Psycho Shower Curtain

$24.89 plus shipping and handling from PrankPlace.com, LLC., 206 Murphy Road, Hartford, Conn. 06114, 800-901-1163, www.prankplace.com/ psychoshowercurtain.htm

Suggested by Peter Metrinko of Chantilly, Va.

This is the perfect companion to the scary grasping hand soap: a shower curtain with a shadow of the crazy Psycho stabbing lady (played by Martha Stewart). With these two products in place, no guest will even enter the guest bathroom. It's a hostess's dream come true!

Seasoned Shot

Suggested by Gretchen DeJarnett of Davison, Mich. and many other alert readers

Ask yourself how many times you have made the following statement after killing a bird with a shotgun: ''Gosh darn it, now I have to painstakingly remove the pellets from this bird, and THEN, in a completely separate step, I have to season the bird so I can eat it! There must be an easier way!''

Ten Plagues Bowling Set

$20 plus shipping and handling from Hamakor Judaica, 7777 N. Merrimac Ave., Niles, Ill. 60714; 800-426-2567; www.jewishsource.com/ itemdy00.asp?T1=311009

Suggested by Sharon Rae Pettigrew of Alexandria, Va.

Here's a fun item for the Jewish person on your holiday gift list. This is a bowling set with wooden pins representing the 10 plagues of Egypt. Some of the plagues are a little hard to figure out, because as any artist will tell you, it's not easy to represent plagues, especially lice and boils, in the bowling-pin medium. Nevertheless, in our opinion this may be the best plague-themed bowling game on the market. Certainly it's in the top three.

Bunny Car Kit

$19.89 plus shipping and handling from PrankPlace.com, LLC., 206 Murphy Road, Hartford, Conn. 06114, 800-901-1163; www.prankplace.com/ cargetups.htm .

Suggested by Barbara Brown of Portage, Ind.

Do you have a masculine male man on your holiday gift list who proudly owns and drives a manly car? Then no doubt that man would want to accessorize that car with this gift concept. As the manufacturer says, ''Why drive around town in a boring car when you can dress it up as a rabbit?'' Why indeed? Many leading celebrities such as actor Mel Gibson and ''rap'' artist ''Fifty Cents'' have used this product to customized their ''rides.'' The Pope has also expressed interest.
