Hasta La Gadget!

There is nothing quite like recollecting all that had happened in the past, those snazzy adventures and near misses with the rest of your progeny around a campfire, roasting marshmallows in one hand while keeping warm with some hot chocolate in a mug in the other. The thing is, you can also do so indoors, but here we are with another different use for tasty marshmallows – as ammunition. Wait a minute, didn’t mother always tell us not to play with our food? Well, times have changed, and you can have some tasty fun with the $29.95 Rapid Reload Double Marshmallow Blaster.

This unique blaster will be able to pelt your targets with not one, but two barrels-full of plump, harmless marshmallows, and we are not talking about a short range, but rather, hitting your intended target up to 30′ away. Needless to say, the power that this thing packs makes me wonder whether there will be curious kids who would use other stuff apart from marshmallows as its ammunition, and this might be dangerous.

I played with Barbies when I was a kid, I can’t say it was a very lengthy period of my childhood.I guess Barbie just got a little boring after a while, although I owned a newer Barbie-type concept, it was a doll that came with 3 heads, so you could pop on a different one if you desired a different look. Looking back, it was more than a little strange. Looking forward… isn’t it amazing how far we’ve come?

Check out Barbie Fashion Photo Doll, with a camera lens lodged between her shoulder blades, whatever pictures you snap, Barbie can “wear” on her cool graphic tee! You understood it correctly, you can customize Barbie’s t-shirt by taking photos with the embedded digital camera and those pictures then show up on the shirt, as they are, or customized with some included special effects.

Barbie can hold up to 200+ pictures and the camera controls are cleverly incorporated into Barbie’s belt. For more design options, your little techie fashionista can plug the doll into a computer via included USB cable and have access to more backgrounds and graphics. Then, when she’s done, she simply uploads the pics back to the Photo Fashion Doll and her t-shirt “fashion” is complete.

The 11.5 inch Barbie comes complete with an embedded digital camera and LCD screen, a doll stand, a pink USB cord, rechargeable battery, and instructions, all for under 50 bucks at amazon.com (internet connection required for added editing effects)

One thing that is timeless about the game of Monopoly is this – greed is still an inherent trait in all of us, where we want more and more in our lives, so much so that owning a monopoly of things is always a good thing as long as we are the owners. Having said that, you might want to relive those classic Monopoly moments of your youth with your own kids this time around, but instead of playing on a usual sized board, how about treating them to something special? I am referring to the $149.95 Giant Monopoly Game that will include playing pieces that are 150% their normal size, accompanied by an oversized board to boot.

The board itself is built with solid wood stained and varnished for a subdued gloss finish befitting wealthy industrialists, measuring 30″ x 30″ in size while including a 20″ x 20″ recessed well lined with smooth green felt so that you can place the 3″ x 5″ Chance and Community Chest cards within. The well is also perfect for rolling the game’s 1″ cu. dice. The entire raised playing surface tips the scales at 12 lbs., so flipping over this board when you lose is not a good idea as someone is gonna get a hurt real bad if the board flies off in the wrong direction.

Have you ever wondered just how it would feel like digging up roads during peak hours, causing inconvenience to the masses simply because you are following orders from the top management who do not seem to know what’s going on on the ground? Well, I suppose you can give your little one a taste in the life of one who rides and operates a tractor for a living with the $199.95 Ride On Double Digger.

To put it in a nutshell, this is the ride-on loader and backhoe which enables your little one to not only sit on it, but to dig and dump sand into the included trailer. Both the articulated loader as well as backhoe can be controlled through levers and handles which are easy for tiny hands to operate, and good thing there are no engines to keep this running as it is pedal-powered, meaning you need not burn more money on gas. Heck, there is even a steering wheel that works great to inform the family dog or cat to get out of the way. The chain drive system is fully enclosed so that pant legs will not get caught while pedaling, but of course one should always use this under adult supervision.
