It’s a bit of a Star Wars fest on the random ideas front this week; first up we have T-shirts from Firebox. They have a selection of half price Star Wars Lego shirts featuring various designs including Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Boba Fett for £7.69 each. Click here to take a look.
Also on the Firebox site we found lightsaber tie pins . Available in Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader designs, these exquisite little items are half price at £20 each.
Staying with Firebox we have one of the most bizarre things we’ve ever featured here on bargains. Proving that George Lucas certainly hasn’t totally sold out on the merchandising front, we are proud to present the wooden Star Wars R2-D2 nutcracker . A must have for all true Star Wars fans, I’m sure you’ll agree. This amazing bit of tat can be yours for £9.98 . Not wanting to leave the Dark Side out, you can also pick up a stormtrooper version for £11.09 and a Darth Vader design for £10.49 . Is there anything left out there that doesn’t have Star Wars tie-in merchandise? Still, all joking aside we reckon these three are quirky enough that they’d look great just on display.
Something for all the zombies out there next with this brains shaped jelly mould . Freak your friends out by serving them brains for dessert. It can be yours for just £5 . Braaainz!
Finally for this week the lovely Game of Thrones Hand of the King decorative pin.
