Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Cleaning is no fun. A dish brush that doubles as a bubble wand though? That’s a different story. If anyone is wondering what to get me for the holiday’s, you’ve just found a great stocking stuffer.

Know anyone who would want to sneak in a drink, but doesn’t want to be the guy carrying a flasks (somehow carrying a real flask is more than an accessory, it’s a lifestyle, probably a job-free one, and not one everyone is ready to dive head first into)? Get ‘em a disposable one instead. Sets of 3 will set you back just $15. Suddenly that bourbon they like to tote looks more like a Capri Sun and can go in the trash when they’re done. How fun is that?

And then there’s this fantastic Philadelphia Inquirer piece that has a picture so incedibly cringe-worthy I couldn’t put it up. Still, there’s no doubt about it, the world is talking. And you were there at the start. Enter promo code BUCKFRIEND to save 20%. Consider it step one in a very lengthy thank-you I’ll be saying all again and again throughout 2010 to everyone who helped make it a success. You guys rock!

The Super Ball doesn’t look so super any more, does it? Full disclosure: Vat19 is a Buckyballs sales partner. It doesn’t make the ball any less fun though.

Anyone who knows me knows my love of Guns N Roses continued long after Axl scrambled his face. So you can imagine my surprise when the first gift of the holiday season arrived on my doorstep (thanks K!). Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Guns N’ Roses.”Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Guitars and drums are traded for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells, and the volume is turned down from an eleven to a two. Rockabye Baby! is the perfect way to share the music you love with the littlest rocker in your life.” I don’t know how I ever slept without it. Help yourself to a soothing sample after the jump.

One button is all it takes to turn any one account into a handsome book your family will cherish for generations to come. No really. How fun is that?

It’s fun, tactile and modern, and whether or not you order one, trying to work out all the things you could type is good times.

Stuck on what to get that lovable but hard to shop for nerd who loves crafts, twitter, and short bursts of funny? Problem solved: Cross-stitches made from celebrity (or just plain normal folks’) tweets. Boom.

My office-mate Craig is always on the lookout for a cooler thumb drive. It’s not really my cup of tea… but I think I found his Christmas gift. I know what you’re thinking, ‘Why would he post that?’ There’s no way he reads this. I’m not even sure he knows I have a blog. It’s like I have a double life. How fun is that?

Got a dry mouth but still in of a way to gross out and torment those around you? Spit balls are safe and non-toxic but no less gross than the real thing. “Easy to make and fun to use, spit balls grow to 200x their original size and are slimy to the touch. Slip, slide, and bounce the balls until they explode on target.” I still have no idea what they are exactly, but seeing as they’re sold by Edmund Scientific, proud retailer of Buckyballs and other fine products, you know they’re good.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Edmund Scientific is a proud retailer of Buckyballs. Did I say that already?
