Wii Grand Slam Sports Pack
The Wii controller fits into the handle of these pieces. Actually, these pieces all share the same handle - one at time, of course. When you want to change sports, you unscrew the one you're using and screw on the new one. The set includes a tennis racket, a baseball bat, golf club and sterring wheel. Apparently, the controller needs to be removed during pitching when baseball is being used. The tennis racket light fixture requires two AA batteries.

I love these ideas and do see why you were drooling over those pashmina scarves. I'm always looking to save time and money. Thanks Shirley for helping me do some Christmas shopping. What a pal! :) (printing out)
Thanks, Susan!
Dottie, I almost didn't do this - I HATE SHOPPING. It dawned on me that I might not be the only one, so hoped it would come in handy for somebody. I'm going to be doing all my shopping online this year. I just went into a store yesterday to buy a tube of toothpaste and it took me a half hour to get out again because of the amount of people at the check-outs *shudder* I hate that.
You're very welcome, Dottie - anytime. Hope it cuts down on your shopping time.
Looks like you have a head start on writing holiday hubs Shirley! Nice recommendations for Christmas presents!
Thx, SweetiePie. I don't normally do this type of hub, but last night decided that I can't possibly be the only one that would rather poke her eye out than go into a store at Christmastime. All that stress makes me feel like Shirley Scrooge.
I do hubs about Christmas songs, movies, crafts, and decorating, which are easier to write about than Christmas shopping in my opinion.
Nice ideas, Shirley. I love pashminas and have a few because sis used to have a boutique in NY that sold pashminas and bags, so since sis is a generous older sister who spoils her little sis, (that's me), she would let me have pashminas and accessories from her shop. :)
SweetiePie, people who are crafty and want to make their own Christmas stuff should definitely visit your hubs. You're so good at all of that.
ViolentSun - you are one lucky younger sister! Tell me....are the pashminas as wonderful as they sound? Thanks for coming by and commenting.
Love the hub, but where did that sexy avatar go? By the way, you should add some home made items. I'm thinking...baked goods!
You don't find the tree sexy? B.T. all of my belongings are still in crates. I have never found my cookbooks by trying to poke through the boxes, but if I do find my you-know-what recipe, I'll make it a hub unto itself and dedicate it to you. :)
ViolentSun - you are one lucky younger sister! Tell me....are the pashminas as wonderful as they sound? Thanks for coming by and commenting. >>>
Yes! They are lightweight and keeps one warmer than the bulky scarfs, reason why I stopped wearing bulky scarfs to keep the cold out, when I lived in the East Coast with its harsh winters. I wear not only the scarfs but also the shawls, even here in Oregon where the weather is more temperate but it does get cool in the winter.
Shirley, With the current financial climate, this hub will be very handy! very handy indeed,!,,, until i find a hub titled "gift ideas under $10
I have been reading to many frugality hubs! lol:D
Oh Violet, they sound so perfect! I knew I liked the sound of those.
C.S., the $10 is in the works! Were you peeking?
Great list here Shirley. It's hard to believe that Christmas is only a month away.
regards Zsuzsy
Thx, Zsuzs. I know, I haven't even started my shopping, but that's okay since I'm doing mine online this year.
Thanks for coming by!
Christmas is coming up really fast this year and we haven't even had our Thanksgiving in the U.S. yet which is in 2 days. It is the 27th this year and usually the 21st or 22nd so Christmas will be right around the corner. I don't think about Christmas til after thanksgiving so I will see you maybe this weekend to check out a few things I like here. Glad you asked and Violet Sun answered about those scarves. ;)
Sweet! and yes! i WAS peeking! lol :D
Dottie - I don't know how you guys jump from Thanksgiving to Christmas like that without a breather in between. Do the stores have their Christmas stuff out before Thanksgiving's over?
C.S. - LOL, I knew you were a peeker! I just don't feel right about calling you furry pants anymore! My God, what kind of beauty regime are your using?? I want to get my hands on some of it.
LOL...Shirley, after Christmas and before you switch back to original avatar would you consider giving us woman a really hawt hunk of a guy for your next avatar, would you at least think about it Shirley. This is my Christmas wish to you! :)
p.s. if you do get your hands on some of that regime would you share it with me?
Dottie, I will definitely consider it!! Any requests? Of course, it may confuse my family members that come on here.
Shirley, I can't think of any. What's wrong with me!
Absolutely nothing wrong with you! If I use Mel Gibson, everybody that knows me will expect it. However, maybe Hugh Jackman. Hmm, I'll have to think about that. Maybe Compu-Smart will lend me someone from his idandy site.
Shirley: Wow, thank-you so much! What fantastic ideas!
You're very welcome, Nicole! Thank-you for coming by. Hope it helps with your shopping some.
Thanks for all the ideas for shopping, you pretty much covered all the bases, as far age and gender gifts.
Thanks, Laringo! Hope it helped.
Pretty informative and just in time for the holidays. I like it. What a nice hub.;-)
Thank-you so much, Hibiscus Mel! I hope it was helpful to you. :)
I placed my order. Shirley if you get my credit card # I beg you not to order me any more F-cup cookies....you've sent enough!
btw those axe gift sets are currently unavailable. boo hoo!
Hey Dottie, you sure you wouldn't like to biggie size that order with just one more case of F-cup cookies? I'm sure they'll give you a good deal seeing as how you've purchased so many already. :) Do they work, by the way? Sorry to hear about the Axe gift sets, sounds like it was one of the things on your list, too. My grandson loves that stuff.
I've looked through Amazon Canada, but it doesn't have all the neat stuff that the American site does, which is sad. I was looking forward to getting all my shopping done through them and have everything shipped together. Oh, well.
Hey again Dottie, thanks so much for shopping Shirl-Mart! We appreciate your business!! Hope it's all wonderful.
Well since we are working on project Canada maybe I'll bring some of those cookies with me for a snack with our wine. You'll see how they worked when I get there :)
And thanks, I really enjoyed shopping Shirl-Mart today! My warm neck will soon thank you for it :)
LOL, F-cup cookies and wine - what a combo! Hard to say what will happen.
Warm neck? Did you order one of those Pashmire scarves?? Did ya, huh?
Great hub. I am on a budget and these gift ideas are a great relief after looking through store after store after store and only finding great gifts that cost over fifty dollars. That is a tough way to shop for a sinlge mother of four. Trust me. I know.
Tootles!!
Thank-you, Nayberry. A lot of people are tightening their belts this year. I hope this hub does help you!
I like Jersey Knit Robes
So do I, Lgali. They're very comfortable and wash up like an old rag without looking like one. Thx for coming by!
Love the hub and you're an Amazon genius.
How about a hub for Christmas Gifts for people you don't like very much, but have to get them something, anyway?
Why thanks very much, Joe! Hmm, something for grinches you're obliged to buy for but don't really want to....if I had the answer to that, I'd make my fortune. Have you considered booze, cash or gift certificates? Perhaps a season's pass to your comedy shows? Maybe not, if they're grumpy they might heckle you. Oh, I know! Dinner for two somewhere (gift certificate). Everybody has to eat, even persnickety people.
None of this helps, does it?
This is a great article and very befitting for the current economic state. Going traditional is great especially with the board game ideas you put on here - I would like to get members of my family away from the Playstation and Xbox (which is like pulling teeth). I dont know how well Gumby would go over (jk) but this really is a very simple and to the point article - It my pleasure to read this. thank you
Thank-you so much, Amber! That's very kind of you to say so.
Best of luck getting your family away from the PS! Happy Holidays.
ONLY 11 DAYS LEFT, PEOPLE! GET SHOPPING!
Hey, thx, Joe. Do I owe you a commission or something?
Thanks for saving me lots of time this christmas
I'm very happy to have helped, Comparepricesbuy. Thanks for commenting and hope you have a Happy Holiday.
Great hub Shirley,I love shopping on Amazon, it really makes things so much easier.
Great Hub good content. I rated up. I made a list of the top 10 christmas gifts for 2008 send me a comment with a link to this hub and I will publish it.
Thank-you, Karen. I hope it was helpful.
What's News - thanks, that's very kind of you!
Fangji - I appreciate your well-wishes, thank-you.
Um, guys - take it easy with those links - that is NOT allowed. HubPages considers it spamming. Thanks.

Sorry, Fangji - I had to delete the original comment to get rid of all the links. Thanks for understanding.
Great suggestion for the Wii nunchuck - it allows you to play boxing, easily the most fun (but exhausting) game with the system!
Thanks, Livelonger! It does sound like fun.....and exercise. You know, for many years now, I thought the word was numchuk. Oops.
It's definitely quite a workout. You are seriously sore afterwards, if you take it seriously. A middle-N sounds an awful lot like a middle-M - in-patient can easily sound like impatient. :-)
Well with my personality and level of physical fitness, I can be both impatient and an inpatient. Heck, I can be both at the same time. :)
Awesome ideas! Thanks for doing the research!
Thanks, Jobister. Hopefully, this will help some folks have an affordable Christmas.
Thank you Shirley,
I really enjoyed your hub, I love your layout, and it is very informational. Great idea's all around for christmas shopping.
Thanks, Voinetwork! Hope it helps you save a little money this Christmas.
Thanks Shirley, some great ideas.
