Early on in the life of GiftZen we featured the Gnome Be Gone yard sculpture. Well now the fine folks at Uncommon Goods have found a holiday version – the Gnome Be Gone Toboggan sculpture. Featuring three steel critters out for a wild toboggan ride with a kidnapped, this all metal three-foot conversation piece would look great as a holiday centerpiece!

Gnome Be Gone Toboggan
What a great way to liven up your desk a work! Just attach this snowman speaker, and it plays your music and changes colors along with the beat. It’s available only during the holiday season, so get it while you can!Toy Tattoo Maker for Kids
Yeah, this one is really strange. While I suppose some kids would love to create their own temporary tattoos, it just seems weird. But, if you want to get a nephew or niece a gift that would freak out their parents, this just might be it!

Petwatch Automatic Pet Feeder
This is one fancy pet feeder. You can create up to five feeding times throughout the day, and notify your pet it’s feeding time with a short sound or recorded message. On top of that, the Petwatch has a built in camera that you can access over the internet, so you can watch your pet eating. All this needs is an attachment that pets your dog for you, and you never have to come home!
iPulse iPod Bear
Looking for a cute iPod speaker system for your kids? The iPulse from Sharper Image might just fit the bill. The iPod fits in a pouch on the front of the bear, and the kids see a light show played out on all four paws. It’s cute!

Perfect Pod Coffee Pod Maker
If you’re like me, you think the coffee makers that use coffee pods look great, but you don’t want to spend the money on coffee pods. On top of that, I want to choose the coffee that goes in the pods – sometimes I might want a dark roasted Starbucks coffee, other times I might want a lighter Tully’s blend. That’s where the Perfect Pod comes in. Use the Perfect Pod with any coffee, and any for any coffee maker – it makes the perfect coffee pod, every time!
The NanoNuno Umbrella makes a great gift for those live in wet climates. Far better than your average umbrella, the NanoNuno doesn’t get wet – the nano microfibers repel water. When you get wherever you’re going, just give the umbrella a shake and it’s dry!Koala Baby Hammock
A beautifully simple hammock, the Koala Baby Hammock looks great. Babies strap into to this lightweight, portable hammock, and spend the day snug as a bug in a rug. It makes a great gift for new parents!

Bike Chain Bottle Opener
Made from a recycled bike chain, this cool bottle opener would be a treasured kitchen gadget for any biker on your gift list. It’s fun, practical, and very cool.

Here’s a great gift for dog owners – dog seatbelts. It works great as a standard leash, but it a vehicle it safely and easily secures the dog, keeping it safely away from the driver and in its proper place. No dog owner should be without one of these.
