Choosing a gift, be it for a close one or your boss, can be quite the challenge. But hopping on the internet can bring out lots of great ideas. If you are struggling to choose a present for a Star Wars fan, we’ve prepared 10 cool suggestions. From a Darth Vader stovetop kettle to a set of Sabacc cards for playing intergalactic poker like Han Solo, here are some of our picks.
Star Wars Mini Fridge
Few things are as useful for hot summers as a mini-fridge. And few things are as cool as a mini-fridge that portrays Han Solo frozen in carbonite. The compact appliance can store a bunch of soda/beer cans, so they are always handy for when the heat waves hit. Plus, mini-fridges are small enough to carry on a road trip. This one also features a heating capability, so there’s an excuse to use it in the winter as well. The fridge retails online for about $170.
Millennium Falcon Waffle Maker
The Force Awakens and demands its morning fix of waffles. The post-waking-up time can make or break one’s day, so why not gift somebody (or yourself) this Millennium Falcon Waffle Maker? The device will make sure that its owner takes on the world with the might of a spaceship. The manufacturer, Uncanny Brands, has quite the selection of Star Wars appliances, including a slow cooker and lightsaber salt and pepper mills. The “freight” waffle maker will set you back around $50.
Darth Vader Stovetop Kettle
Another cool kitchen appliance is the Darth Vader-themed stovetop kettle. The design is stylish and unobtrusive yet will make for a great conversation starter. The lightsaber handle is heat-resistant for a worry-free pretend-I’m-Vader swishing (not recommended with a kettle full of hot water). The appliance will go well with the waffle maker because a Millennium Falcon waffle is not the same without a cup of coffee brewed by Vader himself. The kettle sells for $67 at The Fowndry’s website.
TIE Fighter Gas Grill
Galactical cooking doesn’t end in the kitchen thanks to this TIE fighter gas grill. It’s the perfect gift for the Star Wars-obsessed barbecue aficionado. The device is compact enough to fit as a tabletop grill, works with 1 lb. propane tanks and can deliver 10,000 BTUs of grilling power. The wings conveniently fold out to make space for plates/utensils and give an even meaner look to the grill. This awesomeness sells on BBQTEK for $230.
Darth Vader/Stormtrooper Vacuum Cleaner
For your pal who likes to keep a spotless living area without the hassle of doing manual labor, consider gifting Samsung VR7000 POWERbot. This vacuum cleaner uses the force of robotics to do an intuitive cleaning by itself. Is there a better way to feel like a Jedi? Samsung has come up with two designs for the Star Wars-themed robotic vacuum, Darth Vader and Stormtrooper, both of which feature sound effects. The device comes with a price tag of $500.
Sabacc Card Set
You know Sabacc: the galactic card game that’s something of a mix between poker and blackjack? Thanks to Hasbro, fans can play this Star Wars version of poker with friends. The set features 62 cards, 24 bounty tokens and 2 dices. The closest the rules come to a real-life game is Razz poker where the winner is the player with the lowest card combination. Also, there is an element of blackjack with the ability to add or subtract cards. The set comes at $19.99.
Boba Fett/Stormtrooper/Darth Vader Kettlebells
If you need a gift for a poker/blackjack fan, Hasbro has got you covered, but how about those who prefer more physical sports? Fear not, there’s something for them, too. To please the fans, Onnit has come up with three designs of kettlebells: Boba Fett (50 lbs.), Darth Vader (70 lbs.) and Stormtrooper (60 lbs.). They complement the company’s Death Star slam ball and “Han Solo in carbonite” yoga mat. Star Wars-themed fitness, anyone? The kettlebells sell for $149.95, $179.95 and $199.95, respectively. The ball comes at $74.95 while the mat costs $64.95.
Star Wars Sports Apparel
To make sure that every fan can enjoy Star Wars-themed apparel, Adidas has come up with a line of clothing tailored for kids and teens. The company has created a full set of clothing with hoodies, sweatpants, T-shirts and sneakers. They come in white or black and boast various Star Wars details. At the moment, the hoodies and sneakers are available on the company’s British online store while the American one displays $15 T-shirts and a $40 backpack.
Star Wars-Themed Accessories
Another stylish apparel item, but this one is from Kipling. The fashion brand has joined a bunch of other companies who tapped into the franchise and created something for the fans. Kipling has come up with a range of Star Wars-themed merchandise for kids (and grown-up kids) — from backpacks to cosmetic bags to pencil cases. One of the staples in the collection is the 3-in-1 mini backpack (pictured above). Prices start from $0.01 for a phone grip and go up to $170 for a duffel bag.
Star Wars Handbag
Our last gift suggestion is from Dooney & Bourke, and their line of Star Wars bags. They come in gold and black, and each one is chic enough to wear with a variety of outfits. On top of that, they can comfortably fit a mug of Darth Vader brew along with a set of cards for intergalactic poker aka Sabacc. All three bags are made from textured grain leather and feature gold-tone hardware. The crossbody variant comes at $178 while the satchel and tote cost $308.
Rest assured, there are many more cool Star Wars gifts that you can gift to yourself or someone else. And why go with only one? How about hosting a poker/Sabacc night with some Millennium Falcon waffles and beer chilled inside the Han Solo mini-fridge? In this post, we’ve included something for every fan and for every budget. Enjoy.
