– A set of science glasses
So that your friends could learn while drink, haha. Those also can be thematic, decorated with math formulas, constellations and so on.
– Anti-stress zombie virus rubber ball

Every college student, programmer,… should have this! Cold coffee no more. Just plug it into USB port and enjoy hot drink while studying. Perfect choice for all-nighters, by the way.
– USB drinks cooler
Yes, that’s it! Now you can have fridge by computer and long gaming sessions don’t imply warm Cola anymore.
– Flying/running alarm clock
Probably, Every student have overslept study at least once. Getting early is one of the major troubles and causes for missed classes. You get to learn your alarm clock song and your brain turns it into lullaby, so you continue sleeping, or at least learn to turn it off half-asleep. This all gets impossible if your alarm runs away! The best choice for sleepy college friends this year. There are lots of variations available, for example check this secret agent handgun piece.
– Brain-shaped candle
This would be great for your friends-biologists. Looking like brain stored in formaldehyde, this candle will create trully atmosphere of geek party.. or just add some abnormality into minimallistic dorm room.
– Books
No surprise, geeks love books! The thing is to make a proper choice. Your science-addicted friend will be delighted to get a long desired monograph or collection of academic articles in his or her field of expertise.
– Osmo game accessory for ipad

Besides, with this stuff you’ll learn how to gather around an ipad and have fun together with your family or friends. New hi-tech approach to already familiar board games.
– Custom-made greeting cards
Have no idea what to present your relatives with? Mom-Dad-Granny greetings appear to be difficult, moreover no matter what you bring them, their present always appears to be bigger, smarter, cooler, more expensive and so on (unless they present you with ugly Christmas sweater). In any case, one of the ideas for such presents can be a simple greeting card. For example, you can order your own photo turned into the real greeting card from many services, try this for instance.

After finding all the gifts you also need to wrap them nicely. Do it geeky way as well. Chose one of geek wrapping papers available.
Nooo! One more ugly sweater!
Now, if you’ve already got an ugly sweater for Christmas, it’s reason to organize Ugly Sweater Party. Take your friends to participate in the event, tell them to wear the most ridiculous Christmas sweaters (yeah, those with Santa Claus, Christmas tree, deer, cat in hat, etc.). What else could you do this night? Make (or buy them in your local store) some cookies for the party (sweater-shaped, but of course), vote for the ugliest one at your party. You don’t need to make sweaters yourself or receive them from your granny, by the way. Lots of ugly sweaters are available in stores, make your choice.
Christmas geek activities
What would be a perfect advice is the SIGNAL (yup, it was the signal already) to start searching for board games to play Christmas or the New Year night. Shelves in the shops become empty, so hurry up and find what is good for you. Try the world known like Dixit, Alias or Munchkin if you still haven’t, or pick any of the list of best board games for Christmas.
Don’t forget about special Christmas treats. Warm yourself up and make a hot Christmas cocktail. Don’t forget about this tradition during the holidays as well: cocktails are pleasant to make and tasty to drink, so write out couple of recipes not to forget.
