Geek Gift Ideas 2001

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tis-the-season dept.

Once again its time for Slashdot readers to chime in on what they think would make good gift geek christmas presents. Please put approximate prices in the Subject so Santa can more easily decide your gift ;) I'm still stuck for ideas for a few people yet. Of course I'll have to post my ideas anonymously so people don't know what they're getting ;)

  1. the iPod by mosch · · Score: 2, Redundant

    1000 mp3s on your belt, in a tiny, light package that doubles as a firewire hard drive. What more could you want?

  2. iPod! by Ghoser777 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    1000 songs in my pocket (not just my hand) plus an external bootable firewire hardrive with an easy interface and a cool look. drool. Geek gadgets need to be more than one trick horses, and this one definetly has a lot of tricks (even Breakout!). Apple has replaced the limited, undependable floppy drive with the iPod. Brilliant!

    Now if only my parents could scrape up the $399 to get me one, and I'd be set.

    I'll buy my Star Trek-loving girl friend property on the moon. She'll appreciate it.

    Well, of course he'd have to have talked to at least one to know he wouldn't want to again.

  5. Something to relax by loosenut · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Assuming you know a geek or are a geek that is still employed, chances are, you could use something to relieve stress. Here are a few gift ideas in that vein:

    1. A one-hour professional massage. Or a whole day at a spa.

    2. Some nice fresh loose-leaf herbal tea. Tea teaches you patience, and forces you to sit down and relax for a while.

    3. Some yoga or martial arts lessons.

    4. An eighth of an ounce of weed and a blow job.

    Merry xmas!
