It’s that time of the year, time to pull out the camping gear and take the kids to the great outdoors. But as I’m sure you all know, things don’t always go as planned. But this time around, you can be readier than ever with this 73 piece road assistance kit.

It’s got everything you need from the basic first aid kit to gloves, a screwdriver, a booster cable and a bungee cord. Cool huh? I think it’d be cool just to own one of these and have it in your car!

Get it on Amazon at 60% off the regular price. It doesn’t cost much and it doesn’t take up much space, and sure will help you feel safer next time you get out on that road trip.

That’s right, my friends. For those of you who failed that kindergarten arts and crafts class, this handy solution is for you. This wicked pair of scissors allows you to keep a straight line when you’re cutting.

On amazon for only $10, this gift idea is great for all your girlfriends who have wrapping stations in their basements, are artists, coupon collectors… or are just clumsy with scissors!

I wonder if this would be good for helping people cut hair, too… Hmm.

Weekly Gift Idea: The Vinturi Wine Aerator

azadine0 — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:00:06 +0000

This week’s gift idea is actually one I came across this weekend while looking for a gift for some family, who are bonafide wine drinkers. This product seemed too good to be true. So what exactly does it do?

In a nutshell, it enhances the flavour, bouquet and finish of any wine, and makes the cheapest wine taste amazing. And it does all of this in an instant. Instead of leaving the bottle of wine open for about ½ hour for a natural aeration process, this device does the same thing, with even better results, in just one easy step: simply pour the wine through it while pouring into the wine glass!

On top of that, it’s very stylishly designed and is ver compact. As for my family? They absolutely loved this gift.

Weekly Gift Idea: Creative Cups!

James — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:43:13 +0000

You read right! Today starts a new tradition on the GauchoBlog. In the midst of several changes around the blog, today we’ll be starting our Weekly Gift Idea series. Much like our Daily Gift Idea series that we are putting on a hiatus for the time being, we hope that the Weekly Gift Ideas give you some wicked ideas for gifts to purchase for the special people in your life. Of course, if you have any ideas on weekly gift ideas, feel free to leave a comment or email us!

But enough with the chitter-chatter and let’s get to this week’s idea!

We’ve featured coffee cups in past gift ideas, but this week we have two more that we think are extra-spectacular. There were a few other creative cups we found online that were either too expensive or out of stock… we’ll keep an eye on them and report them when we see them on sale (or back in stock)!

I’m not a paper cup… I promise!

I love the environment as much as the next guy. But paper cups just look so damn cool coming out of a coffee shop. That’s why I think this idea is really great for coffee lovers that want to look cool, and save the environment at the same time. Great little travel mug that looks like a paper cup – but it’s not!

On/Off Mug

This coffee cup tells you when it’s hot… and when it’s not. This simple and creative invention helps you figure out whether or not your coffee is at your preferred heat level, and at only $20 on Amazon, it’s wicked!

Daily Gift Idea: Bump, Bump, Bump!

James — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:20:06 +0000

Alright, so in the midst of this huge Apple iPhone 4 launch, we’ve been showing a lot of pretty cool gadgets you can use with your iPhone 4. Still, with the launch means the rumour of some pretty big flaws in the design of the iPhone 4. The biggest of which right now seems to be that the iPhone’s signal will drop to 0 bars when you hold it in your left hand (which most of us right-handed people do).

That sucks for people getting the new iPhone 4 – so if you know someone, why not help them out and get a Apple iPhone Bumper that is also rumoured to solve this problem? $29 in the Apple Store, and you’ve made an Apple-geek mega-happy!

For the avid gardener, why not help them make their garden even more beautiful? A great bulb kit that includes a variety of different flowers for the spring and summer season would make an excellent gift.

Bulbs like tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are just a few of the many bulbs that come ready to be planted with full instructions in starter kits such as this. Whether you are a novice or an expert at growing beautiful flowers, this is a no-miss gift that just about anyone who likes to get hands-on with their flowers will love.

Daily Gift Idea: Charger/Mount for Your Ultimate In-Car iPod/iPhone Experience!

James — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:00:03 +0000

Alright. So it seems I’m in love with my iPhone. Maybe it has something to do with the impending iPhone 4G release (did you preorder your’s yet?), but I always love a good accessory for my special gadget. I’ll probably be featuring a ton of iPad ones, as well (when/if I get one)! Still, for all you iPod Touch/iPhone users who drive around a lot, today’s gift idea is for you.

Similar to the car charger I featured a couple weeks ago, this gift idea will charge and mount your iPhone/iPod Touch so you can see it, charge it, and let it play in your car. All that for $16 and you’ve hardly touched your wallet. Pretty sweet, right?!
