I have to say – this is one of my favorite gift ideas so far.  Favorite primarily because this company, Miniclock.com, has an incredible selection of small, miniature clocks!

Because it is time-consuming to add images and links into a blog post, I cannot do Miniclocks.com justice with the few mini clocks highlighted below.  These aren’t even necessarily the coolest or most-interesting clocks, it’s just that I was overwhelmed with all of the choices.

“Fries With That?” French Fries Clock	Golfing Time Golf Clock	Gone Fishin’ Fishing Rod Clock
Got Up, Now Have to Stay Up Espresso Machine Clock	It’s Beer O’Clock Draft Beer Clock	Cut & a Blow Dry? Barber Shop Clock

Here are just some of the clock ideas/types that you can find there:

• Firemen
• Barbers
• Golfers
• Clocks for Kids
• Animals – Cats, Dogs, Elephants, Snakes, Birds, and more
• Perfume Bottles
• Kitchen Appliances
• Jukeboxes
• Slot Machines
• Fishing
• Keychain Clocks
• Phones
• Pool (the game)
• Makeup

More, more, more!!!

Giving someone a Bag of Coal doesn’t have to be evil this year.  In fact, it’s Lesser Evil!!!

Bag O’ Coal – Santa’s Dozen $17.99

Giftguy and Ms. Gift have both sampled this delicious snack, and we agree that it’s yummy! And, with no trans-fatty acids, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors, low fat, it truly is a lesser evil for snacking this holiday season.

What particularly intrigued me is that the Crate O’ Coal makes a great Corporate Holiday Gift! Definitely the way to go to cause some buzz in your clients’ offices this year.

Crate O’ Coal $19.99

The Lesser Evil brand is fun to get into as well. And, they have lots of other great holiday gift ideas.  Here are a few:

Here is some more health/nutrition information straight from Lesser Evil’s FAQ page:

Q: What makes LesserEvil Kettle Corn a lesser evil?

A: Naturally wholegrain and gluten free, our gourmet popcorn is air-popped and cooked in a huge copper kettle with only the best all natural ingredients. Keeping things simple, we sweeten with real evaporated cane juice, and work with genuine ingredients like ground cinnamon, natural peanut butter, chocolate liquor, and real maple syrup (and sometimes just a hint of clarified butter). Just as important as what’s put in, is what’s left out… no trans-fatty acids, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial colors or flavors. Finally, to make sure you can enjoy guilt-free, we make sure all of our flavors are kept low fat and with a very reasonable calorie count (only 120 grams per serving!).

Happy Holiday Snacking from GiftStumped!!!

We were just contacted by the people behind The Pirate Ship Dreadnought suggesting that their “full scale pirate structure” would be a very unique (and expensive) gift.

For those of you with some extra cash to spend ($475,000), this could make a very cool gift indeed!!

So, if any millionaires and/or celebrities read our blog (you know you should), think big.  Angelina, wouldn’t Brad like this pirate ship sitting in the yard of one of your properties?  Better yet, Johnny Depp, ask for this for Christmas!  Or you could give it to Keith Richards as an homage to your homage to him.

Here is a bit of the description on the site offering this ship for sale:

For sale is the Dreadnought, a highly accurate, expertly detailed full scale pirate ship structure that will give a museum, unique business, maritime or pirate festival instant recognition and notoriety.  Price of the Dreadnought is $475,000 US dollars plus Wisconsin sales tax.  Cost of removal of the pirate ship structure and transportation to new location is the responsibility of the buyer.

Aaarh maties!  Prepare the cannons…

One of my favorite things about being on an airplane is reading the SkyMall magazine. I like to pretend I have a big house and copious amounts of money and then I pick out all of the completely unnecessary things that make up SkyMall.

I also look through it and every time think, ‘Oh man what an awesome idea’. This past weekend was no exception as I found one of the coolest inventions EVER!

A pen that has a recorder, an FM radio, a flash drive and can play MP3s! I would feel like James Bond with that thing!

Here is what SkyMall says about it:

“These multifunction pens digitally record up to 64 hours using a built in microphone. They can also transfer 2 GB of data and play up to 1000 songs in MP3 or WMA format. The CompuFlash mo0del is also an FM radio.”

The pen will only run you $89.99! This would make a great gift for a college student, a co-worker, the salesman in your life or anyone interested in gadgets.
