Shopping For Cubes

My friend Kat, an early childhood professional and mom, says that getting Rory's Story Cubes for her kids was the best few dollars she ever spent!  As somewhat of a student of child development, I can honestly say that the more creative stimulation (and especially parental praise for the creations) a child can get, the better.  Thanks, Kat!

So maybe this should be a "cubes post?"  How about the old standby, drive-ya-nuts Rubik's Cube?  Still crazy after all these years, and an important element in one of my favorite movies (makes me cry every daggone time), The Pursuit Of Happyness.  (Psst . . . it's out on Blu-ray)

Hmmm, cubes . . . cubes . . . CuBANS!  You can't buy the cigars from Cuba in the U.S., but how 'bout some really great men's cologne that LOOKS like Cuban cigars?  I really like some of their scents.  I think this is a VERY cool gift for any man-of-the-world in your life - even if it's yourself.

And while I'm on men's gifts, I couldn't resist these: A tank top for an old f*rt like me; a pocket projector to turn your ipod (and other devices) images into a big-screen projection for all to see; and a really great Braun electric shaver that is the highest rated by Consumer Reports.

So . . . let us digress from men's gifts and get back to the most perfect of geometric shapes, the cube.  This one is extremely cool, a puzzle/game that is "the future of puzzles, dual brain hemisphere stimulation," much more green and natural than video games, and good for "stress relief" and "boredom busting."

How cool.
