We’ve got a secret we’d like to share: just because you rent your own apartment, have bought your own home, or live in a dorm, it doesn’t mean you’re such an adult that you have to lose sight of the fun, nerdy things you love. We’ve put together some of the coolest, nerdiest home decor items outside of Nintendo bed sheets.

Lightsaber coat hooks are an essential way to hang your jedi robe and BB-8 purse.

These classic book throw pillows express your love for the literary.

ART IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE BEAUTY

Van Gogh to sleep with this comfy Starry Night TARDIS throw blanket.

"At the Enrichment Center, we promise never to value your safety above your unique ideas and creativity. However, do not slip on this Portal companion cube throw rug."

All your drinks are belong to these Mega Man 2 coasters.

This modular Tetris lamp can be stacked any which way, and the pieces illuminate on contact with each other.

That’s no moon… it’s a color changing Death Star lamp.

This Pac-Mac ghost USB lamp is not too spooky for us. It comes in 4 colors: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde.

Is this a nifty sculpture or a Fallout Power Armor helmet coin bank? Why not both?

These Han and Leia bathroom towels feature one of their most famous quotes, but for bath time, we’d also have settled with “Get in there, you big furry oaf. I don’t care what you smell!”

Transport yourself to cleanliness with a Star Trek transporter room shower curtain.

Sure, this Chinese food take-out container laundry hamper isn’t fandom related, but can you really pass up the opportunity to have one in your bathroom?

Harness your inner Time Lord with the 11th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver as a toothbrush. (Do Time Lords even worry about oral care, or do they regenerate dental problems away? Hmm).

A Hazmat bath mat should be a really funny joke and not an indicator of how long you go between showers.

Winter is coming. Also, if you have these Game of Thrones map marker salt and pepper shakers, gourmet seasoning is coming.

These Star Wars planet drinking glasses are both gorgeous decor and an excellent geography lesson.

Harness your inner Daenerys (khaleesi for you casuals) with this Game of Thrones dragon egg cookie jar. Repeat after us: “Where. Are. My. Cookies?!”

Roll a crit on your morning coffee with this d20 coffee mug. (If you roll a 1, you get decaf).

Sure, you can have cereal in this shark attack bowl, but we think it’s best used for snacks. Nothing beats reaching into the maw of this super scary great white with your precious hand.

Make your spices scientific with this chemist’s spice rack. Our only complaint: the salt is not labeled NaCl.

Sugar Bombs were the most popular cereal in America before the war. Today, dusty old boxes decorate the shelves of abandoned homes throughout the wasteland. Harness nostalgia with a Sugar Bombs cereal bowl. It’s the best cereal you never had.

You know the best way to use this robot tea infuser? While singing the Flight of the Conchords song “Robots.” Binary solo!

Display which house in Westeros you think is the besteros with Game of Thrones house sigil cookie cutters.

This sleeping dragon cake pan makes us think of the Hogwarts slogan: "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus". Or, in English: never tickle a sleeping dragon.

If your kitchen features an X-Wing knife block set, you not only get some new cutlery and an awesome X-Wing stand, but when you’re chopping vegetables you can also shout “Red 5, stabbing by!”

We suppose we could feature normal garden gnomes, but this ain’t your grandma’s garden. Make your mark on the neighborhood with a rampaging kaiju eating garden gnomes statue.

Not all gnomes are built to survive. This poor red shirt garden gnome was doomed as soon as he wore scarlet.

With this Game of Gnomes garden statue, you firmly declare: One gnome to rule them all, one gnome to find them, one gnome to--wait, wrong franchise.

These poor gnomes just can’t catch a break, can they? Round out your awesome garden decor collection with this zombie gnome statue. Braaaaaains.

Welcome to the Dark Side with a Darth Vader or Stormtrooper porch light cover. That is, unless you turn the light on.

Wow, you got to the end of our post? Have a cat tax! It’s a bucking sharkaroo shirt. Yee haw.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you, ebay?

Think Geek is great, but it's wildly overpriced. I can't find the Death Star light on there right now, though.

You could, they would have to be flat though. If the pieces don't make perfect contact they don't light up. It's just not a great product.

Why can't they just make/sell decent shit? I'd pay for it if it worked or was decent quality.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Because that's how most businesses work. Whatever brings them more money is what they'll sell. Their stuff is cheap, get what you pay for.

Gamestop bought them out, what I had gotten from them before that was good.. now its crap.

It's so sad. There have been exceptions, but the vast majority of stuff I've gotten from TG has been crap. I stopped buying from them.
