Hammacher Schlemmer

As holiday shopping season rolls around, we’re on the lookout for unique gifts and stores so you could buy something that’s just a little bit different. One such store is Hammacher Schlemmer, which has been selling unique and innovative high quality products for over 150 years. Their diverse product catalog allows you to buy one of a kind gifts for under $30, a 7-foot robot for a mere $50,000 and even a $108,000 electric car. Where else can you buy a portable 26 foot ice rink for your backyard?

We encourage you to visit their website or consider some of these unique products:

The Interactive Plush Pony.

The Interactive Plush Pony.

This plush pony is comparable in size to an actual Shetland and uses advanced electronics, integrated sensors, and puppetry to respond when it is touched, hears a sound, or detects changes in ambient light. When her mane is brushed she whinnies; when her ears are tickled she turns her head to see who is grooming her; petting her muzzle will cause her to sniff your hand.


Genuine Turkish Bathrobe

Genuine Turkish Bathrobe

This imported Turkish robe comes from the Denizli region of Turkey. Turkish toweling is legendary for its extraordinary thickness and absorbency.


Robotic Reptile

Robotic Reptile

This is the robotic dinosaur that has multiple sensors which detect sound, movement, and touch, allowing it to react to its environment with realistic biomorphic motions including running, stalking, turning its head, whipping its tail, and “sniffing” its prey before pouncing. The dinosaur responds to stimuli depending on one of its three moods, including Hungry, Satisfied, and Subdued.


6 1/2-Foot Santa's Day And Night Illuminated Train

6 1/2-Foot Santa’s Day And Night Illuminated Train

Unlike typical holiday sculptures that can only reveal their brilliance at night, this 6 1/2′ long Santa’s train is decorated with present-laden tenders, steam billowing from the locomotive’s smokestack, garlands, and painted stars, all of which give the train a three-dimensional appearance, making it noticable during the day.
