12 unique gifts for a girl geek that aren’t jewelry
Gamer and computer geek girls can be harder for shop for. Chances are high that homegirl isn’t going to be knocked over by any old bling bling, but those who speak to her great geeky passions tend to win her heart.
Perhaps you’ve fallen in love with one of these rare gems of a girl, and you want to express how much you adork her through the medium of shiny things. Etsy is a virtual (really) treasure trove of well made, reasonably priced items to show your geeky love interest that you less than three her. Pi day is rapidly approaching, and you don’t want to be the dude who forgets to mark it. Etsy is a fantastic place for gift-shopping for any person or occasion, but shopping for geeks yields a particularly large number of awesome options. (Note: most of the items on the list would work for a boy, too.)

For her crib
Chicks dig things for their houses. Get her a dustbuster and parts of you won’t get hoovered for at least a week, but everyone in the animal kingdom brings pretty leaves and twigs back to the nest. If she’s a gamer girl with oldschool roots, she might appreciate this:
But maybe she’s just a general internet geek, and that’s cool. That whole Web 2.0 thing is all about puffy things and pop art, so she could dig a GMail pillow:
And hey, maybe she’s a straight up drunk, I’m not judging. But if she likes to hit the hooch while she throws down playing DnD, this might be her gift:
Is your girl always staring into the unforgiving eyes of the internet? Flip this baby around, and it’s a sweet and everlasting reminder of your soppy, soppy love:
