Set your phasers on HBO? You won’t vaporize any aliens with this Star Trek phaser, but you will change some channels. It’s the Star Trek Original Phaser Remote Control. Boring product name aside, this thing looks just like the real thing. Take control of your TV, iPod, or other electronically controlled device. The manufacturer 3D scanned an actual Star Trek phaser prop, so the dimensions on this exactly replicate the one used in the movies and TV shows. What sound will your phaser make?
“To go boldly where no man has gone before”. The catchphrase every Trekkie knows. These Star Trek onesies ($15) for your kids take a different approach. Your kids aren’t going where no man’s gone before, they’re just going. In their diapers. 24/7. Little pooing and peeing machines. “I just boldly went” could not be any more truer with little kids.
Set your phasers to fun (oh that’s rich!) with the Star Trek: Into Darkness Starfleet Phaser Gift Set ($80). Of course you get a Blu-ray copy of this spring’s blockbuster — the flick made nearly $450 million worldwide — but more importantly you snag a 1:1 scale replica of the Starfleet phaser, plus a gloss black display stand and brass plaque. This doppelganger features a manual spinner that uses a locking mechanism to position the barrel for “stun” or “kill” modes. No mention of that “fun ” mode though, so um, just disregard that first sentence.
Star Trek Wine ($25 a bottle) probably wouldn’t have been a big seller in the late 60s when the first show’s biggest fans were in high school. But now that Trekkies are gray around the temples, there’s no reason why this stuff shouldn’t be a hit at dinner parties. A limited number of 1,701 cases have been produced, all sourced from Viansa Winery in Sonoma, California. It’s said to be a medium-bodied red blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, so if you’re really into Wine you should get some great options for wine lovers with this wholesale wine gifts you can find online just for this purpose. The labels celebrate three of the classic episodes: “The City on the Edge of Forever,” “The Trouble with Tribbles” and “Mirror, Mirror.” Logical.
