December is almost upon us, which means you can expect to see a whole bunch of Christmas and Hanukkah decorations like this 5.5” tall, 9” wide LED menorah. Who says you’ve got to be Jewish to enjoy the festival of lights? The LEDs are controlled via a potentiometer, so you’ll have to make sure you light the candles in the correct order or you might get a surprising shock of electricity. Kidding.

Not only is this a kick ass digital design for a menorah, but it will also save you on candles and eliminate any potential fire hazard you once had when using live flames. Only a gentile would pass up this $25 menorah.

Next month, Microsoft will be totally reshaping the Xbox Live experience. While this is fine and dandy, Microsoft is really looking to get the Xbox 360 into the hands of every teenager on the planet this Black Friday and holiday season. Next up on the checklist is to offer customers free games. Buy the $199 360 Arcade and you’ll get 6 games for free (as you can see in the above image.) Those of you picking up a Pro or Elite version will be treated to LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda. Not too shabby. It’s also worth mentioning that everyone will score a Netflix trial as well with their system. Schweet!

We here at Gearfuse decided that each writer should pick 5 items we feel would make excellent Father’s Day gifts. We assembled everything and the end result is this bastard of a list. Hopefully, you’ll find something that’ll put a smile on your father’s face. Let’s go!
