There is nothing worse than sitting around the campfire and being eaten alive by mosquitoes and being hit by low flying kamikaze bugs the size of tennis balls and there is nothing more enjoyable than inserting a couple of AA batteries into these cool bug zapper tennis rackets and playing a bit of bug tennis.

These work well on all kinds of bugs, flys, mosquitoes, spiders, and other smallish isnsects but the coolest stuff happens at night when the lights go out. No, what happens in the tent, stays in the tent (get your mind out of the gutter) I’m talking about the snap crackle and pop of that irritating bug.

The juicer the bug, the bigger the crackle which also helps with the size of the spark as it fry’s the unsuspecting intruder for it’s entry into your domain.

You may have to keep an eye on the guys after a couple of soothing frothies because we all know that boys will be boys.

Check out youtube for some hilarious videos of boys being boys Yes, the frownie face is because we do not approve of or endorse that kind of silly behaviour, now go to your room!

The electronic Bug Zapper Tennis Rackets make a great mens gift idea especially the camping enthusiasts.

The Galaxy Star Projector Sound Machine turns your living room or bedroom into a constantly changing array of colourful twinkling stars and plays calming sounds to help you relax.

Light up the scented candles and choose from 6 programmed sounds of nature to help you relax:

• Babbling Brook
• Ocean Surf
• Falling Rain
• Birds singing by a creek
• Summer Night
• Birds at dawn

If you can get through all that chirping and sound of running water without needing a toilet or wanting to stangle the wildlife, you can always plug in your MP3 player and rock the house with AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long.

Makes a great house warming gift idea.

This is what you call scotch on the rocks!

Simply place the soapstone whisky stones (about 2 per glass is perfect) into the included muslin bag and pop them into the freezer for a couple of hours or untill you’re ready to use them. Place 2 whisky rocks into your glass and let it stand for a few minutes, you can use this time to nose your whisky and take in the wonderful aromas. That’s what whisky drinking is all about.

If you are looking for a cool mens gift idea the whisky stones could be just the thing.

The V8 Sound Racer could be the answer to your V8 prayers. Simply insurt this gadget into your car’s cigarette lighter socket (that’s a power supply for the non smokers) pair it with your FM radio and make sure to choose a frequency that isn’t being used by a radio station.

Start up you boring little car, pump up the volume on your car stereo and listen to the roar of a throbing V8 engine fill your car and you will instantly have your waning manhood restored to macho or bogan and proud!

Shift to first gear, hit the gas pedal and let the enhanced driving experience of a V8 Sound Racer exhilarate you! In every phase of driving – accelerating, decelerating, shifting, cruising and idling — the sound from Sound Racer V8 is so convincing that it actually fools your senses into believing that you’re driving a V8 high performance sports car!..

Yep the V8 Sound Racer is a must have for any dinkum Aussie bloke.

At The Gifted Man we see loads of gift ideas for men from companies wanting to supply our store and we only select the best. The Backwards Clock does take a bit of getting used to but once you do, it will confound and confuse your friends which of course is the fun bit.

So if you feel like time is running in reverse, this is the clock for you. The numbers go anti-clockwise and the hands turn the opposite way to a normal clock, so it’s a real challenge to tell the time.

Master Chef Wall Clock – Your time starts now!

Put yourself under time pressures just like the MasterChef contestants when you cook the family meal or bake that special cake.

The authentic official MasterChef clock in brushed silver with logo.

Licensed Wireless Car Mouse – What better way to drive along the super highway.

Thes are no ordinary Wireless Car Mouse but beautifully crafted wireless optical computer car mouse’s developed by Click Car Mouse and officially licensed by Aston Martin Lagonda, Maserati, BMW, Mini and Mercedes Benz.

Is it a model or is it a mouse? It’s hard to tell because they look so good.

Perhaps you could also claim it to be your ‘company car’ and use it for work purposes? They drive nicely around the office desk. Secret agent 007 James Bond used the Aston Martin as his company car in the Quantum of Solace, and as such, this mouse is specially painted in Quantum Silver.

You could also choose from the beautiful Mini Cooper S, the Gran Turismo by Maserati or the sporty BMW Z4 but the classic is definately the old school Mercedes Benz 300sl.

They all make great gift ideas for men and women of all ages.

Mother’s Day

Coming in at Number 10 this year to start things off is the coolest of social media styled gifts the Facebook Like Coffee Mug. It seems that we are only truly contented when we tell everyone who cares (and even those who don’t) what it is that we like or don’t like. Facebook fans like a lot of things. Real Facebook addicts spend whole days liking things. Here’s something else to like. The Like Coffee Mug. I like it. Do you? Give it a thumbs up.

Number 9 on our list is a really cool travel coffee cup that will keep you focused on the long early morning drive into work! The Into Focus Coffee Mug is a 310ml travel coffee mug shaped like a camera lens. Sometimes you need a hot drink to help you get back into focus, but when your thoughts wonder, your drink gets cold. Not anymore! Just put the cap on your mug and your drink will stay hot for longer. Ceramic mug in the shape of a camera lens with silicone lid.

At number 8 we are keeping with the coffee theme as we know lots of Mums out there really dig their coffee, some more, much more than others. So for these Mums we have the big, large,  huge no Giant Coffee Mug. So how big is the giant coffee mug, you ask? Well it’s a whoping 900ml of taking the edge off the early morning blues coffee. The Mum, you’re bloody awesome (sorry for swearing xoxoxoxo) giant coffee mug is perfect for the caffeine addict’s morning fix.

At number 7 we are moving away from the coffee but staying in the kitchen. The Gripet note holder is a wonderful kitchen gadget designed by the team at Dreamfarm.

The fridge door never has enough magnets and the ones that are there are never strong enough so every time you close the door everything falls off. Cork boards aren’t much better, there are never enough pins so you end up using one pin to stick 10 things to the board, not to mention the holes pins leave in your invitations and photos.

By using gravity and friction to secure your notes, Gripet eliminates the need for glue, pins, tape, clips and magnets. Gripet’s quick grip and release system is infinitely reusable and allows you to easily store up to 3mm of notes without damaging them.

At number 6 technology takes over with a great desk accessory the Phone Dock with Handset for iPhone and is perfect for the upwardly mobile kind of Mum.

Enjoy the classic feeling of twirling the telephone receiver cord around your fingers as you chat happily to your family and friends. Complete with a one touch button for answering and ending calls, this little gadget also features a hands free speaker and support clips for perfect positioning.

Minimize the radiation you’ll receive on those long calls to your loved ones. Think how much healthier this product will be for you, there’s a lot of fear about the radiation from mobile phones currently but mobile technology has already been adopted by society so there’s no going back. However buy the Old School Phone Dock with Handset now and you won’t have to worry again about all those surveys mentioning the dangers of mobile phone radiation.

At number 5 we reach the halfway mark and the Mothers Day Gift Ideas just keep getting better. The Thirsty Bird Water Dispenser is the perfect addition to your office desk and is always ready and waiting – perched on your desk ready to ensure you have a drink when you need it!

The really clever bit is that you simply purchase (or bring one from home) a bottle of water and then just attach your water bottle to the dispenser and you’re good to go. The Thirsty Bird water dispenser also comes with an extra adapter to fit different sized water bottles.

Number 4 on our Mothers Day Gift Ideas list is the Movie Clapperboard Clock Directors Edition.

Looking and acting exactly like a movie directors digital clapperboard, this Digital Alarm Clock displays time in a 24 hour format, which is complete even up to seconds and deci-seconds. Besides, it shows you the date in a dd/month/year format. It’s also a fully functional alarm clock. To silence it, just use the clapper and clip the board like you are beginning a movie take, and the alarm stops (and action!).

Number 3 is the Compact folding bookstand by Joseph Joseph

The problem with most bookstands is their bulky size and awkward shape, which takes up valuable space when not in use. The unique design of CookBook™ avoids this, as it opens and folds exactly like a book, which means it can be stored neatly away on a shelf with other books until required.

When opened, the bookrests, page holders and back stand automatically fold out, providing solid, angled support for most sizes of book or even an electronic tablet device. A non-slip foot at the base of the spine keeps the unit in place on the work surface during use. When closed, CookBook™ folds flat, becoming no thicker than an average-sized book.

Now number 2 is very special and we think a must have for any foodie house now that it’s coming into winter. The Mad Millie DIY Mini Pizza Oven is an indoor pizza oven that allows guests to make and cook their own mini pizza’s at the table making dinner time sooo much fun!

You can cook one very large pizza or you can have your guests build their own mini pizza’s and then chat away whilst cooking. Simply add a bottle of Chianti and the night is perfect. The oven comes with six mini spatulas giving you and your guests the opportunity to make your own mini pizzas or one large pizza, cooked to perfection in 5 minutes!

O.K Drum roll please as we reveal our number 1 Mothers Day Gift Ideas for 2012! The best is the next generation Index Chopping board by Joseph & Joseph. Just when you thought they couldn’t make it better, they went and improved it again.

multi-award-winning chopping board categorisation system, designed to reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination of different food types. Its four colour-coded chopping boards now boast convenient, non-slip feet on both sides and index-style tabs with contrasting, soft-grip illustrations, ensuring the boards are even easier to select for each food type. A must have for the serious cook and you know Mum will just love this one.

We trust you enjoyed our top 10 Mothers Day Gift Ideas for 2012 list and will provide more top 10’s leading up to Father’s Day. The Gifted Man has you covered for all your gift needs.

Giant Coffee Mug Mum

If your Mum is a bit of a coffee addict then the Giant Coffee Mug Mum could be the way to go. The Mum, you’re bloody awesome giant coffee mug can hold a massive 900 ml of coffee, perfect for the caffeine addict’s morning fix.

Perhaps health and fitness is the way to go. We have a cool skipping rope with LCD display that keeps track of your exercise program by tracking jumps and calories burnt. Work out how many skips you need to do to work off that chocolate bar.

The Garject is probably the best piece of kitchen equipment in our opinion in the last 10 years. This has improved the humble garlic press out of site. With a simple squeeze of the handle, it will remove the skin, squeeze the garlic and when you open it, it self cleans by scraping out the remains. Now that’s impressive!

Give Mum a special gift on Mother’s Day this year.
