The SpongeBob SquarePants Jewelry Line


Really? SpongeBob SquarePants jewelry?

It's true. The whole line is available at Zales, the place where tacky jewelry comes to die. Ouch. Sorry Zales but your stuff was crap before and now adding this to your stock just made it worse.

Of course, if you are a die hard SpongeBob SquarePants fan, you must be thrilled to death right now. So head over to Zales and show your SpongeBob pride! The line retails from $95-$350 and includes dog tags, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

Trick Your Kids Into Exercising


Sometimes you just need to fool them a little so they get what's good for them. Like when you sneak vegetables into their food without them knowing. Now you can sneak in a little exercise too. Behold, the FXB (Fun Xercise Bike)! The FXB is designed to make exercise fun for kids and adults by attaching a steering wheel video game accessory to a folding stationary bicycle. The FXB works well with the Nintendo Wii™ racing games such as Mario Kart™.

Retail price: $99 (Wii sold separately of course!)

I Love Jesus Underwear: A Perfect Holiday Gift


The "I Love Jesus" underwear are part of the new Piss & Vinegar line from Jason Sutherland. The underwear can be found in major department stores, select independent retailers and online at http://www.pissvinegar.com/.
