Weren’t floppy disks a cool invention? You could store tons of stuff on them and pop them out at the end of the day so you didn’t waste memory space on your precious computer. USB flash drives are the new floppy disks, except they’re smaller, cooler, and more portable.

They now come in tons of novelty shapes and sizes, because computer geeks like to have fun too. I think one of these puppies would make a cool gift for someone going away to college or someone who just purchased their first computer.

Everyone has someone in their lives who is just impossible to shop for. Either this person already has everything, likes nothing, or has the strangest taste of anyone you’ve ever met. He’s your geek friend. Shopping for his gift does not have to be a chore, however, as there are many awesome gadgets out there that are unique, cooky, and fun, just like your favorite geek.

I have selected a few of my shopper’s guides that I think might help anyone in search of a generic, yet unconventional, gift to purchase for a friend like the one described above. You can’t go wrong with any of the products from: Bobbleheads, Entertaining Coffee Table Books, Gifts for Your Favorite Geek, Keychains (trust me, they’re cool), or Monkeys. This is no laughing matter. Check out the guides. Trust. Holla.
