Tech Corner: Star Wars Themed Holiday Gifts!

We want you to get a head start on your holiday shopping! If you have a Star Wars fan within your household, these gadgets and merchandise will make the perfect purchase for them! (Or at least good enough to learn what is out there…in a galaxy, far, far, away.)

 

BB-8 by Sphero: The ball robot, known as BB-8, is the newest droid to be featured in the latest installment of the franchise and the toy adds to its adorableness! This phone controlled Sphero toy is $150 bucks and features the functions of the BB-8 in the movie. Just like any other Sphero robot, you connect BB-8 via bluetooth to the free downloadable app, available for both Android and Apple. While BB-8 can move on it’s own, you can control it with the app.

Star Wars Showerhead: Bed, Bath, and Beyond went to the beyond by selling Oxygenics Star Wars 3-spray showerheads. Available in either a R2-D2 fixed showerhead or Darth Vader handheld showerhead. We want to say these showerheads would make a cool addition to your children’s bathroom, but who are we to judge if you want it for your own? We are not judging, but agreeing and supporting this purchase!

R2-D2 Mini Fridge: A life sized remote controlled R2-D2, that is also a mini fridge! This fridge is a full-scale replica of our favorite Droid. It makes authentic “beep bloop” sounds, lights up, and is controlled by a wireless remote that is included. This device is more of a stretch since it is $8,000, but the video below makes us wish we had it now!

 

Death Star Waffle Iron: Destroy the Death Star by eating it! That is right! You can get yourself, or a gift for someone, a Death Star waffle iron! Thanks to Think Geek, you can consume waffles in the shape of the Empire’s ultimate weapon! With a 7” diameter round waffle, non-stick cooking plates that duplicate the design on both sides, and light up indicators alerting you when the iron reaches the correct temperature! The Death Star waffle iron is $29.00!
