Hi, my name's Becky and I secretly love filling my house with geek-themed home ware.
Now I can't lie, some of the geek related home stuff I see is hideously tacky but there are some things I just can't help but like. Well, when I say some, I mean quite a lot! So here's my run down of things I'd love to own in my future house that may or may not be really geeky/tacky.
L- R order:
Marvel Comics Spider-Man Canvas (£17.99, Truffle Shuffle)
I think the key to incorporating geek-related items into the home is keeping them 'classy' and having too much of it. I love this Spider-Man print canvas; it looks cool, it's not too comic-book looking and would look perfect in any room on a plain white wall.
Death Star Mood Light (19.99, Firebox)
How cute is this Death Star mood light?! I guess cute and Death Star don't usually go together but I love the idea of having a tiny spacecraft lighting up my bedside table. It's not too weird looking either so non-geeky friends wonder why on Earth you have spaceships as your choice of lighting ;-)
R2D2 Projection Clock (£19.99, The Gift & Gadget Store)
I still have a retro R2D2 alarm clock somewhere in the loft and I adore it! I think it might have been my sister's that I stole actually. Anyway, I love R2 as he is one of my favourite Star Wars characters. This R2 is practical and looks smart too with it's time projection feature; the perfect alarm clock for Star Wars lovers.
Star Theatre Planetarium (£109.99, Firebox)
I have always wanted one of these Star Theatres. I love star gazing so much so the fact I could bring it indoors makes me super happy. It's not quite the same as real-life star gazing but it still looks beautiful projecting constellations on your ceiling and provides a gorgeous night-time glow just before bedtime.
Lord of the Rings Drinking Jar (£14.00, Dark Wood Jar Company)
How amazing is this jar?! Drinking cocktails out of a jar is pretty hipster-cool anyway but a Lord of the Rings quote on the jar too?! Ultimate level of cool. That aside I really like the quote on this jar and I think it would look quite nice as a home decoration if you didn't fancy drinking out of it - maybe a cute pencil holder or something? There are loads of uses for this as it's so stylish.
Which of these geeky home items would you like for you own place? I think I'm pretty smitten with the R2D2 clock and the LOTR Drinking Jar!
I love the Art Deco Spider-man print, and I've always wanted my own planetarium!
ReplyDeleteI love that Lord of the Rings drinking jar, I'm quite tempted to get it myself actually hehe! The planetarium looks so cool too, I haven't seen a geeky wishlist for a while so I'm glad I've come across yours!
