Personalized Baby Shower Invitations

Personalized Baby Shower InvitationsNow, I’ve never been to a baby shower, and as a guy, I’m not sure I ever will go to one. That’s just fine with me, but if I saw this invitation card lying around, I might want to go check it out!

This is another personalized card from TinyPrints.com. There are a whole slew of baby shower invitations on the site right here. Some are funny, others are classy, most of them have great style.

Flexible Shaft Ratcheting Screwdriver

Flexible Shaft Ratcheting ScrewdriverI can’t count how many times this tool would have come in handy in the past. This is a great gift idea for just about anybody. It’s so annoying to find a screw that needs loosened or tightened but you just can’t quite fit a screwdriver in that spot.

This will let you get to tight spots and still get that screw tightened or undone. It has a magnetic hex tip so it will hold all the many bits it comes with. Here are those as well as the specs and warranty:

  • Has a standard 1/4” (6.35mm) magnetized hex opening to hold all standard driver bits
  • Comes with 15 bits (5 Phillips, 3 slotted, 3 Torx, 3 Hex)
  • Comes with 5 driver sockets (5/32″, 3/16″, 1/4″, 9/32″, 5/16″)
  • Dimensions: 12.75″ length (32.4 cm)
  • One year manufacturer warranty

Good stuff all in one tool, nice.

Flying Animals

Flying AnimalsWhat 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!

MoPod Phone Charms

MoPod Phone CharmsTime to give your phone a friend…or maybe somebody else’s phone! These little dudes are kind of cool. As you can see in the little picture there, the MoPod critters start spinning when they are within a meter of a phone receiving a call or text message.

I’m not sure how they work, but if this is hung on the outside of your bag, and your phone is left on silent, this little guy will help you see the call coming in. How handy! There are at least 7 of these guys to choose from, including a penguin and a monkey!

Spin a phone critter here.

Carabiner Mug

Carabiner MugGet that hiker friend of yours the perfect piece of useful flair for his or her backpack. It’s really a simple, yet perfectly executed.

This carabiner mug isn’t only practical and totally awesome, but well insulated as well! The mug itself is double-walled to keep that warm drink warm or the cold one nice and chilly. They’re pretty cheap too, so get one for everybody in the crew. Good times, good times.

Hang your drink here.

PANIC Button

PANIC ButtonJust what everybody needs at work, a panic button! Slap this puppy on your keyboard and have some fun with your fellow employees.

The button doesn’t do anything of course, and I’m not sure if it even depresses at all, but boy it sure looks good! One tip in the comments on the product’s page is that it’s not too great of an idea to put it on a laptop computer…it won’t shut thereafter.

Need to get a cheap gift for everybody in the office? Give them a bag of panic buttons!

15 Inch Digital Photo Frame

15 Inch Digital Photo FrameDigital photo frames are a great way to go if you don’t want to have the same old photo sitting on your desk for years. They keep it interesting, and make it very easy to change photos.

You can use just about any kind of memory card loaded with pictures to insert into the frame. Once it’s in there, you can have a nice slideshow of all the pictures on there. You can also hook this up to an external hard drive, so really, there isn’t a limit on how many photos this thing will show. The cool thing about this one is that it’s a whopping 15″ frame! It’s called the Gigantor, great name. Digital frames are kind of expensive, but this one is priced very reasonably for such a large one. They’ve got other sizes over at ThinkGeek too, as in 10.4″ and 8″.

Frame some digital photos here.

Amazon Kindle

Amazon KindleThis is a new product from Amazon called the Kindle. It’s a portable reader basically, but it’s oh so much more.

The Kindle has wireless connectivity similar to a cell phone, only you don’t need the contract and service agreement to make it work. The display actually uses ink and is called Electronic Paper. So that means that your eyes will feel like they are reading paper instead of an electronic screen, and the best part is that you can read it in the daylight with no problem. It claims to reflect light just like paper, awesome.

You can download books, newspapers, and blogs to the Kindle and store them on it so you can read them anytime. It has a bookmark system so it will remember where you left off in your reading last time you finished. All in all, if you know a book reader who travels frequently, this could be the best gift they ever receive. Even somebody who just loves a good book will enjoy the Kindle. The book download feature sounds great, of course the books aren’t free, but you can get them almost as soon as you think you’d like to read that book…pretty sweet.

About Page Added

I finally got around to adding an About Page for The Gift Idea Blog. There’s nothing much to it, just thought I’d say hi to the visitors of this site. Enjoy!

Giant Leprechaun Hat

Giant Leprechaun HatI 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!
