3rd Annual Gifts for Geeks and Grammarians 2016

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR GEEK IS INTO OR WHY.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR BOOK READING GIRLFRIEND IS INTO OR WHY.

How do I know this? Simple. Because no one knows what to get me. It was actually last year, after I posted my gifts for geeks post, that my wife said to me… “Hon, what do you want for Christmas.” And I said, “I have a post about gifts for geeks… take a peek at that!” and she looks at me and says… I kid you not, “No really. What do you want for Christmas?” Hahahah! THAT! I want ALL THAT! This is what I want! I’m a geek! I want stuff you think is JUNK! By definition! We don’t understand what our significant other’s are into, or why. We just don’t. And that’s ok. And that’s why I’m here to help you out. I’m sure I’ll do another grammarian list as well because I had so much fun doing the last one.

So this year (the 3rd annual no less), I’ve combined both the idea of gifts for geeks and gifts for grammarians into a single post. Yes, I know readers/grammarians aren’t just women. And geeks aren’t just men. Got it. So if your husband is an uber grammarian reader geek? Brilliant, I got goods for him. If your wife is a full tilt unabashed (can you just be bashed? or would it be abashed?)

	Illumibowl – $26 Let’s start this list off with a BANG shall we? Yeah, this list is bringing you only the premium geek-junk the world has to offer baby! Illumibowl is a light for your toilet. Your geeked out significant other will look at you on Christmas morning and say, “HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?” And you know what? Your secret is safe with me.
	Godzilla Destroying San Fran State Town – $24 – 101 (on sale now) I literally ask this of my kids, every single day. “How was your day guys? Did you destroy Tokyo?” The first time was a little awkward, but they get it now … duh, Godzilla. Well here we have a vintage poster of Godzilla doing exactly that to San FranStateTown. What every geek wants on their wall.
	Literary Infinity Scarf – $25 Just bought one of these for my significant grammarian other for Christmas. (OH I HOPE SHE DOESNT READ THIS BEFORE CHRISTMAS) But look at this thing! Newsprint infinity goodness. How could you possibly go wrong with this? Not to mention the proceeds go towards Jessica’s adoption – so buy 12.
	BlueTooth Shower Speakers – $20 My wife snagged me one of these last year for Christmas, and instantly regretted it. Hahahh. I ADORE this thing. Beautiful beautiful invention. Because at 5 am, you gotta have your Depeche Mode to wake up to. Never mind that our master bath has no door to the bedroom! hahah.
	TIKI COCKTAIL GLASSES!!!– $19.49 Sometimes, we grammarians feel alone and out numbered… so I figured, why not design a symbol for all of us to unite under? Thus this t-shirt, which will make a fantastic Christmas gift this year for your über grammar geek friend or loved one.
	Bibliophant T-Shirt – $21 No idea what to get that reader in the family? Then get her a Bibliophant t-shirt. No idea what a bibliophant is? No worries, I don’t either, and I created the loveable little guy. But I’m sure your elphantine reader (see what I did there?) will know!
	You Had Me At Whom – $22 to $81 Want to let your grammarian husband, or grammarian girlfriend know that their freakishly efficient grammarness is the most adorable thing ever? Then how about a vintage type written declaration of affection in a framed print.
	Vintage Desk Marquee Lightbox – $64 I want. And it will go right next to my awesome lava lamp. And the first thing I’d make it say? Probably: “Remember, There Is No Spoon” or some such movie awesomeness. Every day would be a new day of potential awesomeness. Or, word of the day? (Today’s word of the day happens to be Fantods. As in, “You are giving me the howling fantods.”)
	Grammarians Unite! – $20 Sometimes, we grammarians feel alone and out numbered… so I figured, why not design a symbol for all of us to unite under? Thus this t-shirt, which will make a fantastic Christmas gift this year for your über grammar geek friend or loved one.
	Solar Fairy Jar – $17 i LOVE capturing fairies. I bet you don’t even know that about. Was a huge fan of Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy book from years ago. But this is the next best thing. Who doesn’t want solar jars that light your fairies to spread a little magic in your day?
	Commas Save Lives T-Shirt – $20 “I love baking my cat and leaving out commas.” Need I say any more at all? This is a very practical example of why it is, that we must always, always, always, use commas. Hahaha.
	Grammarians Unite! – $22 Sometimes, we grammarians feel alone and out numbered… so I figured, why not design a symbol for all of us to unite under? Thus this t-shirt, which will make a fantastic Christmas gift this year for your über grammar geek friend or loved one.
	Smartphone Instant Photo Lab – $169 Want to make physical photos out of your gorgeous instagram and facebook photos? No problem. I have a solution for you. Retro appeal meets high-tech design in this easy-to-use instant photo printer that lets you create awesome analog Polaroid-style photo prints from your smartphone or tablet. Get the app, connect your phone, print some goodness!
	Grammarians Unite! – $22 This unit utilizes magnets to pull metal balls through a zen garden of sand in order to scrawl fantastic looking patterns. And you can design mesmerizing sand drawings with your own magically magnetic zen garden. I could probably just stare at this thing until I realize I probably needed depends earlier in the day.
	Snow Ski Wine Rack – $22 This unit utilizes magnets to pull metal balls through a zen garden of sand in order to scrawl fantastic looking patterns. And you can design mesmerizing sand drawings with your own magically magnetic zen garden. I could probably just stare at this thing until I realize I probably needed depends earlier in the day.
	Urban Animals Tangs Invade New York – $40 Everyone wants a high quality print of enormous urban animals hanging in their office. These bright yellow Tangs will brighten any day as you watch them swim through the enormous high rises of New York. You know you want one.
	Useless Box Kit – $30 This is a perennial favorite. I still don’t own one… and I’m particularly peeved about that. But that doesn’t keep you from buying one. Or better yet… buying me one! hahha. This is an electronic kit that you assemble that will turn itself off every time you turn it on. This is the definition of geek.
	Bubble Wrap Calendar – $27 Combine the emotional release of bubble wrap, with the psychological joy of checking off check boxes and you have the brilliance of the Bubble Wrap Calendar. Possibly the only glitch here is your children, and those that have zero self control around bubble wrap. But other than that? Perfect geek or grammarian gift!
