Well the Christmas season has officially started.  If you’re anything like me you’ll avoid going to the mall or any store for that matter like the plague.  So I’m going to help you out.  Over the next few weeks, leading up to Christmas, the Goodie Wrap will feature all sorts of little things like stocking stuffers, to big whammy gifts.  I’ll throw in some other little nuggets as well as I see them.  I can’t guarantee that the videos will be Christmas related however.  Like this week’s video.  It’s wrong.  But so funny.

Creativity Knows No Bounds:

I’m constantly amazed at what people will create.  The Star Wars nursery was pretty bad ass, but not for those of us who don’t have kids.  This is more my style….the AT-AT liquor cabinet.  This is not some cheesy press-board piece you buy at target….this is all wood and brass and it looks pretty classy to boot.  (via That’s Nerdalicious)

If Dr. Suess Wrote Ghostbusters:

I want this to be a real book so frakking bad.  Just for the illustrations alone!  Imagine what the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man would look like.  Or the Slimer for that matter.  Oh the things you can think….. (via Boing Boing)

 Han Solo Chocolate Bar

Han Solo frozen in carbonite has taken many different forms.  I’ve seen the full scale model at ILM, the ice cube trays, the soap bar, and even the coffee table.  I guess it was a matter of time before someone got the bright idea of turning it into something edible.  And why not?  Show your fandom by busting this thing out on your lunch break and slathering it with chunky peanut butter.  Or treat your Star Wars geek by getting this for their stocking.  (via Think Geek)

Chuck Norris Plush Doll

Do you have a relative that loves Chuck Norris? Or wishes they were Chuck Norris? Or spends the bulk of the family shin-dig spouting off Chuck Norris facts?  This is the perfect stocking stuff for that person.  Look….he even comes complete with guns and that awesome ‘stache.  I don’t see how this thing could do a roundhouse kick though.  But underneath that beard, is another fist. (via NeatoShop)

Spock Santa Hat and Tree Topper

Tis the season yeah?  Step away from the boring old traditional Santa hat and go for this geeky Spock Santa hat instead.  It’s blue….it’s got the ears which surely must keep your boring human ears warm right?  If I were to get this, I’d make my dad wear it.  (via Think Geek)

Every tree needs a topper.  Be it a star, a bow, or a combination bow / car antenna topper from Disneyland.  Whatever you fancy, something needs to go on the top of that tree.  If you’re a Trekkie…..sorry….Trekker….it’s only logical for you to adorn your tree, or Festivus pole with Spock.  Surely he would approve. (also comes in Yoda) (via Think Geek)

Dr. Who TARDIS Wardrobe

Ok, so I know exactly what’s going to happen the minute a certain someone sees this.  She’s going to go crazy and say that she must have it.  Her parents on the other hand will probably curse me.  But I’m going to post it anyway.  The TARDIS wardrobe most likely isn’t bigger on the inside, but it’s still a pretty cool alternative if you’re room is spatially challenged. You had to admit….it’s much better than looking at other unsightly options.  (via FireBox)

TARDIS Movie Cabinet

Speaking of the TARDIS, I’ve just shown you the wardrobe, and several weeks ago I showed you the TARDIS refrigerator.  Now we’ve got a TARDIS movie cabinet. This is one of those things that would go in my room of dreams along with the life size Cylon and T-800 models.  Hey, a girl can dream.  Some day…..Anyhoo, this was made by model maker msmuse101 along with her father.  You can see more photos of it here.  Hats off to both of them for building something really awesome and totally practical.

Battlestar Galactica Original Cylon Centurion Ornament

I’m not going to lie.  I saw this on the Hallmark website and immediately called my local Hallmark store to see if they had it in stock.  Then I went down and bought it.  Now it has taken its rightful place front and center on our Christmas tree.  It’s awesome…and it talks.  I would love to find an ornament of Galactica.  Or a Viper, Basestar or even a Raptor.  Now that would be frakking awesome! (via Hallmark)

Zombie Attack Barbie

Growing up, I was never a fan of Barbie what with her super small arched feet and perfect hair.  I was more into sci-fi and puzzles and games and books.  But this is actually a Barbie product I can get behind.  If you have a young one who digs on the Barbs, yet you’re secretly hoping she’ll be more into the things you like (i.e. zombies) then this is the perfect gift to bridge those two worlds.  I love all of the weapons…especially the rocket launcher.  I like the Zombie Ken option as well.  Too bad this isn’t real, but someone really needs to make it happen.  I’m thinking Matel wouldn’t hear of it though. (via Laughing Squid)

Video:

I’m going to preface this video by saying it’s really lowbrow and in poor taste, but if you have any sense of humor at all, you should find yourself chuckling as you watch it.  It’s an instructional video that was originally sent to Roomie, but once she shared with the house, I felt the need to share with all of you.  Like I said, it’s lowbrow….you’ve been warned.
