Being home today and kinda stuck watching morning talk programing, I've been able to get some really cool gift ideas. I thought I'd share. Please share yours too.



QuoteHere at ThinkGeek were just wishing for a fully playable guitar built into a t-shirt when along came the Pixie of ROCK... she wailed with face melting guitar solo and *POOF* there it was in our hands... The Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt. We turned on the mini amp, cranked the volume to 11 and started to rock

Good luck with Amazon and their shipping crap. I ordered some books as XMAS gifts for my wife, and they still are not here, and I am told will not be here before XMAS!  :rant: Despite all three of them being in stock at the time of the order.

In fact, I ordered a book that a friend recommended to me at the start of December, it was in stock, and it still isn't here either!  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Okay, here's an idea for yah.

Ever notice how your knives are so dull you'd be lucky to be able to produce a paper cut with one of them? Used to be I'd get out a butter knife before I'd reach for the cutlery! Until I found one of these babies. Now I fear using my knives they are so sharp!

On sale for about 20 bucks, get one of these systems and you'll be able to sharpen up those knives yourself in just a couple of minutes.

I've got a similar system, but it is able to sharpen a lot of different style blades, including axes and mower blades. While I still hack at it with a whetstone from time to time, this system allows me to get the job done in a hurry and move on to more important stuff!

Get one and you'll never regret it!

and maybe one of these to go with it.



I don't know, women are just so hard to shop for. :wink:

Absolutely.  I don't care how much I need home 'supplies'.....don't freaking buy them for me at Christmas, my birthday or on Valentines day.   I'm not going to be very grateful.   I have video around here somewhere of Christmas 1988, proves the point very well!!!

LOL, if my damn hard drive wasn't locked up, I would gladly post a piece of that video.  I am pretty sure I copied it to the hard drive. But if I didn't...I probably should, it won't last forever on that VHS tape.

I got one of those sporty little cordless vacs a few years ago, and I am completely spoiled. I mean, the damn thing is even an automatic! But the acceleration is acceptable, and the climate control is lush. (I got the canopy, too.)
