The Ides Of March, Veep, Too Big To Fail, and more (free with a Prime subscription)

Amazon is having a sale on various election-themed movies and TV shows, just in case this year’s presidential race didn’t seem fictional enough for you. All of these movies and TV shows are also viewable with a 30-day Prime trial.

Converse Chuck Taylors ($27.43 and up)

Chuck Taylors are still on sale on Amazon. Why not buy two pairs? You know you’ll wear them.

“Snoopy For President” tote bag ($14.95)

He’s probably more qualified than Donald Trump.

6-pack of men’s striped socks ($15.00)

Stop wearing gross socks. You’re an adult.

Star Trek jewelry (from $11.83)

Amazon has a whole page dedicated to licensed Star Trek jewelry, some of which is actually pretty cute.

GlowBrite laser light show with remote ($39.99)

There were reports last holiday season that these were so popular that people were stealing them out of each other’s yards. In other words, buy yours now.

Derwent Graphik line maker drawing pens, 6-pack ($16.17)

These aren’t Nick Wanserski’s chosen sketching pencils, but they still have pretty good reviews.

Shrinky Dinks ($7.46)

Yes, they still make Shrinky Dinks.

Glass cube terrarium or candleholder ($12.99)

Combine this with a book about terrariums and you should be good to go on a fun weekend project.
