Starting my shopping a little earlier this year, and am trying to scour the marketplace for some cool gifts. Thought it would be a good idea for everybody to share their unique/exciting/original/awesome gift ideas in one thread. I'll start.
Roboquad robot by WowWee
Full review from PC Mag
Buy it at Robotshop.ca
I can imagine hours of fun with this thing, especially with the cat roaming around taking swipes at it. I wonder how long the 4 "C" batteries last though. At any rate, looks pretty cool and isn't off the charts expensive at about $100-120 US.
