If you’re into road-tripping and keeping food cool and groovy, then the VW Fridge should be parked in your kitchen.
Brought to us by European appliance giant, Gorenje, and Volkswagen themselves — the retro fridge is made to resemble a 50s/60s-era VW Microbus, while shaped like a vintage refrigerator.
No worries, there’s a matching toaster if you need to accessorize.

Move the kids’ drawings and schoolwork off the fridge. It’s time for those who grew up with one-color unlit game screens to enjoy the refrigerator’s exterior for once.
FreezerBoy, a set of six magnets, is the refrigerator art that’ll help us feel nostalgic while reducing all that clutter. The large magnets fit easily on any fridge, and can be removed anytime — just in case you’d like to play the washing machine, or any other metallic surface.
Then you’ll just have to explain to the kids why they can’t have their schoolwork on the fridge… if they can look away from their iPads for just a minute.

When he’s not helping to save a universe or projecting holograms of pretty princesses, R2-D2 can make a handy drink servant… Just ask Jabba.
The R2-D2 Mini-Fridge is not only an exact replica of our favorite little droid, but it’s a fully-functional drink cooler/robot slave.
But wait, there’s more… Just like the real thing, the droid fridge will bring your drinks to you via remote control — so there’s no need to move. Just like Jabba.
It’s not for sale yet, but check it out.

We were once teased with a fake Han Solo in carbonite refrigerator, and we’ve pined for its existence ever since.
Now, even though it’s a bit smaller, the Han Solo in Carbonite Refrigerator now exists. The mini-fridge depicts Jabba The Hutt’s favorite trophy, and will hold up to 18 cans of your favorite beverage.
Perfect for a Star Wars fan with a small apartment, or if you need to keep a few beverages cool in your evil lair (office cubicle). Check it out here.

If your current mini-fridge has you puzzled, the Rubik’s Cube Fridge is here to help.
Designed to look like the multi-colored cube that haunted your nightmares back in the 80s, this oversized Rubik’s will keep any food or drinks cool.
Although, the Rubik’s fridge comes mixed up. So, you’ll need to remove the square stickers to solve it, just like you used to. Then keep the whole nostalgia-thing going and stock it with wine coolers.
