We know there’s nothing worse than getting a new airsoft sniper rifle and having nowhere to use it. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, check out Airsoft Playground in South El Monte. This indoor airsoft field is a dedicated airsoft space, not a converted paintball arena. According to the site, “The facility has two fields with different designs. One is slightly larger and designed with a semi-outdoor feel: hay, pallets, drums, barrels, and outdoor obstacles. While the second field is slightly smaller and designed with CQB in mind: walls, turns, and hallways. Both fields are changed every few months to allow for a different experience for all players on different occasions.” The company estimates that it sees more than 100 people on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so even if you can’t round up a few buddies, you’re not out of luck.

You can rent guns and equipment from Airsoft Playground, or you can swing by Speedy Toys in Los Angeles near the Van Nuys airport for the newest airsoft automatic and semi-automatic guns and accessories. Not in the Los Angeles area? Speedy Toys offers shipping within the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, owners of airsoft sniper rifles and handguns can check out this list and this list for directories of airsoft fields by state.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Halloween costumes! Our Top 5 list counts down the most original, humorous, and just plain cool adult Halloween costumes for men.

5. Jesus. There’s almost no better way to stand out than dressing up as God’s only son. Not only are you three people at once, you’re also endowed with water-to-wine changing powers, the ability to walk on water, and a posse of bearded men who call themselves your disciples. Plus, the whole “coming back from the dead” thing.

4. Scarecrow. She’s been saying, “If only you had a brain” for years. Show her just how smart (or how much of a smart aleck) you can be by dressing up as Dorothy’s BFF from The Wizard of Oz. Couples often enjoy pairing this one with the Dorothy costumes for women.

3. Dr. Evil. Nothing says malice quite like world domination. (Evil laughter in background). You can partner up with an Austin Powers or just hold the party ransom on your own. Pinky finger not included.

2. The Burger King. Don’t just wake up with the king this Halloween; be the king himself. The king’s got a more than 50-year history and serious street cred. Have it your way.

1. Stewie Griffin. Age-defying intellect coupled with infantine limitations? Brilliant! Whether he’s confiding in Brian, trying to kill Lois, planning his global takeover, or just antagonizing Meg and Chris, Stewie Griffin is a true original. It’s not so much that he wants to kill everyone; he just doesn’t want them to be alive anymore…

Even last minute gifts can be perfect—it just depends on what you buy and where you buy it! You can always reach for the traditional present bought in a hurry, such as a stuffed animal for children, or a nice new handbag for her. Gifts like these are always likely to please. However, if you want to get a gift in a hurry that is both unique and extra thoughtful, aim for something relaxing, cuddly, and adorable. If it’s useful, he or she will love it all the more! Some online specialty shops offer products that satisfy all of these criteria.

One online shop that offers unique gifts with a luxury feel (but affordable price tag) is Warm Whiskers. This store carries many products for heat therapy, cool therapy, and items for children as well. Pocket critters, for example, are stuffed toys that can be heated! They contain calming herbs—if your child is afraid to sleep alone, he or she will warm right up to a Penny Penguin or Lily Bunny pocket critter. For adults, products like heated slippers, body pillows shaped like warm, fuzzy bears, and much more! At Warm Whiskers, all of the products are special—so you can pick an excellent gift, even in a hurry.
