Gifts for Everybody!
Written by: TheCelebrityCafe.com Staff
A mixture of traditional and extraordinary gifts, but all are geared for the person
Add Logix USB Miniature Aquarium
This is the gift for the person whose best friend is a video screen and to whom 1st base is just caressing the control key. The pulsation of the fish and the blue light LED only enhance the mood. Small enough to fit on the corner of the desk, yet as with any fish tank, relaxing to the sight. One fish looks like a clown fish but the other is some type of blue fish that only its mother could love. They don't fight or poop so the water doesn't need changing or the glass cleaned. In fact don't feed them! They will live anyway.
Casio Watches
Baby-G Beach Baby, lightweight yet strong as steel, with colors that are delicate, yet recognizable as something new. While it has a tanning timer, I doubt that this watch will ever see the day light since baby doesn't get up before dark: nothing worthy ever happens in the sun. As for the G-Shock MudMan there is strength in the tan. It seems to exude a certain class, but the wrist must be large enough to complement the very watch size. Not only is this watch called MudMan, but you need the wrist of a mud man to carry it. Shock, water and now mud resistant, I wonder if earthquake is next.
Affirmawraps
Simply a soft cuddly blanket with affirmations imprinted on it; but the results of this, given as a gift, go far beyond the mere material. Many times we have heard the line "it's the thought that counts," here it is the thought that also gives the power: power to heal, arise another day, get past the problems and express love. This blanket is the end game, the capper of expression, the conclusion of emotional expression: you are loved… and you know it! Just don't read the affirmations while wrapped and seated in a chair, you'll fall out bending over. I did.
Select Comfort Sleeping Pillows
Pillows are so important to the sleep process, but many folks don't give them the time of day. They wander around seeking friends and intimate places where they can be truly appreciated. GridZone Foam Mini Pillow wandered into my bed and I hope it stays for a long, long time since I can no longer sleep alone. It caresses my head in ways that mother never did. It forms to the shape of my neck and head, supporting and fondling them for the deepest experience. Mmmmmm we'll continue later.
An alternative to the traditional head pillow is a body pillow. It is made with a microgel fiber and is hypoallergenic. Basically it is a very long pillow giving full body support. Kind of like another person but without the snoring and weight shifting. If you wake up with an occasional headache, then tell them to leave, and tomorrow night try this pillow. Select comfort makes both of these pillows easy to clean but you may want to order two of them: one to use for yourself and another for others to try out.
Dremel Stylus cordless
We told you that every house needs a Dremel for the
small jobs where power and speed is needed, but big
equipment is too bulky. Now as a reminder, check out
their website. The very first page shows a guy
building a boat using the Dremel. Next year he'll
probably be working on the Queen Mary. Check out the
website for their newest little item, the EZ Lock.
It's a quick changer for the different accessories .
This is a neat tool and should be in the kitchen
drawer for emergencies. Like when little Timmy rides
his bicycle into the coffee table. Just add the
polishing tip and the scratch is gone in flash; but
Timmy will be with you for at least 20 more years.
After that emergency, use it for a bigger job of
sanding tight drawers and doors. After your day of
hard work, the wife may even serve steak for dinner.
You are a family hero!
Cooper Hand Tools Rapid Slide Crescent Wrench
With the convenient one hand adjustable action, you'll be fixing things that aren't even broken. The wide handle gives it extra strength and the head has both US and metric markings. Check out the website for other tools that you need. It is pretty well accepted that in today's busy world most of us have no time to try to fix anything so, do it right the first time by getting the right tool. Some of the newer tools are single use, that is, designed for the specific task at hand and do not do double duty. Years ago we would take an axe and double use it for a hammer. But the hammer has taken on its own set of rules: a framing hammer does not do tacking, tacking does not do roofing and roofing doesn't work for brick. Go to the site and learn something.
Automats Yes Essentials by Milliken
In most suburban homes, you use the car as a private bus to take the kids to all events. The car is loaded with dirty equipment, shirts and kids. In the rain, the flavor of the indoor air is compounded with additional sweat and moisture. Then there is a stinking wet mess all over the car…except where it drips onto the floor mats. The water beads up, the smell does not soak in, and the dirt gets brushed off. A deeper mess can be cleaned with soap, water and then vacuumed up. I wonder if they could make bed sheets for those long cold nights when it's hard to get up and seek relief (and then accidents happen).
Bowdabra
My wife is a little bit of a bow-freak. At each gift occasion she will actually volunteer to clean up the room of ribbon and wrapping paper. What is not known (till now) is that the reason she does it is to collect the fancy bows that were on the packages. It is a disease that manifests itself in partially hidden bags under beds and in closets filled with bows. The Bowdabra kit and website are easy to use and have very clear directions as to how to make the beautiful large bows that the stores charge extra for. While the kit comes with an instructional DVD, the website almost stands alone. Supplies, instructional pages, hints and encouragement are all there. Now if only Bowdabra could make my taxes just as easy to do.
AeroGarden
Aerogrow presents indoor gardening at its easiest: No soil, no bugs, and fast growth. That says it all. I suggest that one start with the Salad Greens Kit to have a successful garden in about 3 weeks; then move on to a whole new kit, like the Gourmet Herbs for a slightly longer time to first harvest. The other kits will help round out the indoor garden. What I liked about the kits is that the instructions were understandable and easy, nothing was fancy or overly scientific. While one kit won't feed a family of 10, it can enhance the cooking for a family of four and certainly an eating couple can add spice to their lives. The kits are easy to assemble and are based on aeroponic technology, which is, essentially, the roots getting water and nutrition from the air in a controlled environment. But don't worry, the kit is small enough for a counter top because aeroponics have an advantage of allowing plants to grow quite close and full, since they are not fighting for their food.
Strait-Line Laser Cube
Hanging pictures on a slant? Again! Stop it! Strait-line has made it their passion to keep all the lines straight. Easy to use, fun to handle and best of all you can't make a mistake when you level the cube and follow the red light. Pictures look good and pleasing to the eye, even curtains look better when the length is uniform. Hanging a ceiling is a bit easier when all sides are level. The next time a cop stops you for driving under the influence, take out this laser line and walk it. I'm certain you'll get what you deserve.
"Go Red for Women" Red Dress Tree Ornament Gloria Duchin Inc.
24-Karat gold tone and filled with red glitter, the Red Dress Ornament was developed under the reputation of Gloria Duchin, with a portion of proceeds going to the "Go Red for Women" Program of the American Heart Association. Of course for the off season, view the dogs with angel wings. They're a nice touch to add to a gift as a label holder. Both items have weight to them and the craftsmanship looks good. I think with a cutie pin they would be a conversation starter on the lapel.
Sweet Dreams Maternity Wear
Here is a great gift for the mom-to-be: maternity lingerie that can even be worn post partum and during nursing. Pregnant women need anything that helps them feel sexy.
Sweet Dreams definitely accomplishes this goal. Their white cotton gown looks so romantic and feminine with its Battenburg lace neckline. Give that pregnant woman in your life a chance to feel pampered and sexy with a belly!
Bejeweled
You've heard of a twinkle in the eye, well these shirts are a twinkle on the chest! Now eyes can be drawn to the body and actually see something instead of undressing with the mind. The fabrics are soft and comfortable with embellishments that explode the eyes. From rivets that could puncture balloons (so don't kiss close) to delicate rhinestones, all accent the design on the shirts. Whether the design is simple or elaborate, attention will be drawn to and stay fixated on you. And they really are reading the article…of clothing.
Alter Your Life
Making small changes in your life can have big results, so it makes sense that altering your life can be done on a more practical basis than changing your life. The question is how to do the altering? Alteryourlife.com provides a site for inspirational guidance and small change tools. Whether it is jewelry that enhances and not just looks good, or a carry-bag that reminds us of our hidden goals and not only just carries items, these little changes mean something more is coming, be ready. The gifts presented are almost tools for an emotional intervention. Like the hangers off the shower head that have messages printed on them, such as "Feel the fear…Do it any way," or a coffee cup reminding us to "Breathe." It is the truth in small doses. So drink up!
Shred Alert, Inc.
Warm re-defined, style re-defined, colors, caps and scarves, re-defined, re-defined, re-defined. When weather is being redefined with really cold air coming to parts of the country that were once warmer, it is time that a company works to change how we deal with it. The Lambgirl is a lamb suede, cowgirl style hat that shouts warm and fuzzy and will cause you to change your outfits to match the warm colors. I have worn the Shady Wooly and it keeps my roof insulated without me looking like the Fudd man. But the Essay only looks handmade and contains a microfleeceliner that welcomes the cold in from the slope where it will sit. Have a drink and take the winter off.
Western Chief Women: Splashy Prints Black Cherry Rain Boots
These boots smell like rubber, are water proof and have a cotton liner that absorbs moisture. The Splashy Prints lives up to its name, so an eye covering might be advisable.
The thick tread provides a good grip on snow while the actual weight of the boot is still manageable and the rubber is flexible. I welcome the rain just to wear them! I remember as a kid wearing boots like these, but in the all purpose black on black color. Now I can make the statement, "I love cherries."
