If you are bored of everything in your home and office do the mature thing, box all of your stuff up and donate it to a charity for an end-of-the-year tax write-off, then, load up your abode and workplace with all new stuff.
Like our holiday picks.
Isn’t being in constant, debilitating debt fun?
Pac-Man Arcade Machine Cocktail Table
Paying almost $3000 for this awesome game table might make some game dorks (like my husband) scoff at spending that kind of money, especially since you could build a MAME (Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator) for a similar cost with thousands of games, but let’s face it, not everyone wants to deal with all of that, sometimes they (me) just want to sit down at a table arcade with a pint of beer and play Ms. Pac-Man until she is good and drunk.
And dammit, this sweet-ass table arcade will provide that for you (me) along with twelve other games that will bring back some rose-colored memories: Pac-Man, Galaga, Rally X, Mappy, Xevious, Galaxian, Pac-Mania, Rolling Thunder, Bosconian, Dragon Spirit, Galaga 88 and Dig Dug.
Built with an upgraded 19″ diagonal LCD, authentic arcade controls and commercial grade construction and available in a wood grain or black finish (or as an upright arcade game if that is your thing) this is the one piece of furniture in your house that will get plenty of use.
Think of like the fridge, but with more Pac-Man.
If
you are old enough to remember the days when you could collect actual
glass pint glasses from your favorite fast food restaurants, than this
set of 4 Alien pint glasses will almost certainly throw you back to those good ole days.Designed
to look as if they were created in the 70s (without all the lead in the
paint) and sporting some pretty sweet movie scenes (including the
stomach burster), you can comfortably take a swill of beer from these
glasses and remember back when kids weren’t obese from eating
“child-sized” buckets fries.(sigh)
The Hugibo is part of the Yogibo line of bean bags that contour to your body and can be shaped into couches, chairs or beds. The Hugibo can do all of that as well, except that he has has a face and the ability to hug, making him perfect for kids (or adults who might be interested in some cuddle companionship…I don’t judge).
He is also completely washable, so just skin him and throw him into the washer and dryer to get him squeaky clean.
Easy-Peasy.
You know, a hug would be kinda nice right about now.
Butter dishes always seem like quaint reminders of grandma’s house, but I don’t see why we have to relegate a functional butter keeper to the wavy ether of memory, especially when you can put a stick inside a ceramic replica of a boombox.
In fact, I think we should bring back all the good things, like sitting around a dinner table after a hard day of work and yelling at your family…just like they used to do.
Only now when you are criticizing your loved-ones you can do it while a killer butter dish is sitting in front of you.
Sometimes the old ways are the best.
U.S.S. Enterprise Projection Alarm Clock
Wake-up and boldly go back to sleep with this projection alarm clock that will throw numbers on a wall or ceiling as if it were trapping time in a tractor beam.
Setting your alarm to 6am has never felt so nerdy…Engage.
Combine your love of literature with a love of punk and set a glass on it. These waterproof, wooden coasters featuring the authors: Thoreau, Austen, Dickinson and Kafka will last the test of time (similar to the works of these authors) and keep the wet rings of death off your coffee table.
Even better, with each coaster purchase, one book will be sent to a community in need.
Sweet.
In its heyday, the mixtape was a musical love letter, specially planned to covertly express hidden crushes, power ballad-worthy connections, and good old fashioned friendship. Welcome guests to your home using the same nostalgic expression with this personalized door mat.
Designed by graphic artist Jim Holodak, this retro mat features your family name on the mix’s title line, along with classic cassette detail set in colorfast dye. And while they can’t be furtively slipped through the slots in your cute lab partner’s locker, these time-honored tapes can be taken indoor or outdoors, wherever your musical taste may land.
This amazing 71″ by 74″ polyester shower curtain needs little to no description…just stare at it for a while and imagine how awesome it’s going to look in your bathroom.
If you are going to buy only one pillow cover this year, look no further than this 16″x 16″ Mr. T one (for obvious reasons).
I pity the fool who does not buy a pair of these for their couch.
If you spend your days dreaming off a slice of pepperoni pizza, why not spend your nights wrapped up in one?
Available in Queen, Full, Twin, European double and European single size, every bed in your home will look like a piping hot pie of awesomeness.
I’m hungry just thinking about all the good sleep I’ll be getting.
Hello Kitty 2-Slice Wide Slot Toaster With Cool Touch Exterior
If you think Hello Kitty is so cute that you just want to eat her up, go right ahead! This colorful 2-slot toaster browns Kitty’s sweet face onto every slice of bread. The appliance features 7 shade settings and 4 toasting modes: bagel, defrost, reheat and cancel. Extra-wide slots let you warm thick slices, and a removable crumb tray makes cleanup easy. The decorative cool-touch exterior looks cheerful on your counter top, and has cord storage in the base.
It doesn’t take the eugenically enhanced brain of Khan to know that this 39″ x 71″ rug of the U.S.S. Enterprise might be one of the sexiest things next to an Orion Slave Girl hopped up on Romulan Ale.
Me, I just think it really ties my nerd room together.
DC Comic Panel Action Pint Glass Set
Sometimes, you need choices in pint glasses. Plain glass is just so…ugh…plain! Let’s get some meta-humans in there with the DC Comic Panel Action Pint Glass Set, shall we? Each pint glass in this fantastic set pays homage to one of the ‘Big Guns’ of DC Comics; Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman are all displayed in multiple frames and in vintage styles. Holding 16 ounces each, the DC Comic Panel Action Pint Glass Set will surely make that cabinet of yours more Justice League-y. Yeah, that’s a word!
Petite Étoile Morte (Tiny Death Star Rug)
That’s no rug, that’s a space station!
Well, actually, it is a rug. A perfect little 3’x3′ Hand-tufted powerful thick plush rug that will blow your room design into a million pieces.
God, it’s just so cute…I want to use it for my bathroom where I can take a droid-sized dump and just stare at it.
Frankenstein’s Monster Key Lime Soap
I don’t know why scary stuff only gets to come out for Halloween, as far as I’m concerned anything that makes me feel weird inside has the right to hang around all year long (which is why I still have my Halloween decorations up in my yard…even though it pisses off my neighbors).
And this Frankenstein’s Monster Key Lime soap would look dashing sitting in a soap dish in my bathroom staring at whomever had to pee regardless of what time of year it is.
You know what? The next time one of my neighbors remark that putting a Santa hat on a skeleton doesn’t equal Xmas decorations, I’m going to explain how scary my credit cards bills are this time of year and I am merely expressing that through yard decor.
I think that sounds reasonable.
Everyone has a Beatles fan on their list so why not gift them a set of the Fab Four ornaments from The Yellow Submarine movie?
They’ll love it, next year’s tree will look smashing and, it’ll be a present that will get used for years to come.Better than another gift card to Starbucks.
I’m kind of getting a weird “sexy” vibe from this 8 1/2 x 15 1/2 retro-style Tinker Bell pillow, which is sort of strange seeing that it’s from The Disney Store, but hey I’m all for double entendre, especially during the holidays, so yeah, I could totally throw this pillow on the couch and see what the family thinks.
Yep, that sounds like fun.
It’s a 15″ x 6.4″ x 7.5″ resin Lawn Ornament of an AT-AT who’s fallen and can’t get up.WHY ISN’T THIS ALREADY IN YOUR SHOPPING CART PEOPLE!
I’m So Excited” Jessie Spano Coffee Mug
Mug is inspired by one of the most classic moments in Saved By the Bell history… heck, maybe in television history. Jessie Spano’s addiction to pills gets out of hand.
She’s not so excited. Really, she’s so scared.
And now you can drink out of her fear.
Perfect for anyone who can quote lines from the show without shame.
DON’T PANIC (Fresh Towel) — Book Lovers’ Scented Soy Candle
Always carry a fresh towel…if you don’t have one, maybe this 8oz. Fresh Towel/Green Tea-scented candle might help out.
Or, at the very least it can illuminate where you are and smell good.
