Novelty Gifts


So while browsing around for that outstanding, original, one of a kind gift that would make me the ultimate creative gift-giver of all time (or at least until the next birthday rolled around) I thought  - hey! Why not blog about it? And while surfing the world wide web of gift shops I came to the realization, Christmas is not too far away, so am now browsing for that too.
So here are a few of my gift choice ideas I have found to be of good cheer
for you to browse ......
The Inkless Metal Beta Pen
office gear at vat19 curiously awesome gifts

- No smudges, no leaking, and never needs a refill - 
The Inkless Metal Beta Pen features a special metal alloy tip. As you write, tiny amounts of this metal are deposited onto the page. The silvery markings may resemble pencil, but they are permanent and smudge-proof. Because it doesn't require sharpening or refills, the Inkless Metal Pen is an amazing gift for artists or doodlers. Its "ink" is solid, so it will never leak, and it can be used upside down or under extreme conditions. The Inkless Metal Pen works on most any writing surface and is available in two styles: standard and keychain. The standard version is available with an anodized aluminum barrel (in silver or black) or a cherry wood barrel. The keychain version features a stainless steel barrel with screw-on cap, a keyring, and a metal gift tin.

Choose your style
The Inkless Metal Pen is available in a standard "stylus" configuration and in a new keychain edition!
The standard edition is available with a cherry wood or anodized aluminum barrel. The aluminum barrel is sold in silver and black.
The keychain edition features a stainless steel barrel and screw-on cap to better handle the rigors of life on a keyring. A keyring is also included.
All styles of the Inkless Metal Pen write in the same silver color.

Manufactured from a hi-tech material which is waterproof and tear-proof and can be written on. The Undercover Laptop Case is thoroughly padded, to protect your laptop, but what you may not expect is the luxury inside lining in stark contrast to the utilitarian exterior.

WOODLANDS DIORAMA MOVING PICTURE
at Perpetual Kid
When the room is quiet and still, the forest animals will slowly emerge from behind the trees and bushes.  Watch as the squirrel, deer, rabbit, coyote and black bird all come out to play!  But be warned!  These animals, just like in a real woodland environment, are very skiddish!  The slightest movement will make them jump back into their hiding spots in the forest.

HANDBLOWN GLASS FISH STRAWS

 


Drink Like a Fish Here's a real fish story for you: there's a wide-eyed surprise waiting for you at the bottom of these hand blown glass drinking straws. A grinning little guppy!

Full of bright color and detail, these big-mouthed beauties funnel in the soda or juice as you sip. Made from hand blown borosilicate glass, they are safe to use with both hot and cold beverages. And unlike a regular drinking straw that are often thrown out after one use, these can be enjoyed again and again, instead of flooding our landfills. Simply wash clean with soap and water or give the inside of the tube a little scrub with a pipe cleaner for tougher cleaning jobs. The straws can be washed by hand or dishwasher. With just one sip, everyone will find themselves hooked!

 

    

Found the ideal Engagement Gifts, am soooo pleased I stumbled upon them

 

 Bride & Groom Crystallized Swarovski Flute Set 

Classic and elegant. 

The Bride features scalloped-neck dress permanently frosted onto the glass and beautifully set off by sparkling necklace of Swarovski crystals. 

The Groom an Armani-inspired tux (also permanently frosted onto the glass) sports a classy bow tie made of glass beads.

 These toasting glasses are the perfect engagement or wedding gift for that special couple. 

And, since the design is permanently etched into the glass, it won't wash off.  

and I stumbled upon companion glassware 
for the  Asta Glass


   

Charms include: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto, Pocahontas, Daisy Duck, Dalmatian Pup #101, Jasmine, Mrs. Potts and Chip, Nemo, Belle, Alice in Wonderland, Bambi, Pinocchio, Simba, Cinderella, Mulan, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Snow White, Sneezy, Bashful, Ariel, Dopey, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Tinker Bell, Owl, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga and Roo, and Winnie the Pooh


This bracelet is just gorgeous. My mother purchased this beauty earlier this year for my teen daughter, who's a Disney nut - and she loves it! And so do I. It looks beautiful on her wrist. The charms are very cute, and considering the size, the paintwork is outstanding. The gold is brighter than expected, which is actually a good thing. This is a decorative bracelet that should be worn on special occasions; it's a little too heavy for everyday use. All in all, it is an awesome gift and keepsake.









 


"For My Firefighter" Men's Chronograph Watch
Handcrafted in stainless steel, this fireman's watch features a bold bracelet style in silver and gold-tone finish. Within the striking golden bezel, the fire red watch face stands out with a golden Maltese cross, a date window and three sub-dials for seconds, minutes and hours. A Maltese cross and an uplifting firefighter saying from the "For My Firefighter" poem is engraved on the reverse side of the watch, while "Duty & Courage" is engraved on the side.


Firefighters make the ultimate sacrifice - risking their own lives to save others. Now, show this person of courage and commitment how much he is appreciated with this engraved firefighter watch for men, arriving in a custom presentation case and special "For My Firefighter" sentiment card.

It's great in the kitchen - just rub the stainless steel marvel in your hands under cold water, and odors like onion and garlic disappear. Even better, it never wears out, and no additional cleaning is necessary. Black plastic soap dish included. Made in Germany.

 

Be it a wedding gift or something for an engagement or house-warming - if you show up with this little piece of kitchen genius under your arm, you can rest assured that they'll think of you fondly everyday for evermore. The Stainless Steel Index Chopping Board does something we've all thought about doing but never quite get around to.

We all know that food handling hygiene is super-important, particularly if you ever want your dinner guests back (or alive for that matter). It should be easy - don't chop the salad where you've been cutting up the raw chicken etc. But in the heat of the culinary moment, when you're racing to julienne your carrots and tenderise the t-bone - things can get a little confusing. Not with the Stainless Steel Index Chopping Board!

Imagine someone crossing Jamie Oliver with an accountant - The Stainless Steel Index Chopping Board would be the result! It gives you clerical precision in the kitchen, with four separate chopping boards neatly filed away in their sleek silver "cabinet". Colour-coded and tabbed for easy identification and extraction!

 


This extraordinary dish is sure to create a splash at your next dinner. The polished aluminum bowl takes the familiar form of a rowboat, complete with "wooden" planks cast along its hull. The boats oars are a pair of serving tools, carved from sheesham, a variety of rosewood which is renowned for its intricate, marbled grain. Whether you're serving salad, holding fruit, or simply putting it on display, this bowl is sure to make waves. 


Red Rose Stacking Bowls Serving Set at Plastic Land
 These adorable stacking bowls are made of durable red melamine molded to look like the different petals of a gorgeous blooming rose! So unique! Perfect for serving different components of a meal, or set them out buffet style - when not in use you can leave them stacked on the counter as an accent to your decor ♥

How cute is this ..... tent!


I stumbled upon this by some accident, and thought my brother would get a little chuckle. Little did I know, his response would be ... I WANT IT.  So guess what he is getting for Christmas/birthday ... his own VW tent! Even my daughter shrieked with excitement! (But she's a teenager; it's probably an in-built reaction.) You'll never have to worry about losing your tent in the park again! What will they think of next?



 

Officially licensed, this stunning four-man (or lady, lol) tent is a deluxe, full-size replica of the iconic 1965 VW Camper Van synonymous with 60s counterculture. It’s so evocative you can almost hear the Mamas and the Papas singing California Dreamin’ every time you feast your eyes on its beautifully breadloaf-ish form. Indeed we half expected Mama Cass to tumble out when we first saw this groovy Vee-Dub. You’ll be the envy of the campsite!

Factor in two zip-separated double-size rooms, allowing couples to sleep/knit yoghurt/spread the love in private, plus an outer that can be put up first to offer some shelter as you erect the other bits and bobs, and you’re looking at the greatest thing to hit the world of boho living since… well, since the original VW Camper Van. All together now, ‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to take your Vee-Dub Camper Tent…


A Quick Spin... VW Camper Van Tent



After watching this vid, my thoughts immediately went to ...... brother, booze, camping ........ and his traveling play tent. I'm hoping to have some great stories to share when he comes back from his next camping trip!



And in continuing with the outdoor theme ....
what about some fun wet water style sports toys 




Get ready to spin, twist, and rotate your way through the boat's wake on the Sevylor Orbit Spinning Towable, an innovative new ride from the leader in inflatable water devices.





Two-person inflatable towable with unique swivel harness that lets riders spin in circles while being towed behind the boat








tons of fun to be had


Take this cooler on a camping trip with a lazy river or have it floating in the backyard pool or for those fun pool parties.










Pool N' Beach Cabana Lounge


offers luxurious comfort seating and an adjustable/removable shade canopy with air vents. This lounge is ideal for the beach, pool, lake and land! Double you fun with the Pool-N-Beach and take your lounge-time anywhere! The Pool-N-Beach Lounge even comes with an LP1 Double Action Hand Pump for easy inflation wherever you decide to lounge.








Need A Hand?
Go 20,000 leagues under the shower with this friendly squid, equipped with nine, adjustable tentacles for gripping your shampoo, soap and washing extras, without disappearing into the bathroom void! Wildly convenient, this functional creature even holds your bottles upside down, so you conquer every last drop,

 
















Do-it-yourselfers can tackle that list of fix-it chores AND pack some heat!
























Designed to look like a giant piece of file paper complete with printed lines, holes and red margins on both sides, doodle duvet comes with its own set of 8 wash-out color pens. Which means that you can jot down late-night thoughts, draw a masterpiece, write a story or leave a message – then wash your duvet cover for a totally fresh start all over again...endlessly!










and if really stuck for a gift ....  or wanting to surprise a loved one away from home  - a gift card is the ideal way to go.
