Boxing Day Boredom!

It doesn't take long for the Christmas furore to fade away. The fridge is full of leftover turkey and Brussels sprouts and the telly is teeming with repeats! In order to prevent the inevitable Boxing Day boredom setting in, why not grab some fun and games from findmeagift.com beforehand? You can liven up the living room and turn Boxing Day into a new tradition, as 'game day' with some entertaining Christmas gifts!
Once family or friends have finished polishing off turkey soup and sandwiches and the kids are happily playing with their toys that Santa brought them, don't even bother to switch on the TV! Feast your eyes and ears on the After Dinner Arguments Game instead! After Dinner Arguments is a great discussion game that could turn into a heated debate! Get ready to talk politics, religion, sex, work, people and so much more. The game includes a pack of Discussion cards, a Sand timer and a full set of instructions. All you have to do is pick a card and read out the question, for example "Which group of people in society do you think are the greatest leeches and parasites on the rest ...
... of us? Why?"

You then have to give your opinion before the timer runs out. One thing's for sure, with questions like that you are guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows! It can bring out the best or possibly worst in people and maybe loose you a few friends and irritate some relatives too. Oh well, I guess that just means more Christmas pud for you next year! After Dinner Arguments makes a fabulous Christmas gift for anyone who loves a good old debate and there are no winners or losers. Well, it may however induce the odd headache or burst a blood vessel or two!
Boxing Day is usually the day when local hunts meet. After toasting with a little winter punch or a glass of port and a traditional mince pie, it's off they go for a Christmas canter and forage around the countryside (legally of course).
If you are sick at the sight of food (certain feathered birds in particular) then why not partake in a festive shoot in the comfort of your own home? Now I'm not suggesting you take a 12-bore shotgun to your leftover turkey carcass, I mean taking a pop at the Retro Arcade Shoot Alien Game! The Retro Arcade Shoot Alien Game is an infra-red shooting gallery game! You simply shoot the invading aliens with the included infra-red gun, which is shaped like a classic joystick. This retro inspired game is set in a box shaped like a 70's TV with a digital score screen on the front.
Now I know what you're thinking, that turkeys, geese and other game birds aren't aliens (stick with me folks!). But what you could do is cut out small pictures of birds that go gobble-gobble, those horrible mini green cabbages and mince pies that you always get force-fed and stick them on the little pesky aliens! Then you can aim your joystick at the shooting gallery and let rip on all that festive food that has given you indigestion (not to mention the added calories!) You are rewarded bonus points too if you manage to see and hit the blue LED light at the back of the game. You could also add your own extra special festive points if you shoot all the Brussels too! You can play against the clock or select continuous play. The Retro Arcade Shoot Alien Game runs off batteries so be sure to get some extra batteries in as this game makes an awesome gift that the whole family can enjoy!
Of course, you may have already indulged in too many treats and Christmas spirit! Therefore if you cannot muster the strength to get up off the sofa, not even to get a chocolate from the sweet tin, then you could do with the Radio Controlled Forklift Truck! This Mini RC Forklift Truck is the coolest construction toy on the building block! Suitable for big kids and children over the age of 8, this truck comes with a remote control, mini pallet, mini crate and 4 mini cones! It runs on 4 x AAA batteries and 1 x 9V battery (not included). With 9 functions, 3 speeds and 3 motors, this Forklift Truck is more fun than the real thing!
You can make up games, manoeuvring in and out of the cones and clearing up waste wrappers. Then again you could sit back, guide this tiny truck over to whoever has the chocolates and ask them politely to load your crate up with strawberry surprises. Er I mean, tough toffees, argh-argh or stack the pallet with mini mint logs!
So don't get caught up with Boxing Day blues, log onto findmeagift.com and fill up on gifts and gadgets to help keep the festive season fun!
