Tentacle ring, cast from an actual octopus tentacle. There is some amazing octopus and tentacle inspired jewelry out there, ranging from the penny-arcade variety to serious precious metals. I’ve linked to a bunch on todayintentacles.blogspot.com and Etsy.com of course, has tons. Browse and enjoy.
Tentacle cookies. I tried searching “Tentatcle Turkey.” Close enough, right? Both are edible (theoretically).
Zak Smith’s 100 Girls and 100 Octopuses, 2005. On Show at the Fredericks and Freiser Gallery. The octopus, not the devil, is in the details in this fabulous work of art.

USB Octopus cover, from Etsy.com - a very tentacle-friendly marketplace of independent artists and craftmakers.
