More "Perfect" Gift Ideas for Guys

Continuing with our theme this week we found some more "perfect" gift ideas for guys.

The Pull My Finger Santa Animated Doll because everyone knows how guys think this bodily function is hilarious.

"I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" Plaque , this isn't what you think. The rest of the plaque says "Yesterday you really pissed me off."

Talking Mother-In-Law Nutcracker, you just don't want them to forget that you have a mother and your not afraid to use her.

Thanks Anne and Patti for the ideas. You really made this weeks posting fun.

An Educational Gift Idea

My last 2 post have been gift ideas that are kind of knocking guys and this one is too. I just want everyone to know that we have nothing against guys. I just know, first hand, the reality of how some of them can behave. You have to admit, the twist we have put on these gift ideas is funny, very much true, but still funny.

With that said, here is Anne's latest find. She said, "This was put on for kids, but I think it would be a fine gift for many husbands out there..."

The I Can Set The Table Placemat , from One Step Ahead.

By the way, today is "Ask a Stupid Question Day". Today you are allowed to ask all those questions that you've been holding back on because you were afraid they would make you look stupid. So for today, give blondes a break. Just think of all the new blonde jokes that you'll have to tell tomorrow.

The "Perfect" Boyfriend Gift Idea

Okay so this won't seem like a real "gifty" gift but it's something that I am sure many bachelors would appreciate. Well maybe the guys won't actually appreciate it, but the girlfriends who have to use their bathrooms will.

It's the Never Scrub Toilet System from Taylor Gifts. It's a self-cleaning toilet system that keeps the bowl sparkling clean even under the rim. It releases a measured amount of organic cleaner every time you flush.

So girls if you have one of those boyfriends who doesn't see the pink and black stuff that grows in the toilet as offensive and disgusting then this is the perfect gift for him (and you).

Girlfriends and Wives Gift Ideas for Football Season

With football season under way and Sundays are pretty much dedicated to watching it, now would be a good time to get your wife or girlfriend a gift.

Choose your gift wisely keeping these facts in mind.
  • For the next 6 months Sunday's will be dedicated to the TV (and possibly Mondays too)
  • Your buddies will be around more often
  • You will become a yelling and screaming fool
  • Drinks will be spilled, food will be thrown
  • All communications not related to football must be done when there's not a game or sports show talking about the games currently airing. (In other words, there will be minimal communications)

And to help you find the perfect gift try this...For wives...For Girlfriends

Now if you are lucky enough to have a wife or girlfriend that is into football like you are click here to see football themed thank you gift ideas.

Helping a Man Keep Track of Time

Do you know a man who spends more time in front of the mirror in the morning than you do? Does he seem to lose track of time because he's so focused on how he looks?

I know, some of you are saying, "This girl has lost her mind, guys don't do that!". Well I beg to differ. I know a few guys who take longer than I do to get ready to go out.

Anyway, here's a gift idea that can help them keep track of time and help them look their best.

The Superior Rotary Shaver - This rotary shaver has 50% more shaving surface than other models, providing a faster, cleaner, smoother shave. 3 different comfort settings. Built-in LCD readout is an alarm clock with buzzer. Can be used corded or cordless.

So if you know a man who's attention to their appearance frequently makes them late. Try getting them this shaver. It may help.

Thanks to Beth for sharing this gift idea.

More Pet Gift Ideas

Sorry, I just can't help it. They have got some of the cutest gift ideas for pets.

Take a look at this, Claudia's Canine Cuisine Cookie Tubs .

I got some of these for Emma a couple of weeks ago and I keep them on the kitchen counter. Knowing people are always coming in and out of my house I put a note on the cookies saying they are Emma's cookies not people cookies. I am telling you that is how real they look and smell. I could just see one of my husbands or sons friends looking for munchies and chowing down on Emma's cookies.

June sent me an email the other day asking if Emma had one of these...Pet Tent. Since I don't "do the woods", neither does my baby, so no, she doesn't have one. Although she might like the tent to hide when all those loud boys come over to watch football. Hmmmm, I'll just add this to my bookmarks for Emma gift ideas.

Two Unique Occasions to Give a Gift

The first is, Elephant Appreciation Day on September 22 and here's some gift ideas for the elephant admirer that you know...

If you are an Elephant admirer you might want to visit the elephants at the zoo. Take a pumpkin with you because according to pumkinnook.com, they are a big treat for elephants.

Today is National Video Games Day

So for all you gamers out there, here's a day just for you.

Like you really need a day to recognize video games. Isn't that what gamers eat and breathe? Their video games? I bet many sleep with them too. Or should I say, stay up all night with?

My sincerest condolences go out to those of you who live with a gamer. You see, I used to live with one, my son. I know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night startled by weird noises and voices and come to find out it someone playing a video game at 3 in the morning.

Ok and now they say that all that game playing helps them in other ways. Well that's just fine and dandy but it shortened my life by a few years for lack of sleep and fighting to get him off those games.

AAAuuuggghh!

(No, I don't have issues.)

Anyway, here's some video games stuff and Happy Video Games Day!

A Real Gem of an Idea

You've heard of diamonds being called ice before but have you seen them the other way around?

The Cool Jewels Ice Cube Tray, from Signals.com makes jewel shaped ice cubes. A great conversation piece for your next party.

Just a side note for you guys that just had a lightbulb go off in your head thinking this would be a good gag gift for your girlfriend or wife. Beware that they would probably only think it was funny if it was immediately followed by the real thing.

Ladies, do you agree?

Also, today is Fight Procrastination Day, a day to take care of something you have been putting off. Do you procrastinate about your holiday gift shopping? Maybe start your gift giving plan.

Be a Beer Keg for Halloween

This would definitely make you the most popular person at the party. A beer keg costume that actually dispenses beer. No really, it's a working keg!

Adult Beer Keg Costume

I find it humorous that they put adult in the title. Like anybody would actually put this outfit on their child. Or would they? Thinking about it I guess I wouldn't put it past someone to do it.
