Popular gifting theory says it’s not the size or cost of the gift that matters but the meaning and thought behind it. That’s true — but a gargantuan gift sure can be an easy way to surprise and delight your recipient. If you’re not sure what to get someone this year, we rounded up 12 oversize objects for a variety of recipients, from a three-foot stuffed bear for the kid on your list to a nearly ten-foot-tall fake olive tree for the recipient with high ceilings. (If you prefer gifts of the tiny variety, we found a bunch of those, too.) And if you need more ideas, check out all of our best gift ideas for every person on your list.
