for Drinkers

Let The Cold Beverages Come to You

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!

The Remote Controlled Rolling Beverage Cooler.

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.)

Gift Recipient Must Love Wine, and You Must Be Very Generous!

As I was pulling together a range of gift idea selections for our wine gift store, I came across a piece of art that made me wonder – who has the money to buy this gift online?  It’s gorgeous. And I absolutely see why this piece of detailed glass artwork is desirable.  But, a $14,000+ purchase online?

One very positive reason to purchase this is that the artist, David Van Noppen, will personally deliver and install it for you!!!

Limited edition art for wine enthusiasts (deep pockets and a generous spirit required):

Hanging Grape Vine
$14,850 (Limited Edition)
Created by: David Van Noppen

Hand formed interlocking glass grape vine. Twenty four grape clusters in amethyst, wine red, amber, and green tones. This piece hangs on support webbing. Each grape cluster hangs from either the webbing or off of glass leaves that are attached to the webbing. A sturdy location is required for hanging, as this piece can weigh in excess of 150 lbs. Due to the unique nature of this work, color and individual elements will vary from those shown.

Please Note:
Price and shipping charge includes personal delivery and installation by the artist.
Please contact the Customer Care department at ArtfulHome.com with delivery and installation questions.

Help Them Keep Time With Style

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.
