Know someone who is really into music, spoken word, podcasts or audiobooks? If you do, and that person has an iPod, you’ve got a pretty easy combination for a gift: get them something to help them listen to their iPod in their car. Seriously — it’s like peanut butter meeting up with jelly. If you know a certain teenager who has earned their driver’s license, this would make a great gift as well.

Oh dear, my back has been killing me lately. Too much sitting and not enough of my normal work out routines….what I would really like is about 15 minutes hanging upside just to loosen up my back.

Father’s day is around the corner. And while it’s not politically correct these days to promote smoking (and as an ex-smoker – I don’t promote it), let’s face it some still smoke. And for those cigar smokers having a really nice humidor is a thing of joy.

The other day my kids and I planted a window garden. We purchased some seeds with the idea of learning about plants and how they grow. As many of you know I am an avid gardener, but I live in a rental home in Southern California. My current home has only a few beds in the back yard and the rest of the yard is beautiful concrete. The backyard is very nice, but not at all conducive to the kind of gardening I would like to do. I love both flowers and vegetable gardens, but I miss my herbs the most.

This is an All-in-one Rechargeable Power Source/Radio/Light for when those times when the lights go out. I lived a lot of years in the tornado alley in the Midwest and then moved to hurricane central in Florida for a couple of years and now I live in earthquake prove Southern California. I remember many times when the lights would go and we would scramble for the candles and matches, which we always had set aside for just such occasions. I have discovered the value of being prepared. So if you are looking to give a gift to someone who loved to be prepared for those times when the lights go out, take a good look at this Storm Station. It is a great help to have some light and power to assist with those little appliances that require electricity (like a cell phone charger). This unit has a detachable and rechargeable flashlight, an integral room light that illuminates the immediate area, a 25 watt power sources to operate low wattage devices, an AM/FM/TV Audio/Weather-Band Radio. And best of all, when the lights go out, if the Storm Station is left plugged into an electrical socket, the built-in locator light will automatically turn on and assist you in finding the unit. This great gift of a Black & Decker Storm Station is $99 at Amazon.

Do you know a man who’s a little punk rock but still fairly traditional? Not in that tie-sporting, oxford shirt and khaki sort of way, but in the Caber-tossing, stout drinking sense of things. A real man who’s not afraid to don a kilt to watch a soccer match or listen to some Social Distortion. If so, an AmeriKilt may be right up his alley.
