MUGI – My Unique Gift Idea

Share.. The modern obsession with building fuel efficient cars notwithstanding, I thought I’d take some time to pedal an entirely different sort of vehicle. That is, the ceramic one. The advantages of a ceramic car? For one, it doesn’t need any gasoline, it’s a lot smaller, and it doesn’t require any maintenance. You can’t say [...]

Share..Here’s a gift for that do-it-yourself friend of yours. It’s, quite simply, a food dehydrator. Use it to make jerky, trail mix, dried fruit snacks, even potpourri by sticking a few flowers in it. It’s powered by a 240 watt engine, low-medium-high settings, and is pretty much idiot proof. Get this though: it comes with [...]

Share..Here’s a good one for your friends and family. Instead of buying battery after battery and then throwing them out, you can get batteries basically for free. Rechargeable batteries, and you still have to pay for the electricity to charge them up. Granted, it’s pretty cheap, but it isn’t free. So instead, get a solar [...]

Share..It’s only six bucks, but it’ll make the one you give it to feel sophisticated and appreciative. No, it’s not a monocle, though that would be cool indeed. It’s a wine pourer/stopper. The thing about the wine bottle that’s just a bit weird is that ever since they were invented, nobody’s figured out a way [...]

Share..Check this out. Embedded video from CNN Video Rapper Ludacris, less known by his actual name, which is Chris Bridges, is really going above and beyond the call of duty here. He recently teamed up with a car dealer to launch an essay contest where the prize would be…a new car! The contestants had to [...]

Share..What do you do when you have a broom and it gets all grimy and disgusting form all the dirt and dust and sludge that you’re sweeping around everywhere? You can’t clean up the broom because it’s made out of straw. You can’t replace the bristles, because then you might as well buy another broom. [...]

Share..There was something special about Patrick Swayze, and I’m not just saying that out of some sentimental rush to put a knot in your throat. I say it seriously, because, along with Tom Hanks and other very few selected Hollywood personalities, he actually had a private life, a stable marriage to his wife Lisa, who [...]

Share..You saw her on Baywatch, and then hopefully not on that national embarrassment of a video on a boat that I will not speak of. Now, you can see her on a PETA sponsored commercial against leather and fur coats! Wait, no, you can’t, because it was banned by CNN for being too raunchy. Well, [...]

Share..You have to hand it to the guy. He has probably the most hostile profession imaginable to the prospects of marriage, and yet, he still managed to stay married for an entire decade. I commend him. He beat Brittney Spears at least, and many of my own cousins actually. I’ve only been married for a [...]

Share..This guy is serious about beef. I mean, look at him! If you’re on a dining vacation in Italy, you should go check him out. He’ll lop off a steak for you with his cleaver, present it to you on butcher paper before he cooks it, quote a price, and stick it in a fiery [...]

Share..Some guys are just lucky. They go to some concert, smush into one of the front rows where the rock star or rock startette seems able and willing to discard some piece of clothing – sunglasses, a sock, maybe even a jockstrap, a guitar pick (try to find that sort of thing – maybe the [...]

Share..On the third floor of Atlanta’s Marriott Marquis hotel this past Saturday, sat the captain of the USS 1701-D, Jean-Luc Picard (and then E, of course, after the D was destroyed by Klingons in Star Trek Generations). Of course, as a fictional character, it was actually Patrick Stewart who was sitting in the chair. The [...]

Share..The combination of a country rich beyond imagination from the black milk set in the earth’s crust with a need for manpower to run the oil-driven economy spells huge economic opportunity, and that’s what retailers are taking advantage of in Dubai, of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai has actually made it to the list of [...]

Share..I guess this is sort of a case of “if you can’t beat’em, join’em. Scared of swine flu, unable to protect yourself, and too cautious to get those flu shots that might actually make you sick from the flu in the firist place? We understand perfectly. So if you want to alleviate some stress about [...]

Share..Trinkets and objects and cool gadgets and jewelry of course have their place, but when there’s a significant occasion in your friend’s life, he or she probably needs something more practical that will take some of the stress and edge off. Usually, a birth of a baby, a passing of a relative, a baby shower, [...]
