[tps_header]‘Tis The Season of the Geek[/tps_header]

There is a common misconception among people, and it’s that geek are complicated people to shop for. Complex, maybe, but never complicated. As a geek, I know first hand how my loved ones think I’m hard to shop for, but I’m a guy of simple needs. If you have a loved one who you need to shop for, but aren’t sure exactly what to get them I’m set up a short list of sure-fire geek pleasers.

(*Keep in mind, you need to at least know keywords as to what they like, such as the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, Marvel and DC, etc. Chances are it only takes one look in their room to know which they like*)
