The Twelve Geeks of Christmas - Maria

Since we don't publish on weekends, today is actually 12 workdays from the big day (eve)! So, if you are behind on your shopping (like we are) here are some of the things that top each of our holiday wishlists this year.

My Geeky Holiday Wish list 2015

By Maria

​Thanksgiving is over, and my thoughts are turning to the holiday season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Winter Solstice, ‘tis the season for geek gifts!  

The folks at Think Geek know just how to get you in the spirit - with this Weeping Angel tree topper. Santa needs to be sure not to blink when he comes down the chimney.

​While we’re on the subject of trees, there’s no shortage of geeky holiday ornaments in stores right now. And nothing symbolizes the spirit of giving like this iron throne ornament, spotted at the local Target. 

Who doesn’t like a geeky t-shirt as a gift? This The Martian-themed tee captures the humor of everyone’s favorite fictional astronaut. I found this one at Represent, a custom merchandise shop.

​I’m not even attempting to hide my Star Wars fever any more.
While others are counting the days until Christmas, December 17 is the date circled in red on my calendar. That’s the night my family is going to see The Force Awakens. Having bought a Jedi sports bottle, an R2D2 tote bag and a Darth Vader coffee creamer, I’ve shown great restraint and have only two SW items on my wish list. 

​The Han Solo and Princess Leia action figures come in a package together, as they were meant to be. This set is being sold in several retail outlets, including Amazon. The Funko Pop! Rey bobble-head has been spotted at several stores, including Barnes and Noble. I like to think of these two collectibles as “something old” and “something new” for this next generation of Star Wars fans. 
 
Happy geeky holidays and happy shopping!
