November 28, 2013 Pamela Geek Deals, Geek Girl Life 0

(now with added alliteration)

The holidays are almost upon us! No matter which winter holiday you’re celebrating, your favorite fangirls have got your back. Here’s our guide to buying nifty gifts for the geek in your life.

We always celebrate Geekmas by burning an effigy of Cyclops, offering up the tears of angry fanboys to Cthulhu, and getting drunk while watching The Avengers.

Before we get to our picks, we wanted to share some good deals and sales! Black Friday is nigh, and we want you to get the best stuff for the best price.

You can get 20% off orders over $40 at ThinkGeek! Use the code BLACKMAGIC when you check out.
This deal is good through 11:59 pm ET 11/30/13.

Mental Floss is having a 30% off everything in the store sale! This starts Thursday November 28 and ends Sunday December 1st at 11:59pm PST. Use the code FLOSSYFRIDAY to get the discount.

50% off tons of new items at ModCloth! This sale runs from 12pm PST Thursday November 28 through 9pm PST on December 1st.

Over at Busted Tees, all $20 t-shirts are currently $14 when you use the code 14TEES Not sure on the end date for this one, but it’s a pretty good deal. They have a lot of clever plays on pop culture stuff. And they have a t-shirt with Mr. DNA from Jurassic Park. Aw yeah.

And now… our gift guide! Click the pics to take a closer look, and click the link in the caption to go to the product page. Happy holidays!

perdita00′s RedBubble store You can grab t-shirts, gadget cases, prints and more featuring her adorably geeky artwork. We love this Kaylee-as-a-strawberry Firefly print, and we also adore the Firefly/Jurassic Park mashup (curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!)	Game of Thrones Dragon Egg Canister Khaleesi’s cookie jar of choice. The Game of Thrones fans will recognize this jar, and the philistines who don’t like the show will wonder why the heck you keep your chocolate chip cookies in a weird, green thingie.
Marvel Comics Avengers Propaganda Poster Set We love The Avengers. I mean love. And now we can plaster our walls with them in the form of these awesome propaganda-style posters. To be honest, we’d buy the set just to get that Black Widow and Hawkeye poster.	Star Wars Tauntaun Sleeping Bag They smell better on the outside. Well, this one smells okay on the inside as long as you don’t stink when you get in it. If you’re like me and pretended you were a Jedi stuck on the ice planet of Hoth (not just as a kid; I did this last week), you might as well go all the way and get a tauntaun sleeping bag.
Frostbeard Handcrafted Nerdy Candles & Pottery How can you say no to candles that smell like old books and bookshops? You can’t. Lovely smelly things for your favorite bookworm.	TARDIS Mug It doesn’t make the VWORP VWORP VWORP sound, but it looks pretty awesome. And it has a lid to keep your tea warm! Tea might regenerate 13 times inside the mug, but results are not guaranteed.
Because… Boomerangs Never question Clint Barton’s trick arrow choices, Katie-Kate. We love this shirt featuring a panel from Matt Fraction and David Aja’s amazing Hawkeye comic book.	Adagio Teas Fandom Blends — Adagio Teas – Free Shipping with $25 Purchase through December 24th!
BMO Acrylic Cup with Straw One of the things that amuses us about learning new languages is the gendering of common nouns. What is it about a French chair that makes it feminine? Why is a Spanish blueberry masculine, but a strawberry feminine? It really makes no sense. BMO just giggles about such things. What does she think about gender? It’s hard to tell what he thinks. It just is Beemo. And now you can drink from BMO! Product Specifications Acrylic cup for fans of Adventure Time Officially licensed Adventure Time collectible Capacity: 20 ounces Materials: Acrylic, BPA free. (from ThinkGeek)	Hand-Painted Star Trek Uniform Bra So your boobs can boldly go where no woman has gone before. Available in your choice of color/insignia, this one might be a better belated holiday gift, since the Etsy seller is currently on vacation.
Bishop is my Business Another We Love Fine tee, this one featuring all of the major components of Hawkeye (Kate Bishop, that is) according to Pizza Dog.)	Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist by Tim Federle Buy from: ModCloth or Amazon
Kaiju Hunting Permit Sticker Make sure you’re legally licensed to hunt kaiju before hopping in your jaeger. Pick up this Pacific Rim fan-made sticker from kingUgo at RedBubble.	Hawkeye & his Girls charm bracelet This fan-created bracelet is absolutely adorable and manages to adorably encapsulate Hawkeye’s love life troubles.
Harry Potter House Robe No, sadly not a wizarding robe, but this is a pretty awesome bathrobe for the Harry Potter fan in your life, at least if that fan is a Gryffindor. Your favorite Slytherin will have to be disappointed this year, but hopefully the other houses will be available at ThinkGeek soon.	Stand Back Boys It’s no secret that we’re ridiculously huge Avengers fans. And we love Black Widow. Seeing as we also love cute things, a tee with a cute Black Widow taking charge and kicking ass is perfection.
Julep Maven Box Subscription Ahhh nail polish. We love getting creative with our nails, and if your favorite geek girl (or guy, we don’t judge) loves polish, buy them a Maven subscription! They get a box of awesome beauty stuff every month, and you can even get the first month free if you use the code FREEBOX.	Star Wars Chewbacca Robe I couldn’t figure out how to type wookiee sounds, but you get the picture. If you need to be warm and nerdy, this is the bathrobe for you.
Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh We’ve all been reading Allie’s webcomic since the beginning, and this is on all three fangirls’ wishlists.	Spider Woman Sandwich Babydoll Hey Hulk, make us a sandwich, too.
I Am Ms Marvel So Carol isn’t Ms Marvel anymore (Captain Marvel, heyo) and this isn’t the new Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan’s getup, but it’s a classic!	Totoro Leggings Say it with me: “AAAAAAA!” These are insanely cute, and this Etsy shop has tons of other adorable and awesome leggings.
