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

Posted on by

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.

The first time I saw the episode, I immediately thought about how it’s a common holiday tradition to hang a pickle on Christmas trees, and how a Pickle Rick Christmas ornament would be a great addition to our tree this year. I then went on to completely forget about this idea until I saw this.

Telestic Design is making these fun, handpainted wood ornaments featuring the likeness of Pickle Rick, which will look great hanging in your tree alongside all of your other ornaments. I like the idea of doing a complete Rick and Morty tree, filled with ornaments of Mr. Poopybutthole, Snuffles the dog, Fart, Cromulon, King Flippy Nips, and the rest of the gang. There are certainly enough crazy characters out there to fill an entire tree.

The ornaments are available from Etsy for $10, but I also saw them up on Amazon for just $9.

Awesome Headphones for Gamers and Geeks: See Me, Hear Me…

Posted on by

There are a million and one headphones on the market, so how do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could pick them just on the basis of how they sound and fit your hear, but that would be boring. Why not pick your next pair of ‘phones strictly on the way they look, then worry about those other factors later?

Halloween isn’t even here yet, and here I am talking about Christmas already. Forget those traditional ornaments like angels, snowmen and Santas. Geek up your tree this year and deck the halls with some Nintendo spirit. These cool ornaments should do the trick.

The shop also has many more geek properties available in ornament (and flowerpot) form. Seriously there is something for everyone and it all looks great. You will have a hard time NOT spending money in her store. Don’t be afraid to display them year round either. Hang some from your Halloween costume even!

TMNT Flower Pots: Heroes in Your Herb Garden

Posted on by

While I usually associate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with unhealthy food like pizza, it turns out the turtles can also be used to encourage healthy eating. Assuming, that is, that you plant some delicious edible plants and herbs in these TMNT flower pots and don’t use them to serve slices of cold pizza.

They’re handpainted by artist John Moriarty, and 50 bucks buys you the complete set of four pots, including Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo. And if you don’t have a green thumb, you could always use these for storing pens, pencils, action figures, katanas or other whatnots.

You can find the full set over on Ginger Pots Etsy shop, where you can also fill your garden with pots adorned with Mario, Sonic, Optimus Prime and The Avengers among others.


Hand-Painted Boba Fett Shoes for Your Boba Feet

Posted on by

I was so busy looking at his awesome helmet, blaster rifle and jet pack, I have no recollection what Boba Fett was wearing on his feet. While I’m guessing he donned some sort of military boots, I’m pretty certain they didn’t look like this.

These handpainted Boba Fett Toms shoes look comfy enough, and will slip onto your feet faster than you can say “Sarlacc Pit.” They’re made by GeekyFootwear, and perfectly capture Fett’s iconic helmet design – except on your feet instead of your head. I don’t much care for using them to stomp on Chewbacca’s head though. Actually, I’m pretty sure Chewie would rip off your arms (and legs) before you could even attempt such a feat with your feet.

But anyhow, I digress. If you’d like some Boba Fett shoes for your feet, a pair will set you back $80(USD) over on Etsy.
