The place for great unique gift ideas.
Hey, I just now found out that Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom is March 2nd this year (2008)! So this is an urgent update to give our friends East of the Atlantic a place to order some last minute flowers for Mother. Actually, the title of this particular product is Tulips for Mum.
So for those of you with a Mum who would love some flowers over there, check out Bunches.co.uk for a great selection of nicely priced floral arrangements for Mum…and for any other occasion as well!
I think Saint Patrick’s Day is the nearest holiday now after Valentine’s Day comes and passes. So I figured this would be a great first St. Patty’s Day gift idea. I just love this picture too, the guy’s facial expression is priceless.
It’s obviously a giant hat for an over-sized leprechaun. I think this would be a great hat to wear around the office all day on March 17th. Since you’ve got to wear green to avoid getting pinched, this is the perfect addition to somebody’s wardrobe!
This is also a great chance to possibly pressure somebody into feeling uncomfortable. Here’s what I mean: Give this as a gift to a co-worker or even better yet, your boss. Then when St. Patrick’s Day comes around, they will feel obligated to wear it. So to make that idea work even better, give it to somebody who is very shy or easily embarrassed and sit back and enjoy!
This is pretty cool. ThinkGeek has a pair of t-shirts that will light up with hearts when you are near your loved one. So here’s what you do. Get two of these shirts, one for you and one for your significant other, and then when you’re apart, you’ll each have only 2½ hearts lit up, but when you’re near each other, all 6 hearts will light up. Pretty neat huh?
See the idea is, if you haven’t got it, to make it seem as though each of the t-shirt wearers are in a video game. In games, like Zelda, you want your hearts to be full, that means you’re strong and have perfect health. When they start to diminish, things aren’t looking so hot. So when you’re with your lover, things are looking good.
Of course, there are some things to do to get it set up right, like plug in a little transmitter that detects when the other person is nearby, but it’s totally worth it! You could both wear these shirts to a Valentine’s Day party or any other social event where you want to woo people with your love for each other. Could be a good time for everybody!
I put another Personalized Heart Glass Ornament thing up here for the Christmas season. Now it’s time for the Valentine’s Day version. This one is more classy indeed.
It’s about 5 inches tall and wide, and I love the style on the edges. They look like they are wet, but that’s just the snazzy design. Like the other personalized gift ideas on this blog, you can add your own message to it for that special someone. It’s a gift that will be seen every day by the recipient, so make sure you really like the person!
Nuts, crackers, cheese, and meat. What else do you need in any gift basket? Well, how about a stainless steel cleaver? Now it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!
This is the first gift basket I’ve seen that includes any type of cutting utensil, and they don’t mess around, they include a nice meat cleaver, which is awesome. It’s pretty inexpensive too, so there really isn’t any reason why everybody shouldn’t have their own meat cleaver and heart shaped block of cheddar cheese. The other things in there are whole cashews, garlic herb crackers, and beef sausage. Good stuff.
Get festive with some Valentine’s Day placemats and napkins! As you can see, the placemats are reversible, one side being red and white and the other black and white.
There are 4 placemats and napkins, all made of cotton, and there’s a runner too! Jolly good fun. This would be more of a non-romantic Valentine’s Day gift idea I suppose. I wouldn’t count on getting much extra loving from giving this to that special someone as a gift. But give it to someone you don’t want to become affectionate with, and boom bam, it’s the perfect gift!
I like this flower arrangement for Valentine’s Day. There are no leaves to mess with, only the business part of the roses are showing. The vase is a clean and simple red glass cube. It’s elegant and of good style. Well played.
Here are some more Valentine’s Day cards. This particular one is pink with just a hint of chocolate brown in the border for a nice change. Obviously, you can put your own picture in there of you or your family, or really anything you want.
Here’s an idea for ya. Get a picture of some guys who are roommates in college, order some cards with their pictures on them and then send those cards to people they know! That would be a swell prank.
So some of the sites I’ve posted about are having pretty big holiday sales. It being Thanksgiving and all, Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, so why go out into the crowds when you can just get stuff in the comfort of your own home?
Amazon has an entire portion of their site devoted to Black Friday here:
I’ve also added some sale banners on the Sales page.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and happy holiday shopping!
I should really be blogging more about these personalized gifts you can get at Personalization Mall. The things I’ve got from there have made the most perfect gifts. You can make them emotional and make the recipient think that you went to all kinds of work to put just the right message directly to them on it, when really, it’s very simple to do.
This particular gift idea is in the form of a heart-shaped glass Christmas tree ornament. There are 3 lines of text that can be personalized for anybody you choose, and with any occasion you wish to commemorate. It’s a high-quality ornament. You can choose from 6 styles of text and put any personalization you wish on it. The words are laser engraved and the whole thing comes in a velvet pouch with a drawstring, so it will stay protected for years and years to come.
This is a classy, yet inexpensive, way to show that you want somebody to remember a special Christmas for years to come.
