Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A clever little electronic ball that will guess what animal, vegetable, or mineral you're thinking of.
Why we love it:
Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral? The 20q ball starts out with that same old familiar question but this isn't the same 20 questions game you played on long road trips as a kid, this is a whole new experience. This little gizmo will ask its 20 questions and then guess, with surprising accuracy, what it is you are thinking of. No, they haven't managed to make a telepathic computer just yet, but the 20 questions ball is so sophisicated it might make you wonder. Watch your recipient go from skepticism, to amusement, to slack-jawed amazement as the 20 question ball completely confounds them. Expect to hear a lot of, "How did it know I was thinking of broccoli? It didn't even ask me any questions about broccoli." It's great for long trips, and guaranteed to impress even the most tech-savvy and cool recipients.
Who we'd give it to:
Road trippers and frequent travellers, gadgeteers, teens, people who are thinking of something that's bigger than a breadbox.
Where to get it:
From
Amazon.com for $9.99 (that's mineral).
