I like fantasizing about the zombie apocalypse about as much as the next guy, but something about this bedspread is just a little creepy. Maybe it’s the hands that seem to be coming from underneath, or maybe it’s the bloodstains on the pillows. At least that’d hide my drool stains, assuming I could ever actually get to sleep.

You have to hand it to Etsy seller Chrystal Doucette, she really knows her audience. She understands that the right mix of nostalgia, quirkiness, and fine craftsmanship is the key to the heart (and wallet) of any (credit) card carrying geek. That’s probably why her store specializes in soap cast into the shape of video game paraphernalia. Consoles, controllers, cartridges, companion cubes, Rubik’s Cubes; they’ve all been cast in soap. That’s not all: Many of the soaps come in such appetizing flavors as Mountain Dew and grape soda. She even has a collection of caffeinated, pop-scented shower gels. If her work has one flaw, it’s that much of it relies on stickers — making them prettier to look at than to use. That said, it’s a pretty amazing collection. See more pictures, after the break.

You ever have the urge to just punch your bedside lamp? Well, if that’s a problem for you, you might not want to get this Mario Question Mark Block lamp, which makes that urge all the stronger. Unlike in the game, you won’t get any money or mutant, oversized, and possibly toxic mushrooms out of it, but you may get a few splinters. If you can manage to not jump and upper-cut it from underneath, however, your room can get +10 swagger.

You know the necessities of life, right? The simple bear bare necessities? Food, water, shelter, Dragonborn mandolin, and that’s it, if I recall correctly. TTguitars on Etsy can help you with that last one if you haven’t taken care of it yet. As pictured above, a Dragonborn mandolin is available and made to order for a mere $695. If that’s not your style and you’d prefer the stereotypical choice of an electric guitar or the more awesome choice of an electric bass, those options are available as well.

As awesome as history is, artist Matthew Buchholz felt like it was missing something. Namely monsters from space, menacing tentacles, and dinosaurs. Thankfully, he was able to fix that in his series of alternate history prints. See more, after the break.

These Mario magnets are made of bamboo, classing up the game featuring a plumber that murders animal-like things by jumping on them with his butt. The magnet set contains 48 pieces, including a castle, so happy purchasers can build their very own static Mario level on their refrigerator. The magnets are made with natural bamboo and strong neodymium magnets. Upon purchase, Etsy shop owner Travis Chen will create and include one custom Mario power-up of your choosing. Head on past the break for more pictures of the set, as well as what is actually included.

Guy Fawkes Day is in a couple of days, and if you aren’t the sort to wear plastic masks resembling the iconic visage, then Matthew Borgatti has taken to Etsy to provide you with a Guy Fawkes bandana that doubles as a mask.

Over on Etsy (where else?), PCB Creations has a handful of items on sale created our of circuit boards. Some sandals, a banana, but what caught our eye was the, of course, the toilet. Dubbed “The Royal Data Throne,” a “place where you data is…disposed.” The sculpture has bits in the tank as well as under the lid, but don’t worry, it only measures 12″ x 11″ x 5″, so you won’t actually have to find a place to put a full-size toilet. The sculpture sells for the hefty price of $500 USD, but what price hilarity? A few different angles of the data throne after the jump.

Etsy user Beth Tastic made this gorgeous viewfinder bangle, which is semitransparent and made of hand cast resin. The bangle measures about 2 inches in height and 3 inches across, is waterproof, and fits the loosely defined sizes of “medium” and “large” wrists, though it is noted that a small wrist can still pull it off. The bangle features shots from one of the artist’s photo collections, and the bangles will only be available for a limited time, as they take a while to make. Head on over the the Etsy page for purchase info, and venture beyond the break to see another bangle angle.

We’ve already seen a steampunk cellphone and an entire steampunk apartment, so it seems like only a matter of time until all of our modern day luxuries have been dragged back into an alternate 1890. Will Rockwell is doing his best to help with that process. In addition to creating more far out things like a Spirit Harvester, Rockwell has effectively steampunked up an MP3 player and a variety of USB drives.

All of his intricate creations are up for sale at his Etsy shop, but beware, they don’t come cheap; the cheapest steampunk USB drive you’ll be able to get goes for $70 and most of the others are upwards of $100. Looking at them and drooling a little bit, however, is free.
