TV-themed DVD games make great gifts!
With Christmas Day in just 10 days, it's difficult to figure out what to get for some people. You might have that teenage daughter of a good friend, or the ten-year-old nephew you just aren't sure what he's into any more. A coworker you want to show appreciation to, but just aren't sure what their hobbies are. That "one more extra" gift for a parent or grandparent to be sure you've gotten them enough somethings to show just how much you care (not that they don't know already, of course).
In the past couple of years, DVD board games have become a big industry, especially those based on game shows. And I've not only collected a fair chunk of these (they're a great way to spend family game night!), but I've found that they make great gifts for folks of all ages, too. And many of them are less than $20-$25.
I'm sure that there's a few I've missed, but below I've collected a list of 17 TV-themed DVD Board Games that are new (or at least, new to me) since last Christmas. You can click on the title and purchase them from Amazon.com (or one of Amazon's "marketplace" sellers), or else you can probably find these in your local department, electronic, toy, or videogame stores. My list includes such popular current primetime TV game shows as Deal or No Deal, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader and The Singing Bee, classics like Jeopardy, Concentration and Press Your Luck, and other TV-show related games based on hot shows for the kids: Hannah Montana, Ben 10, Scooby-Doo (yes, still popular!) and of course games based on both Disney Channel original films High School Musical (both "1" and "2"):

I hope this has been helpful! For over 10 years I managed a retail store, so I know how hard it can be to cruise the malls during this time of year looking for the right gift for everyone on your list. Gift cards are a great plan, but you always want to give folks something physical, don't you? So many people love television shows, and giving them a home version of a show they like - or probably like - is usually a can't-miss present! And many of these are great to play solo or with a crowd...and they might be perfect for that New Year's Eve party you're planning, too. Have fun!
