Octopus bottle opener

GADGET

A good gift isn't about how much money is spent on it; it's about finding something that the recipient never thought he wanted but turns out to be something that he in fact needs. Such is the case with the octopus bottle opener—assuming the gift recipient is a beer connoisseur, a fan of tentacled creatures or both (or even just a lover of gothic-themed décor, because what better way to create a mysterious allure than to pop open a couple Heinekens with an aquatic-beast bottle opener?). Priced at $25, this stainless-steel utensil features a detailed resin-cast octopus sculpture that your loved one (or, let's be honest, you) will adore. www.shanalogic.com/octopus-bottle-opener.html.
