Jamming For Fun Without The Hassle of Bad Notes
Jun 29th
If you have a gift recipient who is interested in playing the guitar, the Strumstick is a kick-ass way to have some fun! (this is an amazing gift for guitar players of any skill level – you don’t have to worry about whether or not they are beginners or advanced guitar players because the Strumstick is about having fun and hanging out; remember this when Christmas roll around!)
Check out some cool videos of people playing the Strumstick!
Also, if you are looking for a gift for someone who is interested in learning how to play the guitar, read our overview of the Learn & Master Guitar DVD Lessons Set.

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.) |

Giving a custom-made, personalized photo book is a fantastic gift, and practically guaranteed to WOW!! the recipient.
Unless, you don’t take great pictures, or if slap something together as quickly as possible, or the person receiving the photo book doesn’t like the memories you are presenting….
There are so many occasions that fit this kind of present – anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, thank-you’s, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day (maybe), and even just-because.
Most people already have their own personal favorite photo-sharing website, but here’s a quick list just in case you don’t have a favorite yet:

Have fun creating your photo book, and get ready for the crazy amount of praise you are going to get!
For a twist on giving the gift of photo memories, you might look at creating an online video out of your pics:

The Gift of Healthy Sleep
Nov 28th
| 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.

Help Them Keep Time With Style
May 17th
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?” | Golfing Time | Gone Fishin’ |
