Holiday Gift Giving Ideas: Web Retailers Announce Unique Gifts for the Hard to Buy For

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) November 26, 2007 -- Christmas gift giving got you down? Looking for the perfect gift for grandma, dad, the boss or other hard to buy people on your list? In preparation of the busiest shopping season of the year, Internet retailers are offering unique gifts for all tastes.

"How many holiday parties do you attend and see everyone bring the host another bottle of wine?" asks Al Bell, CEO of Moochie & Co., a specialty retailer of pet gifts and accessories. "Now imagine you bring the host a Christmas dress (http://www.moochieandco.com/moochie/product.asp?s_id=0&prod_name=Santa%27s+Helper+Dress&pf_id=PAAAAAKICEBAMHDP&dept_id=3120) for her Chihuahua or a Happy Chanukah t-shirt (http://www.moochieandco.com/moochie/product.asp?s_id=0&prod_name=Happy+Chanukah+Tank&pf_id=PAAAIAEGOCMPJOFH&dept_id=3120) for his beagle. Those are the gifts that get everyone talking."

Bell also suggested pet gifts as the perfect gift for the office. "If your boss has a dog or cat, Moochie and Co. gifts are a great way to make sure your present stands out."

Looking to give the gift of family history to those on your list? Consider visiting LifeBio.com (http://www.lifebio.com/). The site allows its members to create an autobiography online.

"LifeBio's online services provides individuals, family and caregivers a structured approach to creating a life story (https://secure.lifebio.com/shopping/Default.aspx?ProductID=105), sparking memories, and thinking about the past in new ways," Beth Sanders, President of the Ohio-based company explained.

The completed biography can then be printed on a home printer, accessed online or bound as a hard copy book.

"What better Holiday gift for the grandchildren than a hard copy biography of their grandparents' lives?" Sanders asked.

She added that LifeBio is also about the gift of family togetherness. "Many adult children purchase a LifeBio subscription and then gather the family to interview grandma and grandpa over the course of several days. It's a great way to get the whole family together and talking during the holidays."

Have an athlete in your life? Or, know someone who wants to make a commitment to fitness? Online personal training site HyperStrike.com (http://www.hyperstrike.com/) offers hundreds of workouts customized by sport, fitness levels and goals.

Mike Greeves, President and CEO of HyperStrike explained, "Membership to HyperStrike provides access to thousands of workout programs (https://www.hyperstrike.com/pages/Sample-Workouts/) that are fully customizable to each member." Videos of each exercise help members understand the correct form for each exercise.

"If anyone in your life is dedicated to health, fitness and sports, a HyperStrike membership is the perfect gift," Greeves said. "When you're a HyperStrike member, you'll never have to walk into your gym or home without a planned, effective workout that constantly challenges you and helps you attain results."

If you're determined not to give the pickup truck driving man in your life another tie or bottle of cologne he'll never open, consider ShurTrax (http://www.shurtrax.com/), a product that enjoys a cult-like following from truck owners. "Everyone who owns a pickup and drives in winter weather has had to deal with the same problem," said Marty Carty, President of the company that manufacturers ShurTrax. "How can you safely add weight to the back of your truck (http://www.shurtrax.com/)?"

Carty explained that the durable ShurTrax adds up to 400lbs of weight to your vehicle ensuring a safer ride during the winter. "Just place ShurTrax in the back of your truck and fill it with water by attaching it to your garden hose. It's tough, durable and you can leave ShurTrax in all year and continue to use your truck for hauling cargo."

He added that ShurTrax didn't come with the mess of sand tubes or the danger of concrete blocks. "People who have a ShurTrax rave about it!" he said.

Want-to-be inventors who need a little guidance on how to get started on their own journey can read Carty's book "Do You Have A Million Dollar Idea?" available for $13.95 on Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0595444741?tag=shur0d-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0595444741&adid=0062AMM8VGFDV31R8HWM&).
