Spock Box
So I went to Big Lots with my mom last week, which parenthetically, is its own special kind of hell, and they were having a clearance on Star Trek figures. I was standing there, looking at them, and suddenly I got this vision of Christmas which could only be realized with a glue gun and a handful of Vicodin. Fortunately, I had both.
Initially, I had thought about making a Star Trek nativity, but I couldn’t find Uhura. Then I remembered these Christmas dioramas I had seen on hat boxes, and I thought I might be on to something. Or at least on something. And it turns out I was.
I made two, and posted pictures on Facebook. I couldn’t believe the response. People really seem to like them, and in fact, offered to buy them. So it is true; people really will buy anything.
I decided to offer these up for sale, with the proceeds benefiting Project Angel Food; a fantastic organization in Los Angeles that provides lovingly prepared meals to men, women and children who are homebound and living with AIDS.
I guarantee Christmas delivery (but only in the U.S.).
It’s too late for Ebay, so we’ll do this by email bids. If you want one or the other, send me an email with whatever you think they’re worth, and I’ll go with the highest bidder. Bids are due tomorrow, December 17th at midnight PDT. I will overnight them to you on Monday.
SPOCK’S FIRST CHRISTMAS
Spock is up from his chair, and about the place the star on top of the tree using his patented Vulcan finger method. He’s so excited, it’s like Pon Farr all over again.
Round box covered in blue and silver paper, trimmed with sequins, artificial snow and silver garland
Box:
3 5/8″ high
20″ around
Entire assemblage:
11″ tall
KIRK’S DRUNK
While decorating the tree, Kirk had a little too much Romulan Ale and opened his gifts early (he got a brand new phaser and a box of tribbles).
Eight-sided box covered in pink and white paper, trimmed with sequins, artificial snow and silver garland
Box:
5 3/4″ wide
4 1/4″ high
Entire assemblage:
9 1/4″ high
Happy bidding!

this is highly illogical

I fucking love you, Regretsy lady.
December 17, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Those are fantastic! They’d go nicely with that magnetic Hannukah Spock Doll as well!
December 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm
even captain kirk knew that jesus was a dreidel spinner… even though they were both jewish… I LOVE IT MISS KILLER!
December 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm
Aaah Tribbles. The gift that keeps on giving. Just ask the Klingons.
HK, you are the best!
December 17, 2010 at 6:30 pm
I’m sure these will disappear in warp speed!
December 17, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Love,love,love,love love.
And if you need more tribbles, I can donate some cat hair to felt. Apparently it makes little fuzzy balls with minimal effort.
December 17, 2010 at 6:41 pm
wow those are nice i know several people who i have yet to get a gift for….
December 17, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Is it sad that I kind of like these?
December 17, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Fascinating.
December 17, 2010 at 7:09 pm
I love Regretsy. So entertaining and good.
December 17, 2010 at 7:21 pm
HK, you are teh awesomez.

You know…you can list it on Ebay for 5 days, 3, 2, and even 1 day listings. So it’s pretty sweet.
And so are the party guys.

The Killer is makin’ my heart warm.

#1. I love these. Thanks for making my day, H.K.
#2. Is it totally wrong that I was geeking out over the fact that I also have the paper she used to cover the boxes? In fact, I made boxes out of it. Eerie.

I know this is very Adult Child of me, but I feel bad for Kirk. He’s under a lot of pressure, and he’s so far from home on the holiday. I hope Santa comes by to make sure he’s lying on his side after he passes out.

Those are BEAUTIFUL!!! You are one talented glue gunnin’ mama!
December 17, 2010 at 8:40 pm
HK, you are a wonderful woman, and I just want to thank you for creating Regretsy and bringing more whimsical fuckery into my life than I ever knew existed.
December 17, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Wow, I just noticed these are the Pine/Quinto Kirs & Spock instead of Shatner/Nimoy.
I would need 2 sets of this awesomeness with each cast for completeness.
December 17, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Those are fucking BRILLIANT!
December 17, 2010 at 11:26 pm
…i have no words…
it’s just so…
BEAUTIFUL!!!

I’m filing this under “Not Remotely Crap” and “Art.” If it’s anything other than art, it’s crap. Crap that looks really fucking great.
December 18, 2010 at 12:11 am
I’m not a Star Trek fan, yet want these. If only we weren’t tight on funds until the 24th!

“Spockin’ around the Christmas Tree / at the Christmas party hop…”
December 18, 2010 at 7:43 am
If I had a job I would so bid on these!
December 18, 2010 at 8:29 am
Woo hoo! Set phasers on “stun”ning, HK!!
December 18, 2010 at 8:36 am
These are awesome! And for such a great cause! I think HK’s heart grew three sizes today.
December 18, 2010 at 9:04 am
My gods, I adore you… I really, really do!
December 18, 2010 at 9:23 am
Live long and prosper, HK!!

‘vision of Christmas which could only be realized with a glue gun and a handful of Vicodin.’
Since when do you spend Christmas at my house?
December 18, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Is the tall tree Joseph?

#31 : ditto that…
December 19, 2010 at 12:37 am
My god…it’s full of awesome!!!!*
*I’m mixing my iconic “outer space” quotes here, but I stand by my word choice.
December 20, 2010 at 10:46 am
These are truly beautiful.
December 22, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Fuckin’ amazing. I’m sorry I missed the auction.
December 23, 2010 at 6:01 am
LOL absolutely fabulous! Except that it would have been even better if Spock had been celebrating Chanukkah – with the blue-and-white box and all.
