Nerdy Gifts

Nerds. You know them, you love them, you may be one. When a birthday or a holiday rolls around, you may wonder to yourself, what can I get him/her this year? Wonder no more, I've recently discovered some pretty awesome stuff that any nerd, myself included, would just love to get their hands on.

Cat Paper Clips, for example. Not only do they have cats on them, but they are paperclips. It's simply the perfect gift for those who can relate to Angela from The Office.

The Juice Bar Portable Solar Charger is a fine choice for the eco-friendly nerd on the go. My boyfriend bought a solar charger a while ago, and it's perfect for those moments when your Nintendo DS or your cellphone are low on battery and there's no socket in sight. The one he has is just about the same size as a regular non-flipping cellphone, which makes it easier to carry around with you.

For those of you who lock themselves out of their house every so often, I encourage you to take a look at this interesting Sprinkler Hide-A-Key. Not only is it discrete, but it's very clever and I don't think many people would think to pull up your sprinkler, unless they were being a complete jerk.

Ah, Oregon Trail. I remember sitting down in the hallway computer center at my elementary school and immediately logging onto that game. Not only was it educational, but hell, it was one of the most fun games a kid could play at the time, aside from Sim City. Enter the Oregon Trail T-shirt. Yessss.

Winter is on its way, and we all know that means the temperature is beginning to drop. Time for your nerd to cuddle up on the couch in his or her Snuggie and watch a few movies. But why settle for a Snuggie when your geek could be sleeping in the belly of something far, far nerdier? Maybe it's time for the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag. Whoever thought this up deserves the highest of props--it's adorable, and I'm willing to bet that it doesn't smell anything as bad as the one in the movie did.

There are just so many awesome things out there that would be better than a pair of socks or a new tie. Well, maybe unless it looked something like this. But anything less deserves a slap on the wrist. Nerds these days are everywhere, and you gotta show how much you love and care for them, because they're the ones fixing your cable and helping you set up your email. So spoil 'em. I love nerds.
