The place for great unique gift ideas.
Here’s a nice little photo frame for that special someone on Valentine’s Day. I found this in the “for her” section, and I was thinking it might work for a guy or girl, but the little guy is the one building the blocks, so I think it’s intended for women.
The frame holds a 5×7 picture in place. It’s on sale for a little over half price right now, so it’s a pretty good deal as a nice Valentine’s Day gift idea. They’ve got other stuff over there, so check their stuff out if you feel so inclined.
This must be how dirty girls like to get cleaned, in a bubble bath. I like the product description:
A Lily-fresh fragrance turns even the dirtiest girl into a specimen of beauty! Tub tested!
So that’s all you really need to know!
Here’s another cool little piece of home decor. It’s a doorstop in the shape of a huge key. It’s a pretty good sized doorstop too at almost 6 inches in length.
If you know somebody who has a swaying door and it needs to stop, give them the key to holding the door in place…pun intended! The big rubber doorstop is available in two colors: red or black.
I found out about these a while ago, but I bought some for my sisters as Christmas presents, so I didn’t want to risk them finding out. Now that I’ve given them as gifts and they were very well received, I figured I’d share the greatness with the good people online.
These things do just what they say. It’s cool, you blow into the top of the candle just how you would to extinguish a flame, and it turns on! Then when you want to turn it off, do the same thing. It’s actually pretty satisfying to be able to turn it on or off with a quick puff of wind.
The light has a great flame-like flicker to it, and the colors are just as different and vivid as the image here shows they are. The yellow/orange looks just like a real flame and the blue is just cool. The candles are made out of something that really feels like wax. They’re a top notch product.
I just finished a coast-to-coast road trip. I started in Oregon and ended up in Florida. It was great. Along the ride, we made use of a great big road atlas not unlike this one.
Not only is this a map, but it highlights America’s top 100 adventure destinations, according to the National Geographic editors. So if you know somebody who does a lot of traveling, this could be a great gift idea for them.
I live in the desert, so I wouldn’t have much need for this, but it seems to be a nice little idea. And if nothing else, it’s a gift idea that I figure would have girls say something to the effect of “Oh, how cute!”
They’re small cell phone bags in different color choices. The cool part is that the pouch is made of neoprene. That’s the stuff that is used to make wet suits. That means that if the phone makes it into the pouch before it hits the rain, no water will come in contact with the phone.
Of course, it also serves as a cute little accessory for a purse. The strap is leather (I figure it’s been waterproofed), and has a snap on one end so it can be attached to a loop on a purse or whatever, even a belt loop I suppose. At the time of this posting, they are ridiculously inexpensive too, at $6 a pop, not too shabby.
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.
This thing is totally sweet! The holidays are right around the corner, and it’s time to load on the sugar. College bowl games, late NFL season action, all kinds of good stuff to kick around the tube eating salt and drinking sugar.
This Coca-Cola can shaped glass will give anybody the comfort of drinking out of something that looks like a can, but with the experience of dealing with a glass. I’m curious as if this would mess with the brain’s memorized reaction to drinking out of a can. Ya know, pull it up to your mouth, then drink as if there’s only a little opening to drink from then boom, Coke all over your shirt.
Who knows, all I do know is that these things are pretty neato. Each glass is just a few bucks and is 12 oz. large, just the right size.
I dig earrings. I don’t notice a lot of them however. These ones would go noticed even by an unobservant guy like myself.
Made of synthetic black onyx and sterling silver, these are simple and to the point. The design on them is simple and elegant at the same time. They are each a little over an inch long, just the right size.
There’s not a lot more to say about them except that they really don’t cost much. There are also a lot of other great earrings over at SilverShake.com.
Avocado and vanilla mint. Don’t ask me! All I can say is that it sounds totally super awesome.
The product site actually has no description, which is great, but this is such an interesting sounding set of candles that I figured I’d give it a go anyway. My guess is that the avocado part isn’t so much for the smell, but more for the construction of the candle. I know it’s one of those things (is it a fruit or vegetable?) that is really good for you in a number of ways. The vanilla mint part is obviously what the scent is. I love just about anything that’s vanilla mint. I had one of those huge 3-wick candles long ago that was vanilla mint, it smelled really good. Anyway, go check it out yo.
