Loud Golf Pants

I came across a blog post on the loud pants professional golfer John Daly was wearing recently - suggesting they were so bright they could be seen from outer space. These make a very cool alternative to the traditional khakis your man might be wearing to the golf course.

I guess you might say they are out of this world.

Start Rocking with this Cool Guitar Set

This looked like a really cool guitar starter set to me, and if there is a guy you know looking to learn guitar it looks like this would get him rocking - Stratocaster guitar, strings, picks, a strap, Squier amp, a 10-foot cable, a tuner, a gig bag, guitar stand, and an instructional DVD. What a great gift idea for him!

More Cooler Gift Ideas

I was giving a little more thought to the cooler gift idea (see prior post on Classic Stainless Steel Cooler), which I like by the way. I was thinking that many people have more than one cooler. Often a different size and shape cooler for different occasions and requirements.

Anyway, we wanted to provide some additional cooler gift ideas @ Amazon.com!

PS Check out this cool, radio-controlled cooler @ Amazon.com shown in the picture above.

Just lounging around the pool Dad

It's feeling like pool weather where we live and come Father's Day, the lounging Dad would enjoy a swimming pool lounge like the one shown above.

Let Dad Pour the Drinks

I'm really liking this drink dispenser and how it would look on the top of a bar counter. With this, your man (or designated cocktail maker) is sure to pour the perfect drink with just the right amount of alcohol of choice; dispensers consistently pour measured, 1-1/2-ounce shots. Looks like a great gift idea for the Dad who pours the drinks.

Have a great weekend - cheers!!

Self Propelled Cart Makes Great Gift Idea

This self propelled garden cart would make a great gift idea for the man who works out in the yard a lot. I am thinking about some of the heavy loads I have pushed around (without self propulsion) and boy would have this cart come in handy. I'm thinking mulch, I'm thinking firewood ... to name a few. This really makes a handy gift idea for him. More details at the link below at Amazon.com:

Literally Cool Mini Kegerator

Why literally? Because this device not only dispenses your beer but keeps it cool. I have used the mini-kegs (without any real special functions except dispensing), and it worked great for the little get together. It was a lot of fun getting the beer from the tap and there were no cans or bottles to deal with. This extends that functionality and offers the beer drinker a nice alternative to the full sized kegerator.

There's a very nice review written on this from one of the customers and you can also check out similar items from the bottom of the product page. This does look like a very "cool" gift idea for him:

Have a great weekend - cheers!!

Very Cool Coffee Table Book for Grateful Dead Fan

This is sure to make a cool gift for the Grateful Dead fan. With its great collection of images I'd think it would be great as a "coffee table book" or display almost anywhere in the house. I just recently learned The Dead is on tour and if you could get tickets to a local event, that too would make a nice gift idea.
