How to Choose a Geek-Friendly Birthday GiftChoosing the perfect birthday present can be very tricky. However, it can get even more frustrating when it comes to geek birthday presents. These guys are often very picky. This makes it even harder to pick the perfect geek gift, but don’t worry. There are presents all of them will love. Here are some of the most popular ones.

Gadgets are always a good way to go

A useful, high-profile gadget will always make a perfect gift for your favorite geek. A smartphone, a tablet, or maybe a smartwatch would all do the trick. Trust me, they will be head over heels in love with anything even close.

Of course, there is only one condition implied – you need to get the right one, which can be pretty tricky if your budget is tight.

When it comes to such presents, their performance matters. Consult an expert and choose the right thing than to pick a smartphone that performs poorer than expected. Even though this sounds a bit harsh – this is how things work in a geek world.

Finding good gifts for geeks and nerds sounds like a mission impossible, right? It doesn't have to be with these tips! Click To Tweet

Something special for bookworms


If your birthday boy or girl is keen on reading, you can always opt for a geek gift related to books. However, it is still a good idea to add a twist to such a gift, and that can be done in several ways.

First of all, you can choose an e-book bundle, but this only works if you are familiar with that particular person’s interests. Getting a person that’s a sports nut a book on knitting probably wouldn’t turn out very well.

In that case, you can always pick gift cards, e-book accessories, personalized covers, or something similar instead. They will love it, too!

An ultimate source of fun for all ages

If you are looking for a universal source of fun for geeks of all ages, an incredible hoverboard segway may be the present you are looking for! This battery-powered device is one of the major hits recently, and geeks all over the world have been raving about it for a long time now.

This gadget is too cool to be true – it emits no exhaust gasses and is very quiet, which makes it appropriate for every possible setting. Your favorite geek will move carelessly with the help of this amazing little fellow!

Movie-related goodies as a perfect geek gift


If you know they adore a particular movie or TV show; you can base your geek gift on goodies related to it. Star Wars fans will be thrilled to get a lunch box inspired by the beloved R2D2 robot.

On the other hand, if they are obsessed with Game of Thrones, you can always get them a Stark house banner or a wooden box with three dragon eggs in it. Just don’t forget to say that “winter is coming!” Such a gift will sweep them off their feet!

Choosing a geek-friendly birthday gift is certainly not an easy task, particularly if you are not a part of that world yourself. However, it doesn’t have to be difficult at all – just bear in mind the personal interests of the person in question, and you will get it right. If you are still at a loss, you can always ask him or her what they want – it will be much easier for both of you that way. Good luck!

What’s the perfect gift for your favorite nerd?

    This is definitely a problem I have! This year for Christmas i have one child wanting the brand new Xbox x which is very expensive and if he gets that it will be his only present and I hate to do that to him.

      Our kids usually opt to do that. They rather get a large thing than several little. They often go as far as bundling their birthday with Christmas to get an even bigger gift.

    Good advice. I try to get help when buying for my techy teen because I am lost without it. You are right nothing worse than getting all excited about a gift and having it be wrong.

      Yes, it’s always a bummer when you buy a bad gift. Best thing is cash or just to ask.
