Happy Belated Christmas????

So we all have people that we'll forget to buy a present for. That, or even worse, someone will hand you a gift and you won't have one to give them in return. Yeah, that's ALWAYS uncomfortable. Here are some cool gift ideas for all your last minute, belated Christmas needs:

Automoblox Minis: Automoblox are hot...the minis are even hotter. The supply on these is limited, so if you want one, be sure to get them now! And you can even use the excuse that this present is late because it is in such high demand (and that's technically not a lie).

Millennium PTU: This rotary-powered transportation unit (or flying robot guy, as I like to call him) rocks. He's easy to fly, inexpensive, and a fun toy for anyone 13 and older. Even your hardest to buy for relative will have a blast playing with the PTU.

SkyScout Personal Planetarium: So this is quite possibly the coolest item we offer, and we have TONS of cool stuff. The SkyScout is GPS enabled. You take it outside at night, point it at a celestial object, push a button, and you are told what you are looking at. Think you are looking at Orion's Belt? Bam...wrong...it's the Little Dipper. One of the coolest features is Tonight's Highlights, which is a customized list of the 20 best objects to view for your exact date, time and location anywhere in the world. This is a present with serious WOW factor.

Desktop Sandboxes: These sandboxes are great for anyone stuck at their desk all day. Sure, kids would like them too. But for those of us who stare at a computer screen all day, sometimes a little play break is necessary. The Sand Trap Golf sandbox is fun for your favorite golfer. Have a sister who still fancies herself a princess? Get her the Princess Dreams sandbox. I personally am a fan of the Mermaid & Friends sandbox.

If those ideas aren't enough, let me know...I can give you more!

Game On

I am a game nerd. I admit it. I have 35 different games at home (I counted this weekend). Some get played more than others, obviously. But I love games, and no matter how many I have, I always have new ones on my Christmas and Birthday lists. Here are a few that I have my eye on this year:

Blokus: This game has won more awards than I have time to type out. Everyone from MENSA to Parents Choice has selected this game as a winner. I love games that involve strategic thinking; but, even better, the rules are supposedly very easy to understand. I'd rather spend what time I have playing the game rather than reading the instructions.

Labyrinth: This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I could waste hours trying to get that little ball through the maze of holes. I'd much rather play this game by myself than a game of solataire any day of the week. Since I was unable to convince my parents to give up their "classic" Labyrinth game, maybe they'll be kind enough to purchase this one for me this Christmas.

Chutes & Ladders: So, you were either a Chutes & Ladders kid or a Candyland kid. You might like both, but you definitely favored one over the other. I was a Chutes & Ladders kid. My 4-year old is currently a Candyland kid, but she's never played Chutes & Ladders. I'm hoping to get this classic edition for Christmas and convert her. We'll see...that Peppermint Stick Forest is pretty tempting.

Discovery Edition Wordspot: This game is a new spin on a word-find game. Players get to find hidden words within the board. I love word-find games, and I love Scrabble...this seems like a great combination of the two!
