I've always been kinda partial to/curious about, owning one or more of those strange "psychic" devices, like crystals and what not. Of course, I'd rather not give those snake-oil salesmen any of my hard earned money... So what's a skeptic to do? Ask one of his "beleiver" friends for a Christmas gift of course!
"Dude, if you want to buy me a gift for Christmas, buy me a psychic gift of some sort!"
"Christmas? Aren't you an atheist?"
"Shut up. I like gifts."
"But by asking for a gift like that, aren't you encouraging the psychic movement?"
"Shut up. No, you would. I mean, you already are, so what's a few extra dollars in their pockets?"
"What kind of gift?"
"I want one of them Purple Energy Plates! No! I want one of those Earth Location Dog Tag!"
"Hmmm... Interesting; perhaps you're a not as skeptic as you claim to be!"
"Shut up! Give me another beer!"
Here's a few of my favourites (mostly from Randi's Swift archive):
Earth Location Dog Tags
From the site: "In case of alien abduction these dog tags may save your life. The crucial data an alien will need to get you back to Earth is die stamped into these dog tags.". Woof!
Purple Energy Plates
From the site: "...the atoms and electrons of the aluminum have been altered so the plates are in tune, in resonance, or in harmony with the basic energy of nature and the Universe... [later] ... Many reports have come back that the Plates "disappear" or actually dematerialize."
IE, you may get an empty box if you purchase one :)
Shooter Buddy
From the site: "In as little as ten seconds, Shooter Buddy restores the natural balance destroyed in the production process, recaptures the fresh taste of nature, and duplicates the smooth mellow flavor generated by years of traditional slow aging"
So? What are your favourite psychic "toys"? Links would be appreciated!

Love the hat! Love the foil! My girlfriend is kind of an arts and crafts nut, I'm sure she'll be able to make me one :)
Since I'm bored silly at work today, here's a few more... Man, it's easier to find than I thought. Sort of depressing really... Anyways, here it goes:
Astral-Projection.org
I love this quote: "SUPER BONUS: Order Today and receive our FREE Out of Body product normally sold separately for $19.95... Astral Projection has never been easier to attain. Throw away those cumbersome books that will bore you silly before you finish the long courses."
How to become a psychic!
Yes, my skeptical friends! Now we can try it out for ourselves and SEE! A cool quote: "Accurately calibrated sine wave frequency generators were used to generate different frequencies in each ear." Wow! It's gotta be gen-u-wine Bubba!
Acorn Animal Communication
Own a pet? Check this out! "The Communicator is merely the facilitator 'translating' the human's question into the 'silent word', for the animal, and the spoken word, for the human, in such a way as to be true to the animal's intent."
Astral Hearts
Alone for the holydays? Fear not! Find your (psychic) mate on Astral Hearts! My favourite quote: "KARMIC DISCLAIMERS: Advocates for religious tolorance, it is not Astral Hearts' purpose to endorse or deny any individual religion, faith or culture nor it's practices. Furthermore, we urge you to take the usual precautions when interacting with others online as well as offline (keep that 6th chakra open), and we cannot take responsibility for the actions of others. God knows, we already have enough karma, thanks!".
Karmic disclaimer. Yes, it's for real. Enjoy :)
