Give The Ultimate Gift - A Leg Lamp

By: Joanne Dorin


If you're looking for that perfect gift but having trouble finding it because your recipient already has everything, we've got a great idea that's certain to be a hit. A leg lamp - it's the ultimate gift!

If you're wondering what the heck a leg lamp is you obviously haven't seen Darren McGavin, Ralphie's Old Man in a Christmas Story. Wouldn't it be grand to own an authentic quality Red Rider leg lamp?

It's the nostalgic tale of Ralphie Parker growing up in the 1940s. He want's nothing more than a Red Ryder Model Air Rifle for Christmas. This is movie that everyone can relate to. From tongue stuck to poles, to mistakenly swearing in front of Dad, to bullies, "you'll shoot your eye out." And then there is the arrival of the infamous leg lamp that Old Man Parker has ordered. Mrs. Parker sees as the ugliest lamp ever and shatters it much to the dismay of Old Man Parker. This could be the best Christmas movie ever and the leg lamp has certainly become an after market hit!

There are several companies offering authentic Red Rider leg lamps and there are also plenty of after market new takes on the leg lamp like the Studs N' Skins leg lamp that Spencer Gifts sells. Which ever type of leg lamp tweaks your interest is up to you. Any one of the styles is certain to get some great conversation going!

The leg lamps are available at their full size of 45 inches. These legs wear a sexy fishnet stocking, and sexy stiletto heel, and they are also adorned with a gallery shade. If a 45 inch floor lamp is too big then why not consider the 20 inch lamp? It's just as good a conversation piece but takes up a lot less room.

There are many different companies offering the leg lamps. Some even come with a base that has the signatures of the case members. Others come with props that tie the scene together. There is a wide range of prices and qualities so be sure to shop around and know what you are buying. And if you want the authentic version you'll need to search for a licensed site.

What gift recipient wouldn't feel privileged to add one of these majestic legs to their dcor? It's a leg, a lamp, and a conversation piece that every room should have. A leg lamp is perfect for the den, family room, or living room.
