60 S.S. Giftology: Flux capacitor

3776e_flux-capacitor.jpg Today's Giftology recommendation will enable the recipient to travel...through TIME! OK, not really, but it'll remind you of a time when the plucky adventures of Marty McFly and the irascible Doc Brown made you believe it to be possible. Revisit that innocent, science-stupid time with this full-scale replica of the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future. It features full lighting effects, adjustable power settings, hastily-pasted handmade labels, and 1.21 jigowatts of non-time-traveling power. All you'll need to do is find a refurbished DeLorean, and those are practically everywhere.

Preorders are being taken until Jan.1, and it ships on April 30th. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and care manual, which is great, because the last thing you want is to visit the Carboniferous period and realize you forgot the proper cleaner for your flux capacitor's lug nuts.

As for the price, well, you can't really put a price on traveling through time, can you? But you can put a price on pretending to travel through time: $220.
