We've got a little pottery one as a money-box, which is cute. The waving would give me nightmares - and it's solar powered, it could wave all day out in your garden!
In a flat I used to share we had 'tasteless corner'.
That would have fitted in nicely.
The best item in tasteless corner was a plastic donkey. If you opened up the container on his back you could fill it with cigarettes.
You then pulled his ears back, he would lift his tail and a cigarette would come out of his derriere
