Connecting via wireless broadband to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Wii owners will be able to spend Virtual Console points to download selected classic games from NES, Super NES and N64 video game consoles.

Movies make great gifts for Christmas and here is a list of this year's hottest movies for both kids and adults.

Great DVDs for Adults

Planet Earth is quite simply the greatest nature/wildlife series ever produced. Following the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you'll ever experience from the comforts of home.

Great Movies for Young Adults and Teenagers

Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact.
Buy today for $14.99

High School Musical 2
What time is it? Time for High School Musical 2, the sequel to the Disney Channel smash that aired on Aug. 17, 2007 and became the most-watched basic-cable show ever. School is out, and Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) are looking forward to a summer to remember, but Troy also needs to make bank so he can go to college. As it turns out, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), the self-proclaimed primo girl of East High, has her eye set on primo-boy Troy, and gets him a job at the country club her parents own. It looks great for Troy when Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats are hired also, but when he gets preferential treatment from the club manager (Mark Taylor) and others, it puts all of his relationships in hot water.

Just about everybody gives a bottle of wine or two at Christmas time. It's the perfect gift for a party host or a casual friend. But that doesn't mean it needs to be a boring bottle of Zin. Get creative and give a bottle of wine your host will remember. Our pick is Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Red Merlot A vibrant red Merlot with aromas of berries and fresh herbs, followed by the varietal characteristics of red currant, green olives, sage and wild berries.

Even better, they have a lot of stuff you can personalize, which adds a nice touch. I even got free personalization on some Titleist balls.

Do Neck Ties Make Good Christmas Gifts?

2006-09-22T15:26:00.000-07:00

Neck ties are one of the most generic - and potentially impersonal - Christmas gifts. What makes a tie a good or bad gift really depends on who it's for. My brother-in-law likes to wear suits to work AND appreciates a good tie, so for him a tie makes a great gift, but there are a lot of people who are forced to wear the monkey suit to work who don't want to and couldn't care less about getting another tie for Chritmas. So I'd say unless you are buying for a very style conscious person, avoid the tie!

But if you're going to shop for a tie, you definitely need to check out. WildTies.com . There is a lot of funky stuff, and more than a few things you'd never buy or where, but they have a huge selection of ties for just about everyone. We reviewed one of our favorite tie gadgets below.

Looking for an easy wrinkle-free way to travel with neckwear? Look no further! This large Tie Winder makes traveling with your ties more simple and worry-free than ever before. Larger than the standard Tie Winder, this large Tie Winder is better suited for ties that are thickly woven or extra long. Never hand press those travel ties again! Store your ties in the tie winder and easily pack your them right with your luggage. Your ties will maintain that impeccable, just-pressed look and feel, even when they've been sitting in your suitcase for weeks. Use the amazing Tie Winder at home to store your ties year-round, avoiding dust and damage from tie hangers while maximizing storage space.

DNA Portraits and Finger Prints from DNA11

2006-09-20T17:01:00.000-07:00

I guarantee you will not find a more unique Christmas Gift than this. As a matter of fact it's impossible. DNA 11 creates abstract art from your very own DNA or fingerprints. That sounds a bit creepy, but it's actually very cool. And if you're looking for a gift for someone who claims to have everything I think a DNA or fingerprint portrait will definitely impress.

It's not the cheapest gift around, but for someone special, maybe a spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend it is something that is very personal and completely unique. They literally are works of art created from the very essence of who your are. DNA 11's FingerPrints and DNA portraits have been praised by non other than the famous designer Karim Rashid and has been featured in Dwell Magazine, Fast Company and Playboy amoung others. So before they become too popular consider this unique gift idea this Christmas season. www.dna11.com

T.M.X. Elmo - The Extreme Tickle Me Elmo

2006-09-19T15:25:00.000-07:00

If there was anything the signaled the start of the Christmas shopping season I'd argue it's the unveiling of Elmo TMX (Tickle Me Elmo Extreme). The latest and greatest in Elmo innovation is said to have actual fits of laughter where Elmo slaps his knees and falls to the ground laughing. I can imagine that Fisher-Price does the same thing this time of year - all the way to the bank.

It's been 10 years since the original Tickle Me Elmo craze hit the holiday shopping season. The TMX Elmo should soon makes it's way to KB Toys Inc and Toys R Us Inc. at the price of $39.99. All the more reason to start your Christmas shopping early.

A Better Gift Than Just Pajamas
