It isn’t much, but I have to give Target credit for trying yet another unique approach to gift cards. This time, they are attempting to make the card two gifts in one with remote control functionality.

In addition to storing money, each card can wirelessly control a tiny Christmas mouse inside a shopping cart. The mouse comes free with the purchase of each gift card, but it appears that the minimum value that can be placed on it is set at $25. Target isn’t my holiday shopping store of choice, but I can see the appeal of getting one of these in that McDonald’s Happy Meal toy sort of way. [Target via Chip Chick via OhGizmo]
