So you have to buy a gift for a lady who likes Batman over Barbie. Tolkien over Twilight. The Eleventh Doctor over Dr. McDreamy. You know that soap set from Bath and Body Works just isn’t going to cut it. Geeky girls need geeky gifts! Which is why I’ve put together a guide to buying the perfect present for the Adama-loving, Carl Sagan-worshipping, comic-book-reading, ladies in your lives.

 

Geek or no, jewelry is a good go-to gift. Map out your love and holiday wishes in binary code.

Put one of these on your lady’s finger—and duck.

Holiday booze is serious affair, however. Give your geek lady the tools to serve drinks with an extra punch.

Rainbows and kitties should bedeck the cover of every nerd girl’s dream journal.

For ladies who have internet on the brain, even in their dreams.
