This gift would pretty much set the bar for coolest cubicle in the whole office. It’s a functioning Venus fly trap. Crazy stuff!
The pod has a motion detector that will close when it senses a bug (or finger I suppose) and snaps shut. It’s cupped so that the bug won’t be squished. That means you can check the little dude out before you do whatever else it is you’d like to do with the prisoner.
At first I thought this was just a little toy, but it’s pretty good sized. It weighs a full pound and is 9 inches tall. This is a pretty serious bug catcher, and it’s pretty cheap too! So give this as a gift to somebody who likes to play a little while they’re at work. They’ll be the popular person for the week at work for sure!
Trap some bugs here.
This little piano looks awesome. It’s a miniature, fully working player piano. It’s less than one square foot in size, but is built like a real grand piano.
The little guy comes with 100 songs programmed into its memory. The tiny little keys actually move when the songs play and you can even hear them moving just like a full size player piano. Pretty wild stuff. It ships from Japan, but will still arrive rather quickly for a decent price.
This would be a great gift for somebody who likes to host classy parties, probably not wild parties though, as the tiny piano may end up getting crushed. So give somebody the gift of tiny saloon type music!

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!
Let your hearts grow here.
Here’s a weird and kind of creepy Valentine’s Day gift idea. It’s a chocolate replica of a human heart that weighs an entire pound! That picture makes it look even more creepy than it probably is I’m guessing.
This might be a good gift idea for a medical student or professional I’d imagine. I think some people would really get a kick out of it while others might kick you if you gave it to them for Valentine’s Day. Either way, this is one of the most original ideas I’ve seen. It would be awesome if it was filled with some raspberry sauce or something that made it look like it was bleeding when it got bitten into. Ew!
Give somebody a bigger heart here.
I had to blog about this one because it’s so unique looking. I think I might call it a Glob-O-Riches.
I kind of like the style of it though, it looks like it could be rearranged this way or that. The pink stones are freshwater pink colored pearl. Mix that with a bunch of little sterling silver beads and you’ve got something great to hang around your lady’s neck.
SilverShake.com has quite a bit of unique jewelry for ladies and men around the Valentine’s Day holiday. Good times!
Get her some pink and silver here.
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.
Stop somebody’s door here.
This is a cool little piece of home decor. As you can see, little Mr. lifter guy is doing his best to hold the CD holder on its edge. Who knows why he’s doing it, but at least it will keep the CDs stacked neatly in there.
You may notice that the lifting guy is using proper technique, using his legs, not his back. Because of the proper form, he’ll be happy to hold that position forever to support a small portion of your CD collection.
The lifter guy has 2 friends who also support various types of CD storage spots. They are climbing man and pushing man. I think they’re all pretty cool looking, so check them out!
Help hold some CDs here.
This little clock is totally awesome. You know those pin frame things? I really don’t know what they’re called, but they have lots of little pins that will stay in place if the thing stands on its side. You start by putting your hand in it, then, as the imagination grows, it turns into finding inanimate objects around the room to push the pins onto, then it always ends up with a face being pressed on the pins. Yeah, that!
Well, this clock is one of those, except instead of hands, objects, and faces, the pins move to show what the current time is, hence the name Pin Clock.
With each passing minute, different pins will rearrange to show the new time. When that happens, you can hear the pins move, nothing loud, just a soothing little shuffle. It’s a pretty neat little desk clock, and of course, a great gift idea!
Keep the time with metal pins here.
So this OHbaby! Toys and Gifts website has all kinds of plush dolls or stuffed animals, whatever you’d prefer to call them. Most of them are cute little ducks and bears and stuff like that. So naturally, I found one of the few weird freakish dolls they have on there.
This particular doll is Peaco. Apparently Peaco is shy on the outside, but a wild man on the inside. I love the description on the product page, it talks all about how Peaco loves to dance in the water and what not.
Apparently this won some awards too for being a pretty awesome toy. Wild stuff.
Dance with the 3-eyed Peaco here.
