So leaving out SS, who and what else geeky items for Christmas, or Hanukkah (sp?) are you doing?
I got my dh a set of cards against humanity, some green tea candy, and a star wars pen. My son got one of the playschool star wars toy he didn't have, some star wars underpants, space jammies, and some books. My DD got a set of unicorns, that she already opened and I can't get from her, and a Princess Leia outfit for her American doll knock off that i still need to finish, it will match hers. We will get my bil a ps4 game, or a gift card for one, since he wants that for his big gift from MIL. I got my brother the 12 days of holiday bullshit for his gift.
I'm asking for Cards Against Humanity, The Walking Dead Compendiums, and I bought myself the 12 days of holiday bullshit. But in general my family and H aren't really that into geeky gifts, and my take on them depends on how practical they are. I got a utilikey one year, which I love, but I don't need or want a Tardis cookie jar for several reasons.
I might get my H a Nintendo 3DS, but I'm not sure (and I don't consider video games geeky per se...).
I got DH the 12 Days of Holiday Bullshit, that's about as geeky as it's going to get this year. He just bought himself a new pistol, so he's getting the boring stuff from me (sweaters, etc..)
I've been trying to hunt down Betrayal at House on the Hill for DH. If I can't get that I'll most likely substitute in some other board game or one of the Pathfinder adventure paths. I also plan on hitting up the Steam sale for "stocking stuffers".
H is really the only geek I shop for unless I happen to draw one of my few nerdy coworkers in my work secret santa.
I'm buying a Star Wars Lego set for a friend's kid, and we'll probably be getting Steam gift cards for H's friends. And I will probably look for something cute+Doctor Who for my one geeky girl friend in town Oooh do they make Doctor Who themed cookie cutters? I could TOTALLY get into making some geeky sugar cookies for her...
I bought the Tardis cookie jar thing for a friend but that's pretty much the only other geeky person I could buy for. DH and I decided on a Dyson vaccum as our big gift and I'm super excited about it:)

I was so excited when we got our Dyson. I love it! DH said that we're now adults since we spent over $100 on a vacuum.

That is what my dh said when we got one. Then he demanded he get to use it first. I was just excited it picked up a ton of crap, and we got the one that goes on all floors, so no sweeping!

I think everything H and I buy for each other is geeky. He gets me a lot of Doctor Who or Batman stuff, and I get him zombies and Superman. I also got my brother a Star Wars t-shirt and fortune-telling bacon.

Also, my Dyson is my most favorite vacuum ever and I would never go back. I made the case to hang onto it in the divorce because I was keeping the cats so therefore I needed the Dyson too, right?

Urgh, I hate how my stupid browser won't let you C&P more than one link. Anyway, I got the red and yellow daleks and the TARDIS. They are all glass ornaments.

I thought of you yesterday, I put a Venture Bros.' figure on eBay. Phantom Limb.

Ha, my husband was a groomsman in a wedding this weekend, and we got this:
My SO is buying me a Nintendo 3DS. I consider this somewhat geeky, because the only reason he's buying it for me is so that I can play Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Link to the Past was my favorite, so I'm very excited.
Not sure what I'm getting him. This mention of cookie cutters made me think about making him some cookies with my Star Wars cutters. But he doesn't like sweets. Damn.
We already bought our gifts for each other lololol. I am buying the boy child a stomp rocket from think geek and a Roto copter for man thing from think geek.
I don't even want anything for Christmas, except maybe neat snacks and to have a quiet holiday.
I'm buying my friend a monokuroboo mug and blanket set!
For my other sister, I'm trying to think through a Buffy centered gift box. I found a candle on easy that's supposed to smell like "Sunnydale Library" I'm looking for a fun Buffy art piece to pair with it, and then I'm going to throw in a box of these brain shaped soaps in its own little box and write "Grrr. Aargh." on it because the little monster guy at the end looks like he'd eat brains. And, also, I just really want to buy these for someone. They're supposed to smell like buttercreme and snickerdoodles. A snickerdoodle scented brain.

DH is getting a gag gift clock that instead of numbers, has different types of beards. I also got him the re-released Nightmare Before Christmas book. I haven't decided on his big gift yet, or the kid yet really. I should probably get on all this. I feel proud that I've finished stocking gifts, but I guess there's still a ways to go. Oi. (Spaceman)
