Is there an emoticon that represents hyperbole? If not, there should be. Anyway, we made a big guide to geek gift-buying (to supplement your DIY geek gift making)! It took forever, so we hope you like it and find something new and fun to get your nerdy loved ones/self.
We have a couple more specific gift guides coming up, but wanted to start with this much-encompassing list. We broke it down into a few categories…
Board games!
We love board games as gifts, and some of these can help make your own fandom (D&D anyone?) more accessible to your family/non-geek friends, by blending in classic games like CLUE and Yahtzee.
Geek Out geek trivia game (a new favorite of ours)
Doctor Who Yahtzee
Dungeons & Dragons CLUE. It was the Rogue, in the dungeon, with a vorpal sword.
Tetris, Connect-4-style
Super Mario Chess
Batman Strategy Game
Star Wars Mad Libs (we get this as stocking stuffers for friends every year)
Super Mario Bros playing Cards
Jewelry.
Because, obviously.
Legend of Zelda necklace
Star Wars Lightsaber earrings
Star Trek communicator badge/pin
Gas Mask Necklace (for Borderlands AND Doctor Who)
How awesome is this Neverending Story Auryn necklace??
Batman ring (currently out of stock)
Geeky Home Gifts.

Ice Cube Trays.
What a strangely specific gift category. But ice cube trays DO make great affordable little geeky gifts.

Portal Companion Cube ice cube tray

Doctor Who ice cube tray
Space Invaders… you guessed it… an ice cube tray!

“I can’t believe this isn’t a real Nintendo controller” soap

Pacman stapler
Han Solo in Carbonite business card holder
Literary Kindle Fire covers
Geek Baby Gifts!
Because how cute would a baby be as a tiny Portal companion cube?
Star Wars ABC’s book
Doctor Who Onesie (first word will be “Allons-y”. …Or “I am so sorry”)
Baby’s First Dice Game
Portal Companion Cube Onesie
Legend of Zelda Link Onesie
Geeky T-Shirts.
Space Invaders t-shirt (currently out of stock)
Heisenberg Breaking Bad shirt
Legend of Zelda t-shirt

Socks?
Everyone has someone who gives them socks for the holidays, right? Now that person can be you. But at least you give cool nerd socks.
Marvel sock pack
“Spocks“. Best sock name ever?
Comic book socks
DC sock pack (let the DC vs Marvel battle duke it out in your sock drawer)
Marvel socks 2-Pack
More.
Because we didn’t want an entire category dedicated to toothbrushes.
Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver toothbrush
Chocolate D&D dice
This is a wallet with flying bears shooting eyeball laser beams. You heard me.
Star Wars Lightsaber toothbrush
Not for the kids: A Batman batarang pocket knife. Want.
Legend of Zelda ocarina. Cross-geek and learn to play the Doctor Who theme.
Even more.
Because a holiday geek gift guide is NOT complete without a chestburster.
Legend of Zelda Armwarmers (currently unavailable)
Alien Chestburster plush. Look how cuddly it is.
Portal cookie cutters
And finally…. Borderlands 2 Loot Chest (I… speechless… need)

December 7, 2013 at 5:23 pmEverything in your Etsy shop is so awesome, Katie! We had a hard time choosing between the Doctor, Trekkie, and Harry Potter onesies for this list. Geek parents = best parents.
