Invisible Gag Gifts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This English Novelty Gift Shop Owner is Selling Pots of Fresh Air

— August 18, 2015 — Unique
Entrepreneur and novelty gift shop owner Rachel Moorcroft has come up with the idea to package and sell pots of fresh air -- nothing more and nothing less. People often want to step outside for a breath of fresh air but sometimes the opportunity to do so doesn't appear, so Moorcroft likes to think this cheeky product fills a void in the market.

Sold on eBay via her online gift store Fun Favours, this product is "lovingly harvested" and packaged with a heat-sealing machine that is used to make alcoholic jelly shots. So far 40 pots have been sold, mostly to those in the UK and a few fun-lovers in California and Australia.

Whether you find the gag gifts funny or unexpected, these pots of fresh air provide a good laugh for Moorcroft and whoever else chooses to join in.
