Here’s a list of nerdy gifts you can give to your lightsaber-wielding, TARDIS-travelling, book-loving, hippogriff-riding, Uruk-hai-slaying partner this Christmas.
Christmas is just around the corner and you may be getting stressed because of all the gifts you need to buy, especially for your special someone who happens to be a big nerd. It’s a challenge because the term “nerd” encompasses a lot of stuff: a book nerd, a Potterhead, a Star Wars fan—take your pick. If you’re a little stumped, we’ve got you covered. Here are some nerdy gifts you can give to your special someone this Christmas.

Nerdy gifts for your special nerd this Christmas
A ring inspired by Edgar Allan Poe
Whether this gift is more appropriate for Halloween or Christmas is up for debate but everyone can agree that your literary-obsessed partner will love it. It’s subtle, pretty, and a reminder that your beating heart will forever haunt should they ever choose to hide your body underneath the floorboards.
A worn-out leather journal
Every adventurer needs a proper journal. Feel like Nathan Drake or Arhtun Morgan with this incredibly beautiful leather journal that you can fill with drawings of artefacts or legendary game that you hunted—or y’know random shower thoughts like “What does the colour purple taste like?”
Merch from the newly-opened Nintendo store here in Bangkok
Now that Bangkok officially has its very own Nintendo store, you can now buy official merch from there. You can easily opt for a Switch and a handful of games but why not throw on an adorable Toad plushie for your equally adorable nerd?
3rd Floor, Siam Paragon, 991/1 Rama I Road
An M4 Max-powered MacBook Pro
If the nerd in your life is a content creator or video producer then there’s no better gift than making their lives easier with the new powerful and incredibly speedy MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip. Because their work is so much faster with their new hardware, they get to spend more time with you. You’re welcome.
A ticket to one of Critical Role’s live shows in Australia
This is perhaps the closest the crew of Critical Role will ever be so if your special someone is a fan then now is the time. Two shows will be held in two different cities, Sydney and Melbourne, and this will be their very first time Down Under. Who knows when they’ll be back so just buy the tickets, hold your breath, and roll.
A cat widing a dinoswaur bwanket

It’s a cat widing a dinoswaur bwanket. Whod doesn’t want a cat widing a dinoswaur bwanket.
A ticket to Harry Potter: Visions of Magic
Explore some of the most magical places in the Wizarding World at Sentosa in Singapore. Delve into the Pensieve, buy some dark artefacts at Knockturn Alley, or call to order the Order at Grimmauld Place. Make your Potterhead happy and take them on a magical trip.
A bookshelf
You’ve tried telling your bookworm partner to stop buying books but if you’ve been with them long enough, you know it’s useless. Since they’re not going to stop, give them a bookshelf so they have more space to store their books. Is this enabling them in their addiction? Yes, but really, what else can you do?
A Harry Potter fitted sheet
Show off your school pride and adorn your bed with the Hogwarts coat of arms and the symbol of every house. Whether you’re a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, rep all the houses whenever you snooze with this sheet.
