What would you buy as a gift for a Geek? I need help!

How about Logitech Harmony universal remote control? It's a control freak remote control. lol It controls the tv, tivo, and dvd player - all 3 in one so there's some cool convenience there. The only thing I don't like about it is the setting up process cause it takes time but it's worth it once the process is done. One day though my husband could not wait to go from one channel to another so he kept on pushing and pressing this button and that. Nothing worked. Guess what he did? He went "Oh i hate you!!!!" then broke the remote control in half. I could not believe my eyes. I've seen remote controls thrown away but I've never seen a remote control cut in half! That was amazing and my husband looked so calmed down afterwards. I think he got back to his senses and realized that he broke his bestfriend. hahaha

First of all, what is your budget? There are so many gizmos and gadgets in the store, ranging from a few dollars all the way to a few thousand. If I get to choose, and let my imagination run wild, I would probably get something from every department in the gadget store! Well, for starters, I recently got a free mini laptop which I am having a whale of a time on. Or you can see if you can get a GPS tracking system for the car? Or a multi-Ultra-Universal remote control that is programmable. Or the latest in handphones... the iPhone? I know a geek would love to own one. Or the latest game console, the PS3? The list could be endless. The only way to really suggest is to know your husband. Best is to go shopping with him and observe what he looks at to get a better idea of what he wants. Otherwise, heck, just get a gift voucher and let him get the gift himself!

Well I have one suggestion. They have these MONSTEROUS universal remotes with lights etc. They are huge I tell you. Great idea for one that loves and has a lot of things run by remote. I know I'd love one. These are nearly as big as a newspaper too. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well, sometimes its hard not to want to give a "real" gift, but for hard to buy for people, a gift card is often the best way to go.

Im a geek here's what i would want: A 4g flash drive The remote is a great idea zoomba (not sure on the spelling, the automatic vaccuum for his workshop) rockband :) (youre never too old) or if he's into tools, my dad is obsessed w/ woodworking, but whatever his craft is hit up antique shops and flea markets and get antique tools. Ive built up quite a collection for my father, its historically signifigant, and it makes for a cool display of someone's hobby from the past and sometimes you can find the stuff for a steal. i think ive spent maybe 400 bucks total and have been doing it every year for christmas for the past 10. The stuff from the 1800's is really cool.

buy him one of those game systems?

I think i'm going to get my husband one of those kits that you can build a remote control whatever out of. He likes to tinker around, and they have these kits at the electronics store to build things. I'm also going to get him a bunch of spare LEDs, some wire, a few of those arduino boards, etc. Maybe he'll invent something? At any rate, maybe your husband might like to have some fun with circuitry, too?

do he have a train set it has to be put together and he willkeep him very busy with this train set for a while.another is putting miniture cars together that actually works.this is a hard one.if he like scientific stuff he could try experimenting with different chemicals.good -luck on this one

There's a t-shirt at "think geek dot com" that has a drum kit on the front. When you touch one of them, they sound off! He could play a drum solo anywhere he is. Anyway, that's a great site for a geek. I got my son some "snow" from there last year and it's a good company.

I would just get him a gift card in an electronic store he loves to go. so he can buy whatever he wants.

LOL... Well I could say this if hes anything like my husband get him a T-MAX Its a remote truck yes sounds childish but my friend bought her husband one last year and he loves it.. My husband loves his and my sister is buying her husband one this year in fact tomorrow we go pick it up. Gagetron men seem to love it!!!!

If he's more of a computer geek, get him a $10 gift certificate for NewEgg dot com. Sounds like he'd get more out of a $10 Radio Shack gift card though. Happy MyLotting!

Does he have one of the electric keyboards? If not that could be a challenge for him and if you get one that he can hook into his computer then he can make his own music. My brother-in-law did that and he is really good at it now!

What if you buy for him a perfume?Try 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. I'd opened a discussion about this Paco Rabanne and you can see it through.

Well, if he is into Video games and stuff like that, there is always a Nintendo WII or the Xbox 360. If he is into Music, there is a lot of Ipods and such out there you could get him as well. Personally, I would think there is something out there you could consider getting him that he does not have, and would appreciate. Maybe you could secretly hint to what he might be wanting this yr. and then decide from there. I am sure you will come up with something.

gosh you got me stumped, he has everything, I suppose he has a remote control for the car, a blackberry phone, high definition dvd and cable box for the tv, digital camera, what about that mileage thing for the car, you know that give directions, I forget what it is called,

Get him a gift card to Best Buy or whatever geek store he likes. You can choose the amount to put on it, so you can control the amount you spend. I love getting gift cards.

I dont know if he is a geek as you say he is and maybe he has everything. But what would be a good gift if he dosnt have it is a gps system which Im so glad that I bought one and you could probally use it to so that can work out for both of you it would make driving so much easier and its worth the money.
