Find your geek
something to add to a collection.
Although there are no geeks that are the exact same, there are certain things that tech geeks have in common. You do not have to spend a ton of money on a gift for the geek in your life. These people are usually easily amused and like things that are out of the ordinary. Geeks thrive on using the powers of the mind, and often gravitate towards things that fascinate them the most like science, puzzles, and mysterious beings with super-powers. Indulge your geek with a gift that stimulates the mind and you cannot go wrong.
The Collector's Edition
Find out if your geek collects. Many geeks pride themselves on creating an optimum work environment. Things can get very tedious when you are programming and tinkering all day, so geeks may surround themselves with "fun" in their home office or work space. Carefully observe their work space and see if you can find action figures, superheroes or movie characters displayed. Make a mental note of some characters that may be missing. You can easily find an action figure at a local comic book shop or toy store. Grab a few comic books, to sweeten the deal. This way your geek can take a mini-break, and escape into another world if he gets stuck on something at work.
Watch This
Choose a watch with multiple functions. Many tech geeks may already have a watch, but geeks love new gadgets, and one you can wear is even better. The more functions of the watch the more "cool-points" you will rack up with your geek. Many tech geeks want to "one up" their tech-geek friends with the newest and coolest gadgets. You can give your geek a cool edge over his friends, and he will love you for it.
Gamer Geeks
Find out how your geek likes to blow off steam. Many geeks indulge in the art of "gaming." Whether it is console or computer games, you can not go wrong getting your geek an accessory to go along with their gaming system. Opt for a wireless controller for console games. Many geeks like to play games together so having an extra controller will be greatly appreciated. Geeks need fuel, so rechargeable battery packs, docking stations, or gift cards that will allow your geek to "level up" on a computer game are all perfect gifts for tech geeks.
Geek Chic
Find a quirky cool T-shirt that has an iconic video game, movie, quirky writing or original graphic on a black background. Opt for vintage clothes and you are sure to impress your geek. Do not go into a department store in the mall to shop for your geek; this simply will not do. Go online or to a tiny little specialty or novelty shop to find a T-shirt no other geek has. Be sure it has a black background, because it will not get as dirty while they work and play.
