Do you have a geek in your life? Someone who gets really excited about whatever Google or Yahoo might be doing, who has memorized the lines of all six Star Wars movies, and enjoys reading computer technical manuals? Then you need to read this Geek Shopping Guide - I'll show you what us geeks REALLY want.
This Star Wars light saber is probably Number One on any geek's shopping list. Features glowing blades with realistic power up and power down effects, four motion-sensored sound effects, and a custom designed display stand. This is a licensed collectible approved and endorsed by Lucasfilm Ltd., and probably not a good toy for the kiddies since-well, it kind of really WORKS. Excellent gift for the geek in your life, and what a great conservation piece! "Yes..that's my lightsaber..."
"Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler."
The movie "Office Space" is required watching for any geek worth his salt, and this red Swingline stapler should be on every geek's desk. Check out the fine lines, the way the stapler doesn't bind up, and the gorgeous architectural details...okay, it's just a stapler, but it's a stapler with some serious history, folks.
Arwen Evenstar gave this necklace to Aragorn as a token of her true love. Oh, and also gave up her immortality.
I want one! "Original 2 in 1 design with detachable mini hand phaser. Features authentic action lights and sound and adjustable power settings." Perfect for the geek who needs a phaser in his or her collection...and yes, I know how funny that sounds.
The X-Men trilogy comes from the classic X-Men comic story, with mutants vs. humans.
If you're tired of all those wires and cables underneath your feet as you play around on the 'puter, then you're going to want to get the PowerSquid. Offers five flexible grounded adapter-ready outlets, four foot power cord, and master switch. Plus, it's called the PowerSquid; I mean, how could you NOT love something called the "PowerSquid"?
Holy. Moly. I think Mr. Web Search just had some kind of seizure when he saw the Swiss Memory USB. "It perfectly pulls together four important tools that no geek should ever be without (USB flash drive, LED light, Swiss Army knife, ballpoint pen)." The USB drive is available in 1 GB, 512MB, or 256MB capacity, and comes with a USB cable. Perfect for a geeky stocking stuffer.
Want to make that boring iPod more user-friendly? Then you need iGuy, the "first bendable, posable friend for you and your iPod!" He's got bendable arms, a cute little tushy, and best of all, he's dockable: you can plug him and the iPod in while you charge up.
Every geek I've ever met lives on a steady diet of pizza, caffeine, ice cream, and did I mention the caffeine? And did I mention that it's a LOT of caffeine? The Caffeine Junkie mug will meet your geek need for caffeine in a big way; in fact, I wouldn't recommend that you give this out to children, and you probably want to dole it out in relatively small quantities, or you'll be up for a week with the shakes.
Do you know, I've actually caught myself saying this? And I've also caught myself talking in Internet acronyms - just the other day I was talking about my mother in law and I called her my MIL. Everyone just gave me a blank stare. Anyway, this "I'm Blogging This" t-shirt is sure to warm the heart of any blogger you know...and you should know quite a few, since there's a new blog almost every second now.
