8 & 16 Bit Awesomeness

You can not go wrong with a classic, but team it up with another and you have holiday gold! This gaming unit does not connect to the internet and will not play blue-ray discs but it will transport you back to a magical period when gaming was simple and even a tad crude.

This unit supports both Nintendo and Super Nintendo games, so go on and get those old game cartridges out of the attic and let the fun begin!

A cooler that gets it

How many fantastic moments in sports/television history have you missed because you were busy burrowing in the fridge for a beer? Not anymore with this fantastic little invention. Just pop in some batteries, fill it up with your favorite beverage and it's show time. A robot that vacuums? BORING! A robot that fetches you a cold one during double over time? Score!

give the gift of laughter

If you are giving a gift to a parent or pet owner, consider the undeniable humor in novelty teeth. It's amazing how something so simple can be so funny. Personally, I don't think seeing either of these would ever get old in the humor department.

Anyway, whether you give one of the billy-bob baby pacifiers or a novelty dog toy, they are sure to spread some holiday joy and keep people laughing well into the new year!

see the world through a fisheye

Here's a great gift for the creative person in your life the Lomo Fisheye Camera.

"170-degree field of view The heart, soul, and blood of the Fisheye's brilliance: an enormous field of view that takes in literally half of the world around you and compacts it into a nice and tight circular image. Barrel distortions twist and bend your subjects around the edges, stretch them towards and away from your lens, and converge their lines towards the center." - available at fitzsu.com.

The Lomo Fisheye is $70, takes ol' school 35mm film, and is fun for all ages!

silly, zany items for people you love

The Onion Store has a host of really hilarious gifts. Like the "stop staring at my tote" tote, above. I hate totes. But if I were to use one, this would be the one. I think I'm going to walk around today, and just randomly say "stop staring at my tote." That sounds like fun.
