Clocky

Published in Christmas, For Anybody and Humorous. 5 Comments

Know somebody who has trouble waking up? Do they even constantly lose the battle with the alarm clock snooze button? Well, you can help them become more punctual in an entertaining way with Clocky!

Here’s how the little guy works. You choose the length of the snooze time from 0 to 9 minutes. Clocky will let you snooze one time. The next time you hit snooze, it’s go time! Clocky will bail off of the nightstand (or any surface safely dropping up to 3 feet) onto your carpet or hard floor and look for a hiding spot, beeping all along the way. The sheer frustration is sure to wake up the snoozy sleeper.

There are plenty of other things Clocky does such as light up the display when you hit snooze when the alarm isn’t activated, warn you well in advance when the battery is low, and can even be put into stationary mode if you don’t want to chase him the next morning.

Help wake that sleepy head up!

A Slew of Busted T-Shirts

Published in For Anybody, Humorous and Inexpensive. 0 Comments

Today The Gift Idea Blog brings you a nice little group of t-shirts from Busted Tees. These are some of my favorites. Now it’s time for blurbs about each of them!

I tend to sometimes be a bit of an annoying nitpicker when it comes to accuracy. I realize, however, that I’m pretty inconsistent myself. Anyway, if you’re like me, you may have wondered why we commonly make that heart shape we’re all so used to when a real heart looks like the leftover chunk of beef that nobody wanted to eat because it’s all full of gristle and nastiness. Problem solved here! This shirt should make a great gift for your friend who always points out your mistakes.

This shirt is just plain old awesome. I love some good Halloween candy corn; who doesn’t? I know dentists are sure glad they exist! But really, look at the faces on the mutant candy corn and the cob man who seems to fear he may be destined to have the same fate. It’s just pure goodness. So you should buy it for somebody right now.
Yummy.
Candy Corn.

Get it? Yeah? See, BRB means “Be Right Back” and it is commonly used in online conversations to indicate one of the parties will be leaving the computer alone for a few moments. Now, that’s a boomerang there, following the proper arm motion, when the boomerang leaves your hand, it will also be away for a few moments, but then return. So, get it now? Oh, you got it at first glance, ok. Yeah, by now, you’ve probably already left the site, so I’m just rambling on. Two left!

Alright, here we are with the first of two t-shirts with movie references. This one is probably pretty well known, but I’ll jar the old memory for ya. Remember in Billy Madison when Billy’s cursive writing is tested by Miss Veronica Vaughn? Frank Rizzuto morphs into Frank Rirruto. Classic Adam Sandler goodness.
Quit looking at me swan!
I’m pretty sure I would be rewarded no points for this answer, you are now dumber for reading this.

And finally, a more obscure movie reference. Anybody get it? Here are some clues: Dude, Bowling, Donnie, Rug, Creedence, The Jesus, White Russian, Nihilists, Bunny. Well, if that didn’t do it for ya, you probably noticed the word Lebowski on the shirt. It’s all from the Big one of those, as in The Big Lebowski.

Thanks for reading and such!

Tuttuki Bako Virtual Finger Game

Published in For Anybody, For Kids, Humorous, Office Toys, Tech Stuff and Unusual. 1 Comment

Here’s a weird one for ya! This little box has different digital characters who live inside. You get to stick your gigantic (in proportion to them) finger in a hole on the side of the box and mess with the little creatures! Why not?

Being one of the weirdest things I’ve posted on this blog, I feel it appropriate to include a little video demonstration of said weirdness. Here’s a little clip of this Virtual Finger Game I found on YouTube.

The clip starts out with a tiny stick man being terrorized by the huge finger. Then at the push of a real button on the housing of the box, a menu appears. That menu, apparently, cycles through the characters with the touch of a digital button. The finger goes on to play with a blob and then an adorable panda who is clinging onto a tire swing. Just precious. Bonus: The song is mesmerizing.

Titanium Spork

Published in Food Gifts, For Anybody, Humorous and Inexpensive. 0 Comments

I got this (along with a couple other things) for my Father at Christmas. He is quite the spork enthusiast, and really, it doesn’t get any better than a titanium spork. He loved it. I’m not sure if he still uses it, as that was well over a year ago now, but I tell you what, I’m sure it’s still in pristine condition!

Now, why a titanium spork you ask? I say why not! Most sporks are wonderfully convenient, but terribly flimsy. And most often, they still have little plastic seams left on the edges to cut your lip, ouch! This titanium spork is smoothly crafted into a perfectly gentle, but sturdy, large sized spork. Really, the thing is big, see that image there? It’s even bigger in real life! It measures 6 1/4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Go measure one of your spoons, probably nowhere near that size.

One last thought about a spork, that I took from my Father: Why not call it a foon?

The Big Lebowski – 10th Anniversary Limited Edition

Published in For Anybody and Humorous. 0 Comments

If you haven’t seen The Big Lebowski (and don’t mind moderate to heavy levels of crudeness), you should do yourself a favor and pick this up. This is such a fine movie, well written and acted out perfectly.

I’ve checked this out a bit, and it appears as though the “Limited Edition” part of this doesn’t so much have anything to do with the content, but more with the packaging, which I think is brilliant. Word is there are a few interviews with the cast, but nothing too special. All that’s okay though, if you’re like me and have been telling yourself that you need to own this movie, now is the time. And of course, if you already own it, buy this version for a friend and leave the mark of The Dude on their shelf for all to see!

Supersize Earbud Speakers

Published in For Anybody, Humorous and Tech Stuff. 1 Comment

Give somebody a gift that looks like you stole from a giant! These gigantic ipod-style earbud speakers are claimed to be 500 times the size of the headphones that come with ipods. 500 times!

The speakers connect to the non-giant’s computer via USB cable and have their own built-in amplifier. There’s no fancy stand or anything, but they will lay there on a desk looking great. Sure to start up a conversation anytime somebody glances at them for the first time.

So if you know a mac lover who would love to have their earbuds in all day, but can’t due to work regulations, get them the oversized earbuds so they can get their fix.

Get the huge earbuds here.

Flying Animals

Published in For Kids, Humorous and Office Toys. 0 Comments

What every office space needs is a slew of flying pigs. Maybe a monkey or two soaring through the air. And why not top it all off with a chicken to boot?

Now that dream of flying pigs is a reality! This trio of flying animals will not only fly into a desk 6 cubicles away, but make plenty of noise on the trip. As the image so colorfully displays, each animal makes a different sound of glee whilst soaring through the air.

The way it works is simple. The arms (or chicken’s neck) have elastic bands in them and a little place to put your fingers as anchors. Pull the animal back and let her rip!

Oh, and I suppose kids would love these airborne animals as well…not just bored office workers!

Send an animal into the air here.
