Some gifts melt hearts. Others melt faces.

Weird Al Yankovic shared an item given to his daughter, Nina, by Dan Butts, the production designer on the mock biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Note: Spoiler ahead!

The film includes a scene where Dr. Demento (played by Rainn Wilson ) spikes the guacamole with LSD, sending Yankovic (Daniel Radcliffe ) on a wild trip that concludes with his face melting.

Butts gave the five-time Grammy winners daughter the prop used in that scene.

Yankovic called it the exact thing every young woman wants and shared an image on Twitter:
