Whether you consider yourself a geek or a collector of all things cool, ThinkGeek has an abundance of amazing
gadgets, toys, t-shirts, and electronics. I've done reviews and giveaways for ThinkGeek in the past and have been fascinated with their products every time. I don't consider myself a geek, but I could spend hours browsing all the neat items that ThinkGeek has to offer.
If you are a Star Wars fanatic, you'd be amazed at all ThinkGeek has to offer for the movie fans. Take the
Star Wars Han Solo Carbonite Chocolate, for instance. Officially licensed, the dark chocolate bar is molded to look like Han Solo frozen in carbonite. It comes encased in a gift box. Logan and Adam ate this chocolate bar up almost as quick as I got a picture of it. They said it was one of the coolest looking pieces of candy they'd seen and it was yummy delicious. They also mentioned that the plastic packaging the chocolate is in almost looks like a vault, making it look like Han Solo is trapped inside and trying to get out. So they chanted "Free me! Free me!" while munching on the head and arms of Han Solo.
Bananas are eaten about as quick as they're brought in the house, so I thought it'd be a hoot to try out the
Grow Your Own Banana Tree greenhouse. The kit comes with everything you need to grow bananas. Once the banana tree (that's actually an herb) sprouts, it will grow about a foot the first month. Included are banana tree seeds, a windowsill greenhouse, planting mixture, and instructions. Juliann and Emma have been taking care of the seeds, following the instructions, and waiting patiently for anything to sprout. Right now it's cold weather where I live, so we have to be careful not to let the greenhouse near the windowsill when the temperatures drop. We're still waiting on any bananas to form, but we're excited to see what may come about.


Shelby has been rockin' out with the
Ladies Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt. What makes this shirt special is that the guitar decal on the front plays like a real guitar with music. All power cords are recorded from a real electric guitar, so you can strum out all you want. The included mini amp clips to your belt and has volume control. The sound quality is clear and it's pretty loud when turned up at full volume. The shirt itself runs small, so it's best to order one size up. Shelby may not know how to play a real guitar in real life, but she can semi-sorta have some serious strummin' skills when wearing this shirt.
To clean the shirt, the decal comes off the front and the amp unplugs. Once the shirt is clean and dried, the decal gets pressed back into place and the amp connects back to the ribbon part of the shirt. The shirt requires 4AAA batteries for the amp, and they're not included.
I've watched episodes of Dr. Who from time to time and understand there's a cult following of the popular sci-fi show. My kids don't have the first clue about Dr. Who. That didn't stop Adam from thinking The
Doctor's Nano-Recorder is pretty darn awesome. It is a voice recorder that lets you record a message for up to ten seconds long and flashes a red light. It requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included, and looks like something from outer space. The boys like to record goofy messages on it and ambush their family members with surprise messages and red lights.
