From dinosaurs to daleks: gifts with quirk factor

From the imaginations of New Zealand’s makers come – well, some weird and wonderful things. If you like to go a bit left field with your gift choices, Gifts with Quirk Factor is the guide for you – and if there’s someone on your Christmas list who’s really hard to buy for, could we suggest a ninja-style handpainted ukulele? Or perhaps a set of weaponised pillows,for the perfect balance of fun, frivolity, exercise, humble domination and honourable defeat (ideal for Christmas Day).
