Geek Gift Guide 2019 – 2020

Everyone has that person who they instinctively call with the laptop is acting wonky or the pad won’t connect. It’s your geek friend or family member who gets techie stuff – the geek in your life. Everyone has one or two (maybe more).

But the good geeks are in demand in this high tech world. So you if you’re calling a techie who never lets you down, you know others are, too. How can you make sure you’re getting the VIP treatment when you need your nerd? The answer comes from the 90’s group the New Radicals – “You Get What You Give”.

If you want geek love when your tech needs attention you gotta give some geek love. But don’t panic (a wink to all the geeks out there, if you understand “Don’t Panic” then you know who you are)! You can do this without it getting weird.

It’s simple, give your geek a gift. Whether it’s the holidays, a birthday, or just to let them know they’re appreciated, the love will be returned the next time you need tech support. Tech people are generally an honorable lot, some think the desire to do good is part of the geek genes. Another part of the geek gene is an inclination for gadgets and games.

So what’s a good gift to get a geek that’s not like a reject from the island of misfit toys?
