Finding the Coolest Gift Ever 

Let's face it - most of us don't know what the heck to get each other for birthdays and special occasions...especially at the last minute.

It seems like there's an influx of new and exciting products - most of which are well out of our amicable price range, or are too conflicting in features and customer reviews on the internet. What's worse? Men have a hard time thinking about what to get for women. Women may not know exactly what men want, in turn - as there so many factors involved (brand loyalty, quality, price, durability, hype). Older folk don't know a thing about modern pop culture, or what today's kids and teens are interested in. And, everybody is sick and tired of [once again], getting a sweater from the Gap.

Think out of the box, and away from the gift card! Presented for your review is a list of what's new, hot, and a surefire "wow" gift for people of all ages, and both genders. Gander over today's hot items, from wearables, to personal electronics, toys, gadgets, and other great ideas that will be the conversation piece of the evening. Best yet - they're within range of your budget, too. Rejoice, for a Holiday without crappy gifts truly is a happy Holiday!

Coolest Toy Ever (for girls!) 

Think of it as a tangible version of the PC game "The Sims": the Pixel Chix toy series features houses, handheld controllers, vehicles and more that feature LCD screens overlayed on a 3D environment. Within their interiors are main character Pixel - an LCD character who interacts with friends, plays games, quarrels, carries on a pixelated life, and tries to gain control of the house with your help.

The mixture of these toys' fully 3D interiors mixed with the 2D characters that populate them make this one of the most innovative toy concepts of the year - you truly have to see it in action for yourself! The "replay value" of these toys expands greatly, as other "characters" and play sets connect with each other and increase character interactivity (they actually move from screen to screen!)
