If the person you care about happens to have a fuzzy little squish (aka a cat), there’s a very good chance they’ll get some use out of this Automatic Cat Treat Dispenser. But at the end of the day, cats are weird, so we can’t guarantee this is universally loves by cats…although…our product testers seemed to enjoy the experience…. If you’re not sure about treats, try out this HalloWing Interactive Cat Toy!
For those of you with access to a 3D printer this HalloWing Magic 9 Ball is a super fun way to leave all sorts of messages for the special person(s) in your life.
Remix this CircuitPython Snow Globe to feature a favorite shared memory, a beloved pet, a funny moment or even as a surprise reveal to another fun thing you’ve got up your sleeves. The options with this project are endless, as long as you can make it fit into the snow globe!
Do you have a special someone who thoroughly enjoys a good joke? Ever since John Park wrote up this Haunted Portrait project we can not stop imagining how fun it would be to gift someone a haunted self portrait. Or cat portrait. Yeesh, cats are really find their way into this gift guide…
This Meeting Time Keeping Stick def does need to be limited to the office! Are we crazy to suggest this has the potential to help in any situation where communication needs to happen? Ah, if only we had one of these back in student council… Seriously though, we think this would be a great gift for anyone seeking organized communication.
If you’ve gone on or are planning a trip with someone special we can only imagine how delighted they’d be with this Interactive Map. Nothing like hitting those aural memories
