Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Weddings -- Wacky Wedding Planner

Some brides and grooms like it big, or even a little showy, while others prefer...shall we say...quick and easy, but it seems that many couples today are choosing non-traditional wedding ceremonies -- what, with hammering out the details of a well-balanced prenuptial agreement before the wedding isn't hard work enough, thank you very much? -- and this is where a wedding planner is called in to make all the arrangements for the busy bride and groom.

So, what kind of bride will you be?

Whether you consider yourself an elegant bride, modern bride, southern bride, or just an innocent bridal observer, don't fret -- and by all means, remember to keep your sense of humor -- because there's probably a dot com out there waiting, just for you!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Sports -- You Are So, Drafted!

NFL.com reports that The 71st NFL Draft will be held on Saturday, April 29, beginning at noon (held through Sunday, April 30th) at New York City's Radio City Music Hall and will be televised nationally by ESPN and, for the first time, NFL Network!

And perhaps some of you are thinking, "What, is it football season...already!?!"

**ducks behind bar stool to avoid flying objects**

Hold on there, Bud...wiser are those who understand the life of a football wife (okay, maybe it's soccer...but just go with it).  But, some of us haven't quite gotten over last season, yet -- the equivalent in length of nearly half a pregnancy -- not to mention degreasing massive amounts of nacho cheese stains from the couch and consuming nothing else unless it is served...in a bucket; isn't that right, Mrs. Average Joe!?!

The NFL Football season doesn't start in another 30 weeks, but...eh...who cares!?!

**shields face with latest copy of Sports Illustrated**

That is to say -- TGIF! -- it's Friday and we don't need no stinkin' football to celebrate the end of another work week.  Besides -- there's always Fantasy Football and SimLeague Football -- and wonderfullywacky.com has a unique gift idea that sure to be the highlight of any sports gathering...no matter the season!

The Giant Beer Glass -- yes, it is big...actually...it's HUGE -- 60 ounces of pure bliss.  It's almost a six pack in your hands at all times!  Impress everyone at your next party with your alcohol fortitude.  The Giant Beer Glass is the perfect conversation and party piece!!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Gadgets -- For Those Who Thought They've Heard It All!

The popularity of body art is on the rise -- with the most common forms of body art being tattoos and body piercings -- and is generally becoming a more commonly accepted practice (it seems even the Army is taking a second look at their tattoo policy).

Then, there are those people who go for more extreme forms of body modification such as mutilation or pushing the body to its physical limits.

FYI -- Elaine Davidson is the world record holder for body piercing in the Guiness Book of Records.

This looks like it would hurt, but...um...modblog.bmezine makes a good point and it is sort of pretty.

 

Okay...this is extremely freaky!

Speaking of extremes -- and getting back to a minimally invasive discussion regarding a less obtrusive body part -- here are some more record breaking things you can do...with your ears:

• Loudest Scream -- 129 decibels (Note: 130 decibels denotes the threshold of pain)
• Heaviest Weight Lifted With An Ear -- 113 lbs. 15 oz. held for 7 seconds!
• Slingshot Ears -- The farthest an American dime has been propelled by an ear lobe -- 10 feet and 10.5 inches!
• Longest Rabbit Ears -- 31.125 inches!
• Longest Ear Hair -- 5.19 inches -- 'nuff said!
• Longest Living Headless Chicken -- had its head chopped off, but went on to survive for 18 months as its owner watered and fed the headless chicken directly into its gullet using an eyedropper.

Okay, the last one really didn't have anything directly to do with ears...but, dayum...if that's just not plain weird!?!

If you're into piercings, or perhaps are more of a clip-on type of guy/gal, then today's unique gift idea from wonderfullywacky.com would not only make a perfect gift...it's pretty cool g-ear, too!

   

Show everyone at the office you have an ear for what's cool with your brand new Ear Keyring.  The Ear Shaped Keyring is funny, affordable and comes in sleek-looking packaging.  Get one for everyone you know to show them you have an ear for what's cool!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Parents -- Trumped By The Birth Of Barron...Um...What's His Name?

Move over, Trumpsters and...um...Trumpettes, it's time to make a new provision!  There's a new heir in town and he shall be named, "Barron William Trump."

In a statement on melania trump.com, the new mom said the youngest Trump weighed in at 8 ½ pounds and was 21 inches long and gushed, "Donald and I are very happy and excited. We can't wait to take our new little Trump to his new home."

Though it would be interesting to see if the birth of Donald and Melania Trump's baby inspires a spin-off to this Barron's website for young Apprentices -- they can call it Baby Barrons -- it's been reported that, with the birth of their new baby brother, each of the Trumplings lost at least 5 percent of his/her inheritance.

**snicker**

Sorry, but it's not like they're dragging their asses out of bed at the crack of dawn, all sleepy-eyed and popping a couple of antacids, before shuffling off to work and half-heartily chanting, "Time to make the donuts."

Then again, we could sit here and debate the gap between rich and poor until we're blue in the face -- and don't even get us started on the whole Dunkin' Donuts vs. Starbucks, thing -- who's to judge, yes?

There's one thing that perhaps most new parents can agree on, however, and that is no one's sex life is secure -- especially not with a baby on board -- and wonderfullywacky.com has a unique gift idea for welcoming new parents to one of life's little passion killers!

Dream Bed Wind-Up Bank

Yes, it's bizarre...but, so is parenthood!

Here's the scenario a couple is relaxing in bed, put a coin on the button and press. The center of the blanket automatically lifts and out comes a baby boy that snatches the coin and goes back into the bed. Maybe the boy is concerned about his college fund?!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- For The Home -- Decorating With A Little Bathroom Humor

The Perfect Dump -- Every once in a while, each of us experiences a perfect dump, it's rare, but a thing of beauty in all respects.  You sit down expecting the worst, but what you get is a smooth sliding, fartless masterpiece that breaks the water with the splashless grace of an expert diver.  But that's not the end of it.  You use some toilet tissue only to find that it was totally unnecessary.  It makes you feel that all is right with the world and you are in perfect harmony with it.

There you have it -- a little bathroom humor via BathroomLife.com!

**blank stares**

Allrightey then...we admit it...bathrooms are not always the relaxing retreat we'd hope they would be.

In fact, there really are some ugly-ass designs out there and HGTV has a photo tour of some of the ugliest bathrooms in the country called, "The Bed Bath Hall of Shame!"

**holding our noses**

Ah, well...to each his own.  And it's nobody's business...but your own, yes?  On the other hand, you don't have to endure a whole bathroom remodel to enjoy a "fresh" look.  We've found a creative and funny idea for decorating your bathroom -- via wonderfullywacky.com -- that perhaps...um...well...as Baron Bob says, "...wouldn't get your bathroom on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, but it sure is FUN!!"

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Gadgets -- Long-Distance Love Goes Hi-Tech!

Perhaps you're familiar with the idiom, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."  But, did you know that the earliest form of the saying was written by a Roman poet named -- now, get this -- Sextus Propertius!?!

Go figure.

Actually, it was more like:

"Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows."

According to a report in Reuters, lovers will soon learn to appreciate the centuries old proverb in a whole new light and, as Citizen Sextus has so cleverly put it, "bask in the flow" through a high-tech wine glass!

"Researchers have come up with a novel way to keep long-distance lovers in touch -- high-tech wine glasses that glow warmly however far apart the pining couple are.  When either person picks up a glass, red light-emitting diodes glow on their partner's glass.  When one puts a glass to their lips, the other glass glows brightly.  Distance is not a problem as liquid sensors and wireless links have been built into the glasses.  The loving cups are to be unveiled next month at a conference in Montreal on computer-human interaction."

Now, you know that the computer-human interaction community -- that's CHI if you're techie -- has their own blog, of course!  And even though it may sound a tad boorish to some -- here's hoping The Food Network inspires some egghead to finally invent smell-a-vision -- there are those of us who perhaps find geeks sort of...you know...sexy!

Even though today's unique gift idea is low-tech by comparison, wonderfullywacky.com has cocktail glasses that closely simulate the idea behind the loving cups, is one of Baron Bob's coolest gadgets for "geeks in love" and perhaps inspiring enough that even Sextus Propertius would say, "I want one of those!"

The Techno Celebration Glass is guaranteed to add sparkles and smiles to any celebration.  It measures 7 1/4" tall, is  4 1/2" at its widest width on the top and the battery will last for over 100 hours (when in operation) and is easily and inexpensively replaceable.

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Academy Awards -- Party Gifts For The Morning-After!

Short of "Crash-ing" the plethora of after-Oscar parties in Hollywood -- for details (and a good source of the best gossip in town) check out Defamer's live-blogging at the Oscars -- we're betting that most of Los Angeles is...

WAKING UP WITH ONE MONDO OF A HANGOVER!!!

[pops an aspirin and presses finger to lips]

Shhhh...there's really no need to shout...as perhaps most of us -- especially college students and New Year's Eve party-goers -- already know the aching, nausea, throbbing, "Just get me a can of Diet Coke or shoot me," dehydrating pain of a hangover!

There is good news -- though the best way to avoid a hangover is, sadly, not to drink alcohol -- there are some easy ways to prevent and lessen the effects of a hangover.  Read onto How Stuff Works and discover how to hinder those morning-after aches and pains.

Don't worry -- you're not the first (or last) to swear, "I'll never drink again," until the next party, anyways! -- wonderfullywacky.com has a unique and funny gift basket that is perfect for the life of the party...and the clean-up after!!!

The "After-Hours Clean-up Barf Bucket" is perfect to send anonymously to the person who drank a little too much, leave out as a party center piece or show up to the party with your very own Barf Bucket already in hand!

Unique Gift Idea of the Day -- Academy Awards -- Couch Potatoes, Movie Buffs and Gawkers...OH MY!

Who will win; who deserves to win; who was snubbed...who knows?  One thing's for sure -- viewers will be treated to the best show in Hollywood and you don't even need a ticket -- the 2006 Academy Awards media coverage will be there to catch every blooper, bobble and boob-bursting Oscar moment!

For years, the Oscars have shot actors into super stardom while granting others no more than fifteen minutes of fame.  But -- and perhaps red carpet watchers will agree -- one would be hard pressed to ignore the breakout moment of a pair of bodacious ta-ta's, yes!?!

[adjusts bra straps]

Though it will be interesting to see if Oscar can top Mizrahi's grope coverage of Scarlett Johansson at the Golden Globes!

Only time, a good support bra and the use of double-sided tape, not to mention possibly every entertainment publication available in the free world, will tell -- and you're never too late to catch up on all the Oscar buzz at The Envelope -- so, be sure to tune into the 78th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 5th at 8:00 p.m. est (5:00 p.m. pst) and enjoy the stars "coming out"...all from the comfort of your own couch!

Today's unique gift idea is brought to you by wonderfullywacky.com and is dedicated to couch potatoes, movie buffs and gawkers, alike!

Doesn't The Popcorn Print Bowl make you want to sit down and watch a movie?  Baron Bob's Wacky Popcorn Print Snack Bowl (the name's keep getting longer and longer) is an inexpensive, ready made gag perfect for impressing Oscar Party guests!  Just put the bowl out and people will reach into it thinking they are going to get a handful of crunchy, buttery goodness and...HAH!...no popcorn for you!

Want a sneak-peek?

[nods head, rubs hands together and begins to salivate]

If you're planning an Oscar Party and are looking for goodie bag ideas, wonderfullywacky.com has unique gift ideas that are ready for the big screen and are tailored for the low budget!

Unique Gift Idea of the day -- Britain -- Pleasure A Little Bit A Fun?

BBC News reported a factory worker admitted stealing items -- which included ornaments and commemorative clocks -- valued at £22,000 (approx. $38,500) created to mark Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday on April 21st.

[breaks into British-slang]

Crikey Moses...I say...but, did the berk go barmy on some wacky-backy...what?!?

Not bleeding likely; another **cough**... arsehole... **cough** employee recognized the items for sale...on eBay!

Poor sap; fancied himself the dog's bollocks with a bit of knock-off, did he?  Bet he was narked to find himself at Her Majesty's pleasure...maybe even and a bit gobsmacked...yeah...sorta being kicked in the goolies by a fit bird like a smarmy-git, really!

[clears throat]

(translation available on request)

Cor, Blimey...but, that was fun!  Picking up on British slang is not a problem, with the American's Guide to Speaking British, and wonderfullywacky.com makes shopping for unique gift ideas just as...Easy-Peasy!!

Taking inspiration from the Brits -- Baron Liz and Grandma are enjoying their tea time in a big way!! The ceramic Giant Cup and Saucer is indeed the conversation piece. Place it on your kitchen table and fill it with fruit? Place it on your coffee table with some potpourri? Or just drink yourself silly for that extra caffeine kick!!
