Whoever made that awesome Portal Christmas tree should get these officially licensed Companion Cube string lights. Hopefully they won’t short and burn your house down. Because I’m sure they remember what you did.…

We feature tons of cool stuff from Japan on Technabob over the years, but one of the big deterrents to picking up some fun and unusual gadgets from the other side of the Pacific Ocean has been the cost of shipping them around the world.…

It’s rare that we take a day off here at Technabob, but instead of researchin’ and ‘ritin (and ‘rithmatic) we’re going to gather ’round the table for some turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pie, more pie, and any other carbs we can get our hands on today.…

Do you have empty spaces on your tree that aren’t filled with geeky ornaments? You could cut out your own paper snowflakes, or you could fill up those empty spaces with these laser-cut, acrylic Star Wars snowflake ornaments.…

If you’ve got a gamer in the house, there’s no better place to hide their littlest Christmas presents than in this retro 8-bit Christmas stocking.

It’s that time of year again. Geeks are making gingerbread treats that look like other cool things. In this case it’s a gingerbread Breezehome from Skyrim made by a super cute girl.…

If you have kids and they’re anything like mine, they are apt to bust out singing and dancing at any given moment to some sort of soundtrack in their heads.…

Would I spend hour upon hour to complete a 7-foot Dalek, that’s appropriately garbed for the holidays? Probably not, but that didn’t stop the Addis family from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK, from going for it.…

I have to make a confession. I bookmarked this image all the way back in January 2009, thinking to myself that I should post it for Christmas that year.…

It’s a good thing I don’t have to deal with people gifting me holiday pullovers. When I’m old and doing nothing but gaming all day, I hope this Mario-inspired design by Tim Shumate is still around and available as a sweater.…
