Gifts for Politicos and PatriotsJuly 4, 2008Posted by: Laura S.
For the weekend kickoff: Save your political jabs for your steaks with these Political Party Branding Irons. For the early risers: Fill up the Blue States Mug and watch the red states disappear as the mug heats up. But don't cry in your coffee just yet, there's the Make My Day Mug for red state lovers too! For the mini patriots: Rock the vote and the cradle with the pint-sized Future Voter Patriotic Baby Romper for star spangled babies. For the peacekeepers: To keep political banter at bay and celebrate as citizens, try on the Swing Voters Custom Tee for those who like to support any party. For the roadtrippers: Let the gridlock games begin. Study up on your patriotic trivia with the Secret Lives of Presidents Trivia Card Game. There's plenty of dirty laundry to cross state lines. |
Keep Things KoolJuly 3, 2008Posted by: Megan H.
Whether you're hitting the beach, a parade or roadside fireworks this Fourth of July, you can wheel this cooler right along with you. It holds up to 54 12-oz drinks and has a 33-liter capacity so you can beat the heat no matter how large your party. It will even keep its cool after hours of traffic with a 12-volt adapter that plugs right into your car. |
Eco-Friendly Beach BummingJuly 1, 2008Posted by: Dan T. Summer weekends are all about hanging out and relaxing. While it's never really hard to kick back (at least not for me…), this Personalized Cape Cod Folding Beach Chair can be a big help. Whether you're beach bound, at the pool or just in your own backyard for the Fourth, this lightweight seat will take your summer chill to new places.
It's made with heavy-duty canvas to resist fading, mildew, and rain (i.e.- you'll have it for more than one season) and weather resistant eucalyptus that's harvested from eco-friendly sources (nothing wrong with that). Best of all, the chair can be embroidered with your (or the recipient's name or initials) on it. So it will be oh-so-easy to reclaim it once you get back from taking a dip. Unquestionably ideal for the celebration of independence.
Personalized Cape Cod Folding Beach Chair starting at $149.95 |
Cheers to Your GroomsmenJune 24, 2008Posted by: Dan T.
This set of four glasses comes with a hand-etched single initial monogram, giving it that personal touch. Choose either double old-fashioned glasses or tall beer mugs depending on their drink of choice: beer loving buddy gets the mugs and scotch-connoisseur pal gets the tumblers. It's a great way to thank them for that all-out bachelor party they threw you. |
Dad’s Been Doing the BBQingJune 5, 2008Posted by: Dan T.

Picnic in StyleMay 29, 2008Posted by: Gillian J.
With four china plates, four goblets, cloth napkins and a tablecloth, two insulated bags (one for wine and one for cheese and fruit), and a stainless steel service set for four, the picnic wine basket has all the trappings for a perfect day in the park with close friends or loved ones. A perfect anniversary or birthday gift! |
Home Run Hit for Father’s DayMay 27, 2008Posted by: Dan T.
This 28" long beech wood bat is not only a unique gift idea, it's practical too. No more singed knuckles from getting them too close to the grill. Also, the bat can be brandished in a menacing fashion if anyone gets too close to your steaks before they're done! I love this one for Dad for Father's Day, but it's certainly an ideal gift for any baseball fan who plans to be chillin' and grillin' this summer. |
Grill Master FlexMay 13, 2008Posted by: Dan T.
With the ability to monitor eight types of meat (from beef to veal) to four levels of doneness (rare to well done), this handy gadget takes the guesswork out of grilling. Not to mention you can walk up to 330 feet away without worrying if you've charred your chicken. It makes a pretty sweet Father's Day gift, especially if dear old Dad is a barbecue king. |

Mom’s Mug Full of LoveMay 6, 2008Posted by: Gillian J.
More than 300 actors, musicians, artists and designers have donated their time to create these small symbols of hope, with each mug raising money for the celeb's chosen charity. Like style maven Donna Karan and her Love Forever Mug. The white china cup features Karan's pink self-portrait and a Love Forever print, with proceeds going to Spirituality for Kids. I think this one makes a lovely Mother's Day gift, but with so many to choose from, you can easily give according to the cause that suits your friend or loved one best. And isn't giving back what it's all about? |
