2. A book on avant-garde art or literature, such as "The Shock of the New" by Robert Hughes or "Naked Lunch" by William S. Burroughs.
3. An original print or painting from a young, up-and-coming artist - you might find some at local art galleries or online marketplaces like Etsy.
4. A set of unique and intricate puzzle designs, such as the ones created by artist Bridget Riley.
5. A ticket to attend a performance or event of an experimental or avant-garde nature, like a contemporary dance show or experimental theatre production.
