Father’s Day is fast approaching and you may still be trying to figure out what to get for your pops. Well my dad isn’t a Red Sox fan and he doesn’t collect anything but like me, he does enjoy relaxing outdoors and having a few brews. And…every so often he ventures over to the neighbors house and hangs out by their pool.

The Cruzin Cooler may very well be the perfect gift for my dad. Heck, it may be the perfect gift for most of the men I know. This thing is awesome!

Here is an excerpt from the site:

“Cruzin Cooler combines two basic necessities of life, the ability to have cold food or a beverage handy along with the means to get somewhere, without walking”…”is available in gas and electric models, with a 10 mile range on electric models and 30 miles on the gas models. The cooler can be used for hunting, sporting events, races, camping, golf or even a trip to the grocery store to keep your food cold all the way home.”

You have to check out the specs on this thing!

The Cruzin Cooler is only $350 at Cabelas or you can find a distributor near you. (As a side note it isn’t legal everywhere but they do give a list of states where it is)

Just picture Dad cruisin around on this thing, cold beers in the cooler and meats for grilling in tow…man, my dad would be in Heaven!

If you are a frequent visitor to the blog then you are already familiar with my adoration of gourmet food (and of course alcoholic beverages. What you may not know is that I actually LOVE to cook.

My Mom is Italian so I grew up watching her prepare delicious lasagna and pasta dishes with her homemade sauce. While I haven’t gotten the sauce down just yet, I would have to say that I have become pretty good.

Now maybe it’s because I’m Italian or maybe it’s from watching my mom but olive oil is used in almost ALL of my meals. It’s so great to grill with and can add some awesome flavor to meat or veggies (plus a little bit of salt and pepper mmm)…but it can be messy.

That is why I bought the Chef’N Oil Wand!

This thing is great! Easy to use, cheap and keeps my hands and counter top clean! Here is a little bit about it:

“The new OilWand™ is an oil baster and brush with countertop appeal. Just fill with your favorite oil then give a light squeeze! The heat resistant silicone brush allows you to evenly spread the oil over a hot pan or your favorite veggies.”

It’s also dishwasher safe. Gotta love that! The OilWand is only $9.99 and can be found over at Chef Central.

As you know, the goal of GiftStumped is to help you find those gifts that you wouldn’t normally think of and ya know, ‘Un-Stump Your Brain‘.

Aside from just helping you find unique and cool gifts we also like to feature gifts that give back.

This week we wanted to talk about Dell’s RED line.

Most people have seen or heard about RED through their clothing products or know it as Bono’s charity/foundation. The cool thing is they have partnered with companies like Apple, American Express, Armani and Dell to raise money.

In the case of Dell, Dell and RED have worked to create a line of computers. They have notebooks, a printer and of course the XPS One.

The XPS One is a desktop that comes with the works! Here is a little about it:

• Intel® Core 2 Duo E4500
• Windows Vista® Ultimate (PRODUCT) RED (sorry..maybe they’ll do it without Vista)
• Adobe Elements Studio for XPS™ One
• Norton Internet Security™
• 250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive
• 8X Slot load CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW)
• Hybrid Analog/Digital TV Tuner with Remote Control
• Internal Bluetooth 2.0 Included
• You can of course find more specs at the Dell site.

The XPS One starts at $1599 but the best part is…for each computer purchased, $80 goes directly to Africa. And according to the site, $80 gets 6 months of life preserving antiretroviral medication for a person living with AIDS in Africa.

So, while a computer itself may not be a unique gift, one that contributes to a good cause is. Kudos to Dell and the other companies participating in this!

I have lived in Boston for almost two years now and if there is one thing I know it’s that, if you live in Boston, you cheer for the Red Sox. And if you don’t cheer for the Red Sox, you don’t tell anybody!

My roommate’s Dad absolutely LOVES the Sox and I told her she should get him this Red Sox gift bucket for Father’s Day (if you haven’t noticed MsGift really likes gift baskets).

Ok, maybe it’s a little cheesy but I think it is cute and contains some good stuff:

• Red Sox Baseball Hat
• Replica Autographed Baseball (2007 roster)
• Red Sox Peanuts (love them)
• New England Salt Water Taffy
• Cherry Lobster Pops
• A Stuffed Wally

The Red Sox Gift Bucket would make a great father’s day gift for that Sox fan who doesn’t get to see the games in person. They can watch the game in their living room, eat some peanuts and have Wally sitting right next to them.

Sounds like a great dad’s day to me! The Red Sox gift basket is made by the Massachusetts Bay Trading co and costs $75.

We always see photos of Brad Pitt taking the kids for rides in helicopters, playing on ATV’s and cruising around all sexy on his motorcycles (I added the ‘all sexy’ part). So for a man who already has all of these toys, what in the world do you get him for his birthday?

According to the Courier Mail, you apparently buy him a $100,000 custom engraved motorcycle. Or at least that is what you do if you are Angelina Jolie.

Angelina gave Brad a brand new motorcycle featuring a plaque on the handlebars that reads ‘My Sweetheart, the Drunk‘. While that doesn’t sound very romantic, it’s the name of a Jeff Buckley album, who is apparently Brad’s favorite musician.

Now I can’t afford to buy Brad a brand new motorcycle but I can give him great gift-buying tips…he’ll probably want to marry me soon.
