Worst Octopus Gift Ideas
There are so many great options for octopus gifts, but you may be wondering which ones are best avoided. Just because your friend is a huge octopus fan doesn’t mean they will love every gift with an octopus on it. If your friend is into the dark, gothic, or spooky motif, they’ll be charmed by a steampunk octopus gift, but if such aesthetics does not appeal to them, they may find them creepy, not in a good way.
Another thing to keep in mind is whether the gift will be practical. Not everyone will find a stress reliever or slippers useful, and your present may end up abandoned in a storage box. Finally, please don’t get your friend an octopus phone case that doesn’t fit their phone. Always make sure your gift suits the person who is receiving it.
