1. An Alien movie poster, because who doesn't appreciate this 1979 classic? It'll look great in your living room, where you can gaze at it longingly when it's your partner's turn to choose a movie.
2. A copy of Dawn that'll start you on your journey through the brilliant Xenogenesis trilogy. It's written by Octavia E. Butler, who was the first science fiction writer ever to receive the Genius Grant.
3. A wooden Dune phone case, because if "the mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience," then you should enjoy the reality of this hand-carved (!!!) tech accessory.
It has rubber edges with built-in buttons that'll cushion your phone when you drop it.
Get it from EngraversDungeon on Etsy for $37.88 (originally $44.58). Available for 30 phone models and in about a million other epic designs, including this one from Alien.
4. A Star Fluxx card game with ever-changing rules that'll keep you and your roommates entertained while you hang indoors. Reviewers say it's easy to learn and super addictive once you get into it.
5. A Star Wars colouring book that'll give your restless mind a break from your electronics. It'll be a great way to recharge after a stressful day — may the Force be with you while you take a breath and colour inside the lines.
Don't forget to grab some pencil crayons, too.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $17.33.
6. An iconic Doctor Who sticker you can stick on your laptop or phone case to remind you of Time And Relative Dimension In Space every time you look at it.
Get it from UncommonPlans on Etsy for $4.66.
7. A Matrix patch that speaks nothing but the truth. You can iron it onto a jean jacket or backpack, which is great if you aren't exactly a whiz with a needle and thread.
8. A set of two Baby Yoda figurines, because you'd be lying if you refused to acknowledge how freaking cute this little 50-year-old boop is. Admit it. You love Baby Yoda.
9. A copy of The Secret History Of Twin Peaks that'll help you delve you even deeper into the world of the original series. If you've been chewing over the unexplained phenomena the show is famous for, this book will give you the context you've always wanted.
10. Or this hilarious Twin Peaks cookbook that'll give you recipes dedicated to dishes from the show. Laura Palmer's turkey melt? Annie Blackburn's cornbread? Yup, they're in there.
11. A pair of lightsaber chopsticks that'll make you feel like a kid again. Let the nostalgia wash over you while you chow down on takeout and rewatch The Empire Strikes Back.
12. A pack of vinyl stickers that are literally out of this world. You can put them on your laptop, phone case, or even use them in your bullet journal.
13. A copy of Neuromancer that'll let you escape into a dystopian reality that isn't your own for once (woo!). It's one of the best examples of cyberpunk literature and basically a rite of passage for anyone who's into that kind of stuff.
To put it as simply as possible: William Gibson's Neuromancer follows an ex-console cowboy (AKA a computer hacker) who was once a master at navigating through the Matrix. We find him at the end of his rope with nothing to live for, until he comes face to face with one last job that puts him up against a powerful A.I.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $11.87. Also available on Kindle.
14. A hilarious pair of socks that'll just tickle you pink if you love The Office (or bears, beets, and Battlestar Gallactica).
Get them from AwkoSockCo on Etsy for $21.99. Available in sizes M and L.
15. An Expanse t-shirt that'll remind you that Jim Holden was right — we do live in strange times. If you're a fan of the show (or the awesome book series it is based on), it would be a great (and wildly relevant) addition to your WFH wardrobe.
Get it from ShopPrismCollections on Etsy for $31.95+. Available in nine colours and in sizes S—4XL.
16. A ~replica~ of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, because if you've watched Blade Runner, you should probably read the book it's based on.
Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter, as he tracks down fugitive androids in a post-war, nearly deserted San Fransico. In the process, he falls in love with Rachael (who is also an android), which makes him (and us!) question what it means to be human at all.
Although that might sound just like the plot of the film, you'll discover super-cool elements that are exclusive to the book — like a mood machine, religious subplot, new characters, and a major focus on the concept of empathy.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $21.78. Also available on Kindle.
17. A waffle and pancake maker that'll jazz up your morning with a galactic breakfast. I don't care what anyone says, you don't have to be a kid to enjoy alien-shaped food.
Forego the mess of a million used dishes and use this genius batter mixer to help you out.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $55.29.
18. And a Darth Vader apron that you should absolutely wear while you make said galactic breakfast. You can also use it as part of your Darth Vader Halloween costume when October rolls around!
19. A copy of The Movie Art of Syd Mead that'll make you ooh and aah at his futuristic mind of visual mastery. Reviewers say this hefty collection is a perfect mix of narrative, design process, and art.
20. A Rick and Morty Risk game that'll have you taking over the whole galaxy in no time. It's a perfect twist on the classic board game, if you're a fan of the popular Adult Swim series.
21. An Akira movie poster that'll flaunt your undying love for Neo-Tokyo and Japanese cyberpunk. It'll look amazing on your bedroom wall or in a frame on your desk.
If you've only seen the film, stop what you're doing and read the OG Akira manga as soon as humanly possible.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $21.95.
22. An Alien colouring book, because what could be more therapeutic than colouring in the intricate details of your childhood nightmares?
Try these fine-point metallic markers for an otherworldy colouring experience.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $19.75.
23. An X-Files patch that is based on the poster that hangs in Agent Mulder's office. Iron it onto your fave backpack and enjoy the knowing glances of fellow fans.
Get it from RagnarTheTrader on Etsy for $12.50.
24. A Star Wars lamp that uses acrylic plates shaped like R2-D2, the Death Star, and the Millennium Falcon to create the illusion of 3D projections. Reviewers love the colourful glow it emits and say it's perfect to use as an ambient nightlight.
25. A retro Blade Runner print that'll add a fun splash of neon dystopia to your apartment. Reviewers love that it's printed on canvas and say the contrasting colours are vibrant, deep, and flawless.
26. And finally, the official Klingonese Course from Duolingo that'll teach you the official language of the fictional Klingon species. Are you ready to communicate with this ruthless warrior race? Lumbe' tlhInganpu'!
