Most mailboxes in the world are pretty straightforward. You put the mail in, you put the flag up, and you go about your day. But there are some people in the world for whom the standard mailbox simply will not do. For whatever reason, these people have chosen to wander off the beaten mailbox path and come up with something truly unique.
Some of their mailboxes are especially cute. Some are very clever. Some are an amazing display of artistic creativity. And some are just straight-up horrifying. But you know what? I bet that if you're a mail carrier, mailboxes like the ones featured on this list probably break up the monotony of walking the same route every single day. If that's the case, then I guess more power to them!
If you're looking for a way to make your own mailbox unique, maybe you'll find a great idea here! Or maybe you'll find the exact opposite of that. Either way.

This one I actually love.
This kind of makes me want to get a VW van just so I can also get a VW van mailbox. Is that too extreme?Fore!
There was actually a mailbox exactly like this one in my hometown. I can't help but think it might encourage people to take a swing at it, though.It's a crane!

I think it's probably contemplating its own place in this world. I get it.A seasonal treasure.
Sure, he might melt later, but I'm sure he will provide many smiles before that happens.OK, computer.

What should we do with the old boat motor?
Turn it into a mailbox, of course! What was your idea?No more cold feet!
This makes me feel bad for all of the mailboxes out there that don't have socks. They're probably so chilly!This guy looks so happy:

Wait. Is this legal?
I'm pretty sure you can't do that. But they did it, so maybe I'm wrong.Udderly amazing.
I've got nothing against a cow-shaped mailbox. I might prefer reaching into the head end rather than the tail end, though.Another microwave!
