Ever try shopping for that geeky friend who's got every limited-edition collectible under the sun? It can feel like navigating a labyrinth of fandoms—Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Pokémon—each with enough merchandise to fill a small warehouse. And yet, picking the right present still feels like a high-stakes puzzle. You can't just grab any old figurine off the shelf; chances are they've already got three versions of it (including the glow-in-the-dark variant you didn't even know existed). It's not that geeks are hard to please; it's that their tastes are so lovingly curated. They know what they're into, and they've probably stayed up late scrolling through countless convention exclusives.
This year, our Nerdy Holiday Gift Guide aims to help you rise to the challenge. We've gathered a mix of finds that even your super-fandom friends might not have snagged yet—gifts that'll score you some serious geek cred.
