Yesterday I suggested duct tape wallets from Ducti.com as a unique gift idea. I wanted to take the time to post other gift ideas, because everybody has at least one friend that is hard to shop for.

Sony 12 Device Universal Learning Remote with LCD Screen

Can be programmed to work with up to 12 devices. It has a learning feature that learns functions from other remote controls and appliances. I gave one to my friend for his birthday, and he had it programmed to work with 2 TVs, 2 VCRs, a stereo, and his air conditioner with 10 minutes. Great for the person who has too many remotes (or who is missing some remotes entirely.)

One of my favorite posters of all time. Go to allposters.com and type 'monkey' in the search. You will find a few different versions of this poster.
