The holidays are a fun and joyous time, but they can also bring out the dark side in some people. Have you seen some of those Black Friday videos? I can say I have gone out shopping on Black Friday but not when the stores open. So, this year I wanted to do something out of this galaxy. Something that gave me more time at home with my family while still allowing me to get my holiday shopping done. I chose to ignore the dark side of Black Friday shopping and I chose the path of patience andordered my family their own Playmate® cooler inspired by a galaxy far, far away. This post is in partnership with Igloo.

Our entire family are huge Star Wars fans and the moment I saw the star Wars x Igloo collection, I knew the Playmate cooler would be the way to go. Not only is this cooler a great way to gift a piece of Star Wars, but I realized it would be an excellent way to share all their other gifts. The cooler is an ideal size to fill with all the other items I am gifting to that individual. The cooler creates a unique customized gift box thanks to the amazing Star Wars art. With a wide variety of designs to choose from, trust in the force and it will help you in selecting the right design for your family or friend.

As I shared above, this galactic gear is decorated in original Star Wars art and you can take it home with you today! I decided on the Star Wars Playmate Mini R2D2 4 Qt Cooler. R2D2 is one of my favorite characters in the entire Star Wars galaxy. His ability to show you exactly how he is feeling without saying a word is so powerful. I wish I had that ability. Plus, did you know the R2D2 and C3PO are the only two characters who have appeared in all 9 Star Wars films? The moment you see that blue and silver boxing you know exactly who your Playmate cooler is designed after. From R2D2 and C3PO and more, there is a design to fit the Star Wars fan in your life. With available sizes from Playmate Mini coolers (4 qt) to the Playmate Classic size (14 qt) and the Playmate Elite (16 qt) you will be able to find the right size for your needs.

Use the force to order your family and friends playmate coolers. Thanks to Star Wars inspired Playmate coolers I am able to relax and enjoy hosting lightsaber battles in my living room this holiday season. Remember… the Force will be with you, always. Grab your very own Star Wars Playmate® cooler and take it with you wherever you go in your galaxy. Together, we can rule the galaxy. This post is in partnership with Igloo.
