'Creepy Plastic Fetuses' And 5 Other 'Gifts' Etsy Suggests For Hard-To-Shop-For People (PHOTOS)

What, you don't need a teeny tiny plastic fetus? Weirdo.

Gift-giving is a social contract rife with vagueness. Like, what's an appropriate gift for an engagement party? And what if you don't really know the couple that well? And if you don't go, do you still send a gift? Repeat this process with weddings, birthdays, anniversaries. The older you get, the more that's expected of you.

You can see why some people end up becoming hermits.

Though gift guides outnumber actual full-length features on the internet, we've never seen an appropriate answer to the question of "What can I get for the hard-to-shop-for people in my life?"

Well, I asked Etsy to find out. And I still don't think I have an answer. Instead, my search for "hard to shop for" returned the following items. Some were interesting, while others were..."interesting." I'll let you decide which is what.
