Now, I’m no expert on Space Invaders, but don’t they usually attack your home, rather than welcome other people to it? I guess I didn’t play the game enough, so maybe I’m wrong about that…

Regardless, this welcome mat has a row of flickering aliens that light up as your friends (or mailman) approach your front stoop. The mat runs on four AAA batteries, and is guaranteed to inform everybody of how nerdy you are before they’ve even entered your action figure decked out apartment.
