Know someone who collects books, hoards video games, or obsessively watches superhero movies? Then you got yourself a geek. Whether it’s their awkward charm or uncanny ability to quote TV shows, you know you love your geek, and what better way to show your love than through a geeky gift?
A quick search on the internet will show endless gift ideas, but what does your geek actually want? That figurine that’ll get lost behind his clutter of books and gaming cards? That random pop culture novelty that she’ll never use? Probably not. Instead of listing those fun-but-useless items, what I’ve listed in this post are gifts that’ll appeal to your nerd’s geeky heart AND be practical for day-to-day use.
PacMan Ghost Light
Who says geeks don’t like to party? With this PacMan Ghost Light, your geek can enjoy gradual phases of colorful light OR select party mode and have colorful lights flash to the beat of their music. Although your geek’s playlist might consist of movie soundtracks and gaming theme songs, this gift will delight them and allow their inner geek to shine bright. Party on, nerd.
Harry Potter Wand Pen
We all know that your geek is still waiting for their Hogwarts acceptance letter. You might not have that, but you can at least give them their own wand in the meantime with this Harry Potter Wand Pen. They can swish and flick away, conjuring spells to their heart’s content, and then they can write a note while they’re at it. Nifty, huh?
Super Mario Heat Change Mug
As if having Mario on a mug wasn’t enough, watch as your nerd totally geeks out when this Super Mario Heat Change Mug transforms with a hot drink. You’ll see Mario’s red silhouette become a Mushroom Kingdom scene before your eyes. It’s seriously the coolest thing and a real “level up” kind of gift that’ll satisfy your geek’s thirst for Nintendo merch and their actual thirst for a drink.
Hyrule Notebook
Don’t tri and force a gift when you can get this Triforce notebook! Bad puns aside, this notebook is a pretty sleek item that any Zelda fan will treasure. It features the Triforce symbol and a Hyrule map on the inside front and back pages. What’s not to love? Added bonus: they don’t need to break pots or open chests for this item, they can just undo your pretty wrapping.
Batman Multitool
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na Batman! Play that theme song as you present this Batman Multitool and you’ll be your geek’s hero. I would say favorite hero, but we all know that Batman fills that spot. Featuring the logo of DC vigilante hero Batman, this multitool not only looks cool but is also useful. It functions as a keychain and a bat-shaped bottle opener with a crosshead and flathead screwdriver in the wings.
Call of Duty Skull Glass
If you’re looking for something geeky but still edgy and cool, then you should consider this Call of Duty Skull Glass. Featuring the iconic skull that represents the popular game series, this item will become your gamer’s next favorite drinking glass. It’s the perfect item for your geek to toast another successful gaming campaign with.
How to Train Your Dragon Toothless Pillow Pet
Let me shoot some titles at you, rapid-fire: Lord of the Rings, Eragon, Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon… You think the geeks might like their dragons? Of course they do, which makes this Toothless dragon Pillow Pet a perfect gift for any geek. They can use this item as a pillow or as a cool plush to show off at their next Dungeons and Dragons session.
Assassin’s Creed Travel Mug
Encourage your geek not to walk around town wearing a full Assassins Creed costume like they want to and instead give them this travel mug with an Assassin’s Creed gauntlet design on it. Maybe it’s not quite the same as wearing gauntlets, but at least it’ll keep their drink warm and their street cred intact.
Rick and Morty Coasters
What’s a list of geeky gifts without a sci-fi item? And not just sci-fi, but an item from an animated sci-fi show? Talk about geeky! I present to you Rick and Morty Coasters. With a swirling green portal background and beloved animated characters on them, these coasters will be a real crowd pleaser.
Wonder Woman Light
Add some WOW! BANG! BOOM! KAPOW! or whatever those comic book effects are to your gift giving with this Wonder Woman Light. Really, she is a wow-inducing icon as an Amazon demigod princess who fights for justice and equality. As a light, this heroine is the perfect way for your geek to brighten their space and stay up late reading their favorite comic book.
