Top 10 Gifts You Probably Won’t Buy Anyone This Year (But Are Totally Awesome)
December 20, 2016
Each year, we round up the geekiest gifts out there and present them to you, wrapped up in a Star Wars-themed bow. Last year, we solicited your help (thanks again!) but this year, we decided to do something different: we scoured the Internet for the biggest, baddest, geekiest gifts imaginable. Behold, the ultimate holiday geek wish list, still cool even if you don’t buy any of it (from cheapest to most expensive):
- Carbon Fiber Minimalist Slim Wallet & Money Clip with Bottle Opener – Because nothing says minimalist like a bottle opener-clad money clip. [$16.95]
- Molecular Gastronomy Kit – For the gastronomy geek in the group, this kit allows you to experiment with molecular gastronomy in your own kitchen. [$65]
- Tesla Watch – Complete with ornamental winding keys, two faux vacuum tubes with red LEDs inside, and a look that will make people want to ask you for the time (even when they already know it because, well…smartphones) [$69.99]
- Keyboard Waffle Iron – Who says you shouldn’t play (or type) with your food? [$70]
- Harry Potter Comforter – Pick your House (or let the Sorting Hat choose for you) and wear it loud and proud! [$74.99]
- Pico Mobile Wireless Projector – A pocket-sized projector for all of your home theater emergencies. [$199]

- Star Wars Death Star Levitating Wireless Speakers – What better way to listen to the Imperial March than having it blast out from a levitating Death Star? [$212.98]
- ESAVOX Lamborghini Speakers – While the price is buried deep within the site (which is always a good sign), these speakers are a must-have for Lamborghini lovers. [$21,124.85]
- Undersea Aquahoverer – Who doesn’t need a real-life personal submarine, right? [$1,500,000]
