<p>It may not slip into your pocket with quite the ease of a Leatherman, but this <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/jhil/">Millennium Falcon multi-tool </a>is a lot more fun to use when the hyperdrive breaks down and R2 isn’t around to fix it. Packed with four hex keys, two screwdrivers and a wrench, it features a magnetically sealed hatch and a built-in adjustment wheel built into the helm.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-99590" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/star-wars-gift-multitool-1-644x427.jpg" alt="star-wars-gift-multitool-1" width="644" height="427" /></p>
<p>The handy implement is just one of dozens of <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/star-wars/">Star Wars gifts available at ThinkGeek </a>&#8211; which can still get to you in time for Christmas if you order by Wednesday the 21st.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-99588" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/star-wars-gifts-death-star-waffles-644x644.jpg" alt="star-wars-gifts-death-star-waffles" width="644" height="644" /></p>
<p>If you’re going to own a waffle iron, it might as well imprint something cool onto your breakfast, right? The dark side has waffles, and <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/huik/">they pop out in the shape of the Death </a>Star. If one side doesn’t come out perfect, just flip it over &#8211; “there’s a concave dish composite beam suppresser indentation on both cooking plates, so you’re covered.”</p>

<p>If a luxurious Wampa rug is more your style, they’ve got those, too, along with Rogue One Deathtrooper fleece robes, hooded scarves just like Rey’s in The Force Awakens, Chewbacca foot stockings, Tauntaun sleeping bags (bound to be better-smelling than the real thing!) and Darth Vader silicone oven mitts. Practically anything Star Wars-related you can think of is here. <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/star-wars/">Check it all out at ThinkGeek.</a></p>

    <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44741" title="Gift wrap main" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-main.jpg" width="468" height="400" /></p>
<p>Gift wrap can be just as important as the gift itself, enhancing the sense of anticipation and reflecting the personality and tastes of the giver. If you&#8217;re unsatisfied with the standard Santas, snowflakes and christmas trees found on the holiday gift wrap supplies at your local big box store, check out these 15 modern options. Some are even free templates for cool gift wrap designs, tags and 3D geometric gift boxes that you can download and print in minutes.</p>
<h4>Free Printable Pac Wrap</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44742" title="Gift wrap pacman" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-pacman.jpg" width="468" height="606" /></p>
<h6>(images via: <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/halloween-printable-wrap/">minieco</a>)</h6>
<p>While this is technically &#8216;Halloween&#8217; wrap, why not use it for other occasions, too? <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/halloween-printable-wrap/">Minieco offers free printable gift wrap designs </a>in &#8216;Pacman Ghost&#8217; and &#8216;It&#8217;s Raining Again&#8217;, simple black-and-white graphic patterns that would definitely stand out under the tree.</p>
<h4>Mustache Gift Wrap</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44743" title="Gift wrap mustache" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-mustache.jpg" width="468" height="311" /></p>
<h6>(images via:<a href="http://www.ruffhouseart.com/mustache-gift-wrap/"> ruff house art</a>)</h6>
<p>Mustaches may be hip among the set who like things just because it&#8217;s &#8216;ironic&#8217; to do so, but this wrapping paper printed with a variety of facial hair styles is fun for anyone.</p>
<h4>DIY Paper Diamond Gift Boxes</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44744" title="Gift wrap craft gawker" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-craft-gawker.jpg" width="468" height="523" /></p>
<h6>(images via: <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/3d-paper-diamonds/">minieco</a>)</h6>
<p>Why buy (and wrap) a boring cardboard gift box when you could simply fold a cool 3D diamond shape out of the paper of your choice? <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/3d-paper-diamonds/">Minieco has a template</a> to make it yourself, and it&#8217;s perfect for small items like jewelry.</p>
<h4>Crossword Puzzle Wrapping Paper</h4>

<h6>(images via: <a href="http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2011/3/9/word-puzzle-universal-wrapping-paper.html">the dieline</a>)</h6>
<p>No matter the occasion, this wrapping paper fits &#8211; just find and outline the appropriate sentiment, whether it&#8217;s Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, Congratulations, Recover Soon or just &#8216;You Are the Best.&#8217; Universal crossword puzzle paper comes with a key so you can find and circle the greeting you desire.</p>
<h4>DIY Paper Ornaments/Gift Boxes</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44746" title="Gift wrap DIY paper ornaments" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-DIY-paper-ornaments.jpg" width="468" height="468" /></p>
<h6>(images via: <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/paper-decorations-winter-edition/">minieco</a>)</h6>
<p>These geometric shapes, including tetrahedrons and cubes, are meant to be used as ornaments &#8211; but they could double as gift boxes. <a href="http://www.minieco.co.uk/paper-decorations-winter-edition/">Get the templates at MiniEco. </a></p>
<h4>Free Printable Anchor Gift Wrap</h4>

<p>Anchor-printed wrapping paper and gift tags are a lot more fun than garish store-bought Santas, though perhaps not as festive. <a href="http://blog.heylook.fi/2012/10/freebies-anchor-gift-tags-wrapping-paper.html">Get these free printable templates at HeyLook.</a></p>
<h4>Pawling Ikat Wrapping Paper</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44748" title="Gift wrap Pawling ikat" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-Pawling-ikat.jpg" width="468" height="600" /></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44751" title="Gift wrap treo" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-wrap-treo.jpg" width="468" height="319" /></p>

<h4>Modern and Monochromatic by Loop</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44753" title="Gift Wrap loop" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Gift-Wrap-loop.jpg" width="468" height="600" /></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6798" title="strange-plants-and-animals" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/strange-plants-and-animals.jpg" width="468" height="159" /></p>
<p>A partridge in a pear tree can be a tricky two-for-one but if you are aiming for <a title="100 Strange Plants and Animals" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/11/24/strange-amazing-rare-plants-animals-species/" target="_blank">exotic pets and animals and (or in) bizarre plants or trees</a> you might consider <a title="Worlds Weirdest Animals" href="http://webecoist.com/2008/11/24/weird-strange-amazin-animal-species/?utm_source=Mozilla%2F5.0+AppleWebKit%2F537.36+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%3B+compatible%3B+ClaudeBot%2F1.0%3B+%2Bclaudebot%40anthropic.com%29&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed-main-tags-gifts&utm_content=unknown&utm_term=feed-link" target="_blank">inflatable-faced seals or bee-sized bats</a> which you can, respectively though uncomfortably, insert into a <a title="Worlds Weirdest Plants Flowers and Trees" href="http://webecoist.com/2008/11/19/exotic-endangered-plants-flowers-trees-forests/?utm_source=Mozilla%2F5.0+AppleWebKit%2F537.36+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%3B+compatible%3B+ClaudeBot%2F1.0%3B+%2Bclaudebot%40anthropic.com%29&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed-main-tags-gifts&utm_content=unknown&utm_term=feed-link" target="_blank">gigantic baobob tree or a petite green pitcher plant</a> and wow your neighbors all around.</p>
<h4>Day 2) Twisted Toys and Strange Stuffed Animals</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6793" title="twisted-toys-and-strange-stuffed-animals" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/twisted-toys-and-strange-stuffed-animals.jpg" width="468" height="187" /></p>
<p>Two turtle doves aren&#8217;t likely to survive long in the winter so perhaps a more durable <a title="Strange and Deconstructed Stuffed Animals" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/05/14/15-creatively-twisted-stuffed-animals-intentional-and-spontaneous-distortions-of-childhood-toys/" target="_blank">(albeit deranged) stuffed animal</a> is in order? If those are just a bit too eccentric there are plenty of other <a title="Private Lives of Your Favorite Toys" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/12/06/private-lives-toys/" target="_blank">humorously alternative ways to configure toys</a> as offbeat gift options &#8211; and if they aren&#8217;t enough, there are always <a title="Scary and Creepy Mannequiins" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/12/04/scary-creepy-mannequins/" target="_blank">extremely creepy mannequins</a>.</p>
<h4>Day 3) Exotic Islands and Themed Art Hotels</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6794" title="exotic-hotels-and-islands" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/exotic-hotels-and-islands.jpg" width="468" height="187" /></p>
<p>Three french hens &#8230; OK, <a title="Bizarre and Amazing Urban Animals" href="https://weburbanist.com/2007/11/17/strange-urban-animals-of-the-world-from-thieving-monkeys-to-city-chickens/" target="_blank">enough with the animals already</a>. You want to see animals? Take a trip to some exotic destination for some bird watching &#8211; like one of the most <a title="Worlds Most Expensive, Exotic and Luxurious Private Islands" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/05/20/10-private-islands-you-cant-afford-to-live-on-amazing-and-exotic-luxury-retreats/" target="_blank">expensive, exotic and remote private islands</a> in the world. Or <a title="Creative Money Art and Sculpture" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/12/14/art-from-money/" target="_blank">save some money</a> and stay somewhere closer to home at an <a title="Art, Castle, Prison and Theme Hotels" href="https://weburbanist.com/themed-castle-and-art-hotels/" target="_blank">amazing art, castle, prison and other theme hotel</a>.</p>
<h4>Day 4) Geek and Steampunk Gadgets and Art</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6795" title="geek-art-and-design" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/geek-art-and-design.jpg" width="468" height="178" /></p>
<p>Four calling birds sounds more annoying than cheerful during the holidays &#8230; want something <a title="Creative Steampunk Art, Fashion and Design" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/11/19/steampunk-hijacks-hi-tech-design-art-fashion/" target="_blank">noisy with all the bells and whistles</a>? There are plenty of obnoxiously <a title="Geek Gifts, Gadgets and Fixtures" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/12/15/geeky-nerdy-gadgets-fixtures/" target="_blank">clever (and geeky) options</a> to choose from &#8211; including a Pac-Man mirror, light-bulb door handle, high-tech toilet and singing toilet paper roll dispenser or even <a title="Geek Art and Graffiti" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/07/14/20-examples-of-geeky-art-and-graffiti/">works of great geeky art</a>.</p>
<h4>Day 5) Houseboats and Cargo Container Homes</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6796" title="creative-alternative-housing" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/creative-alternative-housing.jpg" width="468" height="139" /></p>
<p>Five gold rings sounds great but with the fluctuating value of the world&#8217;s commodities who knows if <a title="Another Way to Store Your Money" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/12/14/art-from-money/" target="_blank">even that is a safe investment anymore</a>. Instead while the market is good why not go ahead and buy yourself that <a title="Cargo Container Home and Office Designs" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/05/26/cargo-container-homes-and-offices/" target="_blank">funky cargo container home</a> or <a title="Creative Houseboats and Houseboat Designs" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/02/20/17-extreme-houseboats-and-houseboat-designs-luxury-marine-habitats-to-humble-floating-homes/" target="_blank">amazingly designed houseboat</a> you have always dreamed of?</p>
<h4>Day 6) Recycled Furniture and Prefab Designs</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6804" title="recycled-and-prefab-designs" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/recycled-and-prefab-designs.jpg" width="468" height="139" /></p>
<p>Six of anything is a lot &#8211; unless it is for a good cause too. Why not pull a two-for-one half-dozen this holiday season and shop for some <a title="Recycled Art, Architecture and Design" href="https://weburbanist.com/creative-recycled-art-architecture-and-design/" target="_blank">recycled furniture designs or works of art</a> (or at the steeper but more amazing end: <a title="Prefab Buildings and Flat Pack Furniture" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/11/09/prefab-architecture-flat-pack-furniture/" target="_blank">prefab designs</a> or <a title="Creative Recycled Architecture" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/11/16/adaptive-reuse-recycled-architecture-2/" target="_blank">recycled buildings</a>) that save on new materials and provides something more visually engaging and with a real material history to it.</p>
<h4>Day 7) Strange Themed Meals and Restaurants</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6806" title="creative-meals-and-theme-restaurants" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/creative-meals-and-theme-restaurants.jpg" width="468" height="139" /></p>
<p>Perhaps a seven-course <a title="Vegan, Vegetarian and Organic Food and Recipes" href="http://webecoist.com/2008/11/21/delicious-eco-friendly-meals-and-tasty-recipes-food-drinks/?utm_source=Mozilla%2F5.0+AppleWebKit%2F537.36+%28KHTML%2C+like+Gecko%3B+compatible%3B+ClaudeBot%2F1.0%3B+%2Bclaudebot%40anthropic.com%29&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed-main-tags-gifts&utm_content=unknown&utm_term=feed-link" target="_blank">earth-friendly dinner</a> is in order to top things off. You could dine at Buns and Guns, Cabbages and Condoms, Pitch Black, The Hellfire Club, the robot-staffed restaurant or any one of the many <a title="Strange and Interesting Theme Restaurants" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/08/10/15-of-the-strangest-themed-restaurants-from-buns-and-guns-to-cannabalistic-sushi/" target="_blank">strange theme restaurants</a> that cater to all kinds of tastes around the world (note: this option might go well with the previously suggested <a title="Theme Hotels of the World" href="https://weburbanist.com/themed-castle-and-art-hotels/">theme hotel stay</a>).</p>
<h4>Day 8) Geek and Artistic Cake Designs</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6807" title="geek-art-cakes" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/geek-art-cakes.jpg" width="468" height="96" /></p>
<p>Eight candles topping a scrumptious <a title="Creative, Artistic and Geek Cake Designs" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/10/15/more-awesome-geek-art-cakes-and-cake-designs/" target="_blank">artistic or geeky cake design</a> might be just the thing for desert after a long night at a radical themed restaurant. From fan of Star Trek who already has every episode to the iPhone user with every application you can find something in a <a title="Even More Geek Cakes" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/09/24/20-creative-artistic-and-geeky-cake-designs/" target="_blank">cake for every kind of nerd or geek</a>. Just don&#8217;t get <a title="Eerie Abandoned Towns and Cities" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/10/19/ghost-town-abandoned-city-examples-images/" target="_blank">lost in one of these</a> on your return trip.</p>
<h4>Day 9) Unusual Art from Ordinary Objects</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6808" title="art-from-ordinary-objects" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/art-from-ordinary-objects.jpg" width="468" height="174" /></p>
<p>Nine pieces of quality art could be hard to find, but maybe a little something from a wide selection of lesser-known but impossibly interesting <a title="Creative Artists Using Ordinary Objects" href="https://weburbanist.com/extraodinary-art-from-ordinary-objects/" target="_blank">artists who craft works from ordinary objects</a> is called for. After all, their material costs are low and the results are both <a title="Beautiful Ordinary Object Art" href="https://weburbanist.com/2007/12/29/creative-sculpture-with-a-twist-3-extraordinary-approaches-to-carving-ordinary-objects/" target="_blank">aesthetically pleasing</a> and <a title="Funny Art Car Designs" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/08/03/20-of-the-worlds-most-awesome-art-cars/" target="_blank">delightfully humorous</a>. Running even lower on money this recession? <a title="Banksy Ultimate Art and Graffiti Guide" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/09/07/banksy-art-and-graffiti-the-ultimate-guide/" target="_blank">Banksy &#8220;sells&#8221; his art for free</a>.</p>
<h4>Day 10) Creative Recycled and Prefab Designs</h4>

<p>Ten of anything is difficult to get let alone carry and pack so it might be time to start looking for <a title="Artistic Ways to Recycle Objects" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/04/06/3-more-kinds-of-unusual-art-from-ordinary-objects-toothpick-sculptures-to-hammer-and-nail-portraits/" target="_blank">objects that have more than one use</a> &#8211; two-for-one <a title="Creative Transforming and Alternative Furniture" href="https://weburbanist.com/unusual-creative-and-transforming-furniture/" target="_blank">collapsing, converting and transforming furniture</a> should do the trick. And if those aren&#8217;t funky enough here are <a title="Creative Modern Furniture Designs" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/09/14/90-unusually-awesome-urban-furniture-designs/" target="_blank">rooms more filled with exotic types of furniture</a>.</p>
<h4>Day 11) Offbeat Urban Camouflage Ideas</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6811" title="urban-camouflage" alt="" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/urban-camouflage.jpg" width="468" height="176" /></p>

<p>On day twelve it is time to stretch your mind and give something back to the world. Try giving a gift to a total stranger via an <a title="Sharing Gifts with Total Strangers" href="https://weburbanist.com/2007/08/25/drop-spots-share-secret-objects-with-strangers-in-cities-around-the-world/" target="_blank">anonymous underground drop-spot system</a>, make some change by putting up a <a title="Creatively Subversive Guerrilla Marketing for Good" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/02/05/15-ingenious-humanitarian-subvertisements-creative-advertisements-that-advocate-global-causes/">subversive humanitarian subvertisement</a> or get really into the game and fight conspicuous consumption with <a title="Shopdropping and Droplifting Guide and Examples" href="https://weburbanist.com/2007/12/26/shopdropping-the-subversive-art-of-reverse-shoplifting/" target="_blank">some shopdropping</a> or a <a title="Creative Shopdropping and Droplifting Art Projects" href="https://weburbanist.com/2008/01/16/shop-drop-and-what-7-creative-and-surrealist-shopdropping-art-projects/" target="_blank">droplifting project</a>.</p>
