Honourable Mentions (that’s right, these didn’t even make the cut)





If you’ve flown within the United States on one of their domestic carriers, chances are you’ve seen a SkyMall catalog. Tucked into the pocket of the seat in front of you, SkyMall reaches about 88% of all domestic air passengers, around 650 million air travelers annually.

They also have a robust online catalog with plenty of random products for your viewing pleasure. I happened to stumble across their ‘Garden Sculptures‘ section and had to share what can only be described as utterly ridiculous lawn ornaments. Here’s my Top 13:

13. THE PERCHED DRAGON

Nothing says, ‘get off my lawn’ like a perched dragon. Cross his path and he’ll flame your ass. (product link)

12. HUMPTY DUMPTY

If you’re a predator you might enjoy this Humpty Dumpty lawn ornament. It looks, smiles and feels; utterly creepy. (product link)

11. ZANE THE ZEBRA

For that upscale-suburban chic feel, look no further than Zane the Zebra. His majestic stripes will dazzle and delight (product link)

10. TREEBEARD

Show a ‘Tolkien’ of your appreciation for Lord of the Rings with this miniature Treebeard classic. A must for any mystical nerd. (product link)

6. HERBERT THE HIPPO

If a hippopotamus lawn ornament doesn’t impress you, nothing will. And I pity you for that. (product link)

5. HOBO HARRY

4. THE SWAMP BEAST

Give the elderly a coronary with this life-like replica. The swamp beast will give you daymares and eat your children. Caveat Emptor. (product link)
