Have a dog that embarrasses easily? Still looking for a way to humiliate them this Halloween? This Katamari Damacy Prince costume may be just the ticket. I wish my dog were smaller, because I'd totally be ordering her one — and she thinks the height of humiliation is being forced to wear her light up, blinking reindeer horns during the Christmas season (little does she know what smaller dogs get forced to wear!). At a mere $30 for a custom-made outfit, it's certainly more reasonably priced than a lot of niche gamer gear — and oh-so-cute! The Etsy seller also has a few wee Nintendo controller necklaces for sale if you don't have a canine gracing your daily life. More »

All new parents worry about how their little angel is going to turn out. The world is full of temptation and wonder that you fear may elevate or corrupt them. They could be upstanding, particle physicist olympians who volunteer at homeless shelters, or end up living out of the back of a van scavenging for roadkill to feed their 34 illegitimate brats. (Note: those are the only two options open, according to recent census data) More »

I'm generally pretty good about restraining from DS accessories purchases, but these classic Nintendo cases from an Etsy seller are a little piece of fantastic. Constructed of hand-sewn felt, the pieces are far from polished, mass-produced products, but that's precisely what makes them so charming in the first place. Pick one up for $13 or both for $21. In continuing with my fast food metric of the day, that's anywhere from 3-5 value meals. More »

Needless to say, men have it pretty good as far as general anatomical conveniences are concerned. But the trade-off of social stigmas regarding dress-wearing are starting to chafe now that we've found this Tetris skirt that goes for a mere $45 on Etsy. We recommend you find a girlfriend, relocate to Scotland, crush our post-Puritan social norms or, in the rare case that you are a actually a female who hasn't felt too ostracized by this post to stop reading by now, buy the skirt for yourself.

Let's review. The ultimate Mario: Raccoon Mario. The ultimate warming device: blankets. The ultimate Mario throw: quite possibly, this Raccoon Mario blanket. Constructed from 2-inch squares and backed with a solid black design, we don't believe that this Etsy-born product was actually sewn by a grandma, but it's close enough for us to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. While none are currently in stock, you can email the designer to purchase this unlicensed blanket of your very own for $85. More »

Crafty artist and Kotakuite Michelle Rheaume sends in some pics of her latest creation: a crocheted Mario with accompanying pins (or badges or brooches or whatever you call them where you are from). Mario himself is a stout eight inches tall with the accompanying pins being approximately one inch across. The whole set is available on Etsy for a rather hefty one hundred bucks. A perfect addition to your very expensive hand crafted Mario collection. More »

It can be hard to walk that line between tasteful and tacky when it comes to video game art and memorabilia. But I'm really digging these Nintendo collages by DC-based artist Chris Lange. Each piece is handmade from old Nintendo Power magazines—yes, the art is 100% Nintendo born—and is made to order by request. More »

For those of you who can't stand to be away from your beloved World of Warcraft for even a minute can now carry the magic with you to the shower. Etsy crafter ladykildare has created these awesome Hearthstone soaps for your hygienic pleasure. They are made from Shea butter and are 100% natural. These particular ones smell like coffee, but you can request other scents with your order. The cost is $14.87 for two average sized bars plus a buck for shipping. Thank you, ladykildare, for keeping our WoW-ers clean and stink free after endless hours of raids. We thank you and their significant others (if any) thank you too. More »

Jessica Fink's fabulous "Ghost Rider" design was snubbed by the pun-hungry voting masses at Threadless, but that didn't stop her from printing up her own batch of the Pac-Man inspired tee for those of you who loved it to death when we posted about it a year ago. It's up for sale at her Etsy shop, with printing numbers well into the "lots." Don't sleep on it, though, as the trademark stewards may be fashioning an e-mail within the day. More »

Etsy does it again! Artist SparkleMe created this cute Ms. Pac Man necklace and put it up for sale on the craftster website not too long ago. Of course it didn't last long and sold almost immediately (these things always do), so if you were hoping to pick this up for your loved one or maybe yourself, I'm afraid you've missed the boat. Aeropause's Eric Munn already snapped up this beauty for his lovely wife. Sorry, maybe next time. More »

I love Etsy. They always come through with some of the greatest home made gaming crafts. This little Tetris cart clock sold for a measly $18, but if you have a little time and knowhow, you could easily make one yourself. All you need is an old Nintendo cart, a drill, some inexpensive clockworks (available at almost any store with craft supplies), a plastic stand and some glue. I've actually made a few clocks in my time (just ask any of my friends about Christmas 2002) and they are incredibly easy and cheap to put together and the results are always great. Try it, you may like it. More »

This tote bag rocks, and not just because it has Mario on it, but because TheFennec on Etsy actually made a bag you can wear. Other Mario totes have been shown before, but you know, at the end of the day, you can't take those kinds of things to outside without looking about 12. This bag isn't busy, it's got an awesome pockets, and most of all, it looks expensive. Fortunately, it's not. A $10 tote? You can't go wrong. Kim Phu More »

Lostmitten is a master of the art of perlerbeads. Her creations have graced the hallowed halls of Kotaku Tower many times and today, we have another one. This time she has made an 8-bit Legend of Zelda notepad featuring Link on the front and an Octoroc on the back. Unfortunately (for us, not for her) Lostmitten's one of a kind creations go quickly and this one is already sold. Using these detailed photos and a little elbow grease, you could probably make one yourself, but if you're lazy, visit Lostmitten's Etsy page for a lovely array of game crafts at a nice cheap price.

Oh, perler beads, is there anything you can't do? You can make coasters, Mario boxes, Animal crossing characters and even decorate our local Ikeas. Now you can even help us keep all of our business cards organized with this fancy NES controller holder. One day I shall make a house of perler beads that will be known the world over. Of course, it will be rather flimsy and cold during the winter months, but it will look awesome. Flynn De Marco More »

Oooooh, this one looks vintage! This invader comes from Ulix, a Kotaku commenter, who saw this little gem on vacation in Paris near the Church "Sacre Coeur". Since Invader, the artist, started putting these tiles up in Paris in 1998, this could be one of the originals as time has obviously seen the wear and tear of time (and possibly vandalism). This inspires me to do some tiling in our new apartment or at least getting a few Space Invader pillows for the living room. More »

For example, the above bracelet, which I'd buy in a second if it didn't so flagrantly clash with my various zodiac medallions or the battleship tattoo on my inflated Popeye forearm. Although I suppose I could wear it as an ankle bracelet — it would gel quite nicely with my moccasins. FLORIAN ECKHARDT More »
