A novelty has appeared on the internet that would be just perfect for Minecraft fanatics – magnets. Not just any magnets – magnets that resemble the blocks and materials used for building in Minecraft. Think about that and absorb the genius of it. You can use said magnets to recreate your Minecraft empire on a smaller, flatter scale…

Handmade items always make a fantastic gift, no matter what the occasion, but they’re especially suitable for Valentine’s Day gifts. It’s a good way to make someone feel special, since you’re getting them what could be a one-of-a-kind item that’s exactly his or her taste.

Sadly, not all people are crafty enough to create their own gifts. A good alternative is to check out the various shops at Etsy.com. Many of the artists selling their wares there have a wide variety of items and gadgets appropriate for your video game valentine.

To make shopping easier, Gamertell has gone through some of the Etsy shops to put together a list of some of the best, homemade video game gifts. If you buy something now, you should be able to get it in time for February 14, 2010…

I’m not even a huge Zelda fan, but I know what I want, nay, need to get for Christmas. Etsy user YellerCrakka has created what may be the cutest, and most stylish, Legend of Zelda related piece of jewelry – the Bottled Fairly Necklace. This handmade accessory simple, yet elegant, and would make a perfect gift this holiday season for the Zelda fan in your life. Its the sort of accessory where only other fans of the series would be able understand its true significance.

For $15.00, you can get a handmade bottled fairy necklace of your own. The actual pendant portion is about the size of a nickel, as demonstrated by a picture on the product page, and features a tiny pink, purple, blue, gold, red, green, pink or teal colored Legend of Zelda fairy, complete with wings and glittery appearance, inside a sealed bottle.

I think the fact that YellerCrakka used a blue tinted glitter goo inside was a wonderful idea. As the artist states, this means that the charm may slowly shift back and forth inside the bottle, making it seem more “realistic”…

Being a sucker for video game related crafts, I was delighted when I came across Lost Mitten’s Etsy store, which is populated with various nifty items with video game icons on them. Its a nice place to stop and browse, or pick up a trinket for a video game loving friend. Plus, since Lost Mitten has sold 949 items and received 100% positive feedback, you know you’re buying from someone you can trust.

My personal favorites are the perler bead items. Lost Mitten has created coasters with Super Mario, Pac Man, Earth Bound Sonic, Bomberman and Zelda characters depicted on them. They’re reasonable as well, with notepads starting at $7, coasters at $12 and boxes at $14.
