Hello my dear geeks. I need help with a birthday present for my geeky husband.

[This Year's Girl]

Hello.

This is my husband

(can you guess what movie he's imitating - very well I might add - here? 😉)

He likes DC comics, me, really big hamburgers, Kate Bush, the big bang theory (think of him as the very not at all extreme version of sheldon 🙂), Science fiction, dead european white guys and the books they wrote, oblivion, Evil dead 3 and movies by Woody Allen.

And yeah.... I don't like none of those things, except me. 🙂 So, he's birthday's coming up. What should I get him? 🙂 He's turning 27, but he acts like.... not 27, lol. I would really appriciate help from people who knows anything in any of the areas he like. 🙂 It would be fun to surprise him with something geeky.


And don't get it twisted, I'm a geek too, not just in the same fields as he is. 😀

First of all: I love the picture, like really! 😀

The first idea that pops into my mind is to make him a little Sheldon-like book or something full of facts about things he likes, expressed in a Sheldon way.

A bit like in this:

That's sort of geeky and special for him 😀

Edit: or to be even more personal, you can make facts about him, or you two as a couple, and call it The Sheldon love book 😀

 

[This Year's Girl]

Lol! "for spike, running after buffy is a full time job".

Thanks for the idea! I like it a lot! I just have to see if I could find out stuff he doesn't know. 😀 He get's really in to the stuff he likes and learns like everything about them. I bet if I made a book it would end up with him correcting me. Like in that cute way Wes corrects people I mean, lol.

Ms.Trick agrees: I just edited my post: you can also make facts about him, like you know if he makes a lot of pictures like the Pig King, I bet you can find loads of funny facts to make an album with it

Great idea! Thanks! That would be a really thoughtful present.

Does he have an XBox 360? He might like Left 4 Dead 1 & 2.

I got this recently, [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/DC-Comics-Chronicle-Alan-Cowsill/dp/1405350806/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294359217&sr=8-4[/ame] It's pretty sweet. Charts the 75 years of DC comics, all the comics, big moments etc. Only thing is, it led to me spending ridiculous money on classic comics 😀.

If he likes dead white european guys, I would recomend these two books I have and they're amazing!

My friend, who is also kinda geeky, got this book for Christmas:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Geektionary-Anime-Zettabyte-Guide-Things/dp/1440511144/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294414054&sr=1-1"]http://www.amazon.com/Geektionary-Anime-Zettabyte-Guide-Things/dp/1440511144/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294414054&sr=1-1[/ame]

And if he doesn't have, have you considered buying complete seasons of The Big Bang Theory? 🙂

Is he imitating the Lion King? One of my favourite films. Reminds me of that.

 

[This Year's Girl]

Thank you guys for all of your help! I really like all of your suggestions, so it's going to be hard to choose. I found some great stuff on the websites you recommended me too! But far to many things are for me, not him. Lol.

And yeah, about the picture. It's the lion king! 😀 And he's holding a chihuahua 😀

How much can we spend? 🙂

How much can we spend? 🙂

Well, we're just a poor student, but we can spend somewhere around 800 swedish kronors, which is about 115 dollars according to the currency converter. 🙂
