20-Sided Die from Ancient Egypt
This 20-sided die unearthed in Egypt reportedly dates from between 300 and 30 BCE, and is now being kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. This proves that the Egyptians (or their Greek masters during the Ptolemaic Era) played Dungeons and Dragons long before us!

Epic Mario Bros. inspired Light Fixture
The dudes at Lootiful are selling this wonderful lighting fixture--some assembly required. It's $55 USD, but you can make that back by punching the bottom of it 55 times.
NB: yes, punching, not headbutting; look closely at the pixels. It's Mario's fist that bashes bricks and boxes, not his noggin as the common misconception goes.
