It’s been a couple years or so now since we’ve been thinking how nice it would be to be able to turn any digital image into a wall decal. You can decorate your walls with literally any design of your own or, what seems to be fairly popular, get a near life size cutout of your child enjoying their favorite activity. Being able to display your favorite scenic picture you actually took yourself on your one trip out of this county up to 7 feet wide on your bedroom wall also crosses our minds as we think of the awesome possibilities Wallhogs can provide.

Printing options include the removable, reusable vinyl, glossy poster, or quality canvas. There is no minimum order, so you don’t have to order a bunch, and they encourage using your own photos although you can browse through what they offer as well.

Sarcasm alert. If you’re influenced by popular culture and the general census, then you’ll feel comfortable knowing bands and celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Social Distortion, Offspring, and more are partnering with Wallhogs to let you put their logo/image on your wall to view everyday!

This could also make a great gift for the holidays by getting a life size removable vinyl decal of a new bike for your kid and set it up in their bedroom before they wake x-mas morning. Then film the results, put it on YouTube and send a link to the entire family. You might want to actually have the real bike waiting in the next room though. Maybe save money this holiday season on traveling by taking a family photo and send it to Grandma so she can put it on her wall instead of flying across the country. These are all viable options I’d like to officially suggest. If you have any official suggestions of your own please leave a comment as I’d like to know more.

Remember the 8-bit days of running and jumping from left to right and trying to avoid those carnivorous plants that arose from sewer pipes? Yeah me too. I was a rough life. Well fast forward 2 decades or so and now we are dealing with wireless controllers with like 8x more buttons and visual effects that we swear look totally real. If you or someone you know likes to reminisce of the simple 8-bit days then this pixelated style clip-on tie, dubbed The 8-Bit Tie, is a unique gift sure to be enjoyed. It has a silk-like feel, and each one is handmade for that special touch. Wear it with a button up, regular t-shirt, or snap it on your dog, where ever it goes it screams video game nostalgia and lets others know you are an old school techie fan.

For other novel ties with a techie flair check out ThinkGeek’s “Ties Suck” Tie and their Power Tie.
