Remember how annoyed you were to have to listen to this person talk and talk and talk and then have that horrible, horrible song stuck in your head? Next time, give that friend the  Nightmare Snatcher Journal by Spiderbite, where she can write down all her worst night frights in the pages of a fuzzy notebook with eyes and a mouth.

You might also want to give her the name of a good psychotherapist. ‘Cause anyone who dreams about Corey Feldman is probably in a very dark place.

From $25, on Etsy.com

2. Star Trek Interactive Tribble, $19.99

3. Santa Dreidel, $4.95

4. Chumps Mini Series Art Toys, $7.95

5. Zombie Haiku book by Ryan Mecum, $9.99 (No, really. It’s an entire zombie story told in Haiku form.)

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.

Many of the series, including Dunny (shown here, $6.95 each), are sold in blind assortments–there are a series of designs available, but you don’t know which one you have until you open the box. This can, of course, lead to copious purchasing of little vinyl designer art toys in an attempt to “catch ‘em all.” But the beauty of the pieces is that they stand alone just as well as they stand side by side or lined up in rows as if they’re a little action figure army.

$48 from Coach

As in, the game comes with 133 of them. Take that, Pop-O-Matic Trouble!

The object of the game is to advance on the game board by performing different tasks with the variety of dice. . . For example, you may be asked to name as many state capitals as the number you’ve rolled. Or you may be asked to make a stack of 6 dice in 30 seconds. Or you might be asked to leave game night, if you eat all the dip and spill creme soda on the game board.

There is also a kid’s version of the game that comes with 13 dice. . . because with kids, anything more would be dicey.

Regular version (ages 12+): $24.95; Kid’s version (6+): $14.95. Available at BarnesandNoble.com and at select Barnes and Noble stores.

Philosophy Warm By the Fire Gift Set
Double Hot Cocoa Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Bubble Bath; Melting Marshmallow Creme Body Soufflé, Ooey Gooey S’mores Flavored Lip Shine $24.95 from Philosophy. Available at Sephora.

Bacon Soap (Relax; it smells like vanilla.) $24.95 from Grateful Palate.

Frosty the Snowman Holiday Gift Set
Contains one Frothy the Snowman Bubble Bar, licorice and vanilla-scented and rolled in real coconut (turns into bubble bath when you mercilessly melt him under the flowing water of your bathtub) and a bar of minty soap. $13.95 at Lush.

Not every fan of the Great Big Mouse (AKA Mickey) can make it to Great White Way (AKA Broadway) to take in one of Disney’s stage adaptations of their beloved screen musicals. But now, thanks to Disney on Broadway’s new Web shop, the exclusive merchandise previously only available to patrons of Broadway’s slate of Broadway shows (which currently includes The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Mary Poppins) can now be purchased by anyone sitting in their apartment at 3 a.m. dressed like Mary Poppins and insisting that “Julie Andrews only portrayed me in a movie about my life.” But enough about my Dad. . .

To paraphrase from another musical starring Ms. Andrews as a nanny to difficult children with hearts of gold, here are a few of my favorite gift options for the Disneyphile in your life:

I really dig this replica of Mary Poppins’s parrot-head umbrella ($39.99). Sadly, the bird does not speak. Happily, it doesn’t poop on your head, either. There’s also a child’s-size umbrella and an ornament rendering ($20.50).

A Mary Poppins carbet bag key chain might not hold an endless supply of spare change ($9.95), but it’ll have your recipient happy enough to be singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidoscious–which, by the way, is spelled out on a shirt ($19.99 for kids; $24.95 for grown-ups).

Over at The Little Mermaid, you’ll find a replica Dinglehopper fork-shaped hairbrush ($10.50 and very confusing for those not familiar with the story), as well as a lovely charm bracelet ($50.50)
and several t-shirt options for children.

And representing The Lion King–the patriarch of Disney’s presence in midtown Manhattan, is a fabulous special edition Simba ornament ($19.95 and a unique set of coloring cards based upon the show’s design ($9.95).

Merchandise is also available for fans of the departed shows Tarzan and Beauty and the Beast, as well as the not-so-Broadway High School Musical Tour. Not available: Commemorative dancing Herbie Dolls from The Love Bug: An Opera In Seven Acts. Not available, because the show doesn’t exist. . . YET. I’ll see my vision come alive someday!

Now, I could end this post with some spiel about happily ever after, feeling Happy instead of Grumpy or Dopey, or sprinkling fairy dust, etc., but instead, I’ll end it in typical Monday fashion with. . . a giveaway! Please leave a comment below, and you’ll be entered to win a Little Mermaid on Broadway Snow Globe! It plays “Part of Your World.” It snows, even if there’s no snow under the sea!

It’s magic, see?

And we’ve got even more magic this week. If you subscribe to our RSS feed, you’ll be given 3 additional entries – that’s a total of FOUR chances to win this gorgeous Little Mermaid Snow Globe. Just subscribe, then come back and let us know in the comments that you did.

Giveaway ends Sunday, 11/23/08, 11:59pm ET.

Three socks.

Two feet.

One sock stays home.

None of them match.

That makes it fun.

These particular knee highs cost $12.

There’s also anklets and fuzzy socks and tights and other stuff. Yay.

I think I want some cocoa now.

How about those Mets?

Did you see Grey’s Anatomy last week? It was, like, poignant.
