Shopping For The Geek(s) In Your Life

As much as we don't want to face it, especially myself since I work in Retail, Thanksgiving/Grey Thursday/Black Friday/Hanukkah/Christmas is literally just around the corner. To get a jump on snagging those perfect gifts that send fanboys and fangirls into a fit of pure geek ecstasy, I've decided to assist in finding that One Perfect Thing (or even Things) for the geek(s) in your life.

• Though the ReAction Firefly figures are already out and available for purchase, the Funko Pop! Firefly figures are available for pre-order on EntertainmentEarth.com and are set to be released next month. Entertainment Earth also has a vast listing of various prop replicas, patches, collectible figures, etc. from other sci-fi shows and movies.
• Tee Fury, TeeMinus24, Shirtoid, Cosmic City Tees, RedBubble and Etsy are great places to find your geek's favorite fandoms AND support indie artists and crafters.
• If your geek is an avid gamer, and you know their platform of choice, PSN cards, Xbox cards, or gift cards for PC games (and there are SO many, so there's really not one particular link I can share) might be a good way to go.
• For the comic book collectors, a Marvel subscription or DC subscription (or any of the other various publishing companies) might be a nice surprise. Looking for something new the big names don't have? No worries: IndyPlanet carries lots of indie titles [shameless plug/example: Rachel Strand and Equinox from Equinox Comics].
• If your geek LOVES TOS-era Star Trek, and you happen to live in or plan to travel through Oklahoma, check out Starbase Studios in Oklahoma City. Be sure to utilize the contact page ahead of time if you'd like a tour [this might make a better Birthday present].

 If you feel I've left anything out, please feel free to comment. I look forward to reading your gift suggestions!

Note to the Readers:

You may have noticed the blog has a new-ish name. TXTrekkieGurl, formerly Dalek Chick, has felt it best if she streamlined all of her activities under one name, and she goes by TXTrekkieGurl on Trek Radio and Twitter so she decided to go by that here.
