January Birthdays

I’m sure some of you find yourselves in the same boat as me with loved ones or friends with January birthdays. After the crush of Christmas gifts what could you possibly still find for them right? Well, here are a couple of fun ideas that I stumbled upon recently. Maybe they will help you get your shopping done. ~Susan

 

Yoga Joes

Need something for your guy? The story for these toys is that two friends were joking about ways to make yoga more macho. Whether your guy is ex-military, needs to find some inner peace, or would just appreciate the throwback gimmick; the 3 inch tall toys are plain ole fun. If the greenies are “too macho” you can also purchase them in bright pink.  A set of nine is $25.  Source: Yoga Joes

Foodie Dice

If you are like me, your daily question of  “What should we have for dinner?” is met with lots of “I don’t care”s or ambivalent shrugs. Well, this little product makes a game out of this constant question. Just shake the tumbler and see what you roll. The wooden dice inside have a mix of protein, vegggies, cooking methods and also surprise ingredients pop up. With some 186,000 combinations possible, you shouldn’t have to ask that dreaded question for a long time!! The product can be purchased for around $38. They also have a Mixology version for those looking for more adventure with their libations. Source: Foodie Dice

Know someone who loves chocolate and champagne? Of course you do!! Well, here is a luxurious treat to combine these two favorites. Charbennel et Walker, one of Britain’s oldest chocolatiers, have created these treats by cradling a creamy center of Champagne brandy and milk chocolate with a dusted white chocolate shell.  You can indulge your sweetie with these sweets for $28.  Source: Sur la table

Kids’ Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt

This cool shirt is actually a wearable guitar! Each button on the neck is a major chord so just turn on the mini amp and rock out!  There are no pre-canned songs here–you make the music yourself. All the major chords are recorded from a real electric guitar so the sounds are right on. The mini amp can be clipped to your belt and puts out plenty of sound. You can play with the amp to adjust the sound just like a real guitar. Sorry to all the older Rock Gods out there but sizes don’t run too large so unless you are still built like a teenager, you might be out of luck. These shirts are currently out of stock but be sure to bookmark the page to get your order in once they are available again. Source: Think Geek
