Let’s face it, people. Most of us are slobs. Muffin-loving slobs. Muffin-loving, Internet-surfing slobs. Now, give your muffin-loving slobby friend a USB keyboard vac. You plug it directly into your laptop, making it portable, practical, and perfect for stuffing into stockings. And also, for removing stuffing from in between the keys on your keyboard.

Mario Kart for Wii follows the tradition of addictive racing fun fans have come to expect from the zippy little plumber Mario and his gang. But the game only comes with one racing wheel–not a controller in itself, but a wheel you can slip a regular Wii controller into for more authentic game play. (Because, you know, nothing says authentic like cars that slip on magic bananas and shoot guided turtle shells at their opponents.)
A spare wheel is a great gift for someone who’s already got the game–and I love this soft wheel by Nerf.

Perfect for geeks, hipsters, wannabes, nerds, graphic designers, surly teenagers, funky teenagers, funky-smelling teenagers, and anyone who’d rather stare at a Boba Fett action figure than a still life of fruit.

It’s 1 a.m. and I’m not the least bit tired. Weird, since no one gifted me with this Caffeine Candy Sampler 8.0, which includes enough gum, mints, and candy to carry you through a serious all-nighter. I guess my zeal for the channel 11 “Honeymooners Viewers Choice” hour is reason enough for me to be awake.
