1. Squid Game x Pet Portraits

Turn your pet into a Squid Game character - because, why not? (purrandmutt.com)

Ever wondered what your cat would look like taking part in Red Light Green Light? Us neither - but thanks to Purr & Mutt, you can now transform your pet into real Squid Game characters.

The online art brand lets you upload pics of your furry friends and turns them into portraits of either Player 218 or The Guard. Their designs are printed using high fidelity inks on gallery quality canvas stretched over a 1.75" thick wooden frame.

You can grab your own Squid Game pet portrait from £18.99 - and get it delivered to your door.

2. Creepy alarm clock

There's probably nothing more disturbing than being woken up by the creepy-looking doll from Squid Game, but if that's what you're into - you're in luck.

Plenty of online retailers are selling a miniature version of the doll that doubles as an alarm. When it's time to wake up, the show's theme music will play. Then, the doll's head will open and turn to your before shooting you in the head.

Don't worry, it's just a foam pellet, and while it won't actually hurt you - it will definitely wake you from the deepest of sleeps.

3. Dalgona cutters

Do you think you could carve the pattern without breaking the candy? (aliexpress.com)

The third episode of Squid Game featured one of the most nail-biting scenes, as contestants desperately tried to cut shapes out of a Korean treat called Dalgona. But, if any players broke the circle candy, they were eliminated.

If you think you have a steady hand and the skills to ace the task while racing against the clock - you can try it out for yourself with these Dalgona cutters.

The candy itself is simple to make - only requiring two ingredients: sugar and baking soda. If you fail, don't worry, just enjoy the delicious treat and tell nobody..

4. Squid Game costumes

Every fancy dress party should be Squid Game themed, right? (Netflix)

Whether you're going to a fancy dress party or think you'll look really good in a green track suit, there's plenty of Squid Game costumes to choose from online.

The only question is - do you want to transform into the contestants, the guards, or the boss himself?

Just FYI, it's probably best to not wear this out to the pub though, you might get some dirty looks...

5. Squid Game mug

The creepy doll is enough to silence anyone... (banterking.com)

Getting a good night's sleep in Squid Game is nearly impossible. You have to constantly be alert and on the look out for any traitors who want to play dirty.

So if you're feeling a little fatigued, and that annoying co-worker or family member won't stop talking to you - this mug is the perfect purchase.

It features the creepy doll (of course) and is emblazoned with the text: "Talk to me and you will be eliminated" - allowing you to have your morning coffee in peace.
