Yodeling Pickle

A Pickle With Ambition

For someone whose sense of humour has already wandered well beyond the point where a normal pickle would suffice.

Why we like this gift.

A pickle would have been an unusual gift already. Giving it a musical career feels like admirable commitment to the idea. We like this for someone who actively enjoys pointless nonsense, especially once you know their tolerance for novelty noises. It’s a gift with a very clear audience, and that audience has probably already sent you something equally inexplicable.

The right kind of occasion.

A few dates in with someone who sends you strange videos and waits impatiently for your verdict.

Make it a moment.

Let the pickle make one brief introduction somewhere noise is welcome. After that, its touring schedule should be entirely the recipient’s decision.

Try this opening line

“I thought you should meet someone with a more unusual career.”

Before you buy.

Check the exact sound feature, batteries, dimensions and whether sound can be stopped easily. Give quiet restaurants a miss.
