For the 8th day: I can think of a number of people who need one of these…can’t you?
If a Sonic Boom alarm clock can't wake you up, you're probably asleep for good! In addition to extra-loud beepers, their startling bed-quaking vibrators will rattle you out of any slumber. Variable tone and volume controls let you set the most effective alarm. Position the bed vibrator under the mattress or a pillow and it will pound the bed when it's time to wake up! Includes AC adapter.
Day 9: Back to serious geek-ness, Verbatim has just what you need with their latest thumb drives in 2, 4 and 8GB flavors. Actually the 8GB one was renamed by a friendly wag as a pinkie drive…see the pic and you’ll probably agree!

And finally for your favorite chef-geek, on Day 12:
Geek Cuisine
Mad Scientists, Potions Masters, and Head Chefs all have one thing in common: they have to make sure things happen at the right time. Attach a neck bolt, add a pinch of dried wormwood, or over-fry the sliced potatoes, and everything could be ruined. The Chef’s Quad-Timer line is designed for the serious home chef, the avid entertainer, and the modern multi-tasker. Designed to compliment today’s upscale home kitchens, dungeons, and laboratories, this unique product features an eye-catching form and progressive functionality.
The Chef’s Quad-Timer makes multi-tasking easy. It features an intuitive cooktop metaphor: the four colored lamps on the face of the timer visually connect what’s being timed with what’s on the stove. Running timers illuminate in green and flash red when expired. And the Chef’s Quad-Timer is easy to use. All settings are quickly adjusted using the rotary dial.
Have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy your shopping. See yah next year.
Aloha,
LOU
