D20 Ring, LEGO Stud Earrings. Images: Gr0glmann, used with permission.
So you’re all decked out in your GeekDad T-shirt and Star Wars sneakers, ready for your next convention. But what about the accessories?
A friend of mine tipped me off to this fun Etsy shop by Gr0glmann. Gr0glman (David P. in real life) started making jewelry out of LEGO and board game bits in high school, and eventually started this Etsy store to help make some money during college. David told me he graduated this spring in Computer Engineering and is going back to school for business in the spring. There’s a lot of fun and funny stuff (Slave Leia necklace, anyone?) but I think my favorites are the D20 ring and LEGO stud earrings pictured above. (He even made sure to have the “20” facing up, which is a nice touch.)
Sure, some of this is probably fairly easy to make yourself, but if you’re looking for a cute, inexpensive gift for somebody who loves LEGO (or board games), check out Gr0glmann’s Etsy shop and take a look around.
Thanks to Angela for the tip!
