Though summer may quickly be coming to an end (horrible feeling here in Michigan), ice cubes are always nice to have around. Especially if those ice cubes are shaped like Han Solo frozen in carbonite and the galaxy’s favorite astromech droid, R2D2. Read more...

Garden gnomes have been getting some bad press lately with a certain travel site making the age old garden protectors seem... less than smart. They’re tired of it (can you blame them?) and have taken up arms to remind everyone just how serious their job is -- somebody has to keep those pink flamingos in check, right? Read more...

We all know that rundown back lot and unkempt urban park could benefit from some beautification. Sadly, some municipalities don’t have the budget (or drive) to keep their parks in proper order these days. That’s where Flower Grenades come in. Just toss one of these eco-bombs in a dingy corner of your yard or local park and watch it breathe new life into an otherwise unsavory landscape. Read more...

When a Windows PC freezes up we all know what to do -- press ctrl+alt+delete until the piece of crap reboots and tells you just how naughty you‘ve been. Unfortunately, when our brain gets all mucked up we don’t have the same option… or do we?
ThinkGeek has a set of awesome Ctrl-Alt-Delete coffee cups that look like actual keyboard keys when they’re flipped over. Now whenever our brain is locked up we’ll be able to reboot in no time! They even come with a circuit board etched tray to set them on when they’re not in use. Read more...

It’s the little things that keep us happy and the excitement I felt when I saw these Triforce coasters currently selling on Etsy proves it.

A couple weeks ago we showed you some Marvel Superhero Hoodies and while there’s no denying those were awesome, these Star Wars Costume hoodies we stumbled across at ThinkGeek might be a little cooler.
There are 3 designs - Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper. Each features a zip-up hood (something those Marvel hoodies left out) to complete the costume with a mask. The back of the Darth Vader hoodie is blank and the Stormtrooper version sports a Star Wars logo. Boba Fett is definitely our favorite because it features an all around design with the jetpack printed on the back -- sadly it’s not functional. Read more...

ThinkGeek has had a bunch of Minecraft-themed products available for a little while now and it looks like the nerdy online retailer just added two new ones!
First up is the Minecraft Foam Pickaxe. It’s modeled after the same pickaxe players use in-game, though you probably won’t be able to do any real mining with it. Second is the Minecraft Sticky Notecude which I imagine could be a little more useful than a foam pickaxe... Read more...
