Gifts for Geeks – Holiday Gift Guide

As a self professed geek-chic when I decided to put together holiday gift guides I knew immediately that a Geek Guide would be a lot of fun.

Most people when they think about gifting and geeks they immediately think electronics. Electronics are certainly a nice gift (I’ve never turned one away) to give a geek but it’s to be expected. Here are my top picks for the geeks in your life.

Great Gifts for Teens – Holiday Gift Guide

Since I’ve been writing a young adult novel, I’ve really had to cue myself into teens. To use this re-found knowledge and as a little character exercise I thought it would be fun to put together a holiday gift guide with the teenager in mind. If you have a teen in your life and you’re wondering what to get them for Christmas wonder no more! I’ve comprised a list of popular gifts for the teen in a variety of price points, all sure to put a smile on their face (or at least a smirk.)

Best Gifts for Boys – Holiday Gift Guide

As a mother of two boys I never imagined how much fun raising them could be. What did I, the girliest of girls know?

It’s Almost Time…

For my first annual holiday gift guide. I thought this year it would be fun to come up with a gift guide of my own after a few friends emailed me looking for gift ideas.

My gift guide will consist of three different posts:

The first gift guide will be geared towards boys (because I’ve got two of them and often times don’t see guides geared specifically for them).

The second list of holiday selections will be all about teens (because I’m writing a YA novel and have had to put a lot of time into understanding teens today and figured coming up with a holiday gift guide would be a great character exercise.)

My third gift guide will be gifts for geeks (because I am one-and we all to often are neglected when it comes to the holiday gift guides out there.) The posts will be coming in the next couple of days, I’m just tying up loose ends and I hope you come back and see what I’ve selected.

Happy Christmas!

I took this photograph of our little tiny Christmas tree this year. I was going for a vintage theme and it’s sparked a desire in me to begin collecting vintage ornaments (more on that later.)
