Artist Lucy Sparrow of Felt Sew Good makes several cushions based on old Nintendo systems. For starters, theres a shiny Famicom controller, which looks like it would make a nice pillow behind your neck during long gaming sessions.

There’s also a Game Boy cushion as well as a Super Nintendo console along with a matching controller. What I love about these is that they’re not just tiny pillows – each one is quite substantial.

While those are all awesome, my favorite has to be the one based on the all-time classic controller from the original Nintendo Entertainment System.

Each cushion sells for £37 (~$59 USD) plus £7.50 (~$12 USD) for shipping to the U.S., and can be ordered over at Felt Sew Good’s online shop, where you can also find Lucy’s cool ZX Spectrum and Speak and Spell cushions. Cat ears not included.

Created in Northern Ireland by jewelry artist William White, the Killer Charm Bracelet comes with a Walther PPK, a hand grenade, hatchet, monkey wrench, a cleaver and a chainsaw. The deadly sterling silver charms sort of remind me of the game pieces from Clue – except there’s no tiny noose or candlestick here. What makes this bracelet really cool is that thanks to its deadly charms, it could be worn by either a girl or a guy too. Personally, I’ve never worn a bracelet, but I might start with this one.

If the $230 to $300(USD) bracelet is too much for your wallet, be sure to check out William’s Etsy shop, where you can also find individual weapons on necklaces or earings for $50 to $80 each.

Ukranian artist Mykola Kolomieyets is just that person. He designed all of the components for the clock and uses CNC machining technology to cut all the parts. He then hand-assembles them to create a functional timepiece. On the surface, these clocks look a bit like their mass-produced predecessors, but they’re so much more special having been built by hand.

Each clock uses a set of spinning mechanical plates to tell the current hour and minutes, and the clock is backlight for nighttime viewing as well. You can choose from a 12 hour or 24 hour version as well. The base model doesn’t include an alarm, so it’s best used in your living room or on a desk, but that’s probably for the best, since this thing makes a rather noticeable “tick” sound every time the hour or minute changes.

There is a more expensive alarm version too, but I’d be afraid that it would keep me up at night. Still, it’s an impressive bit of work if you ask me.

The handmade flip clocks are available over at Mykola’s Etsy shop for $165(USD) without an alarm, and $250 with an alarm, and come in a couple of different finishes. You can check out some of Mykola’s other mechanical clock designs over on his YouTube page.

Each cutting board is made by David Abramson using 256 individually cut strips of ash, cherry and walnut woods, glued together into a butcher block. Since each one is handmade, you’ll see slight variances in every cutting board, but that makes them just that more special in my opinion. The cutting boards measure 11-3/4″ square x 1-1/4″ thick, which should definitely hold at least a few coins or a Fire Flower.

Now you didn’t hear this from me, but if you get out one of those meat pounder things and start smacking on this thing, some coins or power-ups might very well start flying out of the bottom. Or not. Regardless, you know you want one, and you can grab your very own Mario cutting block over at Etsy for $85(USD). Pixel art Mario is unfortunately not included.

The cool thing about the Female Form 6-string acoustic guitar is that it’s a little bit of both. It’s a quirkily-designed guitar, and while it’s not exactly a girl, it’s shaped like the torso of a female. (Read: it has all the right curves.)

The guitar is made-to-order only and is available from Celentano Woodworks on Etsy for $2,700 (USD). It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely unique.

There’s something cool about recycling old gadgets. While I don’t think that you should go ahead and destroy perfectly working cameras, no matter when they were made, broken and discarded ones can be reused in this fashion.

Each of these docks is handmade and unique, which is even better. They are available from Laboratoria Altieri’s Etsy shop with prices starting around $69 (USD). There are currently only a couple of models available, but once they sell out there will be probably more listed.

I’d love to see this done as a 1-up mushroom. That would be even cooler because each purchase would give you another life.

If your taste runs more toward Pokémon, then check out this Pikachu coffee cozy. There are just too many cool items to buy from her shop. Stuff to keep you or your coffee warm; stuff to keep your head warm. Boba fett is probably my favorite. What do you guys think?

You got that right, Mike. From the looks of this incredible thing, you’ve definitely got the giant sword thing down. It’s made from steel and weighs in at a whopping 33.5 pounds, so you’ll definitely need some upper body strength if you plan on wielding this thing in battle. The only thing missing is the glowing red eyes for the skull. But a couple of LEDs and a battery should take care of that, right?

Want proof that it’s made out of metal? Watch this video clip and see how shiny the steel remains after a bath in 1000 degree fire. It also proves the sword doesn’t glow like Dante’s. He’d have to get the heat up to 2000+ degrees to make it do that.

If you’d like one for yourself, Michael will make you your very own Rebellion sword for $850(USD). The build takes about 2 months from the time you place your order. But even if you don’t buy one, be sure to check out the photos of this incredible build here.

This gigantic Darth Vader soap weighs a full 1 kilogram (~2.2 pounds), and is sure to last you a very long time in the bath. At that size, it’s about 10 times the weight of an ordinary bar of soap, so you’ll probably need to slice it up to use it. It’s made by Etsy seller La Pretentieuse (The Pretentious), using their bamboo and spices soap as a base. While I never quite imagined that the aroma of the Dark Side was bamboo and spices, I suppose it’s better than the smell  of Anakin’s burnt flesh and sweat.

You should note that since the jumbo Vader soap is made with black oxide, that it’s lather will be grey – despite the fact that it’s getting you clean. I like to think that bathing with this would eventually pull you over to the Dark Side, but that’s just me.

Priced at $85(USD), it’s definitely the most expensive bar of soap I’ve ever seen, but somebody has to help fund the construction of the next Death Star I suppose.

Handcrafted with care by John William Dunn of Victorian Steam Austin, the iCog Hades is basically a wooden iPad stand with a matching keyboard. Use the two together, and you can transform your close-to-brand-new device into a vintage, steampunk laptop. You can also detach the top lid from the keyboard to use it as a standalone bumper case for your iPad, if you prefer. The keyboard has custom brass covers and hooks up to your device via Bluetooth.

Of course, you don’t expect something this spectacular-looking to come cheap. The iCog Hades is priced at $424(USD) and is available from Victorian Steam’s Etsy shop.

They’re produced using a craft technique called decoupage using simple napkin paper, which gives them a colorful and durable finish. It’s hard to tell, but I’m guessing there’s a plastic base underneath the napkin layer, but I could be wrong. Either way, they look pretty nice.

The cases were created by NapPage and you can get them through their Etsy shop. They’ve got quite a few different designs that will please a lot of different styles. I have to say that the blue cloud cases are pretty cool.

Prices start at $19.90(USD). NapPage says that they’ll also make custom orders for any type of phone, so you can contact them over on Etsy for further details.

This nifty NES controller necklace is made by LicketyCut using laser cutting, engraving and painting. Each one is crafted from five pieces of acrylic, hand-assembled and then attached to a 24″ chain. I really like how the A-B buttons and D-Pad are stacked on top to give it added dimension and a tactile feel.

At just 2-1/2″ (w) x 1-1/14″ (h), it’s quite a bit smaller than a real controller, but that just means it’ll look better hanging around your neck. After all, if you wanted a full-size one you could just buy an old controller and attach a chain to it. This version looks a lot more refined in my opinion.

The NES controller necklace sells for just $25(USD) and can be found over on Etsy.

The DODOcase comes in granite/poppy, meadow/lake, tahoe/sunrise, and sandy/earth. They are handmade in San Francisco and the colors used were inspired by California’s natural hues. The cases themselves are made using traditional bookbinding techniques, which now includes a new solid bamboo core. The cases also double as a stand. If you are a fan of Rhodia and Moleskine notebooks, then you’ll probably like this book-like case for your new iPad.

They are available from DODOcase for $79.95(USD). For $4.95 extra, you can get a camera hole.

These crocheted amigurumi Stark family characters were made by Kati of Luna’s Crafts, and perfectly capture the personas of whole clan. There’s Ned, Catelyn, Robb, Sansa, Bran (who appears to be standing with the help of a couple of direwolf pups,) Arya (and her needle), and Jon Snow, complete with his flowing black locks and white wolf puppy, Ghost. Given the way season one ended, Eddard is looking better than we’ve seen him in a while.

Looks like this set is long gone (or was possibly a custom job), but if you’re interested in putting in a special order for yourself, you can head over to Luna’s Crafts Etsy shop and do so. Personally, I’d like a set with Tyrion Lannister, Khal Drogo, Daenerys Targaryen and her tiny dragon kids. Oh, and The Mountain. On a tiny crocheted horse.

These boards measure about 12 x 17 x 1.5 inches and sell for $125(USD). Given the price I would say that it’s for hardcore Zelda fans only. They are handmade, so if you order one you will get it within 2 weeks as they take some time to create.

You can find it on Etsy from seller 1337motif, who obviously loves both food prep and a good game of Zelda. Sure it’s expensive, but it’s made to last and it has a Triforce on it. Surely those factors justify a purchase. But if it’s still too expensive for you, consider grabbing a set of Triforce coasters for just $50.

Final Audio’s Muramasa VIII luxurious headphones look beautiful, but tech specs are a little sketchy at this point. One thing for sure is that they’re heavy – they weigh nearly two pounds, which is a lot of extra weight to carry around on your head. They include a two-way 40mm driver with a 16 Ohm impedance and 108dB sensitivity. The drivers don’t have a separate tweeter, which is one of the reasons they say they are so heavy.

The Final Audio Muramasa VIII headphones will be released next month for $8,000(USD). Hopefully, if you’re going to buy some of these, you’ll be able to test them out first.

The Portal blanket was created by Flickr contributor DoctorMoo, and measures in at a whopping 9 feet by 6 feet, and weighs in at 7 pounds, so it’s definitely substantial. It took Moo about 74 hours of crocheting – and countless hours of planning to pull off this brilliant feat of geekery, and it looks like it was worth it.

While it doesn’t appear that the blanket is up for sale, you can certainly grab a cool crocheted Portal scarf over at DoctorMoo’s Etsy shop for just $35(USD).

While you can’t actually buy the exact one he wore (I’m sure that anything that Bieber touches instantly is worth ungodly amounts of cash), you can own one made by the same artist – based on the same design worn by the teen pop idol.

This cool neo-Victorian glove is handmade by artist Ian Finch-Field of SkinzNhydez, who specializes in leather steampunk goods. It’s made from leather, brass, rivets, studs, an old pocket watch, and even has a working LEDs built into it.  Each glove is made to order and appears to have had some design refinements since Bieber wore his. For some reason, it makes me think of a steampunk Iron Man – if he were played by Justin Bieber instead of Robert Downey, Jr.

If you just have to do everything Bieber does, or just think it looks cool despite Justin wearing it, you can buy one of just ten of these being made over on Etsy – for $1,700 CAD (~$1,765 USD). While that might seem a bit expensive, at least your purchase will go to a good cause, with 20% of of each one sold going to the Greater Victoria Animal Crusaders.
