Very Clever Gifts

Hammacher Schlemmer is Top Dog - what a great gift idea Our neighbors had a really cool gadget at their last dinner party: A Pop-Up Hotdog Cooker The Pop-Up Hotdog Cooker works like a pop-up toaster. This unique kitchen appliance lets you easily prepare two hot dogs (complete with toasted buns) in minutes and makes a unique gift. To use, simply drop two wieners in the center basket and the buns in the two toasting baskets on either side. The 660-watt electronic heating coil has four controllable heat settings so that you can cook the wieners and toast both buns to your taste preference. The kids will love it; so will dad.

The Custom Wine Source. This clever Web site customizes wine labels for any occasion: Anniversaries, Birthdays, Graduations, Housewarming Parties, Retirement Parties, or Weddings. They make fun gifts. I selected a tasteful label, personalized it with my company’s logo and information, and selected Mini Champagne Bottles. The customized bottles were the talk of our annual company gala. We distributed them to our vendors in appreciation for their business. They make perfect keepsakes and a great corporate gift. And…one of the guests at our party gave out wine at her wedding with their picture on it. Many other labels and styles from which to choose. Click above to examine the collection. They are tres cool!
