This version of the Falcon is squished, probably from your fat butt sliding down hills. The Falcon has seen better days that’s for sure. But sadly, this is as close as you are likely to get, to really being able to ride the Falcon. You’ll be riding on, not in.

The Millennium Falcon sled is basically a souped-up saucer sled that allows older geeks to have some winter fun outside and be pointed at by young kids who have cooler sleds that don’t look like a flattened cartoon spaceship. It’s pretty expensive for a saucer sled at $34.99, but hell, it’s shaped like the Millennium Falcon.

Have a look at the sneer on this thing’s face. Yes, it’s so badass it has it’s own mean face. A face that will scare all but the bravest from climbing on and taking a ride, immediately sorting the poseurs from the rugged manly men. It’s a concept snowmobile from Dominic Shindler and you can color us impressed. The design is aggressive and intimidating while standing still.

It sports huge, wide tracks in front and skis in the rear. It’s basically a snowmobile on steroids that looks nothing like the typical winter off-road machines. It even sports a place for your skis in case you want to enjoy the next hill.

If you find yourself slipping and sliding in the winter months, why not make like your car tires and get some chains on your sneakers? This is an absolutely brilliant idea. And they go nicely with the Tire tread iPhone case.

For $59, you can throw fashion out the window and make sure that your sneakers always have a firm grip in snow and ice. They feature “strategically placed stainless steel spikes connected to a dynamic flex-chain with a tough elastomer shoe harness”. And they don’t require any special buckles or straps.

If you’re spending much of your holidays in the snow or if you happen to fall in a lake, this boot and glove dryer might come in handy. The Pacific Outdoors Deluxe Boot and Glove Dryer supposedly dries your boots and gloves quietly, with efficient thermal convection that circulates warm air through your boots.

No word on how much power it sucks up, but nothing beats being able to wear some pre-heated and dry boots in the winter. The price is $44. As a bonus it looks like some strange booted and gloved creature with no head has just kicked the bucket right there on your floor.

This portable toy blaster can pack and launch softball-sized snowballs, making you the new undisputed king of the snowball fight. It will give you “rapid, long-range assaults during neighborhood snowball confrontations.” Just place the snow in the forming chamber, close the lid, and you’ve got three perfectly spherical snowballs.

To shoot, place one snowball in the muzzle, aim the launcher, and pull back the slingshot mechanism. It’s powered by elastomers (Fancy talk for slingshot rubber?) and made of durable, cold-resistant plastic. You even get targets for shooting practice. Boy are your friends gonna hurt! The 50′ Snowball Launcher is available for $29.95.

Winter is coming fast and if you are out in the cold a lot, you know that the first part of your body to feel it’s cold chill are your fingers. So why not buy a pair of Aevex Gloves instead of normal ones? The Aevex gloves will keep your hands warm and toasty as they store energy in lithium-polymer batteries, delivering warmth for 6 hours at a time.

What’s interestingly about them is that they don’t waste energy. The gloves will only allocate heat when required, in order to conserve energy. This kind of hand warmth isn’t cheap though. The Mountain Hardwear Red Savina and Outdoor Research PrimoVolta will retail for $300 and $260. Make sure you either have a good charge or bring a back up pair after 6 hours.

Winter is on it’s way and text addicts will want to be prepared. When it gets cold, you’ll either have to pull your gloves off just to tap out a text message, or you can use Dots gloves and remain warm while texting away. Dots gloves are gloves with…dots on the fingers. The manufacturer says they won’t scratch your touchscreen. You can get a pair, with a choice of several colors for $10. No matter how could it gets you’ll be living up to your full human potential with all of your usual deep philosophical banter of rotf’s, lol’s, omg’s and omfg’s.
