If you haven’t bought Christmas gifts for your friends and family yet, you’re either a Grinch who wants to steal Christmas or procrastinating, because it’s so freakin’ hard to find cool gifts in Bangkok.
If you’re in the first category, then we dare you not to crack a Christmas grin while you read this list. If you’re in the second category, with 90% of us, then welcome to the ultimate quirky list of Xmas gifts guaranteed to make your life easier and better!
Look no further, friends, Epic Stuff has just launched right here in the heart of good old Siam.
This is what dreams and imagination are made of. The crew at Epic Stuff, led by founders Johannes Bergstrom (CEO) and Friso Poldervaart (Vice President), have one goal and one goal only, to scour the planet for affordable, unusual and unique quality products from all over the world. Epic Stuff isn’t interested in being an everyday store with everyday brands; they’re interested in authenticity and originality.
Here’s a roundup of special items for the special people in your life, or for that random co-worker you drew out of a Secret Santa hat. He’ll enjoy these too.
Kartoni Foosball Table
For the boyfriend, husband or friend who prefers to exercise within earshot of the TV. Bonus: it’s made of super strong double corrugated cardboard that’s eco-friendly and transportable. Shop the foosball table here. There’s also a table tennis version.
Moleskin Writing Set
It’s always hard to buy something for the most creative people. You could spend your time putting together a macaroni sculpture that might impress them (and they’re still going to be miles ahead of you), or you could enable their creative prowess with this awesome Moleskin Writing Set that instantly digitizes their writing on a smartphone. The choice is yours.
Star Wars…everything!
The force is strong with these gifts. Celebrate the epic space saga with awesome Star Wars-themed home décor products. These gifts will have your sci-fi-inclined friends squealing with delight. By the way, Epic Stuff is the only place with official distribution rights. So if smart you are, it is these gifts you shall buy.
Full HD Virtual Reality Omimo Uranus
Other than having the best brand name known to man this VR headset is one of the most unique gifts in Thailand. The full HD built-in screen becomes a personal cinema, letting the wearer experience virtual worlds all while looking like a badass Robocop. It’s all about 4D now, guys, keep up and check it out.
Pet Umbrella
We all know someone who’s a total slave to their pets. Don’t stage an intervention; get them this present instead. With more and more doggy strollers around town lately, it’s no surprise that pet umbrellas are the next in fur-baby innovation. Hey, animals don’t like rain either, you know! This is also a great opportunity to show off some sassy new Instagram pictures with your pets. Well, you don’t just find pet umbrellas anywhere!
Beer Chiller Stick
This is the gift for anyone who takes beer temperature seriously (pretty much all of us), and doesn’t want to dilute his or her beer with ice. (Sorry, Thai uncles.) This stainless steel stick even stays put inside your bottle while you sip.
Girls Group Poster
What dude wouldn’t love to plaster this poster in his man cave? Just make sure he’s allowed to before you present him with this naughty gift. Married men we’re lookin’ at you! But, honestly, at under THB400, you really can’t go wrong.
Roulette Drinking Game
No party is complete without a drinking game. But forget clapping and chanting, when you bring out this roulette kit your friends will be floored – and not just because they had too many shots. The kit comes with two metal balls and 16 shot glasses that can be filled with every kind of dangerous spirit. The games can last all night, the hangovers, maybe forever.
Audrey Hepburn Poster
Audrey is always a good idea. This is just the right kind of gift for chic city girls on the go. They’ll feel a kinship with Holly Golightly, the iconic character Audrey portrayed in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. And hey, this poster is waaay more affordable (and unique) than something from the real Tiffany’s. It’s printed on high quality paper and produced in the UK.
Giant Pretzel Float
This is for anyone who conducts a photo shoot at brunch, notices photogenic walls and uses the hashtag #blessed. Because #blessed they will be when you gift them with the most Instagrammable item in the world: the pretzel shaped pool float. Finally available (and affordable) in Bangkok, it also comes in pizza and donut versions.
Window Solar Power Phone Charger
This is a great gift for tech junkies AND sustainability seekers. But really, who can’t relate to that feeling of panic when you’re caught with 1% and not a plug point in sight? This charger can power you up anywhere there’s sun and easily attaches to windows, so save some energy and go solar. Green is the new black.
Office Foot Rest
This foot rest is the ideal gift for the workaholic in your life. Encourage them to take a moment, relax and put their feet up…without leaving their desk! At under THB500 it’s an easy present that speaks volumes, mainly, “I really care about you!” and “Damn you work a lot!”
Scratch World Map
This map helps keep track of every city and country you’ve been to and those you still want to explore. It’s the perfect gift for your globetrotting friends who always seem to be jetting off to Europe and Japan or some remote land we’ve never even heard of. (Seriously, do you guys even work, or what?) Besides countries, you can also scratch off places like largest lakes, highest summits, continents and more.
Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Poster
Give the gift of art. Bold post-modern art, to be exact. Any Warhol’s classic 1962 piece, “Soup Can” is a great present for any discerning art lover. Although absolutely affordable, this poster is printed on the highest quality 150gsm paper with an offset lithography press. Translation: it’s an extremely cosmopolitan and expensive looking addition to any home, making you look like a sophisticated art collector (when you’re actually not).
Scribble Clock
You know that one friend that’s always late? He forgets important dates and misses appointments? Help them out in a really stylish way with this Scribble Clock. It’s great for leaving reminders and love notes and even comes with USB ports for easy bedside phone charging.
Good news, every single item on this list is online and available from the newest source of cool: Epic Stuff.
Each item ticks all the important gift-giving boxes: affordable (just say no to imported, overpriced designer junk), appropriate (if you give your boss bubble bath, it’s because you’re imagining him in the bath) and cool (cereal is still boring old cereal, even dressed up in a festive hamper).
Everything is warehoused right here in Bangkok so delivery time is fast and you can be assured that the products are in stock. Epic Stuff offers 3 hour delivery in Bangkok during weekdays and express delivery so they’ve got you covered when you need a gift, like, yesterday.
So take a peek at www.epicstuff.co.th and treat yourself to something cool while you’re at it. Hey, you’re already thinking of giving gifts to others (and maybe to yourself, we ain’t judging). It is the thought that counts, so go ahead, you deserve it!
