The gift: Bonefire, the Gentleman’s Flamethrower
Why it’s so great: Visions of super-villainy and high Call of Duty body counts may be dancing in your head at the mention of the personal flamethrower that you have, let’s face it, always dreamed of. Not to disappoint, but you are shooting fireballs into the wrong atmosphere with Bonefire, which We Out Here are prepared to call the world’s most refined personal immolation device. This is not for clearing enemy bunkers or controlling fields at the end of a season; the creator of the Bonefire first made his for art and performance displays at Burning Man. The website takes care to point out that at 56” long, their largest model can still fit in a mini-van, and recommends you bring it ‘to your next wedding or event.’ Here comes the bride, and she’s probably on fire.
Why it made the list: There is something to be said for the man who saw a lack of unregulated, questionably safe flamethrowers available to the consumer and set out to change it. That something is, “Do you take PayPal?”
Approx value: $950-1150
