Gift Ideas for Geeks and Nerds

This is my husband's favorite item on the list this year. He now can proudly say he is Laird Larry! He actually has his title certificate framed by his office door alongside his "Lars Lair" sign. Let's just say, geeks, are who we are.

This holiday season, look no further than Highland Titles/Celtic Titles – the world’s leading innovators in land preservation offering everlasting gifts of Scottish and Irish titles, including Laird, Lord, or Lady, in exchange for souvenir plots of land in Scotland and Ireland.

Using a creative approach to land conservation by granting legal use of Scottish/Irish titles, these eco-friendly gifts give back to Mother Earth by funding the rescuing of woodlands, tree planting, land maintenance, and acquisition – ensuring it cannot be purchased or developed. Plots range from 1-1,000 square feet and are available for purchase starting at just $45.

For the Rubick's Cube expert, this is a fun new choice that is smartphone connected. While I haven't tried this, I saw it shared by a friend and knew it had to be added to the list. Too many good ideas

Every geek runs on caffeine, and coffee is at the top of the list! The Hot Mug has a patented induction heating tech that holds your beverage at 130°F.

It is a 12-ounce black or white coffee mug with an induction heating base (10w) that is perfect for those mornings you get distracted and your coffee would normally go cold. Instead, you can keep it on the Hot Mug base, and every time you come back it will be piping hot just like it was originally!

It heats your mug without making the base hot to the touch!

Bonus? It can also work for wireless charging! So, keep this on your desk for your coffee and to charge the phone you forgot to plug up the night before!

Includes an 18-month warranty and a free one-month return policy.

If the nerd or geek in your life is a big sports fan, then Lids.com has a ton of options in accessories and sportswear to consider. These are great for NFL, NHL, MLB, or even NCAA teams! They have everything from classic t-shirts and hats to luggage with sports themes, or even jerseys!

The Merge Cube Lets you hold digital 3D objects, enabling an entirely new way to learn and interact with the digital world.

Now you can explore a galaxy in the palm of your hand, hold fossils and ancient artifacts, explore a DNA molecule, investigate the Earth’s core, dissect a virtual frog, hold and share your own 3D creations, and so much more.

I love the idea of including something like a skill that can be passed down for years in the gift guide. Crocheting and knitting are usually associated first with older women, but secondly, primarily with women. While there are female geeks and nerds out there that might appreciate this, I also think it is great for men, boys, and anyone of any age!

This subscription box is a yarn lovers delight. The box features one small batch dyer and their unique colorway each month. Each box contains 100 grams of hand-dyed fingering yarn, a tea sampler, progress keepers, a sticker, and other great surprises. It’s a visit to the yarn shop in a box.

As someone who crochets, this appealed to me, but also gave me a chance to share a new skill with my teen son! Plus the little surprises like tea and lip balm in the box are just a fun bonus!

This is definitely a game for the older generation of geeks and nerds, but even younger ones can have fun trying to answer the questions of prior generations!

Boom Again speaks directly to the generation who grew up in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. Designed to be played by two players—or two teams, Boom Again features over 2,200 questions drawing from advertising slogans and jingles, politics and social movements, movies, music, and television.

Have you wanted to check out AR games? This augmented reality board game is adding a new level to board gaming. Not only do you see the AR challenges, but you will have to interact with them as well.

Dr. Stacey would like for you to go on an interactive treasure hunt to find the Olmec power stones. Your journey will be dangerous, and you should be careful not to get bit by all the dangerous creatures you will encounter on the way. Since all the players are after the same thing as you, trust no one because they might be the most dangerous of all.

This comes with the board game and pieces, and the AR app is for android and iOS phones.

These are so fun! While they are great for kids and teens, you should have seen the pure joy on my husband's face when the box arrived at our house. As a programmer and lover of all things robotic and electronic, he was thrilled to have this kit to put together with our son. It appeals to his childhood gaming love, and is just tons of fun! Plus, a great idea for making with kids if you want!

This gift is for Nostalgic Nerds this holiday season. The STEM company CircuitMess has come out with a retro line of products that brings back all the fun products from the 80's and 90's - but this time you get to build them yourself! This is perfect for parents to geek out and build with their kids (because we all wanted to take apart our electronics and see what was inside!), or for tinkerers and hobbyists who want to recreate their favorite childhood product.

Included in the product line:

• Circuitpet handheld virtual pet
• Chatter Walkie-Talkie
• Byteboi 8-bit console

While this is originally created for children and focuses on amazing women in history, I absolutely LOVE this for geeks and nerds. It's a fun spin on the classic Old Maid game!

Bold Made flips the script on traditional Old Maid by including Bold Women who made huge impacts on our world such as Malala Yousafzai, Temple Grandin, Ellen Ochoa, Roberta Bondar, Billie Jean King, Georgia O’Keeffe, Sally Ride, Maya Angelou, Amelia Earhart and many more.. Bold Made also has a more aspirational goal of ending the game with the Bold Made card. The perfect way to have fun and learn about inspiring women at the same time

Taco vs Burrito is the #1 Most Gifted Card Game on Amazon. This wildly popular and surprisingly strategic game was created by a 7-year-old and has taken the card game industry by storm.  With over 600K games sold and over 12,000 five-star reviews, Taco vs Burrito sold a whopping $5.6 million in 2021.  It’s perfect for kids, adults, and families!

We love playing games in our house and this has been a favorite for a few years now! Definitely, a fun idea that geeks and nerds will love!

We all know at least one man who has an epic beard. Mine just happens to be my geeky husband! This is such a great addition to your list this year!

Start your day in the right way with this beard care set. Savor the shampoo and conditioner, which are infused with the soothing scent of lavender, and enjoy the brush made from all-natural materials. When used together, they create a morning routine based around the Danish concept of Hygge, which celebrates small moments of pleasure and comfort.

For the Disney-obsessed person on your list - this subscription box called Magical Mornings is a favorite! This is a Disney theme park subscription box that aims to give a multi-sensory theme park experience direct to your door.

The box can play park music when you open it and includes a variety of items to inspire your Disney-loving soul. Each box includes a bag of theme park-inspired ground coffee, a different flavor of rice treat, a park-inspired scented wax melt, and a park planner with a digital map so you can plan your day at the park!
