Zena, of West Art & Glass, handcrafts a variety of glass items in her UK flat. I spotted this delightful shallow bowl, which features the number pi spiraling out to 1,498 places in her Etsy shop. I don’t consider myself a math geek, but I do appreciate pi and think it would be a fun way to serve and eat the other kind of pie.

Crocheted R2-D2 Beanie
I have a soft spot for R2-D2 and I think this beanie is just precious! Karen, of KarenJCreations on Etsy, crochets a wide variety of character hats in sizes to fit everyone from newborns to adults. I could see myself giving this cutie to some of my geek friends as an off-registry baby gift.
Death Star Watermelon & The Ultimate Star Wars Party
My friend Jenn of justJENN Designs is one of the biggest Star Wars geeks I know and is quite crafty with food items. She threw The Ultimate Star Wars Party this past fall and it was mind blowing. The extensive menu included creations such as the Death Star Watermelon, Princess Leia Cupcakes, Han Solo in Carbonite Jell-o and much more. Jenn provided the recipes or how-to instructions for all of the items so you can craft your own Star Wars party.
Character Aprons
Thanks to a friend, I found Bethany Sew-&-Sew‘s blog and her amazing apron creations. collection with a range characters from superheroes to video games icons and Harry Potter. Who doesn’t want to look like one of their favorite characters while cooking a meal? Personally, I’m not big on cooking, but one of these aprons just might inspire me to practice more. Well, probably not, but I would look awfully cute turning on the microwave.
Polymer Clay Nerdy Robot
I am absolutely smitten with the polymer clay robots that Lisastarchild hand sculpts, especially this fabulous nerd love one! I came across her SleepyRobot13 shop on Etsy and fell in love. Her robot creations are charming and have wide ranging appeal to all sorts of nerds and geeks. She makes everything from a Batman Robot to a Zombie Robot. The Super Hero Robot (with glow-in-the-dark underpants!) and the 3-D Movie Robot are also adorable!
Supernatural Demon Hunter Keychain
Any fan of the TV show Supernatural knows the significance of salt. It’s used as protection from evil and can prevent demons from entering rooms. Salt is also used in various ways to get rid of ghosts.
The Ultimate Demon Hunter Keychain that AngelQ sells in her Etsy shop not only features a vial of salt, but also a couple of weapons that the Winchesters often use when hunting demons. AngelQ also makes a necklace featuring salt, as well as a few more Supernatural themed items. It might not be a bad idea to start off the new year with a little something to ward off evil and negativity, even if only symbolically.
