2013 Holiday Gift Guide:
Apparel and Accessories

People may say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s be honest here, if you were given a choice to talk to the person wearing an Armored Knight Hoodie or the guy covered in pizza stains and what looks like grape soda, we all know who you are heading for.

And our pics for this season’s  awesome apparel and accessories will definitely put you in the “Worthy To Talk To” group…at least until people get to know your personality.


Duncan Armored Knight Hoodie

If you long to be a knight but don’t want to have to travel back in time to an era when people smelled like fried onions and died at twenty from old age, then maybe this Made-to-Order Armored Knight Hoodie might be the answer.

Of course, far be it from me to stop anyone who has the ability to time travel…just bring soap and some penicillin.

Omar The Wire Unisex Alstyle Tee Shirt (The Holiday Edition)

Who doesn’t love The Wire’s Omar? And who wouldn’t Omar stepping in for Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer in this special holiday edition t-shirt?

When you want others to know that you can’t be played this Xmas, wear it proudly while perusing the aisles of stores crowded with holiday shoppers, I guarantee no one will try and swipe anything from your pockets or arms…in fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they just handed over their stuff in order to keep you from messing with them.

Brady Bunch Tiki Necklace

Give the gift of bad luck to whomever has wronged you this past year with the Brady Bunch-inspired Tiki Necklace that Greg wore when he and the fam went to Hawaii.

And,  as a special treat, wrap it up with a tarantula just to make the point that you didn’t appreciate their craptastic attitude and maybe it would behoove them to adjust it.

I’m pretty sure they will get the hint and be a lot nicer in the new year.

Travel Boy Carry On Luggage

Packing is sometimes like Tetris, so it seems only appropriate that your suitcase should look like this classic handheld. Jeans go here, shoes go here, dress shirt goes… no, wait. That’s not going to close. Clear the screen, and let’s try again. Jacket goes here. A row of rolled-up pants. Won’t the socks tuck into that space between the shoes and the books? Now that’s what we’re talking about. 

If you haven’t experienced hard side luggage since the Gameboy was out, it’s a different creature now. It’s flexible, durable, and, best of all, lightweight. It keeps your stuff safe without breaking your back.

And is pretty much going to rule the airplane.

Brass Knuckle Xenomorph Ring
 

Why punch people in the face with a boring old Brass Knuckles when you can inflict +10 damage with a Xenomorph instead.

Made from a dyed resin and measuring 1 5/8 inches tall, 2 inches long, and 3/4 inch wide. His head doubles as a palm piece that locks the unfolded ring base into a four finger brass knuckle. Transformed, it spans 5 1/4 inches & sits 2 inches tall and can pack a punch that will knock an offender out cold. 

Unfortunately it doesn’t have any acid in it but you can’t have everything.

Lego Block Bag

Made from a fantastic bright ( and I mean bright) orange 100% cotton denim. This bag is not for the faint of heart, it is gonna get you some attention. Shrinking violets look away now! It is a true orange, not burnt, or pastel, just gorgeous bright orange! This bag is self lined and the inside seams are bagged out for a smart finish and super strength seams. A neatly tailored jet pocket is big enough to hold your phone and assorted other small bag dwellers The strap is cut from high grade 2.5 mm thick veg tan leather which has a delightful chocolate coloured patina that will only get better with wear. The sturdy brass buckle allows for adjustable length while a discreet magnetic clasp holds the front flap closed. 


 Psychedelic Cat Sweater

Looking like some kind of hypnotic, tie-died, bow tie wearing god, the Psychedelic Cat stares out of this powerful polyester sweater. We mortals powerless to look away. Like staring into the sun, or watching too many episodes of Twin Peaks, rumour has it that the gaze of the Psychedelic Cat will change you forever. Wear it with caution. 

Crafted using a heady mix of polyester and, well, polyester, this sweater is a slim-fit celebration of the feline god of the rave.

Plastic Man T-Shirt

In this White / Red Plastic Man t-shirt, we see the stretchy hero rolled up into a ball. You could say that’s how he rolls! (crickets) … Anyways, get this fun, upbeat Plastic Man t-shirt and we promise we won’t stretch out any more puns! We’ll be bent on stopping this brand of humor!

I Married A Monster From Outer Space T-Shirt

Based upon the 1958 Sci-fi film about aliens marrying Earth’s women, this t-shirt is a nice unsubtle jab at your very own husband. Wear it whenever you lose a fight or when he doesn’t do what you say. 

It’s passive-aggressive enough to make him feel bad without having to ever say a word.

Chipwich T-Shirt

Nothing has gotten me through bad times better than eating my pain through the deliciousness of a Chipwich ice cream sandwich. And since this t-shirt is stretchy enough to accommodate my growing mid-section, I will always look good while getting fat.

You know, as I re-read that, it doesn’t sound so appealing.

Sharknado Superman Shirt

This Superman shirt shows what might happen if the Man Of Steel were caught in the middle of a Sharknado. Here, Superman is shown fighting off some ferocious airborne sharks. Between Krypton, Kansas and Metropolis, Superman probably hadn’t seen many sharks. Still, he is shown putting up a good fight. This shirt is perfect for fans of Superman and Sharknado.

Boba Fett A-Line Dress

Steal the spotlight in this chic Boba Fett A-line dress. Inspired by everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, this dress subtly incorporates elements of Boba’s costume, while maintaining it’s everyday appeal.

Just don’t start capturing people and helping to embed them in carbonite.

Player 1 and Player 2 Hoodies

On days when it was wet, wet, wet outside when we were kids, we had the best time. We always had something to do. Rather, we worried when it was sunny outside that somebody might make us go out and play ball or some such nonsense. Just let us curl up here with our lovely video games, and we’ll be happy.

A great couple/friend gift

You know, if your body can handle the overt cuteness and overpowering need to coo everytime you wear them.

He-Man She-Ra Christmas Faux Sweater

Though it only officially aired once in 1985, many people remember the He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special fondly. Where else would you see He-Man, She-Ra and even Skeletor getting into the spirit of Christmas? In order to help you celebrate Christmas with an Eternian twist, we present to you the He-Man and She-Ra Faux Christmas Sweater. Designed to look like an ugly Christmas sweater, this festive holiday sweatshirt features superhero twins She-Ra and He-Man against a snow flaked background. He-Man’s so jolly that he’s even wearing a Santa hat! Any Masters Of The Universe fan who’s been on Santa’s “Nice” List will appreciate it.

The Last Starfighter – Star League Emblem Logo Movie T-shirt

I’m a superfan of the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter and it is in this movie that my life-long love affair with Lance Guest began. So yeah, you could say that this t-shirt is not only a loving ode to an awesome movie, it is also one that a lot of people haven’t seen or heard of if they happen to be under the age of 35 (and shame on you for ignoring it).

Present this to an over-40 sci-fi fan and watch as their eyes tear up from the memories.

When this frock is paired with yellow pumps and jewelry that glistens like the night sky, you feel as proud of your style as you are of your astronomical display!

Atari Centipede Mushroom Premium T-Shirt

I remember the first time I came across that Centipede machine as it winked away in the corner of the dim arcade. Play me, it whispered in bleeps and blips. It was well loved, and a bit battle worn. The trackball had been spun by countless before. Gladly I sank a quarter into the coin op and gave that trackball a spin.

The Madness of Mission 6 T-Shirt

Love Pac-Man but are tired of t-shirts that depict the binge eating pie-chart in video game form? Then try this t-shirt that bumps up the yellow guy’s story into epic territory.

Subtle but powerful…you’ll get a lot of comments on it, trust me.

Dracula Trucker Hat

There’s no better way to say “Hello” than by introducing yourself to someone you don’t know while sporting a puffy trucker hat with Bela Lugosi on it.
