How to Find Zhu Zhu Pets

2009-11-23T21:01:00.004-05:00

How can you find Zhu Zhu pets, the robotic hamsters that are one of the hottest toys this Christmas season?

Unfortunately, there are relatively few retails attempting to carry these. The big three toy retailers, Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us appear to be the only nationwide chains carrying them. It's possible to catch them in-stock. It's easy to check stock on-line, but this may not be reliable. Calling local stores repeatedly seems obnoxious, but it's the most reliable way to get one. If it's convenient, stopping by in-person regularly is even better. Just politely ask if they have them in-stock and if they know when they expect a shipment.

The online route is expensive, but by the time you spend hours and hours hunting for one, it gets easier to see spending an extra $30-50 to just get it over with. eBay and Craigslist are of course popular places to find them, but Amazon has some sellers with Zhu Zhu pets in stock.

Finally, use your network connections. Let your friends know that you're looking for them. Use Facebook and email to multiply your efforts.

Best Digital Picture Frame for Mother's Day

2009-05-01T21:58:00.003-04:00

Looking for the best digital photo frame for your mom? The T-Mobile Cameo could be the big hit this Mother's Day season. It's the first picture frame that you won't have to teach your mom how to upload photos to. How? It's connected to the T-Mobile wireless data network. You just email or MMS photos right to the frame's address and they show up.

Think about it. Your mom could see photos from your vacation or the kids' plays and sports events before you even get home.

The Cameo isn't available online yet, but it's now $39.99 in T-Mobile stores. The wireless service is now only $1.99 a month.

Superhero Shirts

2009-04-14T09:25:00.000-04:00

Anybody can wear a Superman or Batman shirt, but real comic fans need shirts with logos from The Green Lantern, The Flash, Captain America, or my favorite, The Greatest American Hero.

Nintendo Controller Belt Buckle

I don't really understand why, but there are also Ducati Edition SD cards and Compact Flash cards, if you really wanted to keep your Ducati fetish hidden inside your digital camera.

Domain Names and Websites

2008-11-28T07:30:00.000-05:00

A great gift for a budding geek is a domain name and/or website. If the .com domain for their actual name is still available, snap it up now. For $10/year they can hang onto it for years without ever doing anything with it.

But if they want to do something with their domain, there are dozens of cheap webhosts for a few dollars a month. Or for free they can set up their domain on Blogger or Posterus. Posturus is especially good because if they can send email, they can blog.
