Ten of the Very Best Space Invaders Gift Ideas Money Can Buy

Having been a child in the 80s means that I got to play some of the very first video games from which ALL others are made. Pacman, Super Mario and, of course, Space Invaders. The number of hours I spent in the arcade playing it, and shoving 10p coins down its mouth makes me wonder how I ever got any education whatsoever! But I did, and I am very happy and grateful for the time spent playing those classic video games, the education I received and the life path Atari helped me to discover. I have been so inspired by the nostalgia I am feeling for the memories of those times that I thought I would bring you this post.

These amazing ice-cube moulds were first seen in my post “Top 10 Ice Cube Molds” but since then the price has dropped to make them even cheaper. I think the price getting lower makes them a great kitchen gadget and a ‘must buy’ for fans of the game.

It seems that a firm called “New Movement” has the same happy memories of Taito’s Space Invaders that I do because they have made these rather creative “Juice Invaders” drinks cartoons!  Whilst they are not realised yet they are on their way so it will be worth keeping an eye out in the shops and supermarkets for them.

Wrist-watches do not get ANY more epic than this one. Class, style and designer made by Romain Jerome this really is the ultimate watch for us fans of the game, and if I had enough money I would definitely get one, but sadly it is a little bit out of my price range.
