Galliano liqueurs is now selling Christmas spirits with inspirational underwear. Suggested Celebrity Endorsement: Monica Lewinsky or Sisqo.

Portable Skating Rink Yes, you can turn your backyard into a skating rink, provided the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Nanny Cam Holidays are about the kids. But you can’t be around the kids all the time. Or can you? Go ahead. Keep tabs on the baby sitter with a Nanny Cam.

The $15 Million Bikini

Human Bones Are you spending an arm and a leg for Christmas gifts? Well, a real human arm and a leg can be yours for as little as $515 (hand included). If you want to go for a full human skeleton, that’s $2,000. Suggested Celebrity Endorsement: Jack Kevorkian.

Bug-Zapping Wand
