Helping you un-stump your brain and find the perfect gift
Father’s Day
Let The Cold Beverages Come to You
Apr 14th
This unique gift idea seems like it’s perfectly targeted to men. But, any women with an interest in this remote-controlled cooler will always hold a special place in my heart (even though I’m taken, I can still admire someone’s coolness!).
BBQ season is just about here, and what guy wouldn’t be psyched to show off his new “beer robot” to his friends? You could wait until Father’s Day, but that just wouldn’t be fair to make him wait. And, if it’s a guy yet to have kids, why should he suffer in the heat because of that?
It’s only 70 bucks!

This cool beverage butler can roll across a patio, rug, or kitchen floor to deliver a well-timed beverage to parched party guests.
Room for 12 cans or bottles & ice! The cooler rolls on four sturdy underside wheels up to 40′ from the host at the controls. The remote’s simple controls send the cooler forward, backward, and left or right. With sides of water-resistant insulated vinyl and a secure zippered lid, beverages stay cold for hours. The cooler can be carried with the removable shoulder strap and collapses to just 6 1/2″ tall for storage. Sturdy construction can transport 22 lbs. of drinks and ice. Requires one 9-volt battery and six C batteries. 13 1/4″ H x 12″ diam. (7 lbs.) |

Wee Little Ones Can Shop for Mom!
Apr 11th
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this is the perfect time to highlight an online store I found recently called Wee Can Shop. Of course, when you visit the site, you’ll see immediately that this is a great place to shop year-round, and not just on Mother’s Day!

The store’s tagline says a lot about why I wanted to highlight the shop:
Welcome to the town of Wee Can Shop. Where children can shop for the ones they love. I’ve also been having a nice exchange on Twitter with Kimberly Foley, one of the founders of Wee Can Shop (follow her @WeeCanShop). Oh, and another cool thing – Kim gave us a coupon code that you can use to get 10% off your entire order on the site: 10% Off Coupon Code = giftstumped |
| Visit WeeCanShop |
There is a great selection of gifts on the site, and they have a very comprehensive set of ways to look for the perfect gift (e.g. Babies, Girls, Boys, Ladies, Gentlemen, Dad/Grandpa, Mom/Grandma, Teachers, Pets, The Eco-Friendly, The Gardener, The Cook, The Office, The Bath, The Holidays, Just Arrived, One-Of-A-Kind, Garage Sale, and 8 different price ranges).
A couple of my favorite products on the WeeCanShop website are these eco-friendly bags made out of recycled candy wrappers (handbag/purse) and newspapers (shoulder bag):

The Gift of Google for Your Technically Challenged Elders
Mar 23rd
It’s here!!!
Google for Seniors: Get Acquainted with Free Google Applications: Google Earth, Maps, Reader, Docs, Sites, Chrome
Despite the unfortunate release date of April 1st (April Fool’s Day), this came to fruition as a real book! (I had originally posted this as an “it’s coming” post prior to being published, and I had this small tickle in my brain that April Fool’s day was coming).
|
Order (and pre-order) here at Amazon.com |
So, for your grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, senior friends that may (actually) have an interest in becoming better-acquainted with all the rich information that Google has to offer, this could be a winning gift idea.
I personally think that donating this book to a Senior Center, Elderly Housing Complex, Assisted Living Living Facility, etc. would be very welcomed by those organizations.
Here’s a description of the book:
With step-by-step instructions and illustrative screenshots, this guide is designed specifically for seniors, and provides detailed information on the free software and services provided online by Google. For beginners and more advanced computer users alike, this insightful resource shows how to perform tasks such as exploring the world, building a free website, browsing the internet, creating documents, and sharing web albums & sharing online calendars, by using the host of options available through Google.
The Gift of Healthy Sleep

| Get even better sleep with GiftStumped’s special Relax The Back deals |
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 (think of it as your own personal sleep monitor) 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 (by monitoring your sleep patterns and brain patterns at night while you are sleeping). 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.
You can learn a lot more at the Zeo Website…

Give Dad a Sign (that he’s The Man)
May 29th
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!):

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

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!
Dad, not into signs? Maybe he’d enjoy a beer gift or a wine gift?
