Yes it’s that time again, Christmas is just about to knock at the door and everyone is scrambling trying to figure out what the hot new items for 2009 are going to be.

While many youngsters are preparing their wishlists with hot new items like the Star Wars Force Trainer and musical Christmas train sets, most parents are still trying to figure out what the newest and hottest items for the 2009 shopping season are.

Fortunately for the parents, Holiday Shopping Network is showcasing new Christmas gifts and other highly recommended items such as gifts for him and gifts for her. It’s a great place for Christmas gift ideas.

Oh, and they will also be changing gift ideas to mirror the holidays. (Valentines gifts, Easter gifts, etc)

Now for the parents who are unsure that the Star Wars force trainer is, it’s a new toy that uses the power of the mind (yes power of the mind) to levitate a ball in a cylinder plastic tube. It’s pretty cool. You can read more about it at StarWarsForceTrainer.org. It’s a new generation in science toys and possibly a new generation in mind power too.

And for the younger ones who are still evolving their mental abilities. (No pun intended) what a better gift than a Christmas train set such as the Lionel Christmas train set. What parent could deny a cute voice saying “Mommy, I want a musical train for Christmas”? After all, a Christmas train set is a non-violent toy unlike many toys on the market today.

So put on your thinking hats, break out the white board, and start taking notes. Christmas is knocking.

Peace be with you.

If there is one toy that is causing squeals of excitement in school playgrounds across the country as well as being placed high on the wish list of most children this Christmas, it has to be The Star Wars Force Trainer.

Star wars gifts are always popular at Christmas, but this training module breaks new boundaries in interactive games. First you must put on a special training headset which allows the super advanced technology to distinguish between the different types of brainwaves that you are producing (alpha, beta, delta and gamma). By utilizing this technology a special chip inside of the machine processes these brain waves into physical action. This ‘action’ is the moving of a white ball through different marked sections inside of a training tower.

Once the game begins, you have to use your mind powers and progress through 15 levels of training in order to be crowned a true Jedi warrior. There is even a freestyle mode if you really want to show off to your friends and family.

The star wars force trainer also uses special sound effects and tips from Master Yoda himself, keeping your little ones entertained and focused for hours at a time, after all who doesn’t want to become a Jedi mind warrior? It just might also help calm noisy and excitable children and improve their concentration skills as they have to practice focusing on one task over a period of time.

The stars wars Force trainer is suitable for Jedi’s aged 8+ and reasonably priced at around $100. Be sure to order early in order to get yours in time for Christmas as this is set to be one of the most popular games this year.
