Christmas is chaotic. Finding gifts for every person in your family, including that one cousin you got in the Secret Santa draw, can be mind numbing and difficult. But that’s what gift guides are for. The more specific the better, and they don’t come more specific than this.
Here are our top picks for finding the best gift for the Star Wars fan in your life.
R2-Q5 App-Enabled Droid
Nerdy kids love getting technology and geeky stuff for Christmas, so why not combine the two and get them a cool new companion. This little droid can dance, chase your pets and watch you sleep at night.
He has a bit of a personality too, which makes sense as he is a Imperial droid, and has some choice beeps to retort in conversation. Fill that hole on your heart with an evil minion all of your own with the R2-Q5 App-Enabled Droid.

Star Wars Coffee Press R2D2 Limited Edition 4 Cup
For the coffee lovers who are capable of ingesting an entire pot of coffee in one sitting, then this is for you.

Personally I think decking out your kitchen in nerdy gear is a perfectly normal adult choice to make.
