Every gamer girl needs some sort of accessory to show off her geeky personality. When I’m looking for my geeky or nerdy fix, I turn to Etsy. It’s such a dangerous place to shop because most of what people are selling is really neat stuff. Here is a list of some of my favorite gamer girl accessories, (most are from Etsy).
Custom Xbox 360 Controllers (InnovativeGamer) – InnovativeGamer is run by a stay-at-home dad who makes handmade customs controllers. He offers free shipping on all his US orders (including PO box and APO address), and he makes sure he is giving you exactly what you want as a gamer. He uses Microsoft motherboards, and all the shells and buttons are brand new (even the exact size and weight of an official controller). He even changes the LED light color.
8-Bit Retro Pixel Skull Hair Clip (emmadreamstar) – emmadreamstar has plenty of other gamer-friendly accessories, but this happens to be one of my favorites. It’s handmade with beads, ribbon, and a hair clip. The hair clips are made to order so they usually take about a week to make, but Emma also adds that they could take longer due to how many she may have to make, or what time of the year it is (ex. Christmas). Please check out some of Emma’s other awesome game-related items in her shop!
Glitter Rainbow Gamer Controller Necklace (PunkerBoodleBoutique) – Charlie the owner of PunkerBoodleBoutique uses resin to make all of her jewelry. Other materials she uses include: ribbon, polymer clay, and even candy sprinkles. The controller is rainbow colored with glitter, but the buttons are all the same as an official Microsoft Xbox 360 controller. It comes on a 20” chain unless you specifiy that you want a different size. All the colors of the rainbow are there, they may just be a bit hard to see. She also has other resin jewelry, some which is gamer-related.
Potion Necklace (FrozenCrafts) – Ugnė owns FrozenCrafts and is based in the United Kingdom (which may make shipping expensive due to customs). There are six colors of potion to choose from, she also lists what each color represents, except for a few (pink, orange, and purple). The size of each potion bottle is about 2cm and you can get it on a velvet cord, red ribbon, leather cord, or a metal chain. She adds that she seals the bottles for safety reasons, and that she adds a small silver star onto the finished product (shown in on the pictures on her site.
Large Star Glitter Controller Necklace (KawaiiPowerUp) – I know I have already shown you one controller necklace that was made out of resin, but this is different. It uses pastel colors and a PlayStation controller instead of an Xbox controller. Glitter is still used with the resin, but the colors are more of a pastel and frosty look to them. Because the item is made to order, it may take a longer time for you to receive it, but it’s still really cute looking! Like PunkerBoodleBoutique, this shop also sells other jewelry and gamer-related items also made of resin.
Pikachu Kawaii Cameo Necklace (Octopug) – I am on LOVE with this necklace! This pink and yellow necklace has the face of the adorable Pikachu as part of it. Octopug ships worldwide from Canada (which, once again, may add a bit more to shipping and handling due to customs) and even includes shipping insurance (which at $100 is pretty expensive in and of itself). Along with the Pikachu cameo and other beading, the neckalce includes a cute little lightening bolt. Octopug also has other great geeky and kawaii items for sale.
Xbox 360 Game Case Earring (G33KTweek) – These are awesome! You can pick any game you want for your mini Xbox 360 game cases. They are handmade out of polymer clay. If the game you want isn’t on the G33KTweek list, let them know and they will try to give you whatever game you want for your pair of earrings. They also accommodate for those who have sensitive ears and sell nickel free earrings free of charge. Because the earrings are made to order, they take a little bit of time to complete but they promise to try to get them finished as soon as possible and even ship them out first class so it is only in the mail for 1-2 days and if you like their page on Facebook, you may get a special coupon code. Check out their other geeky items for more wonderfulness!
Amigurumi Altair Assassin’s Creed Crochet Toy (CrisCrossCrafts) – I think this is the most adorable thing ever. I love Assassin’s Creed and I love Altair, and this just makes both better! Most of the plushie is made of cotton yarn, but his sword is made of polymer clay and is even a removable accessory, and he also has plastic for his eyes. Once again, because this is a custom made to order product, it may take some time for it to be shipped to you. Also, the store owner ships from Spain so; once again, there may be extra fees to pay for the shipping and handling of having to go through customs.
Official GamerGrlz Logo Sticker (GamerGrlz) – Every gamer girl needs a GamerGrlz sticker! Put it on your Xbox, your controller, and even your car. We even have a sticker contest going on where you can help us design a sticker to put in our collection. For more information check out the GamerGrlz Facebook page. We want to see your designs!
Beauty & Brains T-Shirt (BW303-Gaming) – That is right, I am selling t-shirts, stickers, prints, and iPad/iPhone/Samsung Galaxy cases. I have plenty of designs to look through, and I always have new ones coming. Sure, a lot are gamer girl friendly, but I even added a few for the gamer guys. My store is through RedBubble, and I have order things from there before and it does take time for you to get the items because everything is custom made so they don’t just have the stickers, and shirts, and all the other things readily available. You have to wait for them to print out the designs and then they will get them to you. I think when I ordered from them it took at least two weeks to get the products, but I wasn’t disappointed at all! You can also get all the designs on a different color background other than what is shown here and in the shop. If you have an idea for a design, or want to see me bring a design you have to life, let me know on my Facebook!
