Budget-Friendly Geeky Christmas Gift Ideas
Sometimes, I’m in awe at how technology has advanced since my high school days, making finding unique things so much easier. I remember the joy I felt when I discovered a lesser-known ska band and had to mail order their CD, stickers, and pins for my purse. Now, with a simple Google search, I can find a countless number of obscure ska bands, quirky stickers, and an infinite variety of tiny pins for my messenger bags.
Being a geek is now not only easier but also more accepted and celebrated. No more are geeks just kids playing Dungeons & Dragons in a basement. Today, you can proudly wear your geekiness and there are so many amazing online platforms like Etsy where you can embrace it. Plus, it’s a great place to find the perfect Christmas gift for the geek in your life and that too without stretching your wallet.
Let’s start with bubbleandgeek. I absolutely love their line of geeky candles. For just $16, you can get one of their fantastic scented candles; I’m particularly fond of the Big Damn Heroes candles. If you’re looking for something cheaper, don’t miss their $4 lip balms; ‘Winter is Coming’ smells splendid!
Another firm favorite is NeverGrowUpDesigns, who create geeky prints on vintage dictionary pages. I especially love how they pair the illustrations with quotes, selecting particular dictionary pages that align with the theme.
For mugs, check out MyVinylVariations. It’s important that even your coffee mugs reflect your persona, right? For just $10, gift your geek friend a coffee mug with a quote from their favorite TV show and brighten up their mornings. They also offer themed wine glasses for those who prefer their beverages a little stronger.
Bazingapop offers cleverly designed geeky coasters, ideal for friends already armed with lots of geeky glassware. They offer designs from popular series like The Walking Dead, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and Transformers amongst others.
To sweeten up your friend’s favorite show binging session, gift them a themed cookie cutter from CrimsonManeCreations. At $7.94, pick a design according to their favorite series – they have cookie cutter designs from Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and more!
