Hammacher Schlemmer

As holiday shopping season rolls around, we’re on the lookout for unique gifts and stores so you could buy something that’s just a little bit different. One such store is Hammacher Schlemmer, which has been selling unique and innovative high quality products for over 150 years. Their diverse product catalog allows you to buy one of a kind gifts for under $30, a 7-foot robot for a mere $50,000 and even a $108,000 electric car. Where else can you buy a portable 26 foot ice rink for your backyard?

We encourage you to visit their website or consider some of these unique products:


Next-Generation Robosapien Robot

Next-Generation Robosapien Robot

This is the next evolution of the Robosapien, capable of autonomous behavior and equipped with interactive sensors to recognize objects and respond to sounds. It can be programmed to execute more than 60 different movements, including dancing, exploring, lifting items, or bowling (ball and pins included).


Space-Saving Air-Powered Hockey Table

Space-Saving Air-Powered Hockey Table

This is the air-powered hockey table with a space-saving design that easily folds out of the way against a wall when floor space is needed for other activities.


Portable 26 Foot Backyard Ice Rink

Portable 26 Foot Backyard Ice Rink

Easy to assemble portable unit turns any backyard into an ice rink for parties, skating or hockey practice. No tools required.


Tabletop Wooden Sudoku Game

Tabletop Wooden Sudoku Game

This elegant wooden sudoku set comes with pre-numbered tiles and more than 1,000 puzzles to challenge sudoku enthusiasts who prefer to work conundrums with tactile components rather than pencil and paper.


Little Red Rocket

Little Red Rocket

Sleek battery-powered rocket is outfitted with working lights, push-button sounds, and a blast-off rumble. Easy assembly.


The Interactive Plush Pony.

The Interactive Plush Pony.

This plush pony is comparable in size to an actual Shetland and uses advanced electronics, integrated sensors, and puppetry to respond when it is touched, hears a sound, or detects changes in ambient light. When her mane is brushed she whinnies; when her ears are tickled she turns her head to see who is grooming her; petting her muzzle will cause her to sniff your hand.


Genuine Turkish Bathrobe

Genuine Turkish Bathrobe

This imported Turkish robe comes from the Denizli region of Turkey. Turkish toweling is legendary for its extraordinary thickness and absorbency.


Robotic Reptile

Robotic Reptile

This is the robotic dinosaur that has multiple sensors which detect sound, movement, and touch, allowing it to react to its environment with realistic biomorphic motions including running, stalking, turning its head, whipping its tail, and “sniffing” its prey before pouncing. The dinosaur responds to stimuli depending on one of its three moods, including Hungry, Satisfied, and Subdued.


6 1/2-Foot Santa's Day And Night Illuminated Train

6 1/2-Foot Santa’s Day And Night Illuminated Train

Unlike typical holiday sculptures that can only reveal their brilliance at night, this 6 1/2′ long Santa’s train is decorated with present-laden tenders, steam billowing from the locomotive’s smokestack, garlands, and painted stars, all of which give the train a three-dimensional appearance, making it noticable during the day.

Incredible Deal: Xbox 360 for $100 on Amazon

File under: Amazon, Daily Deals, Early Adopter, Electronics, Game Consoles, Games, Holiday Shopping 2006

Amazon

XBox 360 on Amazon

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, Amazon launches a new promotion it calls Customer Votes in which you the customer get to vote on a huge discount it will offer for a very limited time. Three of the four options sound interesting: Mongoose Mountain Bike for $30, Barbie for $10, and Prime Membership + $100 Certificate for $40. But, the one that stands out, and clearly leads with nearly 87% of the votes is an Xbox 360 Core System (usually $300) for $100(!).

So, how do you get in on this deal? Well, first, go vote to ensure that the Xbox 360 wins (unless you prefer a $10 Barbie, of course). Then go to this page on Thursday, November 23, at 11 AM Pacific (that’s 2 PM Eastern) and try to be one of the first 1,000 to order. If it sounds to good to be true, that’s because it’s too good and it’s true. Good luck!

Nintendo Wii on Amazon

Amazon will have the Nintendo Wii available for purchase the morning of Saturday 11/19 for $250. You can only purchase one and inventory will disappear very quickly. In fact, request for availability notices were 100 more than the number of consoles they’ll have.

Even though the first batch will disappear quickly, expect more inventory to arrive soon. To make sure you don’t miss out on these opportunities, we’ve embedded an Amazon Nintendo Wii product page and store in this post and at https://shopperism.com/wii. Bookmark either of these links and check often to see if available (I’m guessing you better get used to constantly hitting the refresh button). If it appears quickly click the buy button and it will take you through Amazon’s purchase process.

Limited Edition James Bond Spy Gear from Sony

With the release of Casino Royale, the 21st James bond film, Sony has launched a line of limited edition Bond-branded “James Bond 007 Spy Gear“.

Those of us who don’t work for MI6 can join the ranks of the Double-0 by purchasing a 1GB James Bond 007 Micro Vault USB Flash Drive or a James Bond 007 Cyber-shot® DSC-T50 Digital Camera. If you really want to raid Q’s laboratory, Sony is offering two black aluminum attaché cases, one containing a lightweight VAIO TX notebook PC, a privacy screen, and a Cyber-shot digital camera, while the other holds a pocket-sized VAIO UX notebook PC, a Bluetooth GPS receiver and a Cyber-shot digital camera. Both cases come with en exclusive welcome letter and a serialized acrylic photo certificate. Unfortunately, neither case contains the keys to the Aston-Martin.

Here is the product lineup:
