Trick or treat, smell our feet, give us something good to eat! And by ‘good’ we mean ‘made of sugar,’ and by ‘sugar’ we mean ‘sucrose.’ Cut to the chase with our limited edition Sucrose Molecule shirt, available this weekend only!

You hopped through the wrong portal, friend. Suddenly, you’re the size of a Companion Cube! At least your Handheld Portal Device sized itself down with you! Coming in at a foot long and weighing just one pound, this miniature tool of Science looks great on your desk, displayed on a shelf with your Companion Cube, or perched on your mantel. A three-way switch lets you select the orange or blue LED, which correspond with the sound effects when you pull the trigger. It’s the perfect gift for any fan of the Portal video game series and arrives in a handsome full-color gift box.

A companion cube is as lovely as a summer’s day… especially when it can cool off your beverages! This ice cube tray freezes water into adorable Companion Cube-shaped ice. The Companion Cube stood by you in your time of need; now your lukewarm beverage needs the same friendship. WARNING: Companion Cubes made of ice burninate much quicker than standard Companion Cubes. (Or is it meltinate?)

Ever wonder what a humanoid robot would smell like? How about a futuristic humanoid robot? Dr. Light wondered too. So, he created the Proto Man Air Freshener. But it went a little wacky and ran off, so then he created the Mega Man Air Freshener. Then Proto Man came back, and he had both. Now you can have both, too! And don’t worry; these aren’t just pictures with random scents. Working with gamers, traits of both characters were compiled. Those characteristics were then translated into scents and expertly blended into what you’ll smell. Let the world know how much you like Mega Man and how much you like the smell of the future with these awesome air fresheners.
Mega Man Air Freshener – Smell mega good!

Since you can’t always wear your lab coat, which is just ridiculous, and the other Aperture gear you have isn’t appropriate for this cocktail party, you need Portal Cuff Links. The elegantly crafted silver and black Aperture logo still says, ‘Check me out, nerds,’ to the right people, while also saying, ‘Mhmm, yes, caviar and Wall Street,’ to everyone else. You definitely need a pair of these; otherwise, you’ll be stuck without awesome cuff links, and nobody wants that.

The Daleks have an evil plan. They want to make everyone on Earth sneeze by shaking pepper all over the place. But don’t worry, the TARDIS is here to balance out the dinner table spice with careful sprinkles of salt! Oh, who are we kidding: these are just a pair of awesome Doctor Who salt and pepper shakers. They’ll make you happy. Put salt in one and pepper in the other, or be radical and put custard in one and fish fingers in the other. You shouldn’t really do that, unless your TARDIS shaker happens to be that one magical one that’s bigger on the inside.
Doctor Who TARDIS vs. Dalek Salt and Pepper Shakers – SALINATE!

What goes together better than Mountain Dew and Cheetos? That’s right: gaming dice and chocolate! See, as you venture through dungeons and fight them dragons, you’re going to get hungry.

They are delicious (Ghirardelli chocolate FTW!) and almost roll just like real dice. But don’t roll ’em too much, or they’ll make brown all over the place. Roll them into your mouth!
