2. PlayStation VR Worlds Headset Bundle
Sony has extended the holiday price cut for its industry-leading VR headset, and it’s never been a better time to try it out. This is the first-gen headset, but don’t worry, the newer model isn’t much different other than some minor tweaks. This VR Worlds bundle gives you everything you need, including the headset, camera, Move controllers, and a VR Worlds game that offers hours of gameplay. Trust us, once you go VR, you’ll never go back.

3. Spider Man 3D Wall Art Nightlight
Looking to impress that hot date? Bring them home and show them your cool Spider Man 3D Wall Nightlight, and it’ll be a done deal.

And for the price, you really can’t afford not to get this.

This little guy turns any space into an awesome entertainment zone. Despite its teeny-tiny size – it’s only 8 inches high – it can project a huge 120-inch image onto any surface. It works with smartphones and gaming consoles, and it can literally fit in your pocket; so now, gaming and movie watching on the big screen can be done any time and anywhere. Trust us, you’ll be the envy of all your friends when you pull out this bad-boy at the next gaming night!

5. Lightsaber Chopsticks
Hey, even Jedi have to eat sometime, and when they’re sampling sashimi at the Cantina, there’s no more perfect utensil than Lightsaber Chopsticks. For less than $15, you get 2 pairs in red and blue (sorry Mace Windu fans, no purple), so you’ll be able to share with your Sith buddy. Batteries are included, but of course you’ll have to be careful when washing them (the price of being a Jedi I guess). Turn any meal into a life-and-death duel with these cool utensils!
