Cool Christmas Toys!

With the holidays around the corner and the shopping madness sweeping the globe, I thought it might be fun to share cool ideas that we come accross. It's sometimes hard to think of good gift ideas, especially for kids, so I thought this could be a helpful resource.
If you haven't been to ThinkGeek.com, you should. In fact, just stop reading this and go check it out right now.
There are AWESOME toys for both kids, and those that are still kids at heart all over this site. Many of the cool toys I could post on this thread would come from this site. Feel free to post the things that stand out to you.
Check this out!

$34.95-You hide the monkey, the kid gets the wand that they use to track it. As they get close to the Monkey, it will sense the wand and begin to make noise. It's hid-and-seek with cheat codes!

Dude, quit being so darn adorable. Rex and you need to sit in the corner (together perhaps) for being so fucking cute. You get cuter by the minute. Stop.
I shall buy that toy for my little one. Thanks, adorable guy at the other side.

My son requires a flashlight when he goes to bed. However, the one he has now is a military grade flashlight that has like 40 LEDs (thanks grandpa). He came in my room in the middle of the night last week and I thought an Alien spaceship was entering the front door. It was TOO DAMN BRIGHT. I saw this on the same site, and then found it at Toys-R-Us for 5 bucks cheaper. The holder can be mounted on the wall using those 3M command strips. When it's lit, it flickers like a real torch. It looks like something from Indiana Jones! This, I think, is WAY cooler, and much less like an alien invasion.

I know right?!! Everytime I go to this site I get distracted and start looking at things I WANT. Lol, look at this shit:

I don't know about kids, but I do know most of the toys on ThinkGeek could keep my boyfriend amused for hours.
I'm actually going to get him a Firefly license plate border from there as a portion of his gift.

Are you a ThinkGeek spammer?
