Riley knows a thing or two about the way toys are marketed to boys and girls, and she’s not about to conform to the standard.
We think she’s got a great head on her shoulders. What do you think?

Every year, we plough through the TechCrunch Gift Guide to get a feel on what’s cool and exciting for the holiday shopping season.
This year, we were extremely happy to find both Lite Sprites and Light Strike in their top choices for gifts!

TechCrunch Gift Guide 2011: Best Toys
Late last week, we stumbled upon a hilarious Ad for a snowblower.
At the time, it had reached ~85,000 (already an impressive feat), but over the weekend it has snowballed (excuse the pun) and garnered well over 350,000 views.
Here’s an excerpt:
This isn’t some entry level snow blower that is just gonna move the snow two feet away. This is an 11 HP Briggs and Stratton machine of snow doom that will cut a 29 inch path of pure ecstasy. And it’s only 4 years old. I dare you to find a harder working 4 year old. My niece is five and she gets tired and cranky after just a few minutes of shoveling. This guy just goes and goes and goes.
It really is a must-read. Click here for the Ad.
If you braved the stores for Black Friday, we commend you. Hopefully you’ve recovered from any bruised elbows squished toes and have set your sights on a click-crazy Cyber Monday tomorrow.
As always, there are plenty of deals to be had, and as long as your Internet provider can keep up with you, you’re sure to cash in on some sweet gifts for the holiday season.

Happy Monday!
An eventful weekend is just ahead of us with US Thanksgiving, Black Friday and finally Cyber Monday.
Will you be joining the masses to get some of your holiday shopping out of the way?
Here’s a quick Light Strike review we saw over the weekend that might help your decision process.
If you happen to brave the malls this weekend, be sure to pack your elbow pads!
“I could talk about these for ages as they are all flashy lights, fabulous sound systems and the only thing we were missing to make it a fully fledged laser tag type set up was the jackets. I can see the jackets being on the Xmas list this year. The boys were over the moon to be playing with this set, and I don’t blame them. Flashing lights, pretend guns and safe targets lets them play at superheroes and cops and robbers all day.”
