Rolling Stone magazine named BuckyBalls “Toy of the Year” for 2009 and now it’s your turn to have some addicting magnetic fun.

They’re kinda like legos with all the shapes you can make, but they are complete spheres, and they stick to each other, or your refrigerator, super easy. Made from rare earth magnets they are super powerful and super addictive some people even forget their cigarette addiction. Whaa!?!

Buy your set of 216 Bucky Balls from ThinkGeek today. Watch the video to learn more about how awesome these little shiny balls really are.

More hands on video action of Bucky Balls available at PerpetualKid. Only$29.95!

Let’s take a look in the “oh oh oh! gimme gimme, I neeeeed it, I’m sure” category. Here we are: A $30,000 humongous three dimensional spherical labyrinth aptly titled “The Superplexus”. Check it out.

It’s large, 36 inches in diameter, and holds a hand made wooden track longer than a football field if laid out flat. The object, like other labyrinths, is to roll the marble from one end of the track to the other without falling off the track. I particularly admire the “complex network of chicanes, multi-planar hairpin turns, spirals, and staircases–even a vortex.” Wow a vortex! I’m stoked already!

More importantly I saw a tie-in with autistic/spectrum kids when I read ” … [this] challenges the limits of your manual dexterity and spatial understanding …” from Hammacher. This relates to how Google has found that “people with autism tend to be visually and spatially gifted” from their SketchUp 3D software.

How’s that for awesome? I say let’s all buy one right now!

Could three mis matched socks be the perfect stocking stuffer? What first sounds like a typo is actually a clever way to get more out of your wardrobe.

Everything from Little Miss Matched is more than meets the eye. Coordinating prints and colors are the secret. The best example is the Bed in a Bag – which uses reversible sheets and pillows – creates up to 192 combinations. Most of the items are for girls, but there are sizes from infant to adult. My favorite sock choices are the Houndstooth anklets and Black Bubble Knee Highs.

For girls who like variety, Little Miss Matched is a perfect combo.

P.S. Flat rate shipping is $5.95 on every order, no matter what the size. Yay!
