Nov 22 2009Game Controller Ornaments: Controllaments
Looking for some stylized video game controller ornaments for your Christmas tree this year? Then look no further than these laser-cut plastic joints! TA-DOW.
Each set comes with 7 ornaments, including 2-dimensional cutout versions of Wii, N64, Xbox 360, Dreamcast, NES, PS2 and Sega Genesis controllers. The ornaments each measure between 3 and 4 inches wide, so they're a bit smaller than the real deals.
They're available in 6 colors, including red, white, yellow, black, clear, and red-tinted acrylic, and can be found over at Digits' Ponoko or Etsy shops for just $20 bucks a set.
Alternatively, take your controllers from yesteryear and drape them around the tree like tinsel. Thread popcorn onto the cords for a real decorative touch. Are you getting this, Martha? I WILL OUT-DECORATE YOU ANY DAY. Love your recipes!
Hit the jump for a close-up and some different colors.

Thanks to Aisha and mark, who decorate their trees the old fashioned way: with candles. I'll call the fire department.

An AWESOME Christmas gift I've always wanted to make.......
Get a nice fat kona bud (at least 4 grams) and carve little nooks out of it and fill the little nooks with pills, so they look like ornaments, and the bud is the tree..... some day..... some day..... just sayin

Is it just me, or is there an egregious lack of SNES controllers in that line up? I've looked and looked and maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't see one. How can you have the Wii but not the SNES?!

@9, you know what, your right!.....
You are stupid.
They are just plastic xmas decorations, not a console popularity contest.

Just bought them. Had to.

@10 Chill, dude. I wasn't implying it was. It just seemed odd that they'd leave such a well known console (and for that matter, such a uniquely shaped controller) out of a series like that. *shrug*

Is twenty dollars bucks anything like twenty double dollars?
Unfortunately I don't know how to convert to that currency.

@ 17
They already have 3 nintendo controlers. And 3 out of 7 ain't bad.
