Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits Australia on December the 17^th. For those of you who don’t live in the land down under, that’s generally one of the hottest times of the year. The only white Christmas we’d ever get is from a rain of fire retardant foam because it’s not unusual for a large percentage of the country to burst into flame around the holiday season. In some ways we’re like a mix between Tattooine and Mustafar during the summer. So when spontaneous combustion is a likely occurrence, staying hydrated and cool is a must. Which is why these new Star Wars stein mugs and ice cube trays are an excellent gift to any star wars fan.

Featuring a hinged lid where their heads should be, these ceramic steins will keep your drink cool and prevent any spillage. Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2D2, and Boba Fett are all available, and I’d say the force is pretty strong with these ones.

There’s also a range of novelty ice cube trays in various shapes. Storm Trooper and Darth Vader helmets, R2D2s, X-Wing fighters, Millennium Falcons, and most memorably; Han Solo frozen in Carbonite.

If all goes well with the new Star Wars movies, perhaps we’ll get a bunch of new iconic characters to turn into merchandise… Just like everyone’s favourite Jar Jar Binks.
