TFTS Top 10 Star Wars Gift Guide Star Wars Gifts, Presents & Stocking Fillers for Christmas (for Budding Jedi)

Having only today posted about a (seemingly bogus) limited edition Star
Wars Wii console that appeared, then duly disappeared, from Ebay we got
to thinking that, with the holiday season and Christmas looming, we
really ought to offer you a heads up concerning our top ten Star Wars
related gifts (for adults and children alike) " not least because, let
s face it, any Star Wars related gift is going to go down pretty
reasonably, isn t it?
We ve tried to arrange the following Top Ten Star Wars Gifts in a
somewhat (almost, possibly) reasonable list which shouldn t be read as
offering any indication as to how desirable each item is as each of you
will be looking for something specific catering for a certain someone "
so the entire following list is worth scanning in full lest you miss
that killer gem. We've also tried to offer gift ideas that cross the
spectrum from cheap toย outrageouslyย expensive just to make sure we
have you coveredย regardlessย of your budget (these areย toughย times
for many people, after all).
Incidentally, if you're looking for a selection of some of the coolest
wrist watches currently out there as possible gift ideas you may be

Watches As Featured on TFTS.
TFTS Top Ten Star Wars Gift Guide
Star Wars Force Trainer
An obvious first choice " its always a good idea to start off with a
pretty safe bet – the Star Wars Force Trainer is sure to prove to
be a hit with children and young-minded adults alike. Have you got what
it takes to move a ball (sorry, a �remote sphere ) up a tube using just
the power of concentration? Of course you have.

Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber LED Flashlight
Available from the same online portable that s offers the Darth Vader
Pink Helmet (see below for the all tooย inevitableย puns), the Darth
Vader Lightsaber LED Flashlight sports no less than 4 LED bulbs,
measures in at some 9.5 inches in length and, yes, it even comes with
sound effects (you just knew it would, didn t you?).
The Darth Vader Lightsaber LED Flashlight, which is powered by 3 AAA
batteries (and not by the power of the force, alas), will set you back
some $25. You can find out more information by linking through to Darth
Vader Lightsaber LED Flashlight Star Wars Nerdlight is Geek and Earth
Friendly .
Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer
If the above details Lightsaber LED Torch isn t quite what you re
looking for as a gift, how about this Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer?
Beautifully detailed yet (pretty much) small enough to fit on a key ring
the Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer comes with a red laser powered by
3 AG5 button batteries and, yes, from a functional perspective its
wholly redundant (unless you take a fancy to trying to blind people,
which we re sure you don t). Still, its cool in a �what the hell do I
do now, ity shines a light, seen that, what else does it do kind of way.
The Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer is your from just shy of $10
– $15.
R2-D2 Aquarium with LED Ambient Lighting (and Integrated Periscope).
Fish fans who also bow at the sheer mention of the name Lucas cannot
fail to be enamoured with this R2-D2 Aquarium which comes complete with
ambient lighting and an integrated periscope " look through R2 s radar
eye and you ll get a fish-eye view of what s occurring in the tank.
Great. Tacky, but great – though an undoubted conversation starter.

Themed Fish Tank .
Remote Controlled R2-D2 Home Projection Unit
If you don t already know about this you re either not a true Star Wars
fan or not a geek or you re neither or you just don t know about it
(which is fair enough, who are we to cast dispersions?).
We ve covered the ACE (not a work I ever use, wonder why I ve used it
now?) Remote Controlled R2-D2 Home Projection Unit pretty extensively on
the site and so id you want the full low down as to what this gem of a
projection unit has to offer, and you have a pretty hefty sum burning a
hole in your pocket, you can find out more here.
May I just add that if you are seriously considering getting this as a
gift for someone we really should talk as I think we ll get on, become
BFFL s and, who knows, you might get me on too. Hell, its worth a try.
Star Wars R2-D2 4-Port USB Hub
Looking to feel safe in the knowledge that R2 is right there on your
desktop ready to connect a host of USB gadgetry to your PC whilst being
able to sit back and wallow in the glorious beeping of R2 talking to you
whenever you plug in a USB device? It s a big ask, but we have you
covered (otherwise there would be little point in featuring the item
here, would there). We (I mean I) have two of these, because the first
worked for 5 minutes before giving up the ghost and emitting a burning
smell. Thankfully the second one worked.
The R2-D2 4-Port USB Hub is yours for just shy of $40 and, if you don t
have one already, its an assured hit (assuming the intended recipient
has a PC).
Star Wars Illuminated Lightsaber Stylus Set for Nintendo DS/DSi
If you know a Star Wars fan who s got a DS/DSi and they re still using
the bundled stylus this Illuminated Lightsaber Stylus Set for Nintendo
DS/DSi is sure to go down a treat what with both Darth Vader s and Luke
s Lightsabers on offer.
You can read more about the Illuminated Lightsaber Stylus Set for
Nintendo DS/DSi here: Illuminated Star Wars Lightsaber Stylus Set For
Nintendo DS Feel the Force, Nintendo Boy .
Star Wars Lego Pen Set (Yoda, R2-D2 Darth Vader 3 Pen Set)
Combining Lego with Star Wars is, few would argue, a masterstroke.
Combine Star Wars, Lego and stationary together an, as far as we re
concerned, you re a damned genius.
The Star Wars Lego Pen Sets come with three pens offering Yoda, Darth
Vader and R2-D2 in self assembly format " meaning all manner of
creations are possible (most of them just not right).
See: Star Wars Lego Pen Set " Lego, Star Wars and Stationery Who Could
Ask For More? (we ve checked the link within that posting, and it s
still valid).
Star Wars R2-D2 Pepper Mill
As if R2 didn t offer functionality enough (we seen to be obsessing
somewhat on R2 in the guide, don t we) he ll even grind pepper. Is there
any limit as to what this droid can do?
The Star Wars R2-D2 Pepper Mill will set you back just under $20 but if
you can live with torturing R2 every time you re after some seasoning I
don t want to know you (unless you invite me round to dinner).
Star Wars Darth Vader Pink Helmet (Limited Edition)
Do you love someone enough to give them Vader s Pink Helmet? (Stops
writing for a second, thinks long and hard about where this is going "
tries to address the situation pronto by relying on stating the facts).
Uh hum. The Darth Vader Helmet (Pink Edition) comes from San Diego
Comic-Con, is limited to just 1,644 pieces worldwide and is yours for
just shy of a mere $60 (worth it just for the scope of puns it ll give
you, surely). Unfortunately, if you live in Mexico, you can forget
getting your hands on Vader s pink helmet as, whilst everybody else in
the world can have it shipped to them, you re excluded, for some reason
(you don t have the force, perhaps, who knows).
Star Wars Darth Vader Stein
Okay, yes, this is the eleventh item in our apparent �Top10 but we
couldn t let the Stars Wars Darth Vader Stein slip by unmentioned, could
we? Drinking beer from the poisoned chalice of the dark side " oh, yes
please.
The Stars Wars Darth Vader Stein will set you back just under $21.
Items we desperately wanted to include, but couldn t as seemingly no
longer available.
On compiling this list we, obviously, trawled over previous posts
concerning Star Wars related items and whilst we really (and I mean
really) wanted to include the following two items we had to omit them as
they appear to be no longer available.
Boblbe Megalopis Star Wars Hard Shell Backpacks
When we initially posted about the Boblbe Megalopis Star Wars Hard Shell
Backpacks they were available but we did advise you that they were a
strictly limited edition and, wouldn t you know it, alas, they re all
gone. Still the standard Boblbe Megalopis backpacks are really, all said
and done, not that much different " if you forget a number of key
factors such as a laser etched Star Wars 30th Anniversary plaque and
their stamp of the Beida embedded in aluminium.
Star Wars USB Flash Drives (Vader, Yoda, Stormtrooper Boba Fett)
Perhaps these are still available, if you relay go looking form them,
but these 2GB Darth Vader, Yoda, Boba Fett and Stormtrooper USB flash
drives certainly don t appear to be listed on the site that we
originally spotted them on. A crying shame as, along with the
aforementioned Boblbe Megalopis Star Wars Hard Shell Backpacks they
would have been right at the top of our Start Wars Gift Guide.
Are we missing something?
If you have any Star Wars themed gifts that you think we really should
add here, please do let us know in the comments.
