Thursday 13 Unique Gift Ideas
With Christmas right around the corner, here are 13 unique, last-minute gift ideas for those of you who still haven’t bought all of your presents yet:
Thursday 13
1. Ball Ice Cream Maker – for a holiday flare.
2. Flameless, Scented Candles – safer around pets and kiddo’s.
3. Sippin’ Seat Cushion – Actually, this is just kind of gross.
4. A Square Foot of Irish Countryside – You can’t get much use out of it, but you can say you own property in Ireland I guess.
5. Universal Voice-Activated Remote - for the extremely lazy.
6. Choose Your Adventure Gift Certificates – from hang gliding to snowshoeing.
7. UV Toothbrush Sanitizer - for those germaphobes.
8. Chocolate of the Month Club - every woman wants this.
9. Secret Security Camcorder Hidden in a Clock – stealth cameras for super spies
10. Star Wars Nutcrackers – I’m not sure who’d pay $350 on a nutcracker, but whatever floats your boat.
11. Double Lucky Pyramid Bamboo Plant - for those with a black thumb, these are hard to kill.
12. iPod Dock Toilet Paper Holder – There is now, officially, an iPod holder for everything.
13. Home Planetarium – Now, this is just cool. And only $25!

Those home security cameras used to terrify me when I was a kid and babysitting…not because I was doing anything wrong…I was just afraid that the parents were going to come home and see that after the kids went to bed I danced around their living room for an hour to amuse myself! lol
So…I used to walk around the house looking in dolls and teddy bears and clocks…before starting my “kids have gone to bed” interpretive dance!
My TT is up!

Too funny! I’ve been paranoid about them before too, but I never actually went looking for hidden cameras.. I knew it was all in my head.

Cool list! #1, 2, 7 and 13 would be great gifts.
BTW, I like the Stargate snowflake graphic at the top of your blog. Very cool.
Stargate (both SG-1 and Atlantis) are “must watch” for both my husband and I!
Happy Holidays.

I gave those ice cream balls last year – they are really fun! My dad would like the nut cracker! Great list!!!
I played too!

The nutcracker cracks me up. Love it, who knew Darth Vader had a thing for nuts?
December 21st, 2006 at 11:01 am
Okay, this has NOTHING to do with your 13, but where did you get the Xmas stargate banner??? I’m a huge Stargate fan…that’s awesome!
We got my brother-in-law the ice cream maker balls last year…we get him wacky gifts every year. He loves it!
My 13 are up.

Ok the seat thing is weird, and 350 for a Darth Vader nutcracker … I have a few things to say about that, but I won’t. I do like the home planetarium that is most cool.
December 21st, 2006 at 11:06 am
Chickadee – Thanks.. Acutally, I made the banner myself in photoshop.
December 21st, 2006 at 11:20 am
Love love love the Darth Vader nutcracker! If only it wasn’t so expensive!
Happy TT and have a Merry Christmas!
December 21st, 2006 at 11:28 am
Those are all very…um…interesting? :0)
Great list though – kept me reading!
Happy TT!
I’m up!

that pillow is just plain disturbing. and people wonder why so many are overweight.
I like the ice cream thing, though.
December 21st, 2006 at 11:57 am
Interesting gifts! I’d like to try some of those candles sometime and see if they work.
Absolutely love the planetarium! I will have to keep that in mind for a future gift request!!!
December 21st, 2006 at 12:13 pm
I’m diggin’ the home planetarium thingy. Actually, it kinda looks like the ball ice cream maker. Maybe next year they’ll have a ice cream maker/planetarium combo.
The seat thing is kind of wierd.
Fun stuff. It’s amazing what things are out there.
Merry Christmas!

Chocolate of the month club?! Oh yes!
December 21st, 2006 at 12:16 pm
HAHAHA I read #12 as DUCK…and was thinking…why in the world would someone make an iPod/TP holder in the shape of a DUCK ! Man…I’m losing it!
December 21st, 2006 at 12:42 pm
I’d love to have the nutcracker! But no way at that price. I’ll have to live with my Darth Vader bank.
The ice cream balls are a cool idea. I’ll have to see if I can find them.
December 21st, 2006 at 12:47 pm
Love the ice cream ball maker! I got my nephew one of these for his birthday this year. For those readers lookin for them, I got mine from redenvelope.com And yes, every woman DOES was the Chocolate of the Month Club!!
December 21st, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Now you can listen to your Ipod… on the toilet. Gross! Chocolate of the Month, though, that sounds cool.
December 21st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
I would love to walk into someone’s bathroom and see the ipod holder…or better yet, go into someone’s house, ask to use the bathroom, and behave very badly when she tells me she doesn’t own the ipod holder for the bathroom.
But I can’t go without listening Tom Jones! I just can’t!
The planetarium and the chocolate of the month sound really awesome. I hope someone signs me up for the monthly pass!
Happy Thursday to you!
December 21st, 2006 at 2:22 pm
What a cool list! Wish I’d seen a few of those items a couple of weeks ago.
December 21st, 2006 at 2:29 pm
We actually have one of those planetariums. Very cool, indeed.
But I’d, of course, trade it for the chocolate of the month. No contest!
Happy TT!
December 21st, 2006 at 2:50 pm
We got the planetarium last year. It’s awesome. Happy TT! Thanks for all the gift ideas.
December 21st, 2006 at 2:52 pm
I’d love to get some of those myself, especially #8!
My TT is about Yule.
December 21st, 2006 at 3:20 pm
The home planetarium is very cool.
I didn’t even notice that was a winter stargate! I am so ashamed.
December 21st, 2006 at 3:27 pm
I’m so jealous that some of you already have that home planetarium!
Carrie – LOL, don’t worry.. I only changed a few weeks ago..
December 21st, 2006 at 3:44 pm
I know I want the chocolate!
December 21st, 2006 at 3:50 pm
I want the tooth brush sanitizer!!!! That is such a great idea!!! I guess that makes me a germaphobe. But I don’t care… it’s just cool.
germaphobes of the world unite!!!!

Katie – Too funny.. hey, better to be clean than dirty!
December 21st, 2006 at 4:22 pm
I love these Ideas. I saw the ball ice cream thing and wasnt sure about that. I love the ipod tp thing my bf may need that. Also a great number 14 is ” clocky” Google it it is a cool alarm clock
December 21st, 2006 at 5:11 pm
I’ve seen the ice cream ball and thought it looked really neat. Plus, Amazon reviews say it works well. And the home planetarium looks really cool!
Good list!
December 21st, 2006 at 7:18 pm
Very cool gifts. Love the nutcracker.
December 21st, 2006 at 7:20 pm
So do you have tons of time to shop or what? Barry wants an iPod sound system–think he’d go for the bathroom version?
Could you email your current address?
Have a great Christmas!
December 21st, 2006 at 7:57 pm
I thought I had seen all the wacky Star Wars merchandise (like Star Wars nesting dolls… coming your way soon
until now… wow.
I’m sure I can live without the rest of this stuff.
December 22nd, 2006 at 11:52 am
Cool gifts but I still have plenty of time … Christmas is coming here 7th January
Thanks 4 visiting my TT
Cheers from Serbia!

I wonder why the Yoda nutcracker is so much cheaper than Darth.
January 5th, 2007 at 5:31 pm
Mmmm beer warmed by your butt! Sounds great!
