Jul 22, 2012 1:00 PM   Do you deal with visiting family members during the holidays that more than overstay their welcome? This year try putting them up in one of these Podtime tubes, they'll quickly get the message that maybe they should have booked a hotel instead. They're not exactly ideal for those who suffer from claustrophobia, but as a way to maximize the occupancy of a given space—while still giving everyone a bit of privacy—they're actually not a terrible idea. What's most impressive is that they actually arrive flat-packed for easy transport and storage. Multiple units can be stacked on top of each other like a set of bunk beds, and while the base unit will set you back over $2,100, it can actually be customized with added amenities like LED lighting, a lockbox for luggage, a TV and DVD player, and even a rudimentary sound system with alarm.

But if you really want to spring from your slumber, the roar of a Wookiee alarm clock and the fear of having your arms torn off could be even more effective. These officially licensed Star Wars alarm clocks also come in C-3PO and Stormtrooper varieties, but who wouldn't want to be woken by a Wookiee every morning? And if that's not enough, the Chewbacca version comes with fantastic matching furry covers for the faux bells on top. For just over $30, it's the perfect bedside accessory for that awesome Chewbacca hoodie you curl up in every night.
