To help you geek gals out there with your holiday shopping, we put together some gift suggestions that should make your geek guys happy...

Gift giving to guys falls in two categories:
- Something you would like him to have that he doesn't necessarily thinks he needs. Gifts in the category would be shirts without holes or armpit stains, or perhaps a second fork so you no longer have to share when you do takeout.
- Something the guy actually wants. Gifts in this category would be boobies

If your guy is anything like me (which he probably isn't), I might suggest a G.I. Joe: Baroness resin mini-bust , a subscription to Maxim (you'll enjoy it, too), or possibly Star Blazers - The Quest for Iscandar - The Complete Series I Collection (Episodes 1- 26) DVD.

I'm not going to sit here and try to name one perfect gift for the man in your life. Choosing the right present requires careful strategy. Every man has interests his girlfriend hates. When he starts talking excitedly about video games, for example, you likely tune right out. That's the natural order of things eleven months out of the year, but during the Christmas season, that's when you need to pay attention. For example, every time I see a commercial for the new Prince of Persia game, I say, "Goddamn, that looks awesome! I'd step over my own mother to play that. I have a PS2, by the way." And my girlfriend sort of mumbles in acknowledgment. If I were her, I'd keep up the facade, but I'd file that away in the ol' noggin. The best part is, if you get your boyfriend something he knows you hate, especially if that will mean watching him play even more freaking video games instead of paying attention to you, that's when he knows you really care. Now, if he does play video games but hasn't mentioned anything specific yet, then take my advice: get him Prince of Persia. I'd step over my own mother to play that.

Get your geek guy the Alien Quadrilogy boxset and then display your total, utter commitment by watching all nine discs with him. In a row. Or, if you really want to blow his mind, get yourself a present. Namely, these. He'll never forget his own name for the rest of his life. It's the second-best thing to a Princess Leia Gold Bikini.

I can't speak for most guys, but I know that I'd like from a girl would be for her to buy herself some skimpy lingerie. Of course the problem would be conveying to her exactly what I mean by skimpy. (The home of sexy lingerie since 1946. )
