TARDIS String Lights: I Know What’s Going on My Christmas Tree This Year

There’s no more iconic symbol of geekdom than Doctor Who’s TARDIS. You could pretty much make anything into a TARDIS, and it’ll not only be cool, but everyone will know exactly what you’re into. So the next time you throw an outdoor party – or just want to decorate your house – pick up a set of these TARDIS string lights, and proudly fly your geek flag.

Each set of TARDIS lights comes with ten tiny TARDISes (TARDi?) strung together on a 9-foot-long cord. And just like most holiday lights, you can plug multiple strings into each other to make a longer one. I wonder if you could shrink yourself and step inside one of the miniature TARDi, if there’d be a set of time and space controls inside.

Doctor Who fans (or blue police box fans) can grab a string of these TARDIS lights over at ThinkGeek for $19.99(USD). Grab ‘em now if you want to be sure to have them decorate your holiday tree this year. One ThinkGeek commenter even suggested a Weeping Angel tree-topper to go with.


Bat-Signal String Art Calls the Dark Knight with Craft

If Jim Gordon had a thing for crafts, this is the Bat-signal that we would get. The upside is that it can still be dramatically killed by an axe, but Batman has to be really close to see it.

All you need is some thread, nails, a ton of patience and a desire to summon Batman and you too can make one. It actually does light up from behind as well, so maybe Batman can see it from a slight distance after all.

Why hasn’t anyone tried calling Spider-Man with this sort of thing? It’s basically a spider web right? Then you don’t waste this on Batman. The right tool for the right job and all that. Spider-Man would love this. And Peter Parker needs some gimmick where Police can call him anyhow, right? It’s a cool piece of art, I just really want Spidey to have his own signal.
