Everyone is aware of online, shopping, banking etc. (good ol' credit cards) If you are looking for something a little, well okay a lot different for a gift or a treat for yourself you must check these sites out. I wouldn't recommend purchasing these for your mum or dad or any other relative though.

Anyone you know getting married soon? An idea for a great wedding present that no one will ever forget is found on Butterfly events You can purchase 16-100 butterflies to release on the day. They arrive in a box fed, clean and ready to go. If you can afford to literally have you money fly away from you then this is a really romantic and lovely idea. You might want to find out if they are scared of insects first.

Are you sick of smelling just like everyone else? The generic baby doll or Ck boring you, if so visit Demeter You can choose from dirt, birthday cakes, tomato, waffles, freshly cut grass or my personal favourite, orange juice. Prices range from $14-$50 American. Gift packs are also available. Visit Convert for latest exchange rate.

If you know a man who isn't afraid to get in touch with his feminine side then this site could have the perfect gift. They are called MANties, made from satin, adorned with lace and bows. The best thing I found was to picture the most macho bloke wearing a pair. That image should make you laugh all day long.

From the bizarre to the morbid. Funeral Cast gives you the opportunity to view funerals, memorial or grave side services live (scuse the pun) over the net. You can even crash someone else’s funeral. But if your loved one is being cremated then this is the site to go to Here ashes are mixed with paint to create a piece of art. You can even have more than one painting made up. A showcase of designs is included on the site.
