Loosen your belt!
Are you ready for the long Thanksgiving weekend? We’ll be impatiently waiting for our bacon-wrapped bird to roast while lamenting that dual-wielding pickaxes in Skyrim doesn’t let us mine twice as fast. All this while wearing our comfy pants. It will be glorious!
To those who will brave the malls this weekend, we salute you. Good hunting! Ooh, and one last thing: don’t forget to enter our $1,000 shopping spree before 11/25/11!

There are morons and then there are morons and then there is Wheatley. Still, he did help Chell in his own special way, so he must be good for something, right? Well, in fact, he makes a tremendous pocket flashlight! While Wheatley might not have been the brightest personality core in the bunch, this collectible flashlight sure is. The solid design is finely detailed with movable handles. On top of the core is a button and when you press it, Wheatley’s blue eye comes to life and lights your way.

In the days of olde–so old, they used an extra e–snowball fights were different. They didn’t just pick up and throw ’em. Oh, no. They used flinging and hurling devices. In ye olde snowball fight manuals, one can view the original designs of the Snowball Crossbow, feared by snowmen hither and yon. Or bring your game to the Grid (lasers not included) and use the Launcher to scoop up a perfectly formed snowball and take aim at the daft punks who think they own the snow. See what we did there?

Pie is superior to cake in the dessert hierarchy. Why? Because only pie masterfully blends sweet and moist with salty and dry while bringing every taste imaginable. Want a pie made out of meat? Easy. Chocolate pie? Done. Cherries Jubilee pie? Please. It used to be that making a pie required channeling Betty freaking Crocker in the kitchen, but no longer! Now make 4 mini pies in minutes using our new Personal Pie Factory. Store-bought frozen crust, a few spoonfulls of your favorite filling, and in 10 minutes, you’re rolling in pie–figuratively speaking, we hope.

Hello. Nice to meet you. I’m a legitimate Tic-Tac-Toe playing book and I am fully capable of beating your soft, fleshy mind at Tic-Tac-Toe without the aid of any human operator of any kind. I know everything there is to know about Tic-Tac-Toe. I’m an artificially intelligent expert system with one purpose: to totally dominate you at Tic-Tac-Toe. Go ahead and challenge me to a friendly game. I’m ready for it. In fact, you could say I was born ready. I wasn’t really born, of course; instead, I was immaculately printed and delivered into your hands to play Tic-Tac-Toe against you and win. Did I mention I’m very good at Tic-Tac Toe? Yes. I am ready to play. Good luck, you’ll need it.

When we first featured our giant plush Red Bird modded into a head covering, we were inundated with requests to get Angry Birds hats. Here they are! These Angry Birds Plush Hats will keep your bird brain warm this winter. Strap it on your head before you launch yourself to the grocery store to pick up some birdseed and bacon. Now all you need is a human-sized slingshot and a friend willing to wear the Pig hat and sit under a cardboard box.

Your gadgets need plugging into the wall pretty regularly, but if you’re going to be out and about, you may have to choose between checking your twitter feed and being left in the dark. Step out into the light, because this gadget bag can harness the power of the sun! Photons are whizzing by at almost 186k mph. Interrupting their travel with some silicon embedded in this bag knocks electrons loose which can be harnessed, giving your mobile phone a jolt, adding as much as 1000mA in full sun. Cloudy day? No problem. A built-in Li-Ion battery can make up the difference until the sun peeks out again.
Piggyback Solar Powered Gadgetbag – Free photons!

Your Pongo set also comes with two paddles with retractable handles, two ping pong balls, and a drawstring pouch that can store everything when you’re between games.

LittleBits are like LEGOs for electronics. Just like you can snap LEGO bricks together to build a castle, you can snap LittleBits together to prototype your next electronics project. It’s as simple as snapping two magnets together! Each bit has a function–light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, and pulse–and when you snap multiple bits together, you can create larger circuits to do more complicated things. This kit includes 10 snap-together modules, a carrying case, instructions, and a 9V battery to power your creations.

Everyone is always out looking for planets to land on and colonize, but what about just random, tiny space rocks? They need some love, too, ya know. So, we found a tiny space shuttle, built out of the tiniest building bricks around. (The smallest of the bricks is 4mm x 4mm x 5mm!) Over 580 pieces are waiting for you to assemble them into the shuttle, booster rockets, and launching platform. You’ll have to use your imagination for astronauts, as we couldn’t really find any super tiny ones to include, but we know you can do it. With your NanoBlock Space Shuttle, you’ll be exploring the tiniest parts of space in no time.
