But a trip to the cineplex is hard to fit in a stocking, so Mashablehas compiled a gift guide that would make a Bounty Hunter blush, stuffed with enough gadgets, toys, clothing, kitchen appliances and plain ol' nerdery to send your loved ones into hyperspace when they open their presents this year. (Or you can just keep them for yourself -- it's what Han Solo would do.)

Battling Drones

Elaborate space battles have always been a signature part of the Star Warssaga, so if you have a friend or family member who has always aspired to pilot an X-wing (or a TIE fighter or speeder bike, for that matter), Propel's laser battling quads are the next best thing. The hand-painted drones can reach speeds of 35 mph and are capable of engaging in laser battles with up to 12 other pilots simultaneously. The Death Star will never see you coming. Price: $239.99
