Crooked Houses:

"Crooked Houses," as they're called, are really just playhouses for kids, but they've gained some attention after being featured on shows like Jon & Kate Plus 8 and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

According to the website KidsCrookedHouse.com, the structures are award-winning wooden playhouses that parents can custom design to suit their children's needs.

Kids Crooked Houses are designed to be more fun than the average playhouse parents buy for their kids because they're brightly-colored and "crooked" -- meaning they look more like the houses you'd see in a Dr. Seuss book than in the suburbs. Prices of the crooked houses range from $1,249 to $4,449 for those "double deluxe" houses.

For a more wallet-friendly gift, the same company makes "slims," or graphic removable wall stickers that add pizzazz to your child's room.
