Hasta La Gadget!

These coasters make a very simple statement. If you don’t beat the Space Invaders, your ass is grass. And they are the cosmic lawnmower. Can’t beat the high score? Let’s face it, this game is turf. I have a million of ‘em… and they are all that bad.

On the other hand, these coasters are pretty cool. You don’t see the Space Invaders come in a grass version very often. These are the work of Etsy artist LoveFromCyprus.

These Space Invaders don’t even bother forming ranks. They all shoot solo from the grassy knoll. They measure approximately 5″(w) x 3″(h) and will keep your furniture free from damage – though you will now have a house full of aliens.

You get six coasters for ~$20.87(USD), or eight coasters for ~$27.82(USD).

Sometimes, one needs a catalyst to get going or started on a particular activity. When it comes to spending money, I am quite sure that most folks do not have any qualms in doing so, and are pretty good at it to boot. However, saving money is another issue altogether that some people find it difficult to do. Why not encourage yourself (as well as the little ones in your home) with the $20.99 Space Invaders Bank? Each time you drop a quarter into the Space Invaders Bank, it will play out retro sounds from the classic arcade game, as long as the pair of AA batteries residing within still have an adequate amount of juice, that is.

Do bear in mind that this is an officially-licensed Space Invaders merchandise, so you do not have to feel ashamed that you have picked up some sort of bootlegged household device. This is one way of saving the earth instead of shooting down aliens – the more money you save, the more you will spend time thinking about maximizing your existing financial resources, which could translate to taking on a greener lifestyle. If you have long been on the lookout for a positive reinforcement tool to save, you would not go wrong with the Space Invaders Bank.

There is just something about old school games that make us want to play and indulge in them from time to time. Those were the days when simple graphics and engrossing, and yet direct, gameplay could suck hours of our time with our imagination going into overdrive. Well, if you have a penchant for all things old school, or know someone who does, perhaps forking out some dough for the £24.99 Space Invaders Alien Lamp might just be the perfect gift.

The Space Invaders Alien Lamp will obviously arrive in the form of the retro and lone looking space invader, with the ability to change its color while it functions as a night light. Even better is, this is an officially licensed device by Taito, and best of all, you will not be shooting it down anytime soon as it will remain in a stationary position without shuffling horizontally in a relentless manner. This time around, it will bring light to your surroundings, instead of the expected death.

I love all things Space Invaders. I’m just a sucker for anything featuring those 8-bit aliens. I also love to read, so these adorable Book Invaders are perfect.

These fun bookmarks were created by Elod Beregszaszi and they are ready to land inside your favorite books, with you in charge of the invasion and giving orders about which page to assault.

Sadly they are out of stock at the moment, but they were too cool not to share. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon and we can buy some. I would buy one of each. Space Invaders are no good unless you have a small army.

I am quite sure that many of us have fond memories of Space Invaders back in our younger days, where our imagination did far more work than the video processor on computer motherboards back then. There might be just a few pixels that dot the screen, moving from left to right and left again, but in our minds, the earth is on the verge of an alien invasion, and you are the last hope left to stave off these foreign invaders without getting killed by their advanced weaponry. Well, the $12.99 Space Invaders Wind-Ups Two-Pack is certainly a gift worth giving away to those who want to take a trip down memory lane. As you wind them up and release them on your desk, you will be treated to a sight that sees them skitter around on your desk in the same manner as that of the game – back and forth.

Each set will feature one pink and one green invader, which is something that we wished would not be limited. Why can’t they just come out with different colors for the entire set instead? One thing is for sure though – these Space Invaders Wind-Ups Two-Pack will come in peace since they lack the capability to shoot lasers at you, and you will have to hum the soundtrack and make your own sound effects to up the realism ante.
