 | The ThinkGeek Newsletter!  | | |  | Last holiday ever? We had to chuckle when a spam email reminded us that the Mayans predicted we'll be outta here before the holly daze of 2012. If that's the case, ThinkGeek is prepared! We're ready to rock your under-tree zone with gifts for fans of Star Wars, Portal, and bonsai kitties.
And zombie fans, don't fret. The Walking Dead is gone until February, but we have plenty of undead for you here. | What's New at ThinkGeek!  We hope you used the Thanksgiving break to upgrade the browsers on the computers of your not-so-tech-savvy relations. If you didn't, please do it next month and make the web designers and code monkeys of the world super duper happy! In honor of Blue Beanie day and web standards, we offer $5 off $30 or $10 off $50 by using the code BLUEBEANIE, good through 11:59pm ET on 12/02/11. Take $10 Off - Happy Blue Beanie Day! |  This R2-D2 wants nothing more than to help you comfortably sit while on the go. He'll go camping, or to fan conventions, or to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July. We don't recommend bringing him to Hoth unless you're going to go ice fishing or something; he's more of a warm weather droid. This fully licensed Lucasfilm collectible is only found at ThinkGeek! Star Wars R2-D2 Folding Armchair - Droids love to support humans | |  Here at ThinkGeek we love memes and kittehs equally. Since a real Bonsai Kitty would be cruel, we have created the amazing Bonsai Kitty Plush. This cuddly kitty comes direct from Dr. Chang's lab and wants to live at your house, dorm room, or office. Please do not free him from the jar! In his distorted shape, he is no longer able to exist in the outside world. Instead give him love and accept him as a beautiful consequence of human ingenuity and moral breakdown. Bonsai Kitty - An ancient meme brought to life |  Unfortunately, there's no scouting program that teaches you how to be prepared for adult situations. You know what we mean. What happens when you're at your favorite fan convention, gaming and schmoozing, and someone whips out a bottle of something delicious? You, geek friend, will be prepared if you have the collapsible shot glass on your person. Just pop it open and you're ready to imbibe just over 2 ounces of whatever liquid heaven is being poured. When you're done, rinse it out and pop it closed again. Collapsible Shot Glass - Be prepared! |  Ever look at the back windows of other people's cars and think you could do better than cutesy family stickers? Is your family more hardcore? Are they the kind of folks who would double-tap you if you were bitten by a zombie? Show your pride in your family with these Zombie Family Car Decals. They're black and white and red all over and include the whole gang: Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son, Baby, Dog, Cat, and Fish. Zombie Family Car Decals - The family that shambles together |  Here at ThinkGeek, we're bringing the magic back to mealtime. What's more magical than a pair of tiny unicorns with overgrown horns? Turning them upside down and using them to eat your favorite Asian foods, that's what! They'll even stand on their tiny hooves to prevent your chopsticks from touching the table. Magical and considerate, those unicorns. Unicorn Chopsticks - For a magical mealtime |  And we really mean old school. Not like your parents had, but like, say, Christopher Columbus had around a million years ago when he visited North America for the first time. Seriously, though, this is pure chocolate, the finest organic Ecuadorian cacao you'll find. Melt it, mix it with the cacao butter and agave nectar (for sweetness), and pour into the mold. Once it cools and hardens, you'll have a chocolate bar just like folks were enjoying over 3,000 years ago. Chocolate is magical. Treat yourself to some pure and delicious chocolaty history today! DIY Chocolate Bar Kit - Old school chocolate bar |  Pac-Man is a most unwanted house guest. He'll wander your halls at night, eating everything in his path, and when you're out of food, he moves on to the next house. Tell him he's not welcome with one of these Ghost Lamps. They have a built-in light sensor, so when the yellow pizza creature leaves his bedroom to raid your pantry, they'll glow bright to scare him off. Keep your domicile safe from the wokka-wokka of doom! Ghost Lamps - Protect your home from Pac-Man! |  If there's anything The Walking Dead has taught us, it's that we need to have all our apocalypse supplies in one location. Then we won't be raiding stores and getting into sticky situations with zombies and the daughter of the guy who is graciously letting us squat on his farm. This kit includes dozens of useful items, including "Caution: Zombie Outbreak Zone" tape, warning signs, hazard stickers, toe tags for the bodies, a "bite kit," and much more. Zombie Survival Kit - Are you prepared? |  You know what this Lite Brite will be great for? Snow days when you have no power, which depending on your utility company, could be a lot of days. This Lite Brite runs on batteries so your kids' artwork can double as a source of light! With 300 colorful pegs and 4 surfaces, the Lite Brite Four Share Cube is perfect for families with multiple wee artistes. Just plunk the cube in the middle of the table and let each kiddo have a side. Four Shared Cube Lite Brite - Snow day fun for the family | |  We can't decide if this is a hat, a hood, a mask, or all of the above. What do you think? Either way, we think it would look spiffy as a Halloween costume, a cold weather accessory for kids at heart, or a headpiece to let your bosses Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde know exactly where they can find that TPS report you filed last week. Plush Pac Man Hat - Be the man. Pac-Man. | | | | | | | | ThinkGeek's Gifty Picks! | | "Speak like this always, you do not?"
