow, a neck pillow in the shape of Santa’s rosy rear that “toots” loudly when his cheeks are squeezed.
Here is the list of the Top 10 Stupid Holiday Gifts of 2012, listed in order of popular vote:
Santa’s Farting Butt Travel Pillow - A pillow in the shape of jolly old St. Nick’s buns, this unique gift is sure to crack up any sleep-deprived toilet-humor, enthusiast as it farts loudly and explains, “Smells like Christmas!”

Mullet-on-the-Go - Enjoy the elegance and sophistication of a mullet anytime with an instant mullet and a totally rad headband.
