Stargate CoastersAre you looking for a way to nerd up your coffee table? These Stargate coasters should help. Just set your drink down on one and pretend that it just got transported to the far reaches of the universe via a wormhole.

Each measures 4.57″ in diameter. A set of four will cost you a shocking $29.99. At least they have felt-feet to keep your tabletop unscratched. Just don’t be surprised if some Egyptian dude on a far away planet ends up with your Iced Tea.

iPhone Coffee Table with built-in coaster appHere’s one nice looking piece of geek furniture. The iPhone’s colorful icons translate well into spots to park your drinks. Oddly and sadly, the iPhone Coffee Table has no special dock for your iPhone, and it won’t run any apps. It’s just a really kick-ass coffee table featuring the home screen.

One cool feature is that each icon features a removable coaster so guests won’t scratch up your giant nerd-decor. The creators claim that it’s “completely made of corrugate and glued together with white glue”. Anyhow, the end result is a beauty.

iPhone coasters protect your table’s user interface

iPhone coasters protect your table’s user interfaceThese coasters from Meninos, take your love of iPhone and use that power to protect furniture. They’re made from thin plywood wrapped in a vinyl decal, with rubber slapped on the bottom. The 3.34″ coasters come in a pack of 16 for $60, which seems just a bit expensive, but let’s face it, it isn’t cheap being a geek.

Now, if only they had wireless capabilities, you could set your drink down and open the app at the same time. Or play an iPhone game between two drinkers. Everytime you take a drink, you set it down on an app and counter each other’s moves. Oh well, maybe next time.
