A geek ideally loves to show-off his collection of gadgets, which probably explains why an iPod is more preferred than an external hard drive when it comes to attractive gifting items. Yes, there are other geeks who are more concerned with the functionality aspect of a gadget and pay scarce attention to looks. Whatever their preference, there are umpteen Gadgets and Gear that you can gift to a geek.
One of the most basic and yet useful gadgets is an attractive wireless mouse for a computer. The wireless nature makes it very functional and its carry-around nature is very handy. Most mice these days come with very attractive designs and some can even be bought with a hint of personalization. Examples include pink colored mice for women and mice painted in popular team colors for men. Do not forget that there are many geeks who love their sport.
Headphones are among the most stylish and useful Gadgets and Gear. Everybody loves a cool set of headphones that sound great too. While the iconic white headphones bundled with iPods look great, they don’t score very high when it comes to functionality. IEMs (In Ear Monitors) are a far better bet as they are not only more comfortable but also tend to have better sound quality and noise isolation than normal headphones. These headphones also possess good quality cabling and an overall great build that makes them handy during exercise.
Geeks love the ability to control multiple gadgets from a single device. A good example would be a universal remote. Gadgets and Gear like that help manage multiple devices like a computer, a home theatre setup or a television. They also like their gadgets to be interconnected. Examples include browsing the internet over home Wi-Fi, or streaming movies to a tablet from a desktop PC or even using a single monitor for multiple uses like TV viewing, console gaming and of course, regular desktop activities. Other examples of gadgets that can be gifted to geeks include portable music players, tablets, PC peripherals, portable speakers, universal chargers, watches, tech and RC toys.
