Merry Mazol Tov!  If you know an interfaith family that celebrates Chrismukkah, then they began their festivities yesterday and will be having fun until December 28th.  If they celebrate in true fashion they have their home decorated with a Menorah and a Christmas Tree, and they may celebrate by watching holiday movies like It's a Wonderful Life and enjoy some Chinese food.  If you are in need of a gift for those that celebrate this hybrid holiday then get these cool Chinese Takeout Containers from SatinBox, they also make a great gift for people that have the local Chinese food restaurant programed in their cellphones.  If you want to learn more about Chrismukkah www.chrismukkah.com/.

You know the Purple People Eater?  Well, this is what I am calling the Purple Penny Pooper.  It is a piggy bank that when it is full all you have to do is squeeze and it's backside opens up and sends the money right out. 

Now that's funny! 

To tell you the truth I was looking for a gift idea for my teenage neice when I saw this.  It's unique, it's humorous, it's purple, it has a purpose and you don't have to break it to get the money out.  Excellent gift for my neice.  I found this at Sundog Company.

Have you every seen those china cups with an image in the bottom that only becomes viible when you hold it to the light? This works the same way. A lithophane is a carved piece of material created from your photo. Where the material is the thinnest are the lighter parts of the image. With a light installed behind it, your Family Portrait Lithophane becomes a unique heirloom.

Light Affection can create one of these marvels as a night light or one of several sizes of framed potraits. Amazing!

Let me introduce you to Baku, the interactive Baboon.  A gift idea for kids that could be fun and delightful.  You can make him excited by tickling his feet and rubbing his belly and you can calm him down by holding his hand and patting his head.  He makes sounds and movements just like a real baby baboon!  He snores when he sleeps and if you ignore him he will let you know.

Thank goodness he has an off button!

"Wow man, that's cool!  It's like all the circles are moving.  How does it do that?"

Sound like something Bill or Ted would say?

Believe it or not, this is a cutting board.  I hope it comes with a warning because to me this looks like it could be dangerous.

This is awesome!  Don't you think this would be a cool way to give money as a gift?  It comes with removable tape so you can tape the bills together.  Just imagine, pulling and money keeps coming out, what a thrill.  Also could be used for a good gag gift.  Spilsbury has this gift idea.

This is a creative way to give a nice bottle of liquor as a gift.  Make them work for it!  This is the Don't Break the Liquor Bottle Puzzle that they have to figure out before they can get to the "real" gift.  They will push, pull, turn and twist, but will they figure it out before they get so frustrated that they just decide to break the bottle? Hopefully.  It's a game, just make sure you give this to the right kind of person.  Preferably, someone who likes puzzles, enjoys a challenge and will have patience when it comes to getting to drink the liquor.
