Let the gift guide officially begin. As the holiday season clutches it's grinch-like grip upon us I'll be highlighting some toys for good girls & boys in the form of local and indie designers. First up, for the Star Wars fan with wit:

Oddica t-shirts have these sweet designs as well as dozens others. Done up by local designers on American Apparel shirts and hoodies they often employ vintage screen printing methods. And the price is right at $15 for t-shirt and $38 for a hoodie.

Oddica has a unique profit-sharing model for the artists, so you won't see any screenprinters getting ripped off and exploited to Hot Topic. Along with Thinkspace, they're holding a gallery of the shirts this weekend. See the designs up close and personal or buy online.
