Hello! I am looking for websites or companies that offer unique gifts
that can be delivered to the recipient. I want to send my boyfriend
something cool and I want it delivered to his work, but I don%26#039;t want
to go with an old standard like flowers. I sent him Mrs Fields cookies
once, and he liked that, but he%26#039;s trying to be more health-conscious
these days so cookies probably wouldn%26#039;t fly a second time. Can you
give me some specific ideas as to creative and unique gifts that are
offered through a gift delivery service? I am not interested in most
of the %26quot;Just For Him%26quot; gift baskets that I%26#039;ve seen online - things like
cologne or beers of the world or anything like that, I think it would
just be too cheesy. (Plus he doesn%26#039;t drink)… in short, something
more off-the-wall that would catch him by surprise, but pleasantly
surprised! He loves music - listening to it, recording it, playing it
(he plays guitar) so if there was a company or website that does
I need unique gift delivery ideas for my boyfriend?
www.pajamagram.com It%26#039;s realy cool %26amp; unique!
Reply:Sorry cant really help but how about giving him something like clothing that goes with his style, and personality. Or how about a trip somewhere where there is music history or somewhere he%26#039;s always dreamed of going.
Reply:Here are a few ideas that you%26#039;ll both enjoy - him getting them, you creating them.
1) CafePress.com - open your own account and design things for him.
Http://www.cafepress.com
You can design graphics, or upload pictures and put them on teddy bears,(imagine a commemorative teddy bear for each special occasion?) t-shirts, mugs, posters, etc.
These are all the things you can customize:

Incidentally, they include books and CDs, if you have the
copyright to the material.
2) Music and story-telling - go to Celestial Navigations
http://www.celestialnavigations.com
Pick up any of the CDs and send it to him. Then arrange to
spend an evening with him, with the lights turned low, or
in candlelight, listening to Geoffrey Lewis weave his tales.
A wonderful way to spark his imagination and to create a
romantic evening.
I saw them in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget years ago,
and the experience still haunts me - in a happy way.
3) Of course, there%26#039;s always Amazon.com - you can get his
favorite books, music, software, videos, even toys and lots
of other things from there. Remember, they DO deliver - and
on orders of $25 or more, 2-day delivery is free.
4) Have you ever visited AllPosters.com?
Http://allposters.com
Wow! You can find pictures for any passion - framed or unframed. They have some really great values when they have sales - and something interesting is always on sale. (I once got my boyfriend this poster of a wealthy man, standing next to his Rolls Royce in front of the unemployment office…20+ years later, it%26#039;s still in his home.)
You may be able to get away with less than $25 including shipping.
5) You said he likes books on tape. Well, BooksOnTape delivers
http://booksontape.com
You may either buy or rent the books. Renting isn%26#039;t so bad,
since you may keep the books for about a month. Then ship them back in their own container at no additional cost. Only, make sure he knows they%26#039;re rented… Also, they have really good deals when they have sales.
6)You didn%26#039;t mention if he likes animals? But if he does, here%26#039;s a way to enjoy them without having to clean up after them - The Animal Den - http://www.animalden.com
They have all kinds of gift items with gorgeous animal pictures on them. You can order things for many breeds of many animals.
7) Campy things, and things you don%26#039;t expect - drop by Classic Closeouts
http://classiccloseouts.com
They have collectibles, like Star Trek pins, or designer clothing, or household things - you never know what. Just for the fun of it.
8) Give him a Club Pogo membership
http://www.pogo.com
You can play online together, without being interrupted by ads, and you can chat while you%26#039;re playing. You might (long shot) even win some money prizes. And their software doesn%26#039;t mess up your computer.
9) Get him an Entertainment book for his town, or yours.
Http://entertainment.com/
Not only will you get discounts (even movie theaters), but it can be an awful lot of fun using the book to explore your own area. Aside from restaurants, there are discounts to live theaters, concerts, amusement venues, bowling alleys, all kinds of places you didn%26#039;t even know existed around you.
Oh yes, you can also get 50% off hotels and other travel discounts.
10) If you want an assortment of interesting, often unusual, and expensive items, visit the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue.
Http://www.hammacher.com/
It%26#039;s such fun! And you%26#039;ll usually find something within your price range.
11) Does he like puzzles? You%26#039;re going to love Bits and Pieces!
Http://www.bitsandpieces.com/
They have THE most beautiful and fun jigsaw puzzles, and 3-d puzzles and other interesting curiosities. Most of them are well within your budget. In fact, you can often get several things for that price.
Oh yes, and they have a mystery puzzle, where you can win $1,000 for solving the mystery. Always a fun challenge.
12) For those times when you%26#039;re feeling silly, there%26#039;s Prank Place
www.PrankPlace.com
Granted, there%26#039;s a lot of stuff in bad taste. Ignore those things.
They also have a lot of cute and fun things. For instance, I found a whole raft of things relating to money gags for my readers.
They have magic tricks, fake parking tickets, remote controlled mice, etc.
13) And speaking of magic…what boy doesn%26#039;t love magic tricks?
