If you are looking for a novelty bottle opener to give someone (most likely a Star Wars fan) for the holidays, you have two options. From Hallmark, the Chewbacca and Yoda-inspired openers are not only designed to look like the famous sci-fi characters, they also make appropriate sound effects.
The Chewbacca novelty bottle opener makes his trademark wookie growls. Both Chewbacca and Yoda play the Star Wars theme and have the mouth area as the opener. To make the sounds, you press a small button located on the handle.
Hallmark suggests these products will be most enjoyed by dads looking to crack open a brew, but they will likely appeal to females in addition to younger people trying to open old fashioned glass bottles.
