NEIGHBORHOOD, a Japanese brand that specializes in making technical apparel, took a turn and designed its own incense holders -- which sarcastically tells those who see it to "HAVE A NICE DAY."

Made of solid ceramic, the incense holders are coated in black and given a shiny finish, helping it to look like an [artful piece of home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-diffuser) as much as it is a functional product. That said, the middle finger that's carried by the hand makes it better suited to consumers with an appreciation for the provocative symbol, or perhaps just those with a sense of humor.

Dubbed the 'Booze Finger Incense Chamber,' NEIGHBORHOOD's unconventional incense holders make for a [great joke gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramenthemed-smoking-accessories) and can be purchased through online retailers.
