    If you’re gift hunting for a person who has everything, why not get them something that only Brad Pitt has enough of- newspaper coverage. Their 15 minutes of fame won’t be as wide-spread as would be their face on the front page of the BBC site, but it’s not far off!

    ukThe UK website inthepaper.co.uk or its US counterpart inthepaper.com will get your friend on the front page of “The Daily” with an announcement that they have been chosen to play the lead in new James Bond film, or something equally outrageously believable.

    If you’re friend isn’t the biggest movie buff, they can also be “Abducted by Aliens”, and you can even add your very own picture. The photoshop opportunities are endless…

    To order a paper, you simply need to fill in the fields with your friend’s details, choose the article you wish them to appear in, add a photo (if you wish) and you’ll have a gift that you can be guaranteed no one else will bring to the party.

    This gift can be as funny or romantic as you want, so if you’re stuck for a Valentine’s Day idea this year and don’t want to go down the fluffy bunny route, get them in the headlines instead.

    fly budEveryone has an iPod now- they’ve become so normal. So what better way to make your friend more unique than Michael Jackson, than by giving them ear phones in the un-orthodox shape of lady bugs?

    Or if that’s a bit too girly, there are the gross-out flies which would satisfy every boy’s lifelong desire to stick an insect in their ear.duck bud

    The Ear Bud range also includes pigs and ducks for the more rural-minded of your acquaintances.

    Each set of ear buds is fully compatible with devices that have a standard 3.5mm headphone socket, so most iPod devices would still be listenable through your duck.

    At just $15 (£10.20) a pop, you’ll be gift wrapping a set for your friend and opening one for yourself!
