Try to find them something they don’t already have – but don’t pull your hair out over it. Your friend probably already has a Spiderman lunchbox, or socks, or plates – you know their level of interest best. Finally, it needs to be a little out-of-the-box.Those are things that don’t get looked at often, though they do collect value over time. Like our example of the plant water moisture checker, you want to get them something that isn’t (necessarily) in the collectibles category. If they’re obsessed with Spiderman, don’t get them something Superman-themed. Related to the thing they nerd out over (duh).You want to make sure your geek gift is three things: It’s still plant themed, and it won’t sit collecting dust on a shelf. Get them something that will help them foster their plants – like a Verdmo Wireless Soil Moisture Sensor. They probably don’t need another shirt with plants on it, but you can’t find a plant they don’t already own. From the initial sketching of the design, choosing the perfect acrylics, before laser. Let’s say your friend is a gardening-geek. Each of my designs are made from scratch here at Booknerdfangirl HQ. You want to find things that are useful in daily life, but that play to their specific obsession. If you want to get them something along those lines – shop at a geek-friendly retailer. Or French history, or tech – it doesn’t have to be in the science subculture to be geeky! What Kind of Gifts Do Nerds Like?Īgain, we come back to the idea that being a nerd or a geek means something different to each person. Most people use that to mean they get excited over something other people don’t find riveting, such as … the specific models of ships in Star Wars. We love geeks (and we self-identify as them) but more than that, we’ve created an entire business around them.įinally, let’s look at the verb version, which is to “geek out”. For example you could say we’re geek-geeks.
Some other people would define a geek just by the amount of energy they expend on a certain topic. Knowing all the comics, having merch that exceeds the one or two things someone else might have and spending time collecting more merch and knowledge would. But just liking Spiderman doesn’t make you a geek. And there are adults who like the web-slinging superhero as well. If we were to define it in a general way, we’d say a geek is someone who has an above-average interest in something that’s outside of mainstream culture or is a specific subculture.įor example you can like Spiderman, like thousands of kids do around the world. Each person has their own definition of the word “geek”.
