Chris is an official college graduate now, and when the semester was winding down I knew I had to get him a gift. He’s not one for overly fanciful things, or even things in general, so shopping can be a bit trying. When the only ideas he could give me were for silly books I knew I had to start thinking outside of the box. And then I remembered: Think Geek!

I hadn’t been to the shop in ages, but if there’s anything Chris loves it’s Rubik’s cubes, and I would’ve bet my life they’d have some sort of alternative cube. I seriously wasn’t ready for this, though. Behold: the Irregular IQ Cube!

This thing is insane. I thought it’d give Chris something to tickle his brain with now that school’s out forever, not to mention the fact that he has mastered the normal cube to the point where it must be a bit of a bore now. He’s perplexed and determined all the same– a sign that I picked the right gift. There’s one more nerdy part to his brain-tickler graduation gift, but it hasn’t arrived yet so my lips are sealed!

Of course, I couldn’t leave with just that. I hadn’t been to Think Geek in so long, I forgot what amazing things they have to offer the repressed nerd in us all. Honestly, I could empty my whole bank account in one fell swoop. I managed to only buy myself one thing, the Atomic Tupperware set. They’re fantastic! Dishwasher / Microwave safe, and they nest for easy storage. My kinda tupperware!

Holding back didn’t do a whole lot of good, because the next time I go back I know I’m just gonna burst! I built up quite a shopping list…

I would’ve easily dropped $40 on a “What the Frak?” hoodie, had the smalls been in stock.

And, while we’re on the subject of the best SciFi television show ever, my dream home will have these sprinkled along the walls, framed and matted of course!

With the Equal Measure cup, I can satisfy both my geeky and foodie desires. Two birds, one stone!

Needs no explanation. Every home should have one of these.

And then, of course, the t-shirts. Sweet Jesus, the t-shirts!

Like I said: my whole bank account!
