Geek Christmas Ideas
« on: Thu, 22 November 2012, 19:53:38 »
Hey guys,
So, my parents are looking to get stuff for me for Christmas, but honestly, I hadn't thought about it. Any ideas for geeks?

Novelty/custom keycaps?

I was thinking of asking my family members for various custom keycaps - just one, or a whole set depending on budget.  Something for everyone to get me :)

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I usually just ask for computer parts. I asked for an SSD, and I bought my brother a monitor. Geeks are easy to shop for  :p it's everyone else in my family (the non geeks) I'm having problems finding things for!
