“Novelty gift” can mean two very different things: a forgettable joke that gets thrown away, or the strange little object everyone keeps talking about. We prefer the second kind.
What makes a novelty gift actually good?
It should have a reason to survive after the first laugh. Maybe it is satisfying to use, looks great on a desk, fits into a collection or is simply weird enough to become part of someone's personality.
