Facepalming Picard bust, and other things to Trek your life
I've got quite a variety of Star Trek bits and pieces to liven up your home and office today, starting with the latest quirky bit of decor from Icon Heroes. Available now exclusively at ThinkGeek is the new Captain Picard facepalming bust, which is just the latest in an ever growing range of products capitalising on this popular meme!

More 50 Artists 50 Years art revealed, on mugs! Plus other new Trek drink-wear
Hope you're thirsty, as there is quite a variety of new Star Trek drinking vessels and bare-ware around. Continue below for new glasses, bottles, a decanter, and bottle opener. But first, mugs!
I pick mugs first because I believe this latest range of rather lovely artistic designs from Culturenik might well be revealing several pieces of art from the 50 Artists 50 Years exhibition. It has not been confirmed in any of the product descriptions, but we have seen one of the designs in previous previews for that 50th anniversary art collection, all the artists are involved in the collection, and it's hard to believe these have all been commissioned just for use on mugs!
My personal favourite is the glorious comic-book style collection of classic scenes from the original series, which is apparently titled Risk is Our Business!, by Mick Cassidy.

Trek your life: New salt and pepper shakes, coasters, mugs, and more
Need some more Trek in your life? Well Kirk, Spock, and co are ready to sprinkle Starfleet styling into your home with the latest creations from Westland Giftware, Vandor, and more. The parade of new Star Trek stuff continues after the jump below.
Westland Giftware have added several new items to their Star Trek collection. Typically new items listed in Wastland's catalogue show up a retailers several months later, so you should be able to get hold of these later in the year.
Joining their salt and pepper shaker collection will be Kirk and Spock, this time on transporter pads (perhaps you can sprinkle the salt to make the transporter shimmer).

Trekish ways to consume liquids, from Vandor
Entertainment Earth have added listings for several new items in Vandor's range of Star Trek of stuff. The new items are mostly drink related: There are sets of shot glasses and coasters, both featuring schematics of the TOS USS Enterprise and Romulan Bird of Prey:
There's also a new travel mug, also featuring Enterprise schematics:
Entertainment Earth also list some luggage tags; while they don't have an image for those yet, their description states they will also feature the Enterprise. They expect all these items to arrive in April.

Latest Star Trek stuff around the home
Several companies have revealed new Star Trek stuff to use at home, and when out and about. Coming soon to Westland Giftware's Star Trek range is their latest cookie jar, and I think their best one so far; based on the USS Enterprise, they've filled in the gaps between the nacelles to make a warp effect, so there's plenty of room for cookies within:
Also new from Westland is something they've not done before, wine stoppers. They are launching three different TOS designs, the USS Enterprise, Captain Kirk, and Mr Spock. Their website also has an an image of what I believe is a counter-top display unit they'll have for these in shops:
Finally from Westland, their latest Star Trek clock:
It's normally a few months before new stuff Westland display on their websites is available, so I'd expect these to be turning up towards the end of the year. Meanwhile, they aren't the only ones make Star Trek clocks, earlier in the year Underground Toys announced a pretty big range of watch and clock designs. Things From Another World are now listing a selection of these, expecting them to come in August. Their listings include better images than those previously released.
From the watches they are offering the USS Enterprise saucer design, the command uniform watch, and a Captain LCD watch (although they haven't posted an image of the latter yet):
They have two of the clocks, both bell alarms, either an Enterprise-D image as the face, of a TOS Starfleet delta:
They are also offering one of Underground Toys' float-pen designs, the USS Enterprise. I particularly like their description for this one, sounds like an especially terrible Gold Key comic:

From Underground Toys! The starship Enterprise has become trapped within the shaft of this floating pen!Finally, Vandor have added one new item to their Star Trek range as well, coming in August or September will be a ceramic travel mug, with the Starfleet delta on:

Latest Star Trek mobile bits
A couple of weeks ago StarTrek.com revealed a new range of accessories for mobile devices. They used digital mock-ups to show them off, but now Amazon have posted photos of the real things, and they look much more appealing! They are also, despite StarTrek.com's assertion that they would be UK exclusive, readily available on Amazon.com.
The biggest improvement from digital to real is the Starfleet delta USB stick, which is much thinner in the real world, and looks much better for it!
You can also get a much better idea of the functionality of the tablet bag, which has a shoulder strap as well as a hand hold. Here's the blue version, is also comes in yellow:
Not such a revelation in the design of the iphone case, but here they are to complete the set (they come in blue or yellow for iphone 5, but just yellow for iphone 4):
And here's a tenuous link: While you're out and about with your mobiles and tablets you might also find an extra portable water bottle handy too hmm? Well you're in luck, Vandor have added a collapsible water bottle to their Star Trek range. I use one of these (a Platypus one) pretty much every day; they're great because they squash into whichever bit of your bag you need it to, as opposed to solid bottles which are huge and in the way! And it's much more sustainable to use tap water (at least 1000 times less the carbon footprint than buying bottled water says How Bad Are Bananas?), so surely a good step to take towards a Star Trek like future!

Trek tat
If you like miscellaneous Star Trek stuff TrekMovie have been reporting on the many Trek branded things coming soon, in brief:
TrekMovie have high res images of the Funko Wacky-wobblers and QUOGS urban vinyl figures, including packaging shots. TrekMovie also report Funko will be releasing smaller scale wobbly headed figures called Nodniks, in two packs, starting with Kirk and a Gorn and Spock and a Klingon.
Elsewhere in the toys and games world TrekMovie have new imagery of Mattel's Scene It? and 20Q Star Trek games.
In general nick-knackery a company called Vandor is releasing all manner of metal Star Trek things, including tin boxes, lunchboxes, signs, magnets, business card holders and a tin box with a set of playing cards inside!
If you feel your life still isn’t sufficiently infused with star Trek you could also decorate your house with massive Star Trek stickers from RoomMates, who will be producing huge wall morals of the Enterprise bridge and sets of smaller sticks for general decoration.
And finally you can even make yourself smell Star Trek with TrekMovie's reveal of the packing of the forthcoming Star Trek perfumes, you could smell of Tiberius, Red Shirt or Ponn Farr!
