Earl Grey. Hot. For two. Make it so!

NEWS – Every tea-drinking Star Trek: TNG-loving person you know wants one of these tea sets for Christmas!  I know I want one!  This teapot has the United Federation of Planets logo, while the cups, creamer, and sugar bowl all feature the Starfleet Command logo, and the saucers are marked “U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D”.  The shape of the vessels are all wonderfully futuristic, and they would be right at home on The Enterprise herself.

The set has a 20-oz teapot that is 7″ in diameter and 3″ tall.  The creamer and sugar bowl are each 3.5″ in diameter and 3″ tall; the creamer holds 7 ounces and the sugar bowl holds about 0.75 cup.  You’ll set a set of two cups and saucers, with each cup measuring 2.5″ diameter base and 3″ tall and holding 5 ounces, and each saucer is a 5.5″ square.

This beautiful Star Trek Captain’s Tea Set is available for $59.99 at ThinkGeek.

Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated by this Borg cube!

NEWS – I’ve reviewed a couple of accent lights similar to this Star Trek Giant Borg Cube Mood Light, but I’ve never tried one this large nor one from the Star Trek universe.  The Borg mood light is officially-licensed Star Trek: The Next Generation merchandise.  The polyethylene cube is 15.5″ on a side.  It supports up to 190 pounds, so you can use it as a chair, or as a footstool, a table, or simply as accent lighting.  It’s safe for use indoors or outdoors in dry conditions.Its internal 2200mAh lithium battery recharges with the included 6 ft. 110V AC power cord (US) and provides up to 8 hours of light at the low setting.  It operates in four modes:  flash, strobe, fade, and smooth.  You select from 16 colors and brightness levels using the included remote.

The Star Trek Giant Borg Cube Mood Light is $149.99 – and remember, this isn’t just a light; it’s furniture, too!  It’s available at ThinkGeek.

Take command of your coins

NEWS – Tired of having a pocketful of loose coins?  The Delta Coin Pouch’s mission is to help you take command of your change.  The pouch’s shape is inspired by the Delta badges of the original Star Trek series.  The spiral insignia screen-printed on the front of the pouch is the Operations insignia used in the new Star Trek: Discovery TV show.

The coin pouch is officially licensed.  It’s made of faux leather and has a zipper closure.  You can use it to hold your earbuds or charging cable if you don’t need a coin purse.  Hopefully, the red color doesn’t carry the same connotations as the red shirts…

The Star Trek Delta Coin Pouch is $4.00 at Amazon.

Forget smart lighting. Add Star Trek phaser-controlled lighting to your home!

NEWS – Remember in The Enemy Within episode from Star Trek TOS when Mr. Sulu and the landing party were stuck on Alfa 177, where the temperatures were dropping to -120°?  They survived by heating stones to glowing, hot heat generators with their phasers as they huddled nearby under their survival blankets.  Well, the Star Trek TOS Phaser-Controlled Rock Mood Light won’t keep you warm, but it will light your room, and you’ll use a phaser-like remote to control it.

The lamp has a rock-shaped shell with LEDs inside.  In “survival mode”, the lamp will glow red so long as you “fire” the phaser at it (complete with firing sounds), and it will dim down when you stop firing the phaser.  The lamp also has an “atmosphere mode” which lets you have the rock glow one color, cycle through all available colors quickly or slowly, glow with maximum brightness, or dim over a period of ten minutes to help you drift off to sleep.

The IR remote looks like a Type-1 phaser from the first season of TOS; it has an IR range of 10 feet.  The rock stands 7.3″ tall x 6.7″ wide x 6.3″ deep and is powered by battery or with the included USB cable.  You’ll even get a Starfleet standard-issue emergency survival blanket.  The lamp is an officially-licensed Star Trek: The Original Series merchandise and is an SDCC ThinkGeek exclusive from The Wand Company.

The Star Trek TOS Phaser-Controlled Rock Mood Light  is $69.99 at ThinkGeek.
