A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

Some of my friends might say I can get a wee bit competitive when it comes to board games. Maybe I've collected a lot of pop trivia over the years, am amazing at drawing with my eyes closed, or have an underestimated grasp on pretend real estate, either way, they're a great way for kids and adults alike to spend an evening TV free.

One of the newer games on the market and my hands down personal favorite is Cranium WOW. This most recent edition test your skills in many embarrassing and surprising ways.  With 600 cards and 15 activities, you have to hum, sing, draw, act, sculpt and your solve your way to the center of the board. Kids will love the silliness of the game and adults will never play charades again. If you're a fan of the classic games, check out some of the newer editions with a twist like Pictionary Man, Monopoly: Here and Now: The World Edition, and Sorry Sliders. So whether it's any occasion, you can't go wrong with the gift of fun.

Cranium Wow starting at $24.99.
