Ok, I'll admit it. In fact, I'm proud to say, "I'm a geek!"

I love technology and all the "toys" I can get that can help
my business or let me play more video games.

But I'm not alone! Geeks of all ages join me this holiday
season in eager anticipation of gadgets, gizmos, and games
waiting under the tree.

Please, don't disappoint the geeks in your life. Give them
things that whirr and burp, whine and beep, fly and swerve
before it's too late.

Don't condemn them to another year sulking as they stare at
a new pair of socks or package of buy-1-ge-one-free Hanes
briefs.

It's not too late to save Christmas! These websites promise
to deliver geek-friendly gifts by Christmas if you order
right now.

Video Games!
Video gaming represents a staple in any serious geek's life.

Surviving, thriving, and dominating in the world of bits,
blips and bytes makes for serious geek recreation time.

Whether it's the latest "Gears of War" for Xbox 360,
"Battlefield 2142" for PC, or even a new gaming system like
the surprise hit Nintendo Wii, video games make the perfect
gift.

www.EBGames.com promises delivery by December 25th if you
order no later than noon Central Standard Time on December
21 (continental U.S.), but you'll pay for overnight
shipping. 

EBGames.com offers the popular video gaming consoles and
virtually every available console game know to man or geek.

However, you probably can't get your hands on a Playstation
3.

Always check availability of the game you order and, if in
doubt, call the toll-free number to talk to live person to
avoid disappointment on Christmas morning.

Alternatively, check out Amazon .com for PC games and
software.

Amazon stocks a huge range of shooters, role playing,
adventure, casino and other games.

Amazon guarantees delivery before Christmas if you order
overnight delivery before 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on
December 21, however the item must be in stock in Amazon's
warehouse.

Cool Gadgets
Your geek not into games?

Then check out SharperImage.com for gadgets that make a
geeks little heart go pitter-pat.

Everything from iPod docking stations to car navigation
systems to wireless gaming chairs that vibrate populate the
pages of this perennial favorite.

Known mostly for its pricey gadgets, the main page of the
site offers a budget-friendly link to gifts under $50 which
make excellent stocking stuffers or that "one little extra"
gift.

Must order no later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific on December 21
(U.S. overnight shipping) to have it by December 25.

Gift Cards
Gift certificates from BestBuy.com, CircuitCity.com,
CompUSA.com, Amazon.com and EBGames.com and similar sites
make great gifts!

My mom says gift cards "are impersonal," but my vote says
they keep you from getting something you don't want.

Last Ditch Effort
Find the perfect gift online for your geek. Buy it and
schedule delivery on December 26 or 27.

Print off the web page with the item description as well as
the receipt showing you ordered it and the scheduled
delivery date.

Fold the pages up in a card and give it to your geek with a
big hug. Any real geek will love you just the same and look
forward to the days after Christmas!

Nice article. Sad to say though I got shoes for Christmas. : (
Can’t complain though, with the money my wife and I saved, you’re probably looking at the owner of a brand spanking new revolving tie rack. Gotta love married life.

Thanks Jim! Love your stuff… : )
