Whether you're rooting for Pac-Man or the ghosts, here's something fun you can add you your drawer full of geekery. It's a set of fun Pac-Man rubber stamps, the ideal thing for marking up your papers and showing off your inner game geek.

Each set of Pac-Man rubber stamps is hand-carved by Paris artist MemiTheRainbow, and comes with 5 stamps: Pac-Man, Phantom (aka regular ghost), Confused Phantom (aka blue ghost), Cherries and Strawberry. Assuming you pick up ink pads in several colors, you'll be able to stamp images of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde using the Phantom one.

The only thing I wish is that the set included stamps for the dots and Power Pills, along with Pac-Man with his mouth closed too. If you want this set, head on over to Etsy and you can grab it for $25 (USD). While you're over there, why not grab some Space Invaders, too?

These cool recycling and storage containers were created by the Italian design studio Flussocreative. They basically look like huge LEGO building blocks.

There are four different LEGO-style boxes in the series, two smaller onces in blue and green, which are supposed to be use for aluminum and glass respectively, and two larger ones in yellow and white, for paper and plastic. The models are specifically color-coded for the Italian recycling system, but they can be modified for a bunch of different uses.

Since they are based on the interlocking structure of LEGOs, they can be easily stacked in a variety of different configurations. My only question is this: with enough of them, could you build a house out of them?
