Funky Monkey Snacks are a healthy option to send to school or take to work as a snack. Instead of high in sugar, fat, or salt, try these!

Did you know that Funky Monkey snacks come in both 1oz bags (three servings of fruit) and 0.42oz bags (1 serving of fruit). The smaller size are the perfect fit for most kids’ lunch boxes, pack a bag of these instead of chips!

Little Man is a huge fan of both dried and dehydrated fruit, and so is the hubs. Kamikaze eats anything that doesn’t move too fast, so that’s a no-brainier.
Me- not so much. I really prefer my fruit fresh, and not really any other way. I don’t like it canned or preserved or anything, either. What can I say, I’m a purist!
Little Man liked all but one of the 7 varieties- that’s always good! And Kamikaze? All. (Shocking, I know!)

If your children own a computer, you will find gifts on the Think Geek website. If you have a husband, boyfriend, brother, son, male friend or relative- you will find great gifts on this website. If your daughter, sister, friend, has a quirky sense of humor- she will love a gift from this website.
This is, by far and away, one of my favorite places to shop for gifts (and a “go to” place as well) and I think you will see why!
Think Geek! This is a fantastic and fun website, and one we have been fans of for years. They carry unique, quirky, and just plain FUN stuff for any age. Nothing boring, nothing!
My husband is a pretty geeky guy, there would be no point saying otherwise, LOL. He is big into all sorts of things I have no idea about- video games, computers, Sci-Fi, comic books, etc. He even likes math and science- like, the chemistry and the algorithms and computer languages and stuff like that. Have I mentioned that he is an accountant with a computer science degree, who brews his own beer with his Chemical Engineer best friend while they watch Japanese horror movies?
(And other various gross horror D-list flicks)
I am making none of that up, I promise. 🙂
Where to shop for the Geek in your life? Not an easy task, as many of you are aware, I’m sure!
Enter- Think Geek!
They have the coolest stuff! Have a Star Wars fan on your gift list? Look no further!
They have great stuff for fans of all ages! They sent a Scanimation Star Wars Book for Little Man- he LOVES these kinds of books! They are so neat, when you turn the pages, the pictures “move” along the page.

There are so many other Star Wars products- look around and see what catches your eye!
Maybe yours is a video game fanatic? Look at these!

Don’t know what they are? That’s OK, I didn’t either, LOL. I had the hubs assist in this one! They are from two different games, the crazy cube is a “Companion Cube” from a video game called Portal- I know, it looks kind of effeminate, but I assure you, if he liked the game, he will LOVE the cube. The hubs apparently had been wanting one, and when he was showing it off to his friend, the friend was very jealous. They both told me that this game was the reason I had to make pie for my husband’s birthday- because “the cake is a lie”.

The following makes sense to Geeks! To Mom Bloggers, it will merely confuse and bewilder….but it’s funny!
“Please take care of it!

Straight from the Vital Apparatus Vent comes the Weighted Companion Cube Plush. It will accompany you through the test chamber and generally be adorable and squishy. We expect you will take care of it while it is in your possession. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube Plush cannot speak, threaten you, or stab you. (That paranoia you feel is totally normal.) In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, we urge you to disregard its advice, especially if said advice pertains to the veracity of cake.
The best thing about the Weighted Companion Cube Plush is that you never have to euthanize it. That’s right, friends. Unless you happen to have an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator in your house, there’s no reason to incinerate your cute lil’ cube friend. (Studies have proven that those 8 out of 10 Aperture Science engineers were wrong and the Weighted Companion Cube does in fact feel pain upon incineration.) You may have incinerated one or two Weighted Companion Cubes in your time, but now is time for penance. Squeeze it, feed it cake, and love it long time.

This is one of those products that is not only cute, it’s useful! Coolkidz, made by Keen Distribution, is a cold pack that goes in the freezer, and is just the right amount of coldness for boo-boos. (It will make them feel better, but won’t freeze their little fingers off.)
There are quite a few characters to choose from. This cute “buddy” will also be a welcome distraction when your little one gets an owie. When our fishie came, as soon as Little Man saw it, he claimed that his head hurt, his elbow hurt, his knee hurt, LOL. So many maladies for the little fish to cure!
I let Little Man “fix” his imagined boo-boos with the Coolkidz fish, and then into the freezer it went to be saved for real ones!
