Holiday gift giving can be a major pain in the tookis. Buying gifts for people you know and like is hard enough, but having to shop for some obligatory knick-knack because you got roped into having a holiday dinner over at your Auntie's house is yuckaroo. (Usually I just run on down to the dollar store and pick up a dog shaped soap dispenser, re-gift some suspicious baked goods, or bring a box of wine.)
The good thing is that if you’ve got a plethora of geeks on your shopping list the gift giving can be easy. Most geeks wear clothes. And their favorite item of clothing? T-shirts! These convenient coverers of nekkidness can often be had for under twenty smackers. Sometimes even cheaper then that. So for little more then the cost of one months gameplay in World of Warcraft, you can keep your favorite geek happy and warm.* Which is good because you might need them to fix something.
Using the Evolution of a Geek flow chart we posted a few weeks ago as a loose guide, I set out to compile an Epic T-shirt gift giving list.
- Ultimate Fantasy Geek Shirt - *(pictured) *This shirt is one of the best things ever. These two sisters from Los Angeles refer to this shirt as Sci Fi Collide and they have offered our readers a 20% discount at their Etsy shop. Just enter GEEKMOM in the promo code box at check out. Sweet.
