Bust out your pen and notepad, today's topic requires a little bit of homework.
Do you have a friend that is patient? The kind of person that understands the value of of something even if its functionality takes a bit of time to see any returns on? Well, here's a fun little gift idea I know they'll enjoy. This holiday, buy them tickets to an event that you know will warm their hearts.
All throughout the year, large tours and conventions spring up all across the country which are catered directly towards those who have a certain fondness for all things nerdy. There are conventions like San Diego Con and Dragon Con, big movie events like Fantastic Fest, and even museum tours for Harry Potter and Star Trek. If you are fortunate enough to live in a big city and have the cosmos align perfectly for you, then there may be something happening near your hometown this December, for everyone else, there's the internet. Most of these large scale events are telegraphed months (sometimes even a year) in advance, meaning that you can buy tickets now for something that won't be around until November of next year. So go ahead and figure out what they would be interested in, find a place where you can get the tickets and purchase them now while they are cheap and available. Come this time next year, your friend will be glad you put so much thought and care into their gift. As a minor caveat make sure you supplement this gift with something they actually can use on Christmas day; the last thing you need is a daily reminder of how you got them "nothing" for Christmas for the next 11 months.
