BB-8 Christmas bauble
£12.95
Unless BB-8 goes and does a Jar Jar on us, we can’t think of a single reason to hate this infectious little guy. So why not cover your entire tree with droidy baubles as you count down to The Force Awakens' release.
Darth Vader animatronic figure
£90
Not just your average action figure, this animatronic replica of Star Wars’ most feared big bad appears to have The Force on its side. The Dark Side, that is. Vader not only spouts the Sith Lord's most iconic lines but can also tell exactly how you’ve moved his lightsaber and react accordingly. And it’s not just the arms that move – watch out for Vader’s pelvic sorcery.
Minions: tumbling Stuart
£33.33
Love them or hate them, those adorable Minions show absolutely no sign of leaving. For those who love them (or have younger Minion-adoring relatives), this nonsense-spewing yellow bundle is the one for you. Stuart bounces back up no matter how hard you push him around, so Minion haters can always use him as a very efficient stressball.
Zombie egg and toast cutter set
£6.99
Ever thought your breakfast could do with a bit more protein? How about a nice helping of brains? Turn pieces of toast into your weapon of choice and smash away to your heart’s content. Who knew zombie soldiers could be so satisfying?
Game Of Thrones-inspired green dragon egg pendant
£13.47 (plus shipping)
Unleash your inner Khaleesi with this Game Of Thrones-inspired necklace – chain (and dragon) not included. Available in a variety of colours, each pendant is handmade and unique, meaning you won’t find yourself wearing the same piece of jewellery as those folk down in Meereen.

Assassin’s Creed-inspired clothing
£14-£189

Boasting a range of Assassin’s Creed-inspired clothing that is perfect for the chilly winter months, there are coats, accessories and plenty more to choose from the Black Flag, Syndicate, Templar and Unity collections.
Wilson
£12.99
If the cold winter weather isn’t for you, how about transporting yourself to a tropical idyll? As long as you can put the whole abandoned-on-an-island bit to one side, that is. Tom Hanks’ Castaway pal Wilson is also a great alternative to arguing relatives on Christmas Day.
Blade Runner whiskey glass
£94.99 for a set of two

Mondo Tees Christmas Jumpers
$40-$85 (plus shipping)

Die Hard Christmas Mug
£10
We’ve all seen (and probably own) Dark Bunny Tees’ brilliant Die Hard Christmas jumper. But now John McClane’s infamous scrawl is available in mug form. Whether hot cocoa, egg nog or something a little stronger, this mug is certain to get you through Christmas parties worse than the one at Nakatomi Plaza.
Star Wars Death Star mood light
£19.99
Your own personal Death Star. Sold? Good. Alright, it’s only 18cm in diameter, but the see-through base gives it the illusion of floating. Galaxy domination doesn’t have to be resigned to the bedroom, either, as the light’s nifty little Micro USB cable can hook the Death Star up anywhere you choose.
Kids’ Stormtrooper t-shirt
£16
Is the mini-me in your life desperate to be the Luke or Leia to your Vader? Rather than setting them on a guaranteed path to the Dark Side, how about the next best thing: Stormtroopers. The little person in question won’t get the joke, but will surely appreciate your effort in years to come.
Minions dungarees
£20
Do you know another little person who is always muttering nonsensical jibberish? If they’re under ten years old and can’t get enough of those despicable Minions, well, you’ve just struck gold. With a handy pocket to keep bananas in (other fruits are available), this is a fun take on the iconic costume.
McFly Hoverboard rug
£43.90+ (plus shipping)
When you’re in the comfort of your own home, you don’t need roads. But, considering it’s the 30th anniversary of Back To The Future this year, you definitely need this amazing hoverborad rug. Available in three sizes (from 2’ x 3’ to 4’ x 6’), this may be the closest to a hoverboard we ever get.

Melting Toht candle
£19.99
Toht. Major Arnold Ernst Toht. If standard Christmas candles don’t quite do it for you, how about some casual face melting instead? Raiders Of The Lost Ark’s final act contains one of the most memorable deaths in cinematic history – just imagine these all over your festive Christmas table setting.
Doctor Who Cyberman Christmas jumper
£34.99
Planning on watching the Doctor Who special this Christmas? Then why not accessorise yourself with your TV. Though we don’t recommend cancelling Christmas, we can’t help being incredibly tempted by this suggestion to delete the festive season.
Dalek Christmas tree decoration
£16.99
Remember that Doctor Who episode where a Christmas tree turned into a Dalek? So it’s in no way a scary prospect to cover your entire tree in the things – even if they are a festive red.
Pop! Deadpool’s Chimichanga truck
£29.99
The Merc with a Mouth finally bursts onto our screens in February, with chimichangas, cockiness and weapons in tow. If Wade Wilson in the flesh feels like too much to handle, why not invest in a mini version that even comes with a truck of his favourite snack.

£61.99
A game that exists thanks to Kickstarter, the Ghostbusters board game raised over $1.5 million from eager fans. The set up is quite simple: 1-4 players choose their ‘buster and take on pesky poltergeists. However a range of scenarios and difficulty make this for life, not just for Christmas.
Lego Ecto-1
£44.99
The Ecto-1 needs no introduction. Four men, their proton packs and a whole load of ectoplasm. And that’s exactly what you’ll find in this Lego set. Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore are all in the box, but we can’t promise any spectral action.
Batman multitool
£5.99

Geek Gods
£27.99
These little Buddha-style figures would look amazing as part of any filmy, festive set up. To be honest, they’d look good anywhere. Choose between Boba Fett, C-3PO, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, or leave Star Wars behind completely and opt for the rather fetching gold-bellied Batman.
