Yep, it’s that time of the year again (what, you hadn’t noticed?) and we’re all expected to rush around like mad people buying things that we’re not sure of, for people we don’t really know that well. Well, maybe we do know them, but maybe not as well as they hope, otherwise how do you explain all those pairs of socks and bottles of cheap perfume in bottom drawers? So we thought we’d jump in and offer a little help if you’re struggling to come up with the perfect gift for the geek in your life. Tshaw…aren’t we grand?

2. Star Wars R2D2 Interactive Money Bank – $48.19

Slot your Android or iPhone smartphone into the top of this puppy, and he’ll happily store and secure your stuff against intruders and young siblings.
