Hasta La Gadget!

When you have a Wookiee piloting anything, you have to have a seat belt. Wookiees are huge. In the event of an accident, you don’t want a Wookiee flying out of a vehicle. People are going to get hurt as that big ball of fur hurtles through the air.

So always have a seatbelt in your cockpit and make it one that the Wookiee would feel at home wearing, like this one from Etsy artist The Common Room.

This bandolier cover sells for $21.99(USD), and adds style and comfort to an item that’s already designed to save your life. It measures about 19 inches-long and fits all standard seat belts. Just be aware that depending on your car, the seatbelt may not be able to retract all the way back into its casing after use if the cover remains on. Safety first. Even for Wookiees.

You don’t have to decorate the entire nursery in geek themes you know. Just a few touches here and there should be enough. In fact an adorable and nerdy mobile is all you need. It is a great way to teach your children about the characters you geek out over.

Etsy artist Drops of Color has just the mobile for you and your little gamer in training. Well, the seller offers several mobiles that are equally awesome. All made by hand with small felt plush characters. The Super Mario Bros. one is completely adorable, but the superhero ones are pretty cool too – and they teach your kids that DC and Marvel heroes can live in harmony.

Each mobile comes with five characters, and you can pick which ones you want. Each mobile is made to order and takes about 8 to 10 weeks to arrive at your doorstep. Be sure to stop by their shop and check out some of the other mobiles for sale.

The Doctor’s enemies fear the Sonic Screwdriver. There are many reasons. It gets the Doctor out of tough spots like prison cells, it can reprogram electronics, and now it can color in a coloring book. Etsy seller Carved Crayons has made these amazing carved Sonic Screwdriver crayons.

It’s the 11th Doctor’s screwdriver in case you are wondering. The artist hand-carves each crayon, and embellishes them with melted wax from other crayons to apply different colors  to them. He also has some neat Dalek crayons and even a TARDIS.

It’s almost enough to make me want to want to buy a Doctor Who coloring book. In fact I’m buying one and coloring in it. I’m too old to start growing up now.

Ever since I caught my cat looking at Etsy seller schnabuble’s shop, I can’t get her to shut up about this Cat Battle Armor. She keeps meowing that she wants to go all medieval on mice and other small animals.

It is genuine Cat Battle Armor hand-made from durable veg-tan leather. Your cat will be the most feared cat on the block with this outfit. Its creator says that it is 100% wearable, flexible, and comfortable.

Cat armor isn’t cheap though. It will cost you $500 to make your kitty a knight of old. Totally worth it to see other people’s reactions as they see your cat about the neighborhood.

While many of us fans of classic arcade games would love to have a whole roomful of old arcade cabinets, we don’t always have the space, the money, or the understanding significant other to allow for such dalliances. ArcadeLights has the next best thing.

Instead of filling up tons of space with a complete arcade cabinet, ArcadeLights takes original game marquees and mounts them into wall sconces. They come in a wide variety of designs, and are the perfect addition to your gameroom. Whether you’re looking for Pac-Man, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, or TRON, they’ve got you covered.

Prices range from about $85 up to $225(USD) depending on the rarity and cost of the particular marquee. Head on over to their Etsy shop now to check their current stock. Keep in mind that due to the age of these marquees, they’re not all in perfect condition, but that just adds to the arcade-y charm, IMHO.

And if you miss playing the classics, you can always load up some games on your arcade emulator while you admire your shiny new wall light.
