What better gift to give a loved one this year than one that will make them more like us, the SmileyBloggers? Here are some items that have been keeping us occupied for the past few months which can provide a taste of the SmileyBlogger experience:


The Double Dovetail puzzle. Looks impossible to open, and up until yesterday, I thought it was. We passed this thing around the office to over a dozen people, and they twisted, pulled, froze, and probed it, with no success. We finally gave up and looked at the answers, which were elegantly simple. Make sure to hide the solution, so as to torture the recipient forever.


The USB Snowbot. My Halloween USB Pumpkin is starting to look a bit dated, so I'm going to update my Scary Seasonal USB Lightup Decoration to this SnowBot. I suggest you do the same for that special cubicle prisoner in your life.


5 pound bag of Jolly Ranchers. Sometimes, a four pound bag of Jolly Ranchers just won't do, and a six pound bag is just overkill. Our office manager was kind enough to get us one of these two days ago, and I haven't eaten any real food since. Makes a great stocking-stuffer/hernia-causer.



With gifts like these, you'll be helping your friends and family members improve themselves by becoming just a bit more like us, their favorite SmileyBloggers.

By the way, you really don't have to get me anything this year, but I have been good, so if you happen to have a spare one of these lying around, I wouldn't say no:

Sony VAIO 4.5" Notebook PC: $1,739.99

I'll walk it every day, I promise.
