Geek Gift Ideas for Christmas 2013 – For the Geeky Home & Geeky Office

We Schipulites like to think of ourselves as a group of web geeks out to change the world one website at a time. And we think we know a thing or two about what other such geeks might want for Christmas (or any holiday gift giving occasion!). This is the first in a series of Geek Gift Ideas we’re eyeing this Christmas. With just under 2 weeks until Christmas, you still have some time to order these gifts for your favorite geek!

Note: Big thanks to the team for their ideas for this first post, especially  Jennie Lane  &  Jordan Schipul!

Pop Vinyls by Funko
