42 Pendant Necklace

Simple enough to wear every day, this subtle homage to The Answer by PicaPicaPress will go with your whole wardrobe and could even be worn to work or formal events. There's alsoa silver version if that's more your color.

Babel Fish Cross Stitch Pattern

This cross stitch pattern by pixystitches shows a "page" from the book itself, detailing the wondrous Babel Fish - itself infamous for disproving the existence of God by proving that He exists. The text cuts off at the bottom of the pattern as it would on the book's screen but if you wanted to carry on and stitch more, the original quote is easily found online.

Don't Panic Necklace

We're on the 19th floor, and some of us have a most spectacular view of Times Square. Not me, for the record. Not complaining — I gave up a window for more space and a door, which is always an upgrade.

The most useful phrase you will hear anywhere in the galaxy, and now you can keep it around your neck to remind yourself of how to react in all situations thanks to this beautiful silver necklace by StarbrightSilver.
"You Guys are So Unhip" Poster

I can think of so many places I would like to hang this poster by Chatty Nora.

__ "Thanks" Cross Stitch Pattern __

This cross stitch pattern by pickleladyfarm would make a fantastic thank you card. Although the example is rainbow coloured, the fish could be changed to suit any colour scheme. I think I might just make this for my bathroom and frame it alongside therubber duck design by pixystitches.

__ Don't Panic Onesie__

Personally, I think "Don't Panic" is the best possible advice a parent can receive when faced with a crying baby sothis onesie by SugarBabyLove is probably the most helpful gift you can give a new parent.

"Got Janx Spirit?" Keychain

In a quality control room, galley pages from a number of Condé Nast magazines are scrutinized under carefully calibrated lamps.

As immortalized in that ancient Orion mining song:

Oh don't give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit.
No, don't you give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit.
For my head will fly, my tongue will lie, my eyes will fry and I may die.
Won't you pour me one more of that sinful Old Janx Spirit.

Beware of flashing thiskeychain by Creative Etching in any space ports you may visit, lest someone consider it a challenge to an Old Janx Spirit drinking game.
