As a veteran of the Seattle convention circuit, I was ecstatic to peruse new-to-me vendors from across Oregon when I attended Rose City Comic Con for the first time.
With booths that feature one-of-a-kind apparel, Minecraft toys, home decor, and more, all of these phenomenal vendors have one thing in common: fantastic wares to show off your favorite geek loves. Take a look at these super shops and check out their online storefronts to snag some goodies for yourself.
Storiarts
Storiarts is a store that speaks to the book lover in all of us. If you have a librarian or teacher on your holiday list this year, bookmark the site now to get a jump on the perfect present.
The thick, high-quality infinity scarves and throw pillows feature quotes from classics like Dracula, Jane Eyre, The Raven, Sherlock Holmes, and more.
EnderToys
EnderToys came to my rescue when I was looking for something to bring home from the con for my six-year-old. These Minecraft-inspired toys are made of plastic, not paper, so they are more durable to handle.
Featuring YouTube stars like Stampy Cat, iBallisticSquid, and DanTDM, along with the ability to upload your own Minecraft skin, these figures are great for getting Let’s Play fans to actually play.
OutNerdMe
OutNerdMe makes simple but stylish posters that are so pretty they can be featured on the wall of your bedroom, game room, or even living room. The graceful word art is a treasure trove of all the best quotes from your favorite movie or show, artfully arranged. Any art you pick up from OutNerdMe is certain to be a conversation starter.
Pennavir Crafts
Pennavir Crafts lets your geek flag fly on your car or laptop (or anywhere at all). With a variety of fandom-inspired designs and sticker sizes, you’re certain to find something that shows off what you love. Ready to declare your side in the upcoming Civil War? Stick Captain America or Iron Man on your car to let the world know!
These are all Glorious. I’m going to have to make it to the Con next year.
