Looking for a truly unusual holiday gift or, perhaps, a piece of attention-grabbing yard decor? The giant fixtures from the Great Chicago Fire Hydrants exhibit go up for auction at the Hyatt Regency today. Made of fiberglass, the five-foot-tall structures were designed by celebs such as the Fall Out Boy band members and Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett. An online auction starts on Thursday.
