Kangaroo Bottle Opener, Australia

Why It's Unique: Don't worry—nobody's culling these cute hoppers just for kicks. While kangaroos are protected in Australia, their sheer numbers dictate a government-sanctioned harvesting; the results are used for meat, leather, and yes, even bottle openers. In fact, no part is spared: you might also come across 'roo paws crafted into backscratchers.

Where to Find It: Gift shops, particularly in Cairns.

Cost: About $26.
