The Smart E Bear lets you connect him to your computer via USB. Then, once you have synced him with the downloadable software, he will start talking to your kid – by name.

He’ll sing and tell stories and play games with your urchins in English or Spanish – all you do is load up the content you want, and your child triggers Smart E into action by squeezing his paw.

And here’s the kicker: sure Smart E Bear is preloaded with tons of good educational content, but (like iTunes), you can always download more (even new languages for him to speak and teach your geeklings). This means that Smart E Bear can evolve and grow as your children do. He’ll be their friend, teacher, and teddy bear for all time. And when your children move off to college and say they’ve outgrown their Smart E Bear – then you can finally have him back all for yourself.

This wonderful lamp has been placed in the Children’s Ceiling Lights category over at childrenslighting.co.uk. Maybe that’s the “correct” choice, although I would love to have it hanging in just about any room.

The ROCKY Ceiling Light ($91) rocket is designed like something out of a comic book and measures Dia27 x H40/120 cm (min/max).
