The holiday season is all about giving, but what does a person get someone who has absolutely everything? Well, that conundrum has been made easy thanks to the Gift of Nothing. A gag gift similar to a lump of coal left in the stockings of naughty children, the Gift of Nothing is essentially an plastic sphere that is completely empty. The package reads, "Open the pack and be enthralled when nothing happens. Allow nothing to flow through your mind and calm your soul. Savor the moment. Soon you'll discover that nothing is really so much better than something."
At a mere $5.67, the Gift of Nothing doesn't cost much to play a harmless joke on someone. That, or it can be seen as an extreme compliment. Who wouldn't want noticed that they have everything?
