Oddbody Furbies Are Either Adorably Weird or Straight-up Nightmare Fuel

Oddbody Furbies Are Either Adorably Weird or Straight-up Nightmare Fuel
Furbies have always been a little creepy to me – perhaps it’s that I’ve seen what they look like on the inside that did it, or maybe it’s just their hypnotic eyeballs. Either way, they’re already pretty weird looking straight from the toy factory.

Treat Your Dog to a Custom Leather Suit of Armor

Treat Your Dog to a Custom Leather Suit of Armor
Depending on the breed of dog you have, they can look pretty tough all on their own. But if you’ve got a chihuahua or a pekingese and are looking to give your furry pal a meaner look, then may I suggest some leather dog armor.

Stained Glass TIE Fighter Lamp: The Empire Lights Up

Stained Glass TIE Fighter Lamp: The Empire Lights Up
One of the more satisfying sights in the original Star Wars trilogy was watching Imperial TIE fighters get blown to smithereens by the Rebellion. But this awesome stained glass TIE fighter lamp is one that I’d never want to see in pieces.

Floppy Disk Coasters: Protect Your Tabletop and Your Data

Floppy Disk Coasters: Protect Your Tabletop and Your Data
It’s been about two decades since I had to use a 3.5″ floppy disk for anything. I used to have boxes and boxes of the things packing everything from Microsoft Windows ridiculously bloated installers to various “warez” that I really shouldn’t have had in my possession.

This “Fully-operational” Steampunk Dalek Is Ready to Exterminate Your Bank Account

This “Fully-operational” Steampunk Dalek Is Ready to Exterminate Your Bank Account
I always wondered what it might be like if Doctor Who took place in a steampunk alternative universe. I think it would be pretty cool to have a TARDIS filled with gears and giant steam engines, and Cybermen and Daleks made from copper and brass.

Pickle Rick Christmas Ornament: I Turned Myself Into an Ornament, Morty!

Pickle Rick Christmas Ornament: I Turned Myself Into an Ornament, Morty!
One of the greatest incarnations of Rick Sanchez in the multiverse has to be Pickle Rick, who appeared for the first time this past August on season 3, episode 3. While he starts off completely ineffective, Pickle Rick quickly becomes a vicious killing machine thanks the suit he cobbles together from cockroach and rat parts.

These Steampunk Flash Drives are Insanely Awesome

These Steampunk Flash Drives are Insanely Awesome
Flash drives used to have some value, but these days, I’ve got boxes full of them – mostly handed to me by vendors presenting their products. To garner attention, companies have handed me USB drives that look like everything from a metal horse, to a twig, to a key fob from a $100,000 car.

Handmade Wooden Pinball Machines Feature Wonderful, Whimsical Illustrations

Handmade Wooden Pinball Machines Feature Wonderful, Whimsical Illustrations
I’ve always loved playing pinball machines. I even have a classic 1990s Terminator 2 pinball machine in my basement. But not everyone has the spare cash or space needed to have a full-size pinball machine in their house.

People with Geeky Glass Sculptures Shouldn’t Throw Stones

People with Geeky Glass Sculptures Shouldn’t Throw Stones
I think glass is one of the most amazing art mediums out there. It’s really difficult and dangerous to work with, but in the right hands, it can create amazing, intricate forms. If you’re into collecting art glass, but want something a little different, then check out these sculptures I spotted over on Etsy.

These Arcade Game Shadow Boxes are Simply Awesome

These Arcade Game Shadow Boxes are Simply Awesome
Do you love classic arcade games, but don’t have the room (or the cash) for an arcade cabinet in your living room? These fantastic pieces of arcade-inspired wall art are the next best thing. Each one of Glitch Arwork’s 3D shadow boxes uses a combination of authentic arcade graphics, along with some artistic license to make the scenes more dynamic and for the sake of composition.

Winter is Coming, Better Get These Dragon Scale Crochet Gloves

Winter is Coming, Better Get These Dragon Scale Crochet Gloves
It’s that time of year again. Winter will be here soon and that means it is just about time to start wearing gloves. This pair of dragon scale gloves by Etsy artist Mareshop is way better than anything you own.

The Doodle Duvet is Meant to Draw On

The Doodle Duvet is Meant to Draw On
My daughter is really into art right now. She’s also into curling up in bed under her massive comforter even if it’s literally 113-degrees outside. This means I have to tell her at least once a week to not get markers on her fancy bedding that she couldn’t live without.

Stay on Target with These Crocheted X-Wing Fighter Blankets

Stay on Target with These Crocheted X-Wing Fighter Blankets
These crocheted X-wing Fighter blankets are awesome. They not only look like X-Wing fighters and are warm and cozy, but you can also crawl inside! A blanket that is also a ship that you can pilot?

Super Mario Bros. Cat Treehouse: Scratch World 1-1

Super Mario Bros. Cat Treehouse: Scratch World 1-1
Your cats are going to love warping from one level to another when they play in this Super Mario Bros. cat treehouse. You’ll have to provide the sound effects when they bump the coin box or travel up the pipe, but it will be totally worth it.

Millennium Falcon Snack Tray Has Got Chips and Dip Where It Counts

Millennium Falcon Snack Tray Has Got Chips and Dip Where It Counts
The Millennium Falcon snack tray is an elegant tray from a more civilized age. It will hold a good bit of snack food, but sadly, it doesn’t have any hidden compartments to smuggle in more. This beautiful snack freighter was created by Texas-based Deric Peveto of Wood By Hand.

Crochet Big Daddy: Itchy Daddy

Crochet Big Daddy: Itchy Daddy
My grandmother used to do a lot of crochet when I was growing up. She was always making me some sort of socks or a blanket. I hated those blankets. Not only did they have tons of holes to let cold air in, they were itchy as well.
