One of my Favorite Unique Gift Resources

Sorry for the rant last week, I had just seen a "One Stop Gift Shop" end cap at my local grocery store, it was basically just 500 different gift cards to different restaurants/stores and was claiming to be the ultimate gift shopping stop.

Let me get back to my purpose, sharing my finds for unique gifts and hopefully helping a few people find some great stuff. Today I want to share one of my favorite sites for techie gifts. I found this site a few years ago and have bought multiple gifts from them (some for myself :P ).

Think Geek - For techie, gamer, science, and office gifts this is one of my favorite sites to browse. They have some great gifts if you know who you are shopping for.

My personal favorite is a "gift" I bought, one for my brother and one for myself. I've used this for over two years now with much success. Its the Aeropress coffee(espresso) maker. Its a single cup coffee maker that makes a delicious treat every time. The only problem is that if you drink A LOT of coffee, then making it by the cup can get very annoying. If you only drink 1 or 2 cups a day it is a wonderful solution. You basically get all of the flavor of a french press but without any of the dregs let over (it filters very well).

The picture to the right gives you the general idea of the product. It makes it look more like its glass (the actual product is stury plastic)

The best part about this is there is relatively no cleanup. The plunger cleans out all of the coffee as you push down, you just throw away the (dry) grounds and rinse off the end.
