Below, we’ve put together some of this year’s best geek gifts, sure to please even the pickiest of recipients.
Game of Thrones Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons ornament
Game of Thrones fans would never say no to a Mother of Dragons ornament. And if they do, then they’re not really fans. It’s that simple.
Available at RetroFestive, $24.99
In-ear waterproof headphones
It’s doubtful that someone wants to go swimming with their earbuds in, but at least these headphones are waterproof. That means you’ll be able to sweat excessively without any problem, or go running along the shoreline without a care in the world. Or hey, go swimming if you’d like.
Available at Best Buy, $69.99
PlayStation VR
Being able to play a game, and be completely immersed in it, is every gamer’s dream. Better to seize on this as soon as possible, because these are selling like hotcakes at the moment. (Note: While you can technically use the VR system without a PlayStation 4, you’re limiting the capabilities of the headset. It’s recommended you use both in conjunction.)
Available at PlayStation.com, $479.99 (bundle) or $299.99 (standalone headset)

The coolest little gift for all the comic-book fans out there.

Available at RetroFestive, $49.99
Iron Man wireless gaming mouse
It looks like Iron Man’s helmet, but it’s actually a mouse! Its LED eyeholes glow while it’s connected to power. Gain additional nerd cred: This is a limited-edition product.

Merge VR Holographic Cube
At first, this seems like a very confusing product, but rest assured a child can use it. In fact, it’s meant for kids to use in conjunction with a phone.
