My sister wandered by my office the other day, which could only mean one Thing: she has zero idea what I want for Christmas. It's not her fault. Every family has that one person who's impossible to buy for. In my family, it's me.

It's not because I'm picky. I like almost everyThing. My problem is that I never have been able to wait for Christmas. And now that I'm a grown up, I don't have to! I can buy whatever I want (within reason) whenever I want to. It's the best part of this whole 'adult' Thing. That and eating ice cream for breakfast.

Here's my best advice for getting a great gift for geeks: think small. If your cousin is a Dr. Who fan, chances are she already has a scale model (or full size) Tardis. But does she have a full set of DW ornaments? Maybe not.

After watching my sister try to circle around the subject for more than a little while, I let her off the hook. These cool tiny laser guns came in last week, but I haven't even had a chance to play with one yet, let alone buy them. So, I'm letting her get them for me. Sort of my gift to her. (But don't tell her I said that!)

See you next week,
Bobby
