ThinkGeek has a set of plates designed by Leah Yael Levy that feature a planet from our solar system on each plate. The Planetary Plates are 10″ in diameter.

Although I stayed up until 3:00am ET to pre-order my iPhone 6 Plus from Verizon and got my order in within 8 minutes, I still was horrified to see that I could expect my new phone on October 14 instead of September 19! I got lucky and received my 6 Plus earlier than expected, and
