There are Mario and Luigi mustache tumblers, Boo candle holders, Goomba drinking glass and so much more. If you’re looking for a unique Mario themed gifts, you need to check them out.

Today I would like to put Claudia into the spotlight for her amazing crafting skill combine with geekyness.

I stumbled upon Claudia’s store when looking for Christmas presents for my geeky boyfriend. Claudia runs an Etsy store Dicey Decor. She makes and sells glass works based around Dice used for geeky games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
She makes model dice lamps, clocks, candle dishes, paperweights, keyrings, planters, picture frames, dice bowls + boxes. As you can see her work is amazing and perfect gifts for the geek in your life (or just for yourself). I truly recommend a visit to her store!

New Futurama starts Thursday! I’m a little obsessed with the show, so both of my posts this week will be Futurama stuff. Today we have Futurama etched glasses! PimpernelSmith made these for a show obsessed friend, and I love that the images used that aren’t just the characters faces. The Zoidberg glass made me laugh out loud! Hypnotoad is at the bottom of each glass, to compel the drinker to refill. All Glory to the Hypnotoad!

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.
