# Time Machine Spatulas These Tardis-Inspired Doctor Who Accessories are Perfect for Foodie Whovians By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-07-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doctor-who-accessories References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/cooking-tools/the-doctor-who-tardis-spatula-is-flippin-great/) & [urban-collector](http://www.urban-collector.com/doctor-who-tardis-spatula-aug142530.html) If you were looking for Doctor Who accessories for the kitchen, this nifty Tardis spatula will do the trick. While it won't be able to transport the food you're cooking back or forward in time if you make a mistake or feel impatient, it can make cooking so much fun that time will fly by. The silicon spatula has an 11 inch metal handle and is available from Urban Toys. As far as must have Doctor Who accessories go, this definitely counts for foodie Whovians. The utensil is shaped just like the blue police public call boxes used for time travel in the long-running BBC television program. The skinny spatula is great for the preparation of a variety of foods at any point in time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Doctor Who Kitchen Accessories:** Opportunity for retailers to tap into the niche market of Doctor Who fans who also enjoy cooking. - **Themed Silicon Spatulas:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to create a line of themed spatulas that cater to different fandoms. - **Novelty Cooking Utensils:** Potential for novelty gift companies to develop unique and fun cooking utensils that appeal to food enthusiasts and pop culture fans alike. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the growing market for pop culture merchandise by offering a wide range of niche-themed products. - **Kitchenware Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can innovate by creating themed silicon spatulas and other novelty cooking utensils to cater to the changing consumer preferences. - **Novelty Gifts:** Opportunity for novelty gift companies to expand their product offerings with unique and themed cooking utensils that make perfect gifts for food enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sicily-Themed Spatula Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sicily-orange.md) - [Collab Kitchen Tools Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-x-williams-sonoma.md) - [Sleek Seafood Prep Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-turner.md) - [Cookware-Encapsulating Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splatterdm.md) - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Handsfree Kitchen Character Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timer-bob.md) - [Versatile Kitchen Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-multitools.md) - [Revolutionary Splatter Guards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adjustable-stovetop-splatter-guard.md) - [Multi-Color Kitchen Tongs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multicolor-kitchen-tongs.md)
