Funwares Tricerataco Dinosaur Taco Holder
✓ Product data checked October 29, 2026
Funwares' Tricerataco is a hard plastic triceratops whose back is shaped to hold two tacos upright, so the shells stay filled instead of tipping over on the plate. It turns Taco Tuesday into a dinosaur scene, and the brand says it also holds chicken nuggets, pancakes or sandwiches. It is the original of the dinosaur taco holders now copied by other brands. Rated 4.6 across more than 3,200 reviews on Amazon US, at about $20.
Why it makes a good gift
Best for : A taco lover, a dinosaur fan, or a family that does Taco Tuesday every week.
Best occasion : White elephant exchange, a housewarming or a kid-friendly birthday.
Why it works : It looks absurd on the table and still does a real job, which is the sweet spot of a white elephant gift: people laugh when it is opened, then quietly try to steal it for their own kitchen.
Avoid if : The recipient never eats tacos.
