Funny and Novelty Valentine’s Gift Ideas. Add Some Fun to Your Valentine's Day

When we think of valentine's gifts we tend to think of romantic dinners, flowers, chocolates and gifts of love and so forth. If you have showered your partner with these gifts every year, why not be different this year and give him or her something unexpected and funny which is sure to make them laugh and remember for many years to come. The gifts I would like to recommend are inexpensive and can be enjoyed by both men and women.

Valentine's Day Love-O-Meter
This is a fun little gadget that both you and your partner can have fun playing together. Press your fingers on the buttons and the Love-o-meter will dig into the depths of your heart and reveal your feelings. Of course this is no fortune teller, but it is an entertaining gizmo.

Body Pens
If you are planning on a romantic dinner, why not have some 'desert' with body pens afterwards. The pens come in chocolate and strawberry flavors and are a sensual way to indulge your sweet tooth! Express your love by creating fun messages that are for your partner’s eyes only.

T-Equalizer Shirts
If you plan to celebrate Valentine's Day with some music and dancing, the T-equalizer shirts are a great way to get noticed. Available in both male and female styles, these electro-luminescent design T-shirts have an EQ panel connected to a battery pack and is sound activated.

Candy Bra and Candy G-String
Who would have thought that those delicious necklace sweets that we all used to love as kids would come back to haunt us in the most irresistible way! Your boyfriend or husband will enjoy eating away these childhood favorite candy sweets. The irresistible, edible, candy underwear is the perfect way to end a romantic candlelight dinner.

Personal Newspaper Headlines and Personalized Book Cover
If you want to give something truly personal, this is the perfect gift. There's simply nothing like a personalized gift that says, "This was made just for me." Personal Newspaper Headlines provide exactly that - your own words, unique and personalized, printed by hand onto authentic newsprint on an antique printing press. Your personalized gift newspaper is printed on both sides, filled with fun articles and pictures everyone can enjoy. The idea is to make your personal headline funny. Alternatively, you can create a funny personalized book cover with one of the following 2 titles “Everything I Know About…….” Or “How I Became the World's Greatest…….”
The book cover also includes blank pages which your partner can use as a note book or diary.

Digital Photo Frame and Digital Photo Keyring
These gifts per ser are not considered funny. However, you can make this fun and meaningful by downloading a collection of humorous photos before giving the gift to your partner. This is a great way to cheer your loved up when he or she is having a stressful or bad day at work. A browse through these pictures is enough to make anyone smile.

Toys and Games for Kids - Favorite Gifts of 2007

With 2007 now behind us I thought it would be a great idea to reflect on some of last year’s best selling gifts for children. These gifts were particularly hot during the Christmas season, but I believe they will continue to be favorite gift items for birthdays and special occasions. Here are the top 5 best sellers.

Floating Duck Radio
All kids love rubber ducks or bath toys. This floating duck is no ordinary duck, it is also a radio with two frequencies – AM and FM. The frequencies and channels can be adjusted by twisting the duck’s tail. The radio switches on and off by turning the duck’s head clockwise and anti-clockwise. This is truly an ingenious way to keep your kids entertained in the bath and for the adult to enjoy their favorite radio station at the same time. It is an inexpensive gift with amazing sound quality.

Remote Controlled Bumper Cars
I remember loving these bumper car rides at the amusement park and now you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own home! Imagine all the fun without the knocks and bangs that you would experience behind the wheel. These remote control bumper cars race along a smooth surface. The realistic movements of the cars make crazy turns in an attempt to hit one of their opponent's 3 sensors. Hit all 3 to disable the opponent’s car and win the game.

Sudoku Sudocube
Certain 3D puzzles were extremely popular over the Christmas season. The Sudocube was a best seller. It combines the challenge of the popular sudoku puzzle and the fun of a rubik’s design. The sudocube is not only fun, it is also educational and a great way to stimulate and motivate both kids and adults alike.

Slingshot Flying Monkey and Frog
These relatively inexpensive and fun toys were best sellers all year round. There must be something about screaming monkeys and frogs making croaking noises when hoisted in the air! Whatever the reason, the slingshot flying monkey and frog are absolutely hilarious, fun and a must have. The flying monkey is dressed mysteriously in a cape and mask just like a super hero. Both the frog and monkey can fly and travel 50 feet – just put two fingers in the hand pockets, pull back it’s strong elastic arms and let go.

Gelli Baff
Imported from the UK and currently not available anywhere in the US except at MyRedPacket.com is the award winning Gelli Baff! Kids simply can't get enough of Gelli Baff. Simply run your bath 2 or 3 inches deep, turn off the tap, add Gelli Baff and watch in amazement as your boring bath water magically turns into a fun thick goo!

Best Selling Birthday Gadget Gifts and Novelties for Men

With 2007 now behind us I thought it would be a great idea to reflect on some of last year’s best selling gifts. Many of these will continue to be favorite gift items for birthdays, anniversary and special occasions. Here are the top 5 best sellers.

Finger Drums
These Finger Drums were a big hit among kids and adults alike. Whether you are a drummer, music lover, or musician, you will get the thrill from banging away on this set of miniature but genuinely life-like finger sized drum. The super finger-sensitive tiny drums include large and small tom-tom, bass drum with miniature foot pedal, snare and cymbal, so there's nothing missing. For something as compact as this, the drum like quality is pretty amazing. The Finger Drums make a great birthday gift for the person who simply enjoy a bit of fun and entertainment.



Duck Shooting Gallery
Duck Shooting Gallery is a replica of the beloved carnival game that provides hours of fun for people of all ages. The interactive carnival barker will guide you through the contest. It is fully automated with a conveyor carrying the targets past the cross hairs, accompanying music and sound effects and a wireless infrared pistol. A hit will knock over a duck, and register on the game's LCD display. Each duck down scores you 10 points. Play against the clock to beat your best score in one minute or select continuous play for hours of duck shooting fun. You can choose between fast and slow modes of play which makes it ideal for novices and marksmen alike. The Duck Shoot Game is ideal at social and family gatherings as it will keep your guests entertained for hours!

Racing and Boxing Grannies
These novelty wind up toys continue to amaze and amuse. The Wind Up Grannies are not only hilarious looking they are great fun to play with. Wind them up and watch them race against each other in their match stick legs. Those who are looking for more action will like the Boxing Grannies. Dressed in full boxing gear, with red gloves and silky shorts, they are not to be reckoned with! To play, simply press the button and watch these mean Granny machines throw some well-aimed punches at their opponent. The winner will be the first player to knock their Granny out for the count!


Tyvek Wallets
A fat wallet usually indicates a rich wallet, but nowadays the trend is to go with thinner and easy to carry wallets. The classic novelty Tyvek wallet is the way to go. Made of Tyvek, it feels like paper but it is actually made of thousands of long plastic fibers creating a surface that is both light weight and durable. The Tyvek wallet is also water resistant and will protect against the humidity in your pocket which destroys leather. With various stylish designs (the most popular being the Par Avion design), Tyvek wallets are trendy must have accessories for the modern guy! Being super light and thin, they can fit nicely inside a pocket or bag.
Personalized Football and Baseball Books
Football and Baseball are the Nation’s 2 most favorite sports so it is not surprising that these gifts were hugely popular. This unique New York Times personalized Football or Baseball Book holds historical news reports of your favorite team. The book is presented in Burgundy, gold embossed with your recipients's name. It contains 85 to 200 pages of wonderful insight into your favorite team: their history, the high and lows, the inside stories, the gossip. This is truly a great gift for the football or baseball fan.
