Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light

Assuming you have shared all there is to know about the Doctor Who series to your little one, hoping that your interest in the sci-fi series will rub off on him/her, how about being a wee bit more persuasive through the purchase of this $14.99 Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light? Yes sir, let the good Doctor provide some light in the dead dark of the night, ensuring that the pathway to the bathroom or hallway is always lit, making sure that monsters hiding underneath the bed will remain where they are supposed to be.

I suppose on a more psychological level with an overactive imagination in tow, the Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light would also be effective in discouraging nocturnal Dalek attacks, but that is another adventure to share with another time. The Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light will be able to plug into any standard outlet, where it will shine from both the windows and top in order to deliver an adequate amount of illumination for late night bathroom trips. You can always replace the 7 watt bulb inside when it blows.

Dalek Purse Exterminates All Other Handbags

Posted in: Today's Chili

Doctor Who seems to be in the midst of a major renaissance of late. I can’t go a day lately without coming across some sort of awesome Doctor Who inspired craft, like this Dalek purse.

dalek purse 1

This strikingly accurate and detailed Dalek handbag was made by Krukru Studio (who also happens to make a TARDIS bag.) The handmade felt bag measures about 13.8″ tall, 9.4″ wide at the bottom, and 4.7″ wide at the top. While its odd shape and size isn’t exactly the most practical for carrying lots of stuff around, it should work pretty well for toting around your wallet, a couple of lipsticks, and your Sonic Screwdriver.

So if you’re read to purge the universe of all your other purses, grab the Dalek purse now over on Etsy for $190(USD).

Timey Wimey Jell-O in a Jar, There’s Always Room for Doctor Who

Posted in: Today's Chili

Everyone loves Jell-O. Heck, even the Doctor loves him some Jell-O, as well as fish fingers, custard, and Jammie Dodgers of course. This special Doctor Who Jell-O will give you a nice, wibbly wobbly snack for that Who marathon you are planning.

If you you want to make your own galaxy in a jar, made of Jell-O, you can find the recipe at Bakingdom. You see, it looks like a galaxy. In a jar.

The TARDIS as well as Doctor and companion figures are optional. You don’t need them to enjoy this treat, it just makes it taste even better when you have props. I wonder if the TARDIS would get stuck in a Jell-O universe or just keep going.

TARDIS Tent Looks Perfect for Stand-up Sleepers

Posted in: Today's Chili

While I love the idea of all the space inside of an actual TARDIS tent, this one exists only in the real world, providing a space measuring just 61″(H) x 35″ (W) x 35″ (D). Clearly, this is not a tent for lying down in, but it’s just right for pretend time and space travelers – as long as they’re under 5-feet-tall.

Underground Toys TARDIS tent doesn’t just look like the Doctor’s craft from the outside. Open up the inside, and you’ll find a large print of the intricate insides of the TARDIS too. Sure, it’s totally non-functional, and not practical for sleeping at all, but it’s still pretty cool if you’re into Doctor Who.

You can pre-order the TARDIS tent over at Big Bad Toy Store for $119 (USD), and it ships this October. And I suppose you could always lie it on its side if you want to sleep in it.

TARDIS Liquor Cabinet: Jigger on the Inside

Posted in: Today's Chili

There’s actually a bar in Brooklyn that has its very own TARDIS, but if you want one in your house instead, I think I like this idea even better. Unofficially dubbed the “Party TARDIS” by Redditor imonfirex727, it’s a work of geeky wonder.

tardis liquor cabinet

This TARDIS liquor cabinet is loaded with booze – presumably acquired by the Doctor during various trips through time and space. Somewhere along the way, he even picked up a smaller TARDIS and an even tinier Dalek, and stores them in the cabinet for safe-keeping. I’ve heard that the Davros 30-year single malt is quite a treat.

Dalek Wedding Cakes Are Dressed to Exterminate

Posted in: Today's Chili

Reddit user eclaire4186 received the best wedding gift ever when her sister had these Dalek cakes made for her. Her sister had been teasing her for months and then, just as they were wrapping up the wedding lunch, these two creatures were unveiled.

Her sister found someone to make a Dalek Bride and Groom! A well-dressed Dalek bride and groom at that. If you are going to exterminate bachelorhood, this is the way to do it. Though I’m not sure about Daleks with pasty white skin, they look pretty cool.

For some reason, the groom Dalek reminds me of Winston Churchill. It’s probably the cut of the suit and the girth. He just needs a cigar. What a great sister!

TARDIS Trash Can: for Doctor Oscar the Grouch

Posted in: Today's Chili

Looking for a trash can that’ll take your garbage to another time and space? Or how about one that’s way bigger on the inside? This trash can’t do any of that. That’s what your imagination is for.

To help you make up stories about the adventures of your leftover food and scratch paper, the trash can has a police light that turns on when you open the lid. It will then play the dematerializing sound effect when the lid closes.

Proof that it’s not bigger on the inside:

What this trash can can do is make a lot of your money disappear, never to be seen again. ThinkGeek is selling it for a whopping $90 (USD).

Handmade Doctor Who Chess Set: Weeping Angel Jumps TARDIS

Posted in: Today's Chili

I love Doctor Who, but I suck at chess. Even so, I want to buy this set just because it looks so amazing. However, I lack the financial resources to spend almost $1000 on a chess set, so I am just going to have to admire it from afar.

It’s not just made to be looked at. It’s made for playing. The wooden chess board wasn’t made from scratch. It was modified to look more Who-like. One cool feature is that it folds in half to hold all the pieces safely. Each piece is handmade using polymer clay, and the pieces are split into a good side and a bad side. Of course, The Doctor, River Song, Amy, Amelia and some TARDISes are on the good team, while The Dreamlord, Madam Kovarian, the headless monks and weeping angels are some the the bad guys. Just look at the detail in these pieces. Clearly, a lot of time went into creating this set.

If you want it, you better get it while you can. Priced at $949 (USD), it’s one-of-a-kind and the seller, Dutch artist Emmi Viser won’t be making another set. Check out more details on the set here.

Doctor Who TARDIS Trash Can

Posted in: Today's Chili

You know, if there is one way to get rid of all the trash in the world, we might as well be a Time Lord and travel to the future, where the folks there would have figured out how to vaporize trash the safe and clean way, or at least have some means to keep the earth green. Dump all our rubbish there and that’s that. Unfortunately, since time travel remains a fantasy at this point in time, it will just be you and your imagination, and with $89.99 in exchange for the Doctor Who TARDIS Trash Can, there ought to be no more mess around your workspace.

This office-sized TARDIS trash can will actually light up and play some cool sounds whenever you open and close it, but you will still need to empty it yourself of its contents at the proper place once it is stuffed to the brim. There is a switch located under the lid that allows you to turn off the sound effects just in case it proves to be too disturbing to the rest of your office mates. The Doctor Who TARDIS Trash Can will run off a trio of AAA batteries.

Artist Turns Geeky Characters into Fat Cats

Posted in: Today's Chili

Etsy is a great place to find wonderful handmade crafts, and every once in a while I come across something I can honestly say I’ve not seen before. What we have here is some of our favorite sci-fi, movie and video game characters – all transformed into fat cats by Kathleen over at Fat Cat Crafts.

Oh, and these aren’t just any overweight felines, no. The cats of Fat Cat Crafts all function as pincushions, so if you’re into sewing, you can keep your spare needles and pins in them. (Or if you just want to put a voodoo curse on your cat.) My favorite has to be the highly-detailed Boba Fett fat cat (Boba Fatt?), complete with jet pack, though I do like the sound of ”Shat Fat Cat” rolling off of my tongue too…

Among Kathleen’s other handmade creations are Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Mario, Luigi, Doctor Who, Obi Wan Kenobi and Indiana Jones (complete with pipe-cleaner whip) – all in fat cat form.
