Hasta La Gadget!

If you expect Santa to enter your home with a SWAT team this year instead of the usual way, these LA Police Gear Molle Elite Tactical Christmas Stockings are perfect. SWAT Santa should love them and will probably examine them with glee as he stows his AK-47 in order to dole out gifts. They will add add military-grade cheer “to your fireplace, foxhole, police department, or forward operating base.”

The black, coyote, and OD green stockings are perfect for celebrating a military Christmas. The Elite features a vertical zipper opening, carry handle, and a swivel stocking hanger with clip. There’s also a mini marsupial pouch and a place for Velcro patches to be added, which could be your name or a Milspec Patch.

These stockings will protect your goodies like none other and look all tough while doing it. Best of all, they sell for just $12.99(USD) each over at LA Police Gear.

This time of year everybody is cooking. Well, sure, some of us are cooking in the kitchen and others are cooking in RVs, but one thing we can all cook up are cool gingerbread treats. Like this one. This is an awesome gingerbread homage to Breaking Bad.

This creation looks adorable and it comes from the Sugar Plum Cake Shop.  There’s Walt and Jesse with their Winnebago meth lab, a bag of blue meth and even a snowman DEA agent that is roughly the same shape as Hank. It’s pretty sweet. I mean literally.

It even has cotton candy fumes coming from the RV. Nice touch. It is too neat to eat.

Mark Rober has been wowing us for three of years now with his innovative, high-tech Halloween costumes. In fact, he got so good at it that he quit his job at NASA to devote himself to "Digital Dudz" full-time. Now he’s applied the cyber-clothing concept to the perennial holiday favorite, the ugly Christmas sweater, and oh man, it’s kind of awesome.

Now that it’s after Thanksgiving, it’s officially okay to talk about Christmas, and put up the tree. But even if you picked out a festive blue spruce, do you know how you’re going to decorate it? Well, you could put some ordinary department store ornaments on it, or you could go full on geek.

This set of Donkey Kong themed ornaments ($60) comes from Etsy artist LighterCases, and it includes everything you need to recreate the classic Nintendo arcade game on your Christmas tree. The set of 12 pieces includes girders, ladders, barrels, Jumpman and his Princess. To top things off, it comes with a Donkey Kong tree topper. Each piece is made from melted Perler beads to form the pixels.

If you’re not into Donkey Kong, their shop has got lots of other fun holiday ornament sets, including Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Zelda, Tetris, Mega Man, and even some South Park themed sets among others.
