Geeky Valentine’s Gift Idea: Star Wars Trash Compactor Bookends

Stumped on what to give your significant other who can’t have enough of Star Wars? The chances are that he or she has everything there is for a Star Wars fan collector, but here is the perfect Valentine’s gift, especially if he or she is a bookworm as well.

This pair of Star Wars Trash Compactor Bookends will keep books sturdily in place plus give you the pleasure of gazing at the massively detailed scene.

Every Star Wars fan would know that trash compactor scene and describe it in his dreams, and these bookends captures that scene amazingly. Take another look.

In case you want to watch the “real” scene again, here’s a clip.

The bookends are made of polystone and handpainted, so you can understand why it costs several hundred dollars. The bad news is that it’s not available at this time, but you can monitor the Amazon page for when it becomes available again. Cross your fingers…

But since this is supposed to be an idea for a gift for Valentine’s, the route you might want to take is DIY. I’m sure if you’re handy with crafts and you’re dedicated enough, you’ll figure out a way.

If you can’t do that, here’s another great idea: a DIY AT-AT/Cable Box/Card Case for only $35.
