12 Cheap And Useful Gifts For The Nerd In Your Life
V Threepio

If you're like me and your whole family and group of friends is composed of a bunch of nerds, you might have trouble knowing what, exactly, to get them. I like to get people something they can actually use and not just look at, so I've compiled a few nerdy AND useful gifts that are within your budget.


1. These cute cookie cutters for a Star Wars fan.

These gingerbread cookie cutters are currently $7.99. One side cuts out the shape, and the other side impresses the design. Step up your gingerbread man game.

2. This TARDIS mug for your favorite Whovian.

"A mug for a time-traveler!" Unfortunately, this mug is NOT bigger on the inside than on the outside. It's $8.99 right now, and looks just like a 1950's British police box.

3. This Spock oven mitt for your Trekkie dad.

This is a great gift for your favorite nerdy baker. This oven mitt is on sale for $11.99 right now. Live long and prosper!

4. This 4-pack of composition notebooks for the Harry Potter fan who's still repping.

These composition books are perfect for labs, so you can feel like you're studying Potions when you're in Chem lab. This 4-pack is $9.99 and includes all four houses!

5. This Baby Groot cutting board for the Marvel fan in the house.

This wooden cutting board has Baby Groot's adorable little face on it. It's currently on sale for $4.99, so get it while you can!

6. This Batman card wallet with a money clip for the rich DC fan you know.

This card wallet has three card slots and a money clip on the back. Although they couldn't hold a fraction of Bruce Wayne's riches, they can hold the $4.99 it costs to buy one of these bad boys. They also have an Aquaman one, a The Flash one, and a Wonder Woman one in case Batman isn't your thing.

7. This wall calendar for the one who never shuts up about Game of Thrones.

"I drink and I know when winter is coming." This 2018 calendar is currently on sale for $9.99. It features 12 different characters.

8. This Suicide Squad pint glass for all your harlequin drinking needs.

This pint glass has black and white headshots, holds 16 ounces, and is on sale for $4.99. Get it quick!

9. This Poké Ball pizza cutter for the one who's gotta catch 'em all.

This super cute pizza cutter is dishwasher safe, and the blade is completely detachable. It's on sale for $4.99, so get it for someone who loves Pokémon and pizza (who doesn't?).

10. This holiday-themed Legend of Zelda mug for the 8-bit fanatic.

This adorable Legend of Zelda mug features an 8-bit Link in a holiday scene. It's on sale for $6.99! There's a Super Mario Bros one as well!

11. This Nintendo Game Boy notebook with a holographic screen.

It looks just like the real thing! It's about the same size as one, too! Get this notebook for only $7.99.

12. This stemless wine glass with ethanol molecules on the side.

You can study the effects of ethanol on your body with this wine glass. It's 21 ounces, so it can hold almost an entire bottle of wine. The chemistry-nerd-wine-enthusiast in your life will love this one, and it's only $9.99!


Whether or not you've found the perfect gift, hopefully this list has given you some good ideas. These are a great way to say happy holidays to the nerds in your life!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
