This Christmas season, college kids across Claremont will revel in the glory of not having classes and homework. With all this spare time, many may be wondering what the best method is for wasting the excess of time spent at home.
Seeing the family and friends may make for a well-spent Winter Break, but the internet is offering some fantastic gizmos and gadgets that could absorb just about all of one's waking life this upcoming month.
Here's a look at the best of this Santa's offerings this year:
1. Honey Baked Soybeans. Mmmmm. You've had the Thanksgiving Tofu Turkey, now it's time to make a new tradition with a Christmas Tofu Ham. This vegetarian monstrosity is sure to last you through the entire holiday break.
Get the recipe and make one your whole family can enjoy from www.vegweb.com.
2. When Razor Scooters don't cut it anymore. The talk of this Christmas season is the highly efficient, highly environmental and highly economical Segway Human Transporter. This little gyroscope-balanced device may be the invention of the decade.
By merely putting your weight forward and back, you can zoom through your neighborhood, drawing the cheers and jeers of all your friends. Preorder this gift for yourself or a loved one at amazon.com for a mere $5,000.
3. Set the mood for love. If you're going to be spending the holiday season under the mistletoe this year, consider buying a Bedroom Mood Meter from wonderfullywacky.com. This postable wheel lets you name your mood for your loved one to see, offering such options as "I took some Viagra. See you in 10 minutes" and "Don't wait up, I'm on the Internet." The joke lover in all of us will appreciate this nifty thing-a-majig.
4. Rubber Ducky you're the one. Also sure to keep you entertained for hours is a darling little rubber ducky, also offered from wonderfullywacky.com. This duck will bring hours of fun to any college student looking to unwind from finals in a warm, relaxing bath.
But this rubber ducky isn't any ordinary rubber ducky. It's a rubber ducky that's been swimming in a polluted lake for a little too long, and now has passed on to the other side. Bring yourself or your closest friend immeasurable joy by giving them a Rubber Dead Duck this holiday season.
5. But seriously folks... The real buzz of this December is those handy dandy digital cameras. Buy.com is offering cameras that even a college student can afford. With prices starting at $140, a digital camera is a sure way to keep yourself entertained throughout the break and provide a record of those crazy nights that even you may not remember. Then again, you may not have time to take many pictures when that Tofu Ham is still sitting over there on the counter.
