Pick the Perfect Christmas Gift for Your Loved One
Here's some great ideas for Christmas gifts in 2008! I've compiled this list from looking at wish lists on shopping sites and from actual sales data gathered from the internet.
For the 2nd year in a row, the Nintendo Wii will be the favorite target of gift buying. This year has seen a great addition to the Wii system in Wii Fit; a great way to lose weight while playing a video game. Nintendo continues to set the standard in gaming!Go check out my other picks for the Top Christmas Gifts of 2008!
Give the Gift of Motion Sensor For This Christmas : The Wii
Get them before they run out!
This has to be, by far, the #1 Christmas gift that you can give anyone.
Nintendo has stepped up this year to provide a ton of titles for the Wii, from Guitar Hero to Dance, Dance Revolution, to Madden 2009, to Super Smash Brothers. There is a game for everyone, and a ton of great games for interactive learning.
If your kids, husband, wife, or even your parents do not own one...GO BUY IT FOR THEM!!!

Pleo DinoSaur - The Ugobe Lifeform
This Thing is AMAZING!!!
The Pleo is a one-week-old dinosaur that will quickly grow to become one of the most fun and exciting members of your family.
From Amazon
The Senario Pleo begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, and from the moment he starts moving his individuality begins. Pleo doesn't simply do what he is told; he also develops his own unique personality, moods, and habits that are shaped by the time and experiences he shares with you. The Pleo can go from happy and curious to scared and surprised, and from playful and lively to sad and vexed, depending on a wealth of influences. From hatchling through infant, and all the way through his juvenile stages, Pleo will grow up and change in personality and understanding.
The Pleo displays an endless combination of gestures and vocalizations based on influences that are interpreted by Ugobe's Life OS platform of tools, technologies and AI (artificial intelligence). Users can find training tips and download enhancements to Pleo from www.pleoworld.com, but his programming merely sets his wheels in motion, leaving the true magic of his development up to you.
This lifeform is not intended for children under eight years old.

Pleo Technology
It Learns As you Teach It!
Get your loved one an iPod Nano for X-mas!
To explain the new genius feature, I can only quote from Apple.com...
*Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The Genius feature finds the songs in your music library that go great together and makes a Genius Playlist for you. It's like having your own highly intelligent, personal DJ.
The Nano can also play videos, and can rotate the video so that you can watch it with a better aspect ratio from the side. These great iPods also have games that you can download to be sure to make this a Christmas gift that everyone would love to have!

Fur Real Friends
The Cleanest Pets Money Can Buy
This oversized plush puppy has a soft coat and pleading eyes, just like a real dog. Get ready to start understanding three different barks and a whole range of movements that are playful and affectionate. With a real collar, a bone-shaped treat to share, and a brush for smoothing out his silky fur, Biscuit is ready to settle into your house. He'll quickly start wagging his tail and making happy puppy noises. An adoption certificate is included to make kids feel like real pet owners.
This playful pup has an incredibly realistic look that is sure to have kids grooming him, offering him snacks, and engaging in imaginative play. With so many life-like responses and an irresistible puppy face, Biscuit really lived up to our expectations.
Nine sensors allow Biscuit to respond when you pet him or issue a voice command. Your children will enjoy the appreciative sounds he makes when they pet his back and the discovery that if they hold a hand on his back he will lay down, if he is sitting, or sit up, if he is already laying down. Sensors in his nose and mouth prompt him to sniff when his nose is petted or chomp on his treat. Touch his left paw, and he will raise it to shake. A unique photo sensor in Biscuit's forehead prompts him to flinch, blink, or sneeze when you wave something in front of him.
Take a peek at the back of the bone-shaped tag on his collar to see all the commands he knows. You can ask him to "sit," "lie down," or "speak." He even knows how to shake and will nod or move his paws in excitement when you ask, "Do you want a treat?" Like any voice recognition technology, Biscuit can be tricked by background noise or speech that is unclear. You may want to help younger children practice speaking the commands loudly, clearly, and distinctly, so they are not disappointed by his confusion.
Based on how much attention you are paying to him, Biscuit cycles through different modes. After a few moments of non-activation, Biscuit enters hangout mode. In this mode, he will move his head a little, whine, or bark to grab your attention. After a few minutes in hangout mode, he'll lay down and go to sleep. Thanks to his photo sensor, he will go to sleep faster in a darkened room. If the lights suddenly come on when he's been asleep in a dark room, he'll lift his head and make a mumbling noise.
* Use the special adoption certificate to register your pet online and ensure that you and this adorable pup will be friends forever

ELMO LIVE!!!
For the times when tickling Elmo are just not quite good enough.
He's back...and more LIVE than ever! In this truly life-like creation, for the first time ever, Elmo seems to actually be speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, from Sesame Street. His mannerisms are right on target as his head bobbles back and forth as he speaks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose.
