Who should read this: anyone looking of ideas to do some last minute Christmas shopping, perhaps without even leaving the house

# 1: Christmas tree decoration

Christmas trees are the holiday’s decorative culmination point, with the star on top being maybe the most highlighted feature and the one item that will irradiate the Christmas spirit. If you’re in the search for a good gift, why not go for the obvious: create a unique, videogame inspired Topper Star using your 3D printer. You can change the color, add custom details, build it bigger or even implement some LEDs into it to make it shine like no other. No matter how you do it, a Christmas tree top star is sure to be used and enjoyed this time of the year.

You can download the Christmas Tree topper at Thingiverse.

#2: New 3D printed tools

If you want to create something that will be useful year-round, though, you should probably consider something like this Wrench Tool, that is created assembled and ready to be used right away (after removing the support material on the screw area). This tool also bears a special significance as it symbolizes the modern way that machines are building tools and you can make it of any size your 3D printed can handle.

#3 A cool individual lamp

To end the list of items you can build at home, you can also download and create a Cellular Lamp that will captivate people with its light playfulness and patterns. The design by Nervous System is truly unique and will stand out in any home. Try experimenting with colors and settings to get the best results possible, and this lamp won’t disappoint.

#4: Your little alter ego: 3D Selfies

What could be cooler than a surprise 3D printed avatar? You can use Leblox’s design application to create a “blocky” digital copy of anyone and then get them 3D printed in gypsum and delivered. The avatars are created using a colored block by block technique that gives them a unique, caricatural, pixelization effect. After you are done creating you can just order it and get it delivered to your doorsteps.

#5: Your perfect 3D printed watch
