Gift Guide Part 4: Forever Young

For the kid—or kid at heart—who firmly believes all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. These fun and frivolous gizmos are sure to please young blood, which will make your holiday shopping child's play.


1. A Union Suit is both practical and nostalgic, making it the ultimate I've-wanted-one-forever-but-never-would-have-bought-it-myself gift. Plus, they're like winter in cloth form.

2. You aren't the only one dressed in rain coat and boats when you whether the storm with these mini people umbrellas. Your parade will never be rained on again!

3. Make a bird take flight, a duck quack, Toby the dog wag his tail and 30 more wall shadows with your slight of hand. Hand Shadows and More Hand Shadows is sure to keep children [and adults] entertained for hours on end.

4. Get more Ping for the Pong with this Dining Table Ping Pong Set that turns any table into a full size table tennis court. I'm thinking the outdoor table just got a whole new use. Game on!

5. Smart Ass is a fast-paced party game that requires no specific knowledge, so even if you're a dumb ass you can win. If you've ever been bursting at the seams to yell an answer when it's not your turn, this game is for you!

6. Turn any iPod or MP3 player into a karaoke machine with Dopi's video iPod karaoke system. You'll be the life of the party with this portable and compact kit.

7. If a penny saved is a penny earned, then this Doggy Bank is a friend you can bank on.

8. Go green and get juice from juice with a Fruit Powered Clock. Channel your inner Bill Nye by combining micro-electronic technology with the natural electrical potential of a fresh fruit or veggie.

9. Hang your hat on chromed steel Coat Hook Darts. Constructed with a special fixing to screw into nearly any surface, you'll actually welcome these dart holes on your freshly painted wall.

10. Razor's 250-watt Pocket Mod Bistro Mint travels up to 15 MPH for 45 minutes on a single charge. With a maximum weight limit of 170 pounds, this electric scooter isn't limited to just your mini.

11. Common sleep masks make for a dull night's sleep. Transform your visions with the X-ray Vision Sleep Mask, and if you like to wear your sunglasses at night, the Night Shades Sleep Mask is money.

12. Your kids will finally be able to cross the line with this cozy Crime Scene Scarf. Fun and funny, it definitely makes a statement.

Julia said...

my favorite is the scene of the crime tape. It would be so funny to wrap that around the front porch of my house and then invite some friends over. Might be good for April 1st.
