The Etsy shop Things to Love offers handmade fridge magnets and Christmas tree ornaments that’ll warm the heart of any old 8-bit Nintendo or C64 player during these cold months.

There’s Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble, the Mario mushrooms, Goomba, Shyguy and.. well. I want ‘em! Some glows in the dark as well.

If you feel bad about using a real tree during Christmas you better check out Atypyk’s Christmas Tree Poster. It’s 120×160 centimeters large and sports big ‘ol green pixels to decorate the wall.

And here’s a quote from Atypyk themselves for those of you wondering why you should use a paper product when you’re out to save trees;

“Q: How many trees does it take to make this poster?
A: Less than it takes to make a tree!”

Here’s the On Off Mug. Basically a comfortably sized black coffee mug with “OFF” written on it. Pour hot liquid in it and it’ll turn white with black “ON” lettering instead. Oh yeah. It’s magic.

Here’s the Daylight Projection Clock with Outdoor Temperature Display, a stylish little thing that’ll project the precise atomic time and temperature on any surface and by automatically adjusting the strength of the projection it’ll work in any lighting conditions.

It comes with an alarm too, just wave your hand in front of it to shut it off.

Tea Code is a set of smart tea cups designed by Gazin Create. Besides looking good in either tall, short, convex (rounded) and concave (flared) models they feature two layers that allows the heat to dissipate alot easier - eliminating the need of a handle - and a neat silicone button so you can attach the tea bag.

If you’re lucky enough to live in an apartment with really wide, old-school radiators you should check out Byung-seok You’s Natural Wave. A porcelain tray that sits on the top of your radiator and uses its heat to keep your tea/coffee/brownies/biscuits and cookies warm. How about that. Beats those crappy USB-powered heaters any day.

Here’s the Space Invaders Alarm Clock, available in shiny white, blue and black. I’m sorry to say that you can’t play the game on it (or even need to play it a bit to shut it down in the morning), but it still looks good.

Here’s the Lamp Lamp by Tokyo-based 100%. It’s a 30 Watt E26/E27 bulb with an extra decoy base blown on it, fitting pretty much all sockets.

Got to get myself a couple of these and get rid of unnecessary lamp shades.
