DS Lite Green Bundle
that includes a green DS Lite console, green-and-white floral DS Lite case and the popular Personal Trainer: Cooking game.
The bundle retails for $149.99. It’s not supposed to go on sale until May 3, but I saw it on display at my local Toys R Us. You can also preorder from Amazon.
Basic Fun keychain
Best. Nintendo DS stocking stuffer. Ever. This super-cute mini Nintendo DS Lite keychain is made by Basic Fun and comes in Polar White, Crimson and Pink. It’s big enough to hold four DS game cartridges and even comes with a tiny stylus! It’s officially licensed by Nintendo and is a great replica of the console we know and love.
Mini Nintendo DS Lite
If you really love the Nintendo DS Lite, you might want to check out this mini “handy strap” made to look like a DS Lite. It comes in pink! It doesn’t play video games, but it does have a built-in mirror and flashlight. (Or, as it’s called on the site where it’s sold in the UK, a “torch.”) The cost is 6 U.S. dollars. It’s sold by a company named Brando here: mini Nintendo DS Lite. They also sell screen protectors, styluses and other Nintendo DS accessories and games.

From Bags to Riches with DS Lite
You’ve heard of renting video games, renting storage units, renting an apartment—but how about renting a purse? Yep, some women do, and now if they rent certain designer handbags through From Bags to Riches, they get the use of a Nintendo DS Lite plus a game or two for the duration of the 30-day rental period.
The “Fun and Fashion at Your Fingertips” promotion has been going on for a few weeks now, and the games and consoles are paired up like this: Metallic Silver Nintendo DS with New Super Mario Bros., Metallic Rose Nintendo DS with Mystery Case Files MillionHeir, Crimson/Black Nintendo DS with Brain Age or Crosswords DS, Colbalt/Black with Nintendogs, or Onyx with MarioKart.
Simply (when I say simply, I mean for $35 to $300 or so per month, depending on the purse) rent a select Coach, Gucci, Juicy Couture, Louis Vuitton, Prada or Tory Burch purse and you’ll have the DS Lite and game in hand. No word on how women’s taste in purses matches up with their taste in Nintendo DS games. And does Mario wear Prada?
