Rock Band
Rock out like the Partridge Family
If you like Guitar Hero, you'll love Rock Band. This game lets you form your very own virtual band and rock out with friends and family in multiplayer mode. Let mom take the drums, dad man the bass, you tackle lead guitar, and your sister grab the mic as you rock out to music from the world's biggest rock stars, right in your living room.

Nintendo Wii
Make it bowling night every night
With a Nintendo Wii in the house, every night is a fun night as you challenge your family to a tennis match, a bowling game, or a round of golf any day of the week. This console is also an excellent way to stay in shape. You'll never want to play board games again.

Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U 42-inch LCD
The picture's so bright, you gotta wear shades
If you don't already own a high-definition television, then this is the year to get one before the 2009 digital TV transition (but I'm sure you already knew that). High-definition will be all the rage next year, and the Aquos has great picture quality and a fantastic price, and it’ll look amazing on that empty wall. Besides, you'll need a bigger TV set to enjoy all that HD programming.

TiVo 180-hour HD DVR
Time to upgrade that TiVo
This is the ultimate HDTV accessory! It's time to upgrade and enjoy your recorded shows in high definition. How else are you going to watch “Heroes,” “Ugly Betty,” or “Grey's Anatomy”?

HP TouchSmart
A social hub to keep your family connected
Buying a computer for every member in the family is expensive, but the HP TouchSmart PC is so compact, you can set it anywhere in the house for everyone to use. I love the touch-screen monitor that quickly takes you to all your favorite applications. It also has a built-in webcam, a DVD burner, a 320GB hard drive, wireless accessories, and a high-definition television tuner, so you can also use it as an extra TV. This is one computer built for a family.
