It’s that time of year again. Black Friday, a blur of a weekend, Cyber Monday, Booze Tuesday, Humpday, Late Thanksgiving, then soon you’re smacked with Christmas or Festivus, or whatever holiday you celebrate. Don’t procrastinate again this year and end up giving yet another handle of some pre-mixed libation and a bargain rack DVD cause that’s all that was available at 11pm on Christmas Eve. You know your geek dude needs some special love, and while we can’t help you with that, we can give you some solid advice on what kinda geek swag he’s sure to appreciate. Here are five sure winners…

Nanodots

Magnets, how do they work? Turns out that when used as sculpting toys, it doesn’t much matter. What does matter is that even to supposed grownups, they are amazingly fun. I took a set in to the office, and immediately all productivity ceased for at least half an hour because everyone wanted to play with them. Fast forward a year, and our office now holds a couple thousand Nanodots. Yep, they are just that addictive, especially to the ADHD set. You’re welcome.

Star Wars: Han Solo in Carbonite Silicon Tray

Is your Star Wars geek a lovable rogue with a heart of gold? Is your Star Wars geek a guy who prefers drinks that are cold? Done and done. You can freeze scoundrel-shaped ice for any or every occasion. Also makes Jello Jigglers or chocolates.

Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter	Star Trek 6oz Stainless Steel Hip Flask

Does your Trek geek love pizza and booze? (If so, your geek might be Dune Murderous) Set his replicator to yum with some Enterprise-themed hardware sure to drop-kick his hunger and photon torpedo his thirst.

Nerf N-Strike Maverick

Geeks love Nerf guns; we know this. This Holiday season, arm your geek with some Nerf gun fun. There are a lot to choose from, but this one’s not too big and not too small. It’s a perfect holdout weapon for a quick pickup game.

Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter	Air Swimmer Remote Control Inflatable Flying Shark

Is your geek into remote control flying things? Of course he is. Such things are way less expensive these days, so lucky you! Now your only concern is which do you get him? Helicopter? Flying shark? Both? Both. Also: FLYING. SHARK. #MadeOfWin
