Geeky gifts. No Star Trek/Wars anything—we have to draw the line somewhere—but you'll still find some cool tech toys here.

Glowing lines on the shirt change color to show how strong the local wi-fi signal is. details

Relive the early days of photography, except that you can use color film too, which should be pretty cool. Uses 35mm film. Some assembly required, but that's part of the fun. details

This waterproof, fade-resistant skin makes your laptop look like an old school vinyl turntable. A wheel of steel, as it were. details

For the gangsta geek. Rhodium plating, and just crusty with cubic zirconia. details

The pendant on my necklace had an image, but it won't come up. details

Like Post-Its, but with logical positivists. "Of what we cannot note, we must remain silent." The blue ones have excellent checkboxes for Tautology, Meaningless, and Schweigen. Schweigen! details

Wrapping paper for the geek in your life: equations, binary, Christmasbots, and more. details

Twelve inches in diameter, requires just one AA battery. And pixilated! details

Put a coin on it, and brown or white kitty (your choice) pops out of the brown cardboard box with Japanese writing on it and grabs it, then meows. Everybody wins. details

So futuristic, so useful: this cube projects a glowing red keyboard onto a flat surface, and then it works as a real keyboard. See the video. The marketing plays up the iPad/iPhone angle, but it works with Android devices, Windows, Mac OS, and Blackberry tablets. details

You control the speed of the scanning eyes, whether they're red or blue, and whether it makes a creepy sound. (See excellent video.) details

Plug it into a USB port, and it does absolutely nothing. Then again, it takes absolutely no care, and comes in a box very similar to that of the original 1970s Pet Rock. Watch the video of the USB Pet Rock in action. details

Set of 3 almost 4" wide. If you charge them up and drop them on someone who used to play a lot of Space Invaders while they're trying to sleep, they'll find it very memorable. details

Standard, poker-sized cards with classic Atari images on each card. details

A cool, old-fashioned, working lighter—that holds 8 GB of data via its USB port. details

iPad case has rubber feet, felt backing, and retractable kick stands to prop your iPad up at an angle, and cut-outs to give you access to the important plugs and switches. And, everything you view will look like it's on an Etch-a-Sketch screen. details

Drink your hot drinks scientifically. details

Make up your own messages, and they display in different patterns. How about "Help, I'm a fan"? details

Sterling silver pendant of a caffeine molecule on a silver chain. Designed by a wayward Ph.D. post-grad in molecular biophysics. details

3.5" wide and cut from recycled motherboards. details

Nine ceramic computer keys let you build your own geeky Menorah. details

Cushion your electronic gadgets on soft, realistic artificial grass as they charge up, with all the cords hidden away in a compartment underneath. Your gadgets will think they're on a charging vacation! details

A geekier alternative to fuzzy dice for your rear view mirror. One solved, the other not. details

Opens bottles and stores 2 GB of data. You'll truly be ready for anything. details

Cute plush squishable Android. So much more lovable than the cold white boxes from Steve Jobs' company. Available in large (15" diameter) and small (7"). details

If Super Mario had a Christmas wreath, this would be it. 10.5" x 13" x 1.125", and requires two AA batteries to really sparkle. details

Looks like an old audio cassette, but actually a memory stick holding 64 megs. Fill it up with tunes and write out the playlist on the accompanying cardboard label, and give it as a very cool gift. details

Make any wall look a giant Asteroids, Centipede, or Pong game. Peel and stick and design it yourself. A real art gallery effect. details

Available in men's, women's, and kid's sizes. And hoodies! details

For the old school geek. Leave it on your desk and impress the young whippersnappers. (Also see the virtual slide rule.) details
