Geek up the tree with ninjas, vampires, superheroes, and Jedi
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: three sneaky ninjas.

Also: ten caped crusaders, nine Star Wars figures, two vampires, and a well-muscled werewolf in a fir tree.

The husband and wife team of Itty Bitty Wood Shoppe on Etsy is best known for highly detailed wooden wedding cake toppers, but for the holidays, they're turning their brushes and Sculpy to holiday ornaments fit to pique any geek. The ninjas stand two inches tall and come in a pack of three, ready to hang on the tree for an extra Silent Night. Because you never hear ninjas, right?


It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a tree full of superheroes! Check out the listing for your favorite hero or request a custom ornament. If their happy wedding customers are any indication, they're great at that sort of thing. There's Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern. But, oddly, not many Avengers. What, are they still having schawarma?


The Force is strong with this tree, thanks to nine adorable Star Wars characters. Whether you want a mid-air lightsaber battle between Obi Wan and Darth, or really dig that extra-tall, sculpted Chewie, these little dudes will look great with the Christmas lights--if you can get the kids to quit playing with them.


Team Edward? Team Jacob? You can recreate all the best fight scenes--or, yeah, the wedding--with these three Twilight ornaments. Check out Edward's artfully messy sculpted hair! And Bella's apple! And Jake's horrible werewolf stench! Okay, maybe not that last one. But what a great gift for the teen vampire fan in your life. Or yourself. Mmm...werewolf pecs.
Deck those geek halls, mamas! -Delilah
