Items from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Don’t be a scruffy-looking nerf herder this May. Get yourself some of this Star Wars gear and celebrate your inner nerd.
Darth Tater
Why we love it: Great for younger kids and comes with a baby Yoda! (I refuse to say Grogu.)
Chopstick Lightsabers
Why we love it: Got these for my partner and son as a gift. While we don’t use chopsticks often, there have been many tiny lightsaber fights and these are action figure/doll sized. Also, super fun to pretend they are glow sticks and dance to EDM in the kitchen to embarrass others.
Boba Fett Waffle Maker
Why we love it: Get revenge on Boba Fett by encasing him in waffle batter. Much tastier than carbonite.
Tropical Shirt
Why we love it: A tropical shirt without half-naked people and cars? Sign us up. Pair it with a storm trooper helmet and trunks for maximum pool party fun.
Star Wars Mad Libs
Why we love it: My kids LOVE Mad Libs, especially when you use words like “underpants” or “fart”. Mad Libs are fantastic for summer road trips or when waiting at airports, and it teaches kids grammar and parts of speech. But they don’t realize it- almost like you are using the force!
