2012 Unique Gift Ideas under $100 dollars Gifts

There are so many occasions, such as birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversary, just to name a few, that we buy gifts for people we love. Most of the time though, it's difficult to think of gift ideas that are unique or special, so we end up with the usual gifts like sweaters for Mom and Dad, sister and brother, grandpa and grandma for Christmas. What the heck, give sweaters to everyone on the list. Mom usually say she doesn't need anything. Dad just loves anything you give him and then would stick it in the closet, never to be seen again. And Grandpa and Grandma, what could they possibly want or need. Of course, they need another sweater. Sweaters are really great gifts, of course. Nothing wrong with sweaters. I get a new sweater or two every Christmas. We live in Canada, and if one lives in Canada, one needs gazillion sweaters for sure.

How would you like to think out of the box this year? In 2011, give Mom and Dad, or your sister and brother, or Grandpa and Grandma something different on Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, and this Christmas. Something unique, that they might even wonder "What da heck is this?" At least, it's not the usual forced sweet smile saying "Oh, a sweater, Thank you, dear." without meaning it, of course. Just being polite. They probably want to scream, but again, they are being polite.

Before you say pass, please hear me out. I promise you won't be sorry. I saw this umbrella from the coolest guy in my office. He was wearing it across his back and it looks just like a real samurai sword. And the coolest part was he was wearing a suit. How cool is that? He said his girlfriend gave it to him for his birthday and he loves it. Last Christmas, I got one for my son and one for my brother, and they both loved it.

The craftsmanship is amazing. This is the best model of a device that will ever exist. Whoever invented this product is a genius! You will be hard pressed to ever find an umbrella that is as well-built, clever, and has a knack for starting conversations as the Samurai Umbrella.

While this umbrella might not go through airport security due to its weapon-like appearance, it's definitely a cool thing to carry with you everyday. My brother said it definitely garners its share of looks. The handle feels very comfortable in hand and the length of the handle means both hands can easily be used to wield the umbrella when encountering strong winds or water-gun wielding ninjas. This is a big plus as we live in Toronto, and we get gusty winds and there are a lot of water-gun wielding ninjas in our city. The material and mechanism of the umbrella are good quality and it opens smoothly with a single click of a button.

The nylon sheath is also very practical due to the extra-long, adjustable strap. It allows one to wear it across the back or over the shoulder. This hands-freeing feature is another big plus as very few other umbrellas have this feature.

The Samurai Umbrella is definitely a unique Father's Day, birthday or Christmas gift. This is definitely a great addition to your 2011 unique gift ideas under $100 for cool gifts for men or women.

If you are like me, you probably only have one remote, and that is for your TV. But this is not the case nowadays. We are the dying breed. These days, there is a TV remote, a separate one for the DVD player, another for video games, still another for light control, and whatever else the techno geniuses have and would come up with. When I go to my kids apartment, I cannot turn on the TV. Why? Because it takes manually turning on the TV because they lost the original remote, turning on the cable remote, then changing the number on screen to number 3 (don't ask me why) using a smaller gadget, and only then you can get the TV on. Then pick up the bigger remote to change the TV channels, so I could watch my show.

I am not big on pop or soda or seltzers. Give me water, tea or coffee please. But the rest of my family is. I've always been environmentally conscious, recycling cans and plastic bottles. But not everyone is recycling. Plastic bottle recycling sure can help, instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing. Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate.

A friend of mine mentioned this wonderful product. It turns tap water into pure sparkling water. How cool is that? I got one for myself. My son makes his own Dr. Pepper, and my daughter makes delicious seltzers. I love my sparkling water with just a twist of lemon. And listen to this, I also use this wonderful product to refresh sparkling wines. No more need to buy, carry or store large quantities of heavy and bulky bottles. This product is really awesome. A great addition to your list of unique gift ideas under $100. A must have in the the cool home tools and gadgets gifts.
