There are no neckties in this gift list. Not even funny ones. But there are some other fun items that will make your dad chuckle, and
that he’ll likely use at least sometime between now and next Father’s
Day and maybe even longer. Here are 10 fun Father’s Day gifts for new
dads, old dads, geek dads, golfer dads, foodie dads, and even single
dads….
With the Christmas season behind us, and the new year here, it’s time to
look at the coolest businesses that helped make the holidays magical
this year. Take note because these businesses made for a successful 2013
holiday season, and might just help make it a little more merry and
bright when it rolls around again in 2014. And what better time to think
about Christmas businesses than now – as we cross the threshold into
the no longer appropriate to have a tree up, or lights on – territory.
Nothing says holiday cheer like an unmanned aerial vehicle! In San Francisco’s Union Square, a drone decked out in tinsel and armed with mistletoe did some low-flying rounds over the heads of jolly folks, who were positively delighted at the excuse to engage in a little festive PDA. Ho! Ho! Ho!
It has begun – Santa has officially begun his run around the world in sleigh. Two major trackers have begun the tracking of Santa’s trip, both aiming for real Santa … Continue reading

The $500 TV Dinner
Posted in: Today's ChiliHow much would you pay for a ready-to-eat dinner? Most people wouldn’t pay more than five or ten bucks, but this luxurious food platter by Chef Charlie Bigham might just convince a couple of folks to change their minds – and their perceptions – of what TV dinners are.
Most of the ones you’ve already tried are probably of the frozen, microwaveable variety. They’re not all that bad, but they aren’t particularly good either. London chef Chef Bigham’s dinner tray, called “Swish Pie,” on the other hand, should be more than just delicious because a description of what it contains is already enough to make most people’s mouths water.
The finest British lobster, wild turbot, fresh diver-caught scallops, Balik smoked salmon and oysters, all poached in our exquisite Dom Perignon champagne sauce and nestled beneath fresh white Alba truffle, creamy mashed Yukon Gold heritage potatoes and a crunchy 24-carat gold leaf crumb. Served in a 24-carat gold leaf tray with an amuse-bouche of Beluga caviar.
To guarantee the safe arrival of the Swish Pie, each dish will be delivered in a bespoke aluminium case by a professional security guard – who will be handcuffed to the ready meal until it’s been delivered to its buyer.
The entire meal costs £314.16 or about $516(USD), and can be purchased from Charlie Bingham’s.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in China, thanks to the country’s many odd, offbeat and occasionally off-putting interpretations of Santa Claus. Though their origins can be found in traditional western depictions of Father Christmas, these sinicized Saint Nick knockoffs have strayed a lot further… into the nightmarish realm of the bizarre!
