Very Clever Gifts

100% Authentic……..Made from the seats of demolished stadiums Have you read about the baseball fans that spent their vacations visiting ballparks throughout the country? Of course some exist only in memory now. Even though fans can’t sit in the cheap seats at Ebbets Field or The Polo Grounds they can own a piece of them with the Ballpark Pen with pens made of the wooden seats from the demolished stadiums. What unique gifts they make! They are laser engraved with the stadium’s name and years of existence. If a pen isn’t your style you can find a Ballpark Bottle Opener or Ballpark Corkscrew made of wooden seats from Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, or Dodger Stadium. What a great birthday present and/or sports gift for that very special man or woman as an anniversary gift, graduation gift or Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift.

What do your friends and family love? My teenager loves Coca-Cola—she drinks Coca-Cola, wears Coca-Cola t-shirts and just loves those little polar bears drinking it on the holiday ads. One thing she doesn’t have is Coca-Cola stock. But she could! The company called OneShare.com sells, well, duh, one share of stock in various popular companies. You get a fancy legal stock certificate to hang on your wall and the company’s annual report that, along with all the company’s financial info, usually has some great artwork and photos starring the company products. OK, one share may not make you rich, although you will receive corporate declared dividends and have voting rights, but it a great addition to a collector’s memorabilia—whether they love Disney, Harley-Davidson, Campbell Soup, or a host of other companies. Check them all out. What a unique, personalized Baby Gift too. You can have it framed and inscribed: My First Stock. Watch them both grow!

We’ve all heard the arguments: cell phones are great for an emergency whether it be medical problems, a flat tire, or even just forgetting the directions to the restaurant. But that mean nothing if you can’t remember how to operate your phone. It may seem laughable to younger generations but to many older folks a combination of diminishing hearing and eyesight, familiarity with “full size” phones and forgetfulness renders cell phones with their tiny buttons, endless choices, and multiple uses impossible to master.

Jitterbug OneTouch Cell Phone The Jitterbug OneTouch Cell Phone gives you just what need—and only what you need—with three buttons. The buttons are 911, My Choice (your most popular phone number), and Operator (a live operator that can hook you up with numbers such as tow-truck services or look up a person’s number for you). You can also store the numbers of ten friends and family to scroll through and call. What a great gift for grandpa, grandma and older relatives!

My niece Maggie’s first birthday is just around the corner. The My Very Own Name Gift Set combines my favorite things: children’s books with Maggie’s favorite things: animals. This PERSONALIZED BOOK tells a story of animals that incorporates your child’s name into the story. She also gets a plush froggy and a t-shirt with her initial and an animal illustration on it. These are unique baby gifts for lots of occasions: bringing baby home from the hospital, first day of school, birthdays.

Little girls can also enjoy a tale full of fairies, princesses, and of course their name in My Very Own Fairy Tale.

Have you ever tried to get a jock to stop using your home for a practice field? Footballs tossed through the living room, basketballs bouncing of the walls, and soccer balls kicked down the stairs? Well, you might just get them to leave the soccer ball outside with the help of Kickin’ Video Soccer. This game uses a play mat and a TV where players can watch their moves on the screen. No ball! Players can practice their kicking, play one man or two man soccer. And unlike most video games they get a little exercise. This game can challenge children of all ages and skill levels from age 6.
