Do you know somebody who loves Star Wars and fish? Bingo! The R2D2 Aquarium is the perfect wacky gift for your friend.
This R2-D2 holds a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his central compartment, ideal for a small freshwater family of goldfish, gouramis, or tetras.

The domed head of the R2D2 aquarium rotates with any vocal command you issue and R2D2 utters his familiar "bleeps" from the Star Wars movies.

Hot Gift: Steinbach Star Wars Yoda Nutcracker

Topic:

Yo, Yoda crack me some nuts. The Star Wars Yoda Nutcracker is a limited edition nutcracker made by Steinbach of Germany, renowned as the premier name in nutcrackers for over 125 years (not as old as Yoda himself).

The 9 1/2" nutcracker is handcrafted from select European hardwoods, decorated, and hand painted.
The only bummer is that it is only for decorative purposes. On the other hand a real Star Wars fan is placing it anyway in a glass shelf so it won't get a scratch.

Hammacher Schlemmer (who else) is selling the Yoda nutcracker for still reasonable $249.95.
