Ravenous Winter Festival Geeky Shopping Guide. Day 3: Memorabilia


Who wants a stupid "Halo" video game when you can get a coffee mug with Commander Chief's mug on it? When you are out of money or looking to get a secondary gift to compliment the one you've already purchased, why not got for a charming souvenir?

Thanks to the miracle of disposable income, people just can't seem to keep money in their pockets these days. Companies, being the clever green eyed devils they are, have quickly pounced on this opportunity to supply a nearly endless wave of merchandise for the world to consume. Your friend may consider themselves to be the biggest "Lord of the Rings" fan on the planet, but do they have the chibi Frodo t-shirt? What about the Gimli stein? Didn't think so.

People in general (nerds especially) obsess over their hobbies and interests. Why not feed that insatiable desire by giving them yet another piece of collectible merchandise or apparel. This year, give them the underwear that shows to the world just how much they love "Star Wars" or "World of Warcraft". Or keep their dignity in tact and buy them a themed lunchbox instead; your call.

(Fans of "Calvin and Hobbes" do not apply)
