2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Stark iPhone and Laptop Skins
In the immortal words of Bob & Doug McKenzie, “This should just be the 2 days of Christmas… it’s too hard for us.”
Keep your portable electronics snug and warm! Or at least show your support for House Stark, like all right-thinking Game of Thrones fans. Whether you want to cover your laptop or your phone with the Stark Direwolf, these skins can protect your device and inform everyone that Winter is Coming. Durable skin is completely removable and reusable. Choose from multiple laptop screen sizes, phones and mp3 devices (not just iPhone). Also available for House Targaryen, Baratheon, Tully, Arryn, Lannister and Greyjoy.
2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Game of Thrones Comics
Don’t know what to get for the George R R Martin fan who has everything? How about comics with multiple covers? Make your list… check it twice… get all the comics, they’re very nice!
Enjoy A Game of Thrones #1 “Winter Is Coming” comic with options of multiple covers. There’s plenty to choose from. The Mike Miller cover (left) shows Ned Stark under the heart tree in the godswood of Winterfell. The Alex Ross cover (right) features a man with a sword (presumably Ned Stark, but there’s certainly no shortage of men with swords in Westeros) surrounded by the 6 Stark Direwolves (there is a shortage of Direwolves so I’m certain these are them).
Alex Ross and Tommy Patterson also teamed up to create some variant covers for the first issue. The Ice Blue variant cover (left) was produced for New England Comic Book Retailers and only 1000 copies were printed. The Negative (reverse color image) is available as well. Do these covers are available in limited quantities, so this may be your last chance to pick up some rare collectible comics on the cheap from Amazon.
For more details on later issues of the A Game of Thrones comic, check out the publisher’s site at Dynamite Entertainment, where you can also order online if you can’t find them in your local comics shop.
Still not sure? Check out the first issue thanks to the extended preview!

2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Needle
Don’t forget to practice your Needle-work this holiday season!
Or, giveth the gift unto your little sister as Jon Snow gaveth unto Arya. Mikken takes cash or credit.
This sword is smaller than either Ice or Longclaw, befitting the Braavosi water dancer in all of us. Arya’s Needle is a limeted edition by Valyrian Steel, crafted from high carbon steel; the hilt is cast metal with nickel plating and wrapped in leather. Display plaque also includes mounting hardware. Total length of 30 inches.
In case you need convincing, here’s Maisie Williams showing you how to use the pointy end!
2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Fevre Dream Book and Comic
Step out of the A Song of Ice and Fire universe and explore yet another dark side of George R. R. Martin with his novel Fevre Dream! Also available in graphic novel form.
Explore the night world of steamboats and vampires in the 1850s with either of these two versions of Fevre Dream by the Man Himself. Originally published in 1982, GRRM offers a fresh take on the life history of bloodthirsty human-like creatures who hunt mortal men and women. These guys didn’t sparkle and weren’t all beautiful. The hero of the story is Abner Marsh, the salty cap’n of Fevre Dream, a grand marvel of a Mississippi steamboat. The graphic novel is a visual rendering of the same tale; while not giving the full power of Martin’s words, it is a good read for the comic enthusiast.
2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Map of Westeros Poster
Learn your Westeros geography with this artistically rendered map of the Seven Kingdoms!
Don’t lose sight of the important strongholds in the realm. From the lands north of the Wall to the southron peninsula, this map encompasses Westeros and a teasing taste of the Eastern continent, Essos. Hang this map proudly in your throneroom, war tent or solar. The color and quality is good enough to display in any tower at the Citadel!
Another HBO Shop exclusive, the Westeros poster is 11 x 17 inches and comes with a plastic sleeve and hanging hook.
2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Night’s Watch Oath Mug
It’s cold. You’re 700 feet up on a Wall of ice. It’s cold. You’re stuck here with a bunch of smelly dudes, rapers, theives and green boys. It’s cold. Your only entertainment is fighting Wildlings or becoming an Other. It’s cold. Not even Winter yet, the Summer snows are omnipresent. It’s cold. You’re here for life. What’s worse – this place doesn’t even have coffee.
What better way of reminding your brothers of the Vows you’ve all sworn than with the Night’s Watch Oath Mug, an HBO Shop exclusive Game of Thrones item. Holding 16 ounces, this ceramic mug has taken the black along with you crows. Settle in for a long night and serve up some of the Old Boar’s Hot Spiced Wine… your watch isn’t over yet.

2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: Game of Thrones Coasters
Historians agree that the biggest grievances for the people of antiquity were unsightly stains on fine linens and regal wood tables from spilt ale, boar grease, and poisoned wine. Robert Baratheon himself would fancy these Game of Thrones coasters to keep the Great Hall’s high table fresh and tidy.
So as you feast and wench this festive season, mind your cups and use a coaster proclaiming your House sigil. This set of four features the Houses of Baratheon, Stark, Targaryen and Lannister emblems on tumbled stone coasters with cork baking so they won’t scratch or mar your furnishings, whether you are entrenched within your war tent or breaking fast in your solar.
An HBO Store exclusive!
2011 Holiday Gifts Roundup: A Game of Thrones Card Game
If a 5 foot sword isn’t your idea of a stocking stuffer, why don’t you delight your loved ones with A Game of Thrones: The Card Game? Based on the A Song of Ice and Fire book series by award-winning author George R. R. Martin, the card game from Fantasy Flight Games is a sure hit for GRRM fans and card gamers alike.
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Luckily, if it’s just the card game you don’t have to sweat it. You can play with 2-4 players, in a heads up game with one opponent (a joust) or multiplayer with up to 3 other players (a melee). Similar to other collectible card games like Magic: The Gathering, these cards are more than just game pieces, they are works of art! There are many expansion packs available, allowing you to customize your playing deck to fell your foes. The starter game package includes a game board and four 52-card playing decks to get you reaving and plundering your enemies.
