Geek Gift Guide 2011: The Ultimate Geek Girl Gift Guide

Let’s face it, Guys.  We’re hard to shop for in normal situations.  But for the holidays?  When you’re busy playing Call of Duty, or following your favorite team on Sunday?  The last thing you have time for is to go to the mall and hunt for parking, then actually LOOK for something that she doesn’t already own.  Fear not, here’s a down and dirty list, complete with links, of tried and true (read: I did all the research for you) gifts for the Geek Girl in your life, so that you can avoid the mall altogether.  Read on…

 

For your Kawaii Geek Girl:  Black Cat Crocheted Headphones

Late to the Revolution takes fully functional headphones and converts them into cute black cat headphones that’ll go with everything else in her wardrobe.  Please note that these are made to order, so expect a few extra days of turnaround time when your order (mine took three days from order to ship time) and plan ahead!

 

For your Whimsical Geek Girl: A bag of lucky charms

No, not the cereal.  If the girl in your life likes trips to the fair, fanciful fabrics from the local quilt store, or the smell of drying linens in the afternoon sun, then this bag of lucky charms is the perfect gift, full of tiny trinkets that are sure to grant happiness on the merriest of holidays.

 

For your Artsy Geek Girl: Mini colored pencil set

She’s got so many other sets of colored pencils, you say.  But does she have one that can fit in her clutch?  Sleek and compact, this set of colored pencils can fit in the tiniest of purses, perfect for the artist in your life to take to any holiday gathering (napkins and other drawing canvasses optional), because you never know when inspiration will strike!

 

For your Chocoholic Geek Girl:  TCHO-a-day 30

It’s true, chocolate is good for you.  What better way to say “I care” than to supply your chocoholic with a 30, 60, or 90 day supply? The smart packaging will appeal to your Geek Girl’s sense of style while filling her belly with tasty American chocolate.   (This’ll appeal to your vegan, kosher, celiac, fair-trade or organic fangirl, too)

 

For Your Trendy Geek Girl: Sneaker Customization Kit

Is her binder a super-improved version of what it was in the stationery section at Target?  Does she have her own personal style?  Consider a sneaker customization kit, which will ensure that her sneakers will be like no one else’s.

 

For Your “I don’t wanna give up my books” Biblio-Geek Girl: Leather ipad case or Book kindle case

You know the one.  The one that refuses to transfer to e-books, the one who loves the feel, the smell of that book in her hand. Here’s the best of both worlds: Closed, it looks like a normal book, and thus reduces the potential for mugging on public transport (what thief in their right mind will steal a BOOK?) Open, it looks like the coolest I-pad or Kindle case around.  even the most resistant-to-e-books girl will want to tote one of these around.

 

 

For Your Japanophile Geek Girl:  Nekobus Rail Pass

Satisfy the Japanophile on your holiday gift list with the irony of a cat bus commuter pass holder–so cute and cuddly that you almost want to keep him in your house–and his smile is infectious!

 
 
For Your Hungry Geek girl: Bento Box
 
Form and function meet to make this sexy lunchbox the darling of the lunchroom–it’s food safe and microwave safe, with sturdy lids to keep that spaghetti sauce out of her work bag during transit!
 
 
 
 
For Your Traveller Geek Girl:  Mascara Toothbrush
 
Who wants to carry a lame plastic baggie with a toothbrush in their bag?  This sonic toothbrush is as compact as a mascara tube, in as many designs and colors as there are brands of mascara.  And don’t fret– the required AAA battery is free with your order, so no surprises on Christmas morning!
 
 
 
 
 
For arguments with your Geek Girl: Tiebreakers
 
All things being fair, who can afford to pay for a mediator in the room when you’re having a big fight over who has to put up the tree?  Just break out these tiebreakers from Set Editions, where a flip of these wooden coins will settle the score.
 
 
 
For your DIY or Retro geek Girl: DIY Typewriter
 
Whether or not you’ve got someone who likes to build their own, or if you want one pre-made, these kits convert any typewriter into an old-school, fully functioning, USB keyboard for your ipad, PC, or Mac.  If you don’t have an old-school typewriter to convert, you can buy one pre-made for you (this ups the cool factor) but be willing to pay the price…
 
 
And there you have it, the tools you need to satisfy your Holiday Gift List for every girl you know who reads this site!  Stay tuned to Comics Online for everything geek pop culture!
