Hey, if you're cutting back on the gifts, you might as well splurge on the cards.

What's a family gathering Halloween without a few corpses lying around? Corpses For Sale ($545-$595) are incredibly detailed faux dead bodies, available in both male and female versions, with either light or heavy(!) decay. Nasty skin, strangely intact hair, sunken eyes, destroyed teeth — you name it, these corpses have it, along with the ability to scare the bejeezus out of anyone who comes near.
Need a Halloween costume to end all others for this year's office costume contest? No worries, just don this Master Chief Collector’s Costume ($630). Officially licensed, the outfit includes a quilted jumpsuit with EVA armor, a two-piece helmet, gauntlets, and boot tops. All you need now is your weapon of choice — might we suggest the Energy Sword? [Thanks, Jedia]

Take your Halloween costume to the next level with Halloween Contacts and Special Effects Lenses ($70-$260/pair). Available in over 130 styles, most also available with prescription, these eyeball enhancements will leave your eyes looking as creepy as the rest of you. [Thanks, Chelsea]

If you're like most men, efforts to properly gift wrap presents have ended in total failure. Maybe you've got a girlfriend on the side to wrap things for you, or maybe you've resorted to those lame balloon wrappers, but either way, you're not self-reliant. Boxwood Gift Boxes ($52) offer a simple yet elegant way to circumvent your wrapping retardation. Made from MDF and laminated in ebony and walnut finishes, this set of three gift boxes is a staple for any man with a social life.

Hold your own unholy family holiday this year with some National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation gear. First up, for the true Clark fan, is the authentic Griswold Chicago Blackhawks Jersey ($170). While sporting the big double zero, don't forget to share some eggnog with your own Cousin Eddie in a couple Moose Mugs ($33 each). If the entire family will be around — Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn, the clean cool chill of the holiday air, and an asshole in his bathrobe emptying a chemical toilet into your sewer — you might as well go for the Griswold Family Christmas Party ($260), which includes 12 Moose Mugs and a Jelly of the Month set, signed by Frank Shirley, of course. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation can now be had on DVD ($10), HD DVD ($20) and Blu-ray Disc ($20).

Get a jump start on spreading your holiday cheer with these 2007 Holiday Cards from Redbean Design ($18/box of 12). Featuring one of nine terrific modern designs, the 5.25-inch square cards are printed with environmentally responsible inks on premium matte coated cardstock, trimmed with rounded corners and offer full ink coverage on the outer side. If you're really digging the designs, they're also available as Gift Tags ($4/set of 12).

Somehow, those belated birthday cards you can find at your local Hallmark never really say exactly what you're thinking. Hammerpress Shit! Cards ($12/5 pack), on the other hand, make it perfectly clear what you mean to say, in detailed, hand-letterpressed text. The package also includes five orange envelopes to conceal your sentiment from prying eyes. [Thanks, Ben]

If you're trying not to go the sappy route, it can be pretty hard to find a decent greeting card. Unless, that is, you're shopping for a Bald Guy Greeting Card ($3 each). These delightfully dirty cards feature off-the-wall sketches on the front, with a normal greeting — only to carry a darkly hilarious message inside. For instance, the "Be My Valentine" card shown above carries inside it this heartwarming message: "And by 'Be My Valentine,' I mean let's have sex on Valentine's Day." [Thanks, Tim]

Men are notoriously bad at wrapping gifts. Evolve this year with the OpenX Precision Wrapping Paper Slitter ($6). This handy dandy tool, with its scissor-beating gliding action, makes you look so good that you'll get accusations of taking advantage of the donation-only Girl Scout wrapping kiosk at the mall.

SaveFrom the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax, aloe vera oil, Vitamin E acetate, and other ingredients, all while offering a subtle bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy.
SaveMost of us don't have the engineering, design, or architectural chops to recreate any of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterworks, but we can anyway, thanks to these new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego Architecture Building Sets ($TBA). Licensed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, these terrific sets — of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater — were developed in collaboration with leading architects to be as accurate as possible, and come with booklets that not only tell you how to build you own model masterpiece, but exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each building, as well. [Thanks, Kris]
SaveEver wish you could combine your dual-monitor setup into one behemoth display? Get ready, because your wish has come true in the NEC CRV43 Curved Widescreen Display ($8,000). Boasting a unique curved design that's sure to immerse you more than a standard two display setup, this beauty also features a 2880x900 double WXGA resolution, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, single link DVI-D and HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 ports, an on screen display, and the assurance that you have the most unique monitor in the neighborhood. [via]
SaveEver wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.
SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated real-world version packs a slightly sweet, slightly tart blood orange flavor and a rich red color that will have guests wondering if you're drinking the real thing.
SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.
SaveTempted by the MINI's go-cart handling, but not a fan of its boxy exterior? The MINI Coupé Concept ($TBA) is for you. Ready to accept any of MINI's powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept back windshield, short contrast roof, hidden B-pillars, and more sexy than every other modern MINI combined.
SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.

Terrorism. Murder. Blood. Bullets. Darkness. This is the G.I. Joe cartoon you've been waiting 25 years for. G.I. Joe: Resolute ($14) is a new animated mini-series featuring classic Joes and Cobra operatives that's sure to make the live action movie look even more like a turd. Aimed at older viewers, and garnering standing ovations at JoeCon Comic-Con, Resolute consists of 11 episodes (ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale) totaling 60 minutes. We won't tell you the plot, but let's just say Cobra Commander goes totally apocalyptic on Moscow. In the first four minutes. Can someone please start a petition to turn this into a regular weekly series? Oh, and don't forget the toys.
SaveWhat good is a portable hard drive if you're afraid to take it anywhere? With the Hitachi SimpleTough Hard Drive ($100-$135), you simply grab your data and go. Featuring a rugged body with grippy rubber sides and a smooth rubber body, the SimpleTough can withstand drops of up to 7 feet and also offers underside lighting and an integrated USB cable, giving you one less thing to remember when packing for your next spy mission.
SaveWho needs buttons? Apple's Magic Mouse ($69) eschews mechanical buttons and scroll wheels, letting you navigate using the same Multi-Touch technology used on the iPhone and MacBook trackpads. The sexy, seamless, touch-sensitive device works as a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support, allowing you to scroll, pan, or swipe with ninja-finger skill. Works for you freakish lefties too.
SaveJust in time for undeadliest of holidays comes The Horde T-Shirt ($18). This black American Apparel tee sports a terrific print of a single character wielding multiple weapons on the roof of a car as a horde (get it?) of zombies surround him. While it won't pass as a costume per se, it's certainly festive, and if you happen to harbor a secret zombie obsession, you'll no doubt find yourself wearing it all year long.
SaveHaving a big-ass tool set is all well and good, but when you can have the most popular sockets on hand in just one tool, why bother? The Black & Decker Ready Wrench ($30) offers exactly that, with 16 of the most popular sockets — in both standard and metric — on rotating heads on either end of the tool, ready to replace both one- and two-inch deep sockets. With a rubber grip for added comfort, it'll let you save the big tool set for those really tough jobs — like assembling Ikea furniture.
SaveSimplify the process of installing the apps you want on your Windows machine with Ninite. This awesome free service lets you choose from a range of applications, plug-ins, utilities, and other goodies that might normally take hours to download separately, with a "Get Installer" button at the bottom that will do all the heavy lifting for you, creating a simple, one-step app that will install all of the software you chose in one fell swoop. Good for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
SaveIf you're into gadgets, and if you're reading this that's highly likely, then you no doubt have several SD and/or microSD cards laying around — so turn them into USB drives using the LaCie DataShare ($13). The DataShare breaks into two halves — red for SD and white for microSD — that fit together to form one solid, easily-portable storage solution.
SaveLUM-TEC's C Series Watches ($565-$595) give you insane brightness with a great fit. Coming in at a 38mm size, the watches were made for the small-to-average sized wrist, but still offer LUM-TEC's tactical style and GX MDV lume. Four models are being sold, with a bushed silver finish or a bead blasted hard PVD finish, and use fully restored vintage twin barrel automatic movements. Each model is available in a limited numbered series of 100 units.
