Happy Holidays from the team at Geek Anything! No matter what you celebrate this time of year, the most important thing is getting to spend time with the people you care about most. The second most important thing, though, is making sure you find them the perfect gift to celebrate with!
We are nearing the end of 2021 and are knee-deep in the holiday season! That’s why we’ve spent the last few weeks pouring over our wish lists and coming up with The Geek Anything Holiday Gift Guide 2021! Everybody has at least one or two geeks that they care about (even if that occasionally means they’re just buying for themselves) and we’ve put together a list of some of our absolute favorite items that would make the perfect gifts this holiday season!
In Part 1 of our guide, we’re taking a look at some great ideas for Stocking Stuffers and geeky gifts for Home! Scroll down below to check out some of our personal favorite recommended gifts for this holiday season!
Stocking Stuffers
Starting off small, we’ve got some of our favorite suggestions for the perfect stocking stuffers! While a few of these are a little bigger than your standard stocking, they’re still a small gift to let someone know you were thinking of them.
If fashion is their thing, perhaps a new wallet is in order? We’ve found several stylish options themed around various corners of popular culture including Star Wars‘ Boba Fett, Marvel’s Spider-Gwen, MTV’s classic animated series Daria, and even Gizmo from Gremlins (which has an adorable matching mini-backpack available to go with it!). If a wallet isn’t quite big enough, we also found a cute Sailor Moon clutch bag themed around Luna the cat that would make a purr-fect addition to any ensemble. Finally, for those of us who need to head into the office every day but love our fandoms, we’ve found a few great neckties themed around two titans of geek media, Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Mandalorian.
If you’re just looking to add a little extra flair to their lives, why not pick up a few enamel pins? We’ve found a pretty extraordinary amount of collectible pins from every corner of geekdom, including Ghostbusters, The Simpsons, Spider-Man, Daria, Power Rangers, The Mandalorian, and two unique Jurassic Park sets (one of which includes a Park Ranger lanyard!).
Bottle openers are another great gift idea for the geek on the go! Whether it’s one they carry in their bag or one they keep at their bar, it is certainly always helpful to have a bottle opener handy to open some of our favorite fancy beverages. Some of our favorite bottle openers are themed around some of our favorite films including Back To The Future, Jaws, and Jurassic Park! There is even one based on the original Hand Phaser from Star Trek!
If you want to go a little bigger, we have a few fun recommendations for gifts that aren’t quite small enough to fit into a stocking, but that are just the right size to fill that geek-shaped hole in your holiday shopping! If you’re shopping for the Back To The Future fan that has everything, you can’t go wrong with this year’s Back To The Future III Advent Calendar from Playmobil! This set includes a bunch of great new figures and accessories themed around the final movie in the Back To The Future trilogy, and even includes parts to upgrade the Playmobil Delorean!
If you want to thank someone for being a friend, there’s the Golden Girls Little People playset that includes all four of the famed dames from the classic 80s sitcom. Of course, there are various versions of Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) to choose from, including a plush Grogu in a hover pram and a fancy version of Grogu that chows down on his favorite snacks for your favorite Star Wars fans. And if you really wanted to commemorate the reality we live in, you can pick up the artist collaboration vinyl figure featuring Lil’ Dumpster Fire and the This Is Fine Dog all in one piece!
Rounding out this section with a few odds and ends, here are some small items that would make the perfect cherry on top of the awesome gifts you’re already getting your favorite people. Whether it’s a Jar Jar Binks window sticker for their car or Porg Cufflinks for their dress shirts, we’ve got your favorite Star Wars fan covered for every occasion! We also picked out three of our favorite holiday ornaments, with themes you don’t often see this time of year like Magic The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, and Hellboy!
Home
One of the best parts of modern living is that we can include our favorite fandoms in a much bigger way in our everyday lives by featuring them throughout our homes. Whether it is the living room, the bedroom, or the kitchen, there are tons of ways to throw in a little bit of your favorite popular culture into your day in subtle ways (or in your face depending on what you’re into).
For your main living area, you can’t go wrong with throw pillows or fleece blankets. Some of our favorites this year are themed around Star Trek, Animal Crossing, Sailor Moon, and Dungeons & Dragons. Also, there are very few ways better to let people know what they’re in for than by openly welcoming them with a geeky welcome mat themed around series like Star Trek, The Mandalorian, or Marvel’s Spider-Man!
For the kitchen, we picked out some great pieces! Whether it’s your on-the-go Chewbacca Water Bottle, Jack and Sally Salt-And-Pepper Shakers from The Nightmare Before Christmas, or a Captain America-themed Soup Mug, there are countless ways to incorporate your favorite geeky person’s interests into their day. That said, there is perhaps a no better way than with a mug for their morning coffee (or tea!) themed around their favorite fandoms like Jay and Silent Bob, The Mandalorian, or Sailor Moon (which has multiple fun options including a fancy gift set or a pair of mugs shaped like Artemis and Luna).
As both a writer, a collector, and a massive pop culture junkie, I have a confession to make: I am absolutely obsessed with Geeki Tikis. This line started small and has quickly become an easy go-to when I need to find a fun and unique gift for someone, and it isn’t hard to see why. Geeki Tikis have been producing countless fan-favorite characters from all over the pop culture spectrum in the form of stylized tiki-mugs that are the perfect barware for any geek! Some of my favorites available this year include:
- The Creature From The Black Lagoon
- Gizmo from Gremlins
- Jason Voorhees
- He-Man and Skeletor
- Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow
- Ghostface
- Elvira
- The Tarman from Return Of The Living Dead
- King Shark
- Jar Jar Binks
- Boo Berry
- Shaggy Rogers
- The Red Power Ranger
- The Deluxe Rancor with Oola Mini-Tiki
For those who prefer something a little classier, but still want to showcase their favorite fandom with their barware, we also would love to bring your attention to these beautifully crafted Star Wars Scenic Tikis. These bring us gorgeous visuals from all across various landscapes of the Star Wars galaxy on masterfully crafted glassware. While not quite as extreme as the standard Geeki Tikis, these are certainly a great way to celebrate the Star Wars universe in a more “adult” way. Scenes featured include Jabba’s Palace, The Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine, Endor, and Bespin.
That concludes Part 1 of The Geek Anything Holiday Gift Guide 2021! Be sure to stick around for Part 2 and Part 3 which should be posted soon! There are plenty of gifts out there to choose from besides the ones shown here, but we hope you found our guide helpful!
