Seriously. Who doesn’t like to get gadgets and gizmos and toys? I don’t know anyone — every age group included — that wouldn’t absolutely love a talking robot.

Here are – in no particular order – my top five favourite gadget gifts for anyone this coming holiday season:

Mattel Mindflex Game – $100

This game is perfect for that stressful student or co-worker in your life as it’s very calming. It combines advanced technology with the power of thought to create an interactive experience unlike any other. It’s a great party game for the whole family and will make the geek in you gleeful.

Brando Tiny USB Rechargeable RC Helicopter – $40

My father (who, coincidentally, is not a 15 year old boy) purchased this helicopter this past weekend when I was visiting. He has always had an attachment to remote control toys and really loved this one in particular. It lights up and whirrrs and is one of the coolest remote control helicopters I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen plenty, trust me.

Star Wars Interactive R2D2 – $200

r2d2Collectors young and old will appreciate the details of this Star Wars Interactive Electronic R2-D2 Astromech Droid. Complete with movie-accurate messages and flashing lights, this droid responds to voice commands and has a special arm designed to keep your beverage handy. This friendly robot is designed to be a fun companion for kids aged eight and up.

This must have taken so much work! And for what? They didn’t win… not even once!

Okay, so maybe the work was worth it, even if they didn’t win.
