Handmade Pac-Man Character Wine Charm Set from Etsy

Pac-Man Wine Charms: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

March 2, 2009

Pac-Man updated to drinking age! These handmade Pac-Man Wine Charms use characters from the vintage arcade game to make markers for wine glass stems, which is mucho helpful during a party.

For $12 you get a set of six of these charms, and the ultimate compromise in growing up (or, well, growing older). Old vice, meet new vice.

What do you think of these? Classy enough for a wine party, or too childish for your taste?

Dude! These would totally make the coolest keychains, or bracelet, like EVER.

hahaha! I guess I should clarify two things. It's not a jelly jar with a screw lid type of glass. It's just an old school small glass that for whatever reason were classified as jelly jars (mine happens to have a funny little fruit design on them). Secondly, the baby is in bed by the time mom gets her wine. You wouldn't want the little dear to spill it on the macbook pro would you? ;-)

Finally, some non-lame wine charms! Macgirl, I can *almost* see you glugging red wine out of a jar in front of your Mac with a kid in your lap. Priceless. :-)

I love these, but I don't drink wine, haha. I'm almost tempted to pick up a set to use as stitch markers for knitting....I'd just have to use them for the REALLY big needles or else they'd get tangled in my knitting :)

Ack at first I thought they were dangling earrings or something. Uh, yeah. But still, geeky chic no doubt! I'd buy one of these!

I'm not sure how many geeky wine connoisseurs are out there... but go ahead, prove me wrong!

I think they are cute, but as a geek I know the dangers of top heavy wine glasses and computers/gadgets/games. So stemless glasses or jelly jars for me.

These are adorable and I could totally see using them for a gathering since my husband and his friends are all at the age where they use to play pacman all the time. We even have a "vintage" table top pac-man game. LOL
