If you’re like me ThinkGeek is one of the first places you go to create a holiday gift list for yourself and find those one of a kind gifts for the nerd or geek on your list. Whether you’re into old school retro gaming, Doctor Who, Star Trek, cool t-shirts or the latest gadgetry ThinkGeek needs to be bookmarked under holiday shopping.
While many of the items they sell at ThinkGeek may make it to your local mall’s Spencer’s or the cool toy section at Books-A-Million,they’re usually at ThinkGeek first.
This year, if you’re plum out of ideas or not the most creative tool in the room ThinkGeek has compiled an easy guide to this holiday season. Take a look at the items they recommend below and of course there are thousands more at thinkgeek.com but I’ll give you fair warning once you click that link your workflow is interrupted for the rest of the day.
