GiftGuy owns a Zeo, and his ZQ currently ranges between 57 and 79…

Here’s a great gadget for that person in your life that is hard to buy for and/or has trouble getting enough sleep. The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is currently priced at $250, was developed with leading sleep scientists, and lets you track your sleep at home. The company that invented and sells the Zeo is offering a 30 Day Risk Free Trial…

The Zeo is a personal sleep monitor that you wear on on your forehead with a lightweight stretchy band.  The Zeo monitors your brain activity provides data about the quality of sleep that you are getting.

The Zeo is NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE!!!  It IS a cool gadget that can help you understand more about the quality of sleep you are getting when you make changes to your routine.  For example, you might see that you have an average ZQ score between 50 and 60 when you first start (if you do not typically get high-quality sleep), but you might make changes in your life in the following and see how your score improves:

• Exercise!!!
• Number of caffeinated drinks per day
• How close to bedtime you have caffeine
• Eating sweets
• How close you eat to bedtime
• Alcohol consumption
• How many pillows you use
• The firmness of your pillow(s)
• Lighting in your room (e.g. if your digital alarm clock faces you or faces away from you)
• What time you go to bed
• How close to bedtime you watch TV
• Tobacco/nicotine
• Reading before bed (for pleasure or for business)
• Etc. etc.

Whether it’s Father’s Day or any other occasion, Dads always want a sign they are loved & understood!

I came across a very cool site, StationBay.com, that has a huge selection of awesome tin signs (like the large selection of mini clocks I found recently).  Because Father’s Day is around the corner, I wanted to highlight some tin signs that Dad would be proud to display (and it’s a very reasonably-priced gift!):

Golf Signs

My Wife Thinks…	Golf – Believe	Talk To Me Birdie

Fishing Signs

Three Stooges Fishing	American Fisherman	Wanted. A Good Fisherman

The Garage

Dad’s Fix It Shop	The Busted Knuckle Garage	What Happens in the Garage…

Nothing Wrong With a Beer or Two

Beer for Dinner	Bar Rules	Beer Will Change the World

StationBay.com has many, many more kinds of signs – sports, motorcycles, cars, outdoors, humor, and more. You’ll definitely be able to find a sign for whatever kind of Dad you have!

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!!!

Know someone who has a hard time getting up in the morning?  Do they run late getting to work or school?

Here’s a gift that will help them get up and go!

The gift (from Hammacher Schlemmer) might give you some amusement as well as you imagine the recipient scrambling around in the morning to find the flying rotor in order to silence the alarm on the clock.

The Flying Alarm Clock.

$39.95

Product Description

The Flying Alarm Clock

This digital alarm clock launches a rotor into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds, hovering up to 9′ in the air, and will not cease ringing until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base, compelling even the most stubborn sleepers to get out of bed on time. The alarm clock has a continuous snooze function that rings every seven minutes for an entire hour, an easy-to-read LCD, and a six-button control panel for ease of programming. Requires four AA batteries. 3 3/4″ H x 5 1/2″ Diam. (7 oz.) .

It’s a new age. And Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea would probably have a different storyline with today’s fishing technology advancements.

Help a helpless fisherman in your life come home with a respectable catch!

While not a cheap gift, a fish finder (aka “fishfinder”) is also not un-attainable from a budget perspective. Most fishfinders range from $199 to $2,800.

Some popular brands of fishfinders include EchoPilot, Furuno, Humminbird, Interphase, Northstar, and Raymarine.
