It’s the final countdown. Christmas is nearly here and you’re freaking the eff out. Don’t fret. I’ve got three things for all the nerds on your list that:
1. don’t need to ship
2. can be purchased anywhere you are connected to the internet
3. will be loved by girl and boy nerds alike
Whether it’s improving their home computer, getting games delivered to their mailbox or just doubling up on their spectacle options, you’ll be loved if you buy one of these. Here we go!
1. GameFly: Gaming is an incredibly expensive hobby, but nothing says, “I’m an awesome gift-giver!” like a monthly payment to subsidize your loved-ones gaming addiction. It starts as little as $7.95 per month. Plus, if they play a game and love it: they can buy it for a reduced price.
2. Vintage-Inspired Spectacles: Daily Candy is offering a complete pair of prescription glasses from LookMatic for only $44. I’m serious, that’s the frames AND the lenses. All you do is buy it up and look for: “gift this” at checkout. It looks exactly like the image at left. Then, it’ll prompt you to gift it to a friend. You can also get them as sunglasses! Any vision-impaired friend would appreciate the thought!
3. Software: Sometimes the difference between a great computer and a mediocre one is the software available. Lifehacker has the same idea and compiled a list of apps that you can buy for your friends and family on PCs that they might find helpful for increasing their productivity with programs like DVDRipper and Display Fusion.
