13th December 2015Are you struggling with what to buy the geek in your life for Christmas?
(Or maybe you ARE the geek in your life?)
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve been scouring the ‘net and we’ve come up with 8 ideas for fun and interesting gifts that are sure to be a hit with everyone, whether it’s for a partner, family member, or even for yourself!
1. Geeky festive jumper
Well it is Christmas after all!
Some of our particular favourites include the Harry Potter inspired “Merry Christmas ya filthy muggle” sweatshirt, the Dr Who fair isle jumper, and this official Sonic the Hedhehog knitted jumper!
2. Harry Potter studios
Shopping for a Potterhead?
Then why not treat them to a day at the Warner Brothers Harry Potter studio tour!
They’ll get to walk through the iconic set of the Great Hall, sneak into the Gryffindor common room, explore the inner workings of the costume, props and special effects departments, and even get the chance to ride a broom in the green room experience.

3. Netflix giftcard
The beauty of this present is that it suits EVERYONE, no matter their taste.
Pay for a year’s subscription of Netflix and let them dive right into their favourite show, whether it’s Sherlock, Once Upon A Time or a David Attenborough documentary.
You can’t really go wrong!
4. A cooking class at Atelier des Chefs
