It can be tricky to find the perfect gift for someone—especially the family oddball! Have no fear. Ripley’s is here to help you spread oddiday cheer with a curiously-curated gift guide of Believe It or Not! adventures, obscure oddity shops, and much more!
Give the Gift of Ripley’s
Stuff your friends and family’s stocking with the strange by gifting tickets to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! With over 100 Attractions around the world, they’re great for anyone on your list!
Replica Relics that Won’t be Regifted
Believe It or Not!, these vintage designs were once used to promote the sideshow and carnival curiosities featured at Robert Ripley’s earliest Odditoriums at the New York and Chicago World’s Fairs. Decorate with these replica relics to share your space with the Pain Proof Man, the Queen of Sword Swallowers, and other living wonders of the past! Shop a size that works for you and your space—framed or unframed—printed on museum-quality, matte paper.
Shop Small
A good portion of the Ripley’s exhibit collection can largely be attributed to independent oddity collectors, constantly seeking out the strange from around the world. I mean, just check out the gigantic taxidermy giraffe that the Ripley’s Exhibit Coordinator recently picked up from Darwin and Wallace Store!

Not Your Typical Christmas Sweater
Ugly sweaters? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we are fa-la-la-la-ing in love with the latest offerings for both children and adults on our online Ripley’s Shop!
Whether you want to rock around the Ripley’s wreath—decked with classic exhibits like the Fiji mermaid and Tibetan kapala—or keep it classic with a cross-stitch design of shrunken heads, two-headed reindeer, and topsy-turvy Christmas trees, you can bring the holiday weird, and stay comfy and cozy at the same time!
