I started a threa like this a few years ago and got some great suggestions for my Star Wars mad, war hammer playing, comic reading dh. Grin

This year we are skint so are just doing stockings for about £30. So far I've got/ chosen

the authority graphic novel I'm really hoping he doesn't have it already!

this painting station for his models I have given up trying to stem the tide of tiny dwarves etc that keep sneaking into the house! Hmm

And maybe a tshirt. He loves the threadless stuff but I really don't want to spend $9 on a $15 tshirt. So I'm looking for a uk based equivalent.

What is your geeky dh getting this year?

I love the idea of an Arc reactor Tshirt! I'll have to get looking!

A quick google brought back a yearly retro computing event at Plymouth Uni that allows programming or a quick play. It's v short notice though - 17 Dec, free but you have to register first to get in.

Off to look for some iron man cufflinks now Grin

Mine has a geek fuel subscription from kick starter coming (similar to geek box) some geeky tshirts from redbubble and someone else has got him a marvel monopoly game. I saw arc reactor tshirts on thinkgeek.com, am sure I saw them on a uk site too, will rack brain :)

I got mine a batman neon sign for his home office/man cave.

I think I'm more excited about giving him this gift than any I've bought for my DS Smile

NotEvenAnEnormouseStirred · 30/11/2014 20:00

these are the guys I'm getting my custom poster from. They are fantastic, UK based and I've bought from them before

SecretLimonadeDrinker · 30/11/2014 20:48

Love this ideas. Geeky tshirt from ebay shop, Shelton style tee folder. I love you keyring written in binary, Marvel socks and mug.

Suddengeekgirl · 30/11/2014 21:37

Ha ha! Dh already has the arc reactor tshirt Grin

I got it last Christmas for him, and a stark industries one. Will see if I can find it.

We've bought ourselves a joint present of a blu-Ray wifi player so I've just got him a 'Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica' t-shirt.

I'm having our first baby at the beginning of Jan so don't want to go overboard. Plus, he probably already has every bit of Star Wars/Marvel bit of memorabilia in the world.

MrsFionaCharming · 05/12/2014 22:20

So far he's getting a Mobile Emitter (as seen on the Voyager EMH). I'd like to get him a games as well (either Forbidden Island, or the Seafare's Catan Expansion), but I'm concerned he'll get me the same thing!

ItIsntJustAPhase · 05/12/2014 23:14

Monty where are you getting the BBB tee? My DH would LOVE that.

Mylittlepotofjoy · 06/12/2014 15:38

I got a Star Wars storm trooper who is skateboarding tshirt from the hut . Very cool :)

JingleSpud · 06/12/2014 17:45

My geeky DH has got alien isolation, popcorn machine, star wars ultimate ultimate guide, geek box subscription and a batman watch

moonrocket · 07/12/2014 00:06

I saw an amazing star wars tshirt today- it was a "christmas jumper" tshirt, with yoda and lightsabers in "cross stitch"... v amusing.
In forbidden Planet.

StockingFullOfCoal · 07/12/2014 10:50

Several LOTR tshirts from qwertee.com

The Silmarillion special edition hardback (to match the others I've bought him the past 2 years.) from thebookpeople

fuzzpig · 07/12/2014 15:50

Ooh thanks will look at qwertee. DH doesn't have any LOTR t-shirts.

Doesn't matter if it's too late to order for Xmas as his birthday is next month :)

fuzzpig · 07/12/2014 15:54

Ah never mind I see it's a 24hr thing like teefury/teetee! Will keep an eye out though.

Essexgirlupnorth · 07/12/2014 16:02

Mine is getting a kindle a x-wing hoodie from qwertee he dropped large hints about.
His birthday is 5 days after Christmas so need to buy for that too if only I could afford the elbow guitar being sold for MAG.
Was looking at a couple of board games on kickstarter last night but he already has tons of board games

montymonty · 08/12/2014 00:25

itisntjustaphase - I bought it from redbubble.com, just typed in the phrase and a few different designs came up. Use the code wear20 for 20% off!
