Coelho Reborn!

alchemist_desk_items_1

If art doesn’t inspire, what use is it?! The Alchemist is a series of cool gentleman objects inspired from the book The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. The book talks about how everything you do or create plays a central role in the history of the world. Hence each one of us is a creator of history. Every creator thus needs their tools. The Alchemist series envisions these artifacts in a way that is inspired by Paulo Coelho’s writing. The main material used in these artifacts is metal, reinforcing the story of the mythical ability of an Alchemist to mutate metals.

Miniature Portal Gun Replica More Affordable Than Its Larger Cousin

People are clearly in love with the game Portal. Why not? It’s a great way to spend a weekend and once you’ve contorted your brain through its mountain of puzzles, you too will likely develop an affection for its various artifacts. Just this summer we told you about Portal Turret replica. And today we’re bringing news of a smaller version of the Portal Gun that came out a while ago. It’s only 1 ft. long and weighs about 1 lb. It’s got orange and blue LEDs and emits a unique sound that corresponds to each color and it works pretty much like the gun in the game, minus the portal creating abilities. Purchase-o-mania (aka Christmas) is coming, so this could make a pretty cool gift, especially considering the “handsome, full-color gift box” it comes in. $60 will tick one box from that list of yours. It’s designed and sold by ThinkGeek, so you know it’ll be great!
