Why not get a jump on holiday shopping with my "10 Wacky Gifts Under $50" story? It's chock-full of gift ideas for the neat-freak diva, wannabe surfer, and gadget dork in your life.

For instance, now there's a way to hit the waves in the winter, thanks to the Interactive Surfboard TV Game ($49.95) from Hammacher Schlemmer. It consists of a 40-inch long surfboard that plugs into your television and uses motion-sensor technology for realistic surfing motions. There are five levels of game play; the faster and higher the waves, the more control is needed to ride the surfboard and advance to the next level. Cool, huh?
