2. 3D Star Wars Starfighter Kites. What is better than a geek flying a kite? A geek flying a 3D Star Wars Starfighter kite, of course. Your geek will put the kite together with his/her own hands and it couldn’t be easier. Choose from the X-Wing, Tie Fighter or Millennium Falcon. $39.99.

3. Lilliput Mini USB Monitor. Has your geek been longing for a second monitor to use with her computer? Is the geek’s workspace so crowded that there just isn’t room for that second monitor?

Your geek will be the happiest geek ever. $99.99.

4. Gadget Shoulder Holster. Your geek wouldn’t be the geek he is without all of those gadgets he carries everywhere. No doubt he’s got phones, MP3 players and no telling what else.

He’ll feel positively dashing with his gadgets strapped to his body, and you will love being seen in public with him at last. $49.99.

5. USB LED Beverage Cooler. What better way to personalize your geek’s cubicle than with this one can fridge? Your geek will be able to keep her beverage icy cold using this little fridge in the cube. The fact that it works via USB is a big geeky plus. $19.99.
