Four hamster are currently available: Chunk (white) is an easy-going surfer who likes to lay back and hang out. NumNums (grey), as the name implies, enjoys snacking as well as a friendly cuddle. Pipsqueak (yellow) is the bold one of the bunch. Squiggles (brown) has more of the “been there, done that” attitude.

Regardless of the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster you select, your kids are sure to love their interactive toy pets. Each one has two separate behavior modes. Explore mode lets you play with and watch your hamster display its unique personality as it interacts with their environment. Loving Mode gives you time to pet and cuddle your hamster or smile along as they squeak and coo. Similar to the real thing, Zhu Zhu pet hamsters scamper and scoot around randomly, bringing hours of pleasure to the owner.

Additionally, you can choose from several different Hamster Habitats for the pet hamster. Remember, each Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster will interact with the habitat in its unique way. The collectible habitats add a whole new level of fun, making then seem even more real! While they are fun on their own, the habitats let you and your pet do even more together.

Having more than one pet makes for even more fun. You never quite know what they will do next, but whatever it is, it will be lots of fun. Experience the thrill of your own Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster and you’ll understand why it’s such a hot toy this year.

The Settlers of Catan is a board game, but not like Monopoly or Candy Land. At its heart, the The Settlers of Catan is about cooperation and discovery, and players are not eliminated as the game progresses.

Settlers is one of the hot games of 2009, but it was first introduced in Germany in 1995. That same year it won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year). Since that time many expansion packs and variations have been released, including electronic versions. The timelessness of the game is one reason why it is a hit for this holiday season.

The action takes place on the island of Catan. Players explore the terrain, build settlements and compete for resources. However, this is all done in a non-violent manner and players are not eliminated. You don’t win through destroying your neighbor’s resources or attacking them. Bargaining with fellow players by planning ahead and striking deals is the key to coming out ahead.

The Settlers of Catan is in a constant state of flux at every turn, because the island is discovered during play. Sometimes this is good for you, other times it is not. That is why the spirit of cooperation is so important. In simple terms, each player can benefit from the deals they make and is likely to do poorly if they try to go it alone.

Unlike other board games, the Settlers of Catan is a different experience every time it’s played. It is easy to learn but has a depth that makes it endearing. Plus, there are plenty of variations and expansions available, allowing you to explore a whole new world, instead of a “simple board game”.

Take someone along on the trip to Catan for the holidays, and you will find they want to keep going back. This is one game that is destined to quickly become a family favorite.

The motto for the Mattel Mindflex Game is “Think it. Move it. Believe it.” Those who believe in psychic powers or telekinesis will enjoy the game at one level, while those who are firmly grounded in science and logic will appreciate it on another level.

“Think it” explains how the game is played. It moves ball with a fan that is powered by your ability to concentrate. The fan receives this information via a headband device that transmits the power of your brainwaves to the game unit.

“Move it” refers to using your mind to, ultimately, make the ball move. You use the power of your mind to raise and lower the ball, and use your hand to adjust the position of the fan, allowing the ball to move left and right. At first it’s a bit foreign trying to focus the mind, but once the ball rises just a little bit, you’re hooked!

“Believe it” is exactly what you’ll do once you harness the power of your mind to move the ball. Soon everyone will be amazed at your “powers” to maneuver the Mindflex ball in different ways. Then they will want to try it, too.

The game comes with nine different obstacles that can be arranged in dozens, if not hundreds, of variations. You can also play Mindflex without any obstacles for an easier game, or less competitive experience.

5 game variations can be selected. Freestyle is perfect for beginners. The obstacle course is more advanced (though it’s customizable based on how challenging you want it to be). Other variations of the Mindflex Game include: Chase the lights, mental marathon, danger zone, and thoughtshot.

Mindflex makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in the powers of the mind or looking for a unique game that mystifies as it entertains. In short, it’s sure to be a hit for just about anybody on your holiday shopping list, but you better hurry, because once the word gets out this game will be flying off the shelves.
