So you think you can geek? Not like this next giftee. There’s probably someone in your office/life/family/friend circle who is way into geeky gadgets and toys. Here’s where you can find something for them.
Every geek is different. Presumably, if you’re buying something for a close friend or family member, you have a vague idea of what they’re into. Rather than tell you what to buy them, we’re going to tell you where you can buy cool, geeky stuff.
ThinkGeek
ThinkGeek is the place to be for geeky toys and apparel. They have everything from Doctor Who gear, through to sweet Firefly merch. They also do gift cards if you’re stumped.

This Is Why I’m Broke
This Is Why I’m Broke does exactly what it says on the tin: it drives geeks who love toys, gadgets and apparel completely bankrupt. Rather than be a bespoke store in itself, This Is Why I’m Broke is a product aggregator, so it links you out to a bunch of different, excellent stores you can enjoy.

Japan Trend Shop
Sometimes, a traditional Western gift just won’t do if your giftee loves something quirky and fun. That’s where Japan Trend Shop comes in. If you’ve ever seen a crazy Japanese product, it’s probably being sold through the Japan Trend Shop. For example, why not try a Snack Hunter or Nose Lifter?
