Awesome Gifts Ideas for Geeks

Geeks are perhaps the most discerning (read: charmingly difficult) of all the people on your holiday shopping list. They know what they like and they love it fiercely. They are loyal board-game fans who pre-order limited-edition releases months before they are released. You will be lovingly shamed by these video-game enthusiasts about your outdated console. Die-hard Star Wars fans will judge you for referring to "The Child" as Baby Yoda. That's for sure. The passions they hold are varied, and they're particular about them. There are people in our lives who are like this, and the surface fandom gifts (hello, Minecraft socks and Star Trek posters) aren't appropriate. Save yourself embarrassment by choosing one of these best gifts for geeks (many of which were selected by self-proclaimed nerds). If you find yourself desperately searching for Game of Thrones bobbleheads on Christmas Eve (don't do it! ), at least consider some of these universally-appealing last-minute gifts.
