So what makes this one so awesome? Well, of course there is a whole new group of worlds and levels, but there are all kinds of new things as well. If you play multi-player, you get to play at the same time. When I played, it was two of us playing together. You can pick up and throw each other to help get through parts of the level. We found, however, that it was more fun to pick each other up and then proceed to throw the player into a bad guy or down a hole. Good fun!

There are new costumes for the players, and you can play as the traditional Mario and Luigi as well as a couple differently colored Toadstool characters. The fun really doesn’t end. And if you’re like me and would rather play using your thumbs than swinging the controller around, don’t worry, this is played with the classic style controller. There is a bit of shaking involved, but it isn’t extraneous.

So go over to Target.com and pick this game up for you or a friend!

Here’s how the little guy works. You choose the length of the snooze time from 0 to 9 minutes. Clocky will let you snooze one time. The next time you hit snooze, it’s go time! Clocky will bail off of the nightstand (or any surface safely dropping up to 3 feet) onto your carpet or hard floor and look for a hiding spot, beeping all along the way. The sheer frustration is sure to wake up the snoozy sleeper.

There are plenty of other things Clocky does such as light up the display when you hit snooze when the alarm isn’t activated, warn you well in advance when the battery is low, and can even be put into stationary mode if you don’t want to chase him the next morning.

Help wake that sleepy head up!

Of course, the games are all in the neighborhood of $60, but that’s OK because its main purpose for many is as a Blu-Ray DVD player. Hot diggity dog!

So really, there’s not much reason to not get somebody a PS3 as a gift this year, really. It plays movies in 1080p, so if you have a nice new LCD or Plasma TV, hook this puppy up and you’ll be in HD heaven. Merry HD Christmas time!

I didn’t know that telescopes came with GPS, but this thing does. Apparently it figures out where in the world it is operating, then, according to that, it will locate cool stuff in space for you to look at! That’s crazy! I’d love to see one of these in action, but it’s quite spendy, so I’ll have to luck out and meet somebody with one I suppose.

Anyway, this could be a pretty fun gift to give to somebody. Just make sure they’ll let you come over and join in on the fun.

This particular gift idea is in the form of a heart-shaped glass Christmas tree ornament. There are 3 lines of text that can be personalized for anybody you choose, and with any occasion you wish to commemorate. It’s a high-quality ornament. You can choose from 6 styles of text and put any personalization you wish on it. The words are laser engraved and the whole thing comes in a velvet pouch with a drawstring, so it will stay protected for years and years to come.

This is a classy, yet inexpensive, way to show that you want somebody to remember a special Christmas for years to come.

I think it’s a great way to add some style to the pile of cheesy Christmas cards that are sure to show up in many mailboxes across the country. There are a good many different styles and color schemes. There are also a whole bunch of Happy Holidays cards to pick from.

That reminds me of another random tangent story. A good friend back home and his fellow associates came up with the most unoffensive holiday season greeting to use: “Peaceful Solstice!” I don’t believe there is any chance that a person could be offended by hearing someone say “Peaceful Solstice,” so feel free to use it!
