2. Sesame Street Old School, Volume 2, $26.99. Picture it: 1974-79. Mr. Hooper is still alive. Elmo has yet to be formed out of a devilish blaze of red felt. Richard Pryor reinterprets the alphabet. And Fonzie and Richie Cunningham brush their teeth.

3. Nick & Nora footie pajamas, $24.99 at Target.

4. The Wild Planet Spy Gear Spyfire, $14.99, can shoot foam darts up to 25 feet via remote control–or, if you’d like, convert it to a handheld and go all Terminator with your bad self.

5. Lip Smackers lip gloss, under $5 (click here for stores) in fun flavors like cotton candy and Cherry Coke. Because you totally want to look your best for that hottie in your Spanish class.

The coffee brews directly into a travel mug, perfect for those 8:30 classes. Add a pound of coffee to sweeten the deal.

By the way, hearing the term “Brew and Go” totally makes me think of The Sound of Music. You know, in Edelweiss, when Captain Von Trapp sings, “Blossom of snow, may you brew and go? Brew and go forever.” Oh, wait. That was “bloom and grow.” Live and learn. And do click on that Sound of Music link to watch a YouTube video of John Denver and Julie Andrews in a rare duet.

2. iPod Shuffle, $50

Yes, they may already have a bigger, prettier iPod. But these lil’ guys are great for working out and traveling.

3. Darts! Calendar 2009, $10.19

With magnetic darts and 12 different boards (one for each month, see?).

4. The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2008 , $11.20

Kitchen Pals Silicone Oven Mitt $19.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond (online and in stores. . . and beyooooooond!).

I like to stalk my cupcakes with the shark. I even whistle the JAWS theme song while I’m pulling scones out of the oven.

(I’m just kidding, silly. I don’t know how to make scones.)

For the pyro-enthused baker looking to kick up their game a notch, think about a culinary torch. ($31.95 at Crate and Barrel). Add a cappuccino créme brulee kit ($4.95, also at C&B) for testing out your buddy’s ability to set food aflame. And maybe, just to be on the safe side, throw in a new fire extinguisher. Safety first!

Take two Irish coffee mugs (These are $2.95 each at Crate and Barrel, but you can find them just about anywhere. . . except, like, gas stations.)

Add two irresistibly silly Teddy Bear Slipper Coasters ($19.99 + shipping at Perpetualkid.com):

And some gourmet cocoa or a pound of coffee, and you’re good to go.

(Sweeten the deal with some Irish whiskey or chocolate-peppermint stir-in spoons, which you can make yourself or find in the holiday section at Target, among many other places.)
