Here are some creative suggestions.
10. The Drink and Drive Game $79
Combine a compact remote-controlled car, a set of obstacle cones, a shot glass, and your favorite beverage, and what do you get? Endless entertainment! The goal is to fill the shot glass with your drink, place it on the car’s tray for stability, set up your course, and navigate without spilling. Spill, and you drink; succeed, and your friends drink. This innovative gadget from Edwin is perfect for the drinker who enjoys a bit of fun after a few rounds.

9. The Gamerator$3,100 eBay auction
Imagine this: a 24-inch flat screen, 187 classic arcade games, and... ice-cold beer, all without ever leaving your seat! Who wouldn’t want this in their home? In fact, I’d argue that everyone needs one. I’d personally order at least two!

8. Bedside Booze Drip£14.99

7. The Bevy$14.95
Everyone owns a set of keys, and almost everyone has an iPod. [Editor’s note: Hopefully, the winner of the Christmas Competition—entries close tomorrow!] And let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy a cold beer? While these are thought-provoking questions, the real question is: how do I get my hands on one of these? It’s an iPod Shuffle cover, a keychain, an earphone cord organizer, and a bottle opener all in one. The only downside? You’ll need to remove your iPod to use it as a bottle opener. Sure, that’s a significant drawback, but it’s still a clever gift idea. Up next are two fantastic products from the same company: Brew Innovations, LLC.
