[Lucky Break Wishbone] No more fighting at the Thanksgiving table over who gets to break the wishbone; this year, just buy plastic wishbones from Lucky Break Wishbone.

They come in packs of 4 (the "Fun" pack) to 400 (the "Galaxy" pack because, indeed, you are supplying every plastic wishbone-desiring person in the galaxy).

[Images: Alphabet Plates] Alphabet Plates, created by graphic designer (and mom) Laura Paresky Gould, allows you to personalize plates with your little one's name and favorite food from 14 popular choices.

[Photograph: Neiman Marcus] The annual Neiman Marcus Christmas Book sells fantasy items that about a fraction of a fraction of people could ever afford—$20 million submarine, $1.76 million space charter on the Virgin Galactic spaceship. But the most expensive item this year is relatively cheap: the $25,000 Cupcake Car. "Slip under the muffin top of your Cupcake Car, and let the world figure itself out for awhile," advertises the catalog. Maxing out at seven mph, the ride is tricked out with sprinkles and swirly frosting accessories. California-based artist Lisa Pongrace, who first launched the design at Burning Man, will even customize your topping. This marks Neiman Marcus's attempt to cut back on the $1 million-plus super-ridiculous gifts and settle...

Serrated edge on the fork. Ed went to Baltimore last weekend and came back with sporks from the American Visionary Art Museum. This isn't your typical fanged spoon, where the cutlery duo sits on one end. This involves a spoon on one side, fork on the other and a serrated side. Sporknife? So far we've used them to cut oranges (sharp enough), scoop up oatmeal (deep enough), and even open a plastic-wrapped Dr. John album. So multi-talented, that spork! Ergonomically comfortable, these Light My Fire brand sporks were designed by Joachim Nordwall. They come in 19 colors, and when ordered in bulk, special theme packages exist like "combat" (green and gray) and "bistro" (your mod red and black). As...
