All geeks will reliably take pleasure in general technology and paraphernalia for their favorite hobby or interest. The latter category of gifts for geeks requires a certain amount of knowledge about the movies, video games, books, or television programs the person is into. Even just a general category or genre can be enough to find a good gift.
For instance, if the geek in your life is into science fiction, one easy step is to scour the bestseller list for a highly recommended new book in that genre. If the person has read that book already, or you're in need of more than one book, research the book a little on a bookseller's website and check out related products or recommendations from user reviews.
If you have more specific knowledge of the geek's interests, like zombies, for instance, the shopping becomes a little easier. There are a number of popular books out related to zombies, including mock survival guides, satirical Christmas carols, and classic novels with zombies written in.
When it comes to movies, television shows, or video games, again, there is a vast amount of paraphernalia associated with almost every geek's favorite. Posters are always a nice touch, but don't necessarily limit yourself to domestic posters. International movie one-sheets have a great variety of composition styles.
For more expensive gifts ideas, boxed DVD sets of a geek's special television show are always appreciated. Likewise, busts and statues of favorite comic book characters are a great touch to any geeks bedroom or apartment.
Gadgets and technology-related gifts are a good fallback if ideas are running short. If there's not much money in the present budget, some new headphones are always nice, as is a stylish Mp3 player case. If the gifts for geeks are going to be really expensive, consider a netbook, e-book reader, or multi-media mp3/video player.
