9. Doctor Who Ice Cube Molds – $12.99 (This Is Why I’m Broke)

7. TARDIS Tea Infuser – $15.99 (ThinkGeek)
The eighth Doctor once advised, “. . . never turn down tea if it’s offered. It’s impolite, and that’s how wars start.” We’re not sure if this TARDIS-themed contraption is a tea-infuser or a war-starter, but it’s pretty epic either way.

Two Streams Garden cocktails, baked hath, and marble cucumber circuits with Vesuvian fire dipping sauce are just a few of the recipes featured in this Whovian cookbook. Master a few of these dishes and increase your odds of becoming a companion. We’re pretty sure that’s how it works.
5. Time Lord Onesie – $25.00 (This Is Why I’m Broke)

4. TARDIS Earrings – $7.99 (Etsy)
If you’ve ever considered inking the word “NERD” on your forehead in bold, black letters, but you can’t settle on the perfect font, here’s a slightly tamer way to represent your Whovian side to humanity.
3. Sonic Screwdriver Programmable Remote – $99.99 (Amazon)
It can pick locks, donate bombs, screen medical conditions, and perform a variety of other situational tasks (yawn). But finally, after extensive scientific development, the sonic screwdriver can finally do something useful–change the channel. Also works on iPod docks and Blu-ray players!
2. “Vincent Travels” Print – Price Varies (Redbubble)

1. TARDIS Ring – $395 (Art & Gems)
Finally, perhaps the most epic Doctor Who themed gift is this stunning sapphire and diamond TARDIS ring, which is available in both sterling silver and white gold.
