Sobel Westex

Star Wars bedding by Sobel Westex

It’s sad to walk into a store and see Star Wars bed sheets and blankets that are only for kids. Adult nerds like fun bedding too, which is why Sobel Westex has launched the Star Wars Home collection. Whether you’re into the lovely blue Astromech theme above or you’d prefer something more Tattoine themed, this collection has what you need if your goal is to introduce some subtle nerd chic to your bedroom.

The Republic of Tea Book of Boba Fett flavors

If you’re buying for a fan of Disney’s Book of Boba Fett series, you can get two tea flavors from The Republic of Tea themed after the two main characters. Boba Fett tea is a great green tea with chai spices added in for depth, while Fennec Shand’s tea is a more mild black tea with sweeter flavors added. Both of them taste great, and you can either buy them separately or in a gift set with collector’s tins.

Bioware

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Knights of the Old Republic may still be getting a remake, but it’ll be a few years at least before that’s out. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, the 2003 original has been remastered for Nintendo Switch. The gameplay involves the Jedi master leading a group of freedom fighters across the galaxy and training them.

The remaster was handled by Aspyr, the developer that previously brought Star Wars classics like Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode 1 Racer and Republic Commando to Switch and other modern consoles.

Hasbro

Galactic Snackin’ Grogu

The only thing better than having a Grogu figure in your house is having one that can move and talk and play. The Galactic Snackin’ Grogu comes with a bunch of toys it can interact with, including an alien macaron and a bowl of soup to slurp on. And if it’s not interested in playing with its own toys, it will reach up and ask to be carried. These Star Wars toys are a cute addition to any collection and a great way to surprise guests.
