Awesome Headphones for Gamers and Geeks: See Me, Hear Me…

There are a million and one headphones on the market, so how do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could pick them just on the basis of how they sound and fit your hear, but that would be boring. Why not pick your next pair of ‘phones strictly on the way they look, then worry about those other factors later?

The shop also has many more geek properties available in ornament (and flowerpot) form. Seriously there is something for everyone and it all looks great.

TMNT Flower Pots: Heroes in Your Herb Garden

While I usually associate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with unhealthy food like pizza, it turns out the turtles can also be used to encourage healthy eating. Assuming, that is, that you plant some delicious edible plants and herbs in these TMNT flower pots and don’t use them to serve slices of cold pizza.

They’re handpainted by artist John Moriarty, and 50 bucks buys you the complete set of four pots, including Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo. And if you don’t have a green thumb, you could always use these for storing pens, pencils, action figures, katanas or other whatnots.

You can find the full set over on Ginger Pots Etsy shop, where you can also fill your garden with pots adorned with Mario, Sonic, Optimus Prime and The Avengers among others.
