Gifts for Geeks: Classic Games Kitchen Accessories

You've got your Pacman cookie cutters and the oven timer starts beeping, what do you use to remove the hot baking tray from the oven? You could use regular, boring oven gloves, or you could get yourself this Pacman oven mitt. Yes, this little Pacman is actually a very functional (kind of) and basically essential piece of kitchen kit. So you'd be completely justified in heading over to Amazon and spending £12 on it. 


If you're more of a Tetris fan, then you'll need this ice cube tray (especially if you need to cool down after basking in the warmth of your Tetris lights). I want to make chocolate in this and then play my own, slightly sticky, game of Tetris and I can just eat the blocks that don't fit where I want them to. You'll have to wait a while for all this Tetris-ice-cube based fun though because it's not available yet, but you can pre-order yours from Forbidden Planet for £5.49.


Siany thinks that Space Invaders is the best arcade game ever so I know she'd love a cake made with this cake mould. Quite honestly, who wouldn't? I think every birthday, anniversary and Thursday would be made even more special if it came with a space invader shaped cake. This one is yours for £14 from Pixmania.

So, what is the best arcade game ever? Is Siany right, or does anyone else hold a special place in their hearts for Dig Dug?

    1. It's sort of Pacman-ish but has a wee man digging through soil and being chased by monsters. It was one of my favourite games for the Atari.

    2. That does actually sound quite good. I loved my old Atari. It had the best games.
