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

Drink your hot drinks scientifically. details

For the pierced biologist: these 3D double-helixes are about one inch long, so they're not very gaudy, and they're coated with pure silver. details

Tico the fairy teaches Princess Ruruna how to design a relational database, understand the entity-relationship model, use SQL, make it more efficient and secure... all as a manga comic book! details

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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