Give the Gift of Memories

Posted by giftguy, Mar 07th, 2010

It’s a wonderful world these days where it is now sooooo easy to organize your photos and publish your own photo book full of memories.

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:

PhotoWorks
Shutterfly
Snapfish
Blurb
Vistaprint
MyPublisher

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:

(Oh, and Mother’s Day is coming up soon enough, so put this idea on your list.)


The Gift of Healthy Sleep

Posted by giftguy, Nov 28th, 2009

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

Learn about Zeo, a new home sleep monitor

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.

You can learn a lot more at the Zeo Website

Unique T-Shirts for Unique People

Finroo recruits artists to put their artwork up on the site and only 100 shirts of each piece of art is ever printed (in other words, these are limited edition t-shirts!).

Help Them Keep Time With Style

Posted by giftguy, May 17th, 2009

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.
