With
just five days left until Christmas, last minute shoppers everywhere
may be wondering what to get the country music lovers in their lives. To
help provide some options, we trolled the online stores of more than
two dozen top country stars and compiled this list of the weirdest,
wackiest and most unusual merchandise items available. Sure, any star
can offer a t-shirt, a shot glass, a plastic bracelet or a mouse pad,
but it takes some imagination to come up with the oddball items that
made this list. Here are our 21 favorites, ranging in price from $5 to
$200.
