    These are all really cool, unique ideas! Love the USB Batteries!! Great posts.

    My friend and I have invented a product that might also be a great idea too for him or her. Its called the Armadillow. Essentially its for when you and a loved one are laying or cuddling together. It’s a pillow that has arm tunnels so that he can put his arms underneath without it getting numb and uncomfortable. It’s also got a multi level top so he can see over you if you are spooning and watching TV. No more numb arm and craning neck while cuddling! Check it out at Armadillow.com – Hope you like it!

    I see alot of gifts that are meant to enhance her cooking and cleaning skills for her and alot of gifts that are mearly toys for him… maybe I’m just blind, being a woman. You could’ve levelled it out with some cleaning items for him or how about a lawnmower or something?
    Yeah yeah, there are some toy ideas for her aswell, I would just wonder what my husband saw in me if he gave me a vacuumcleaner.
