Buying gifts for geeks is easy, you can’t go wrong with Star Wars (episodes 4-6), Star Trek, Battlestar Gallactica or Serenity. Buying a hacker a gift is a bit harder as they are usually quite a bit more discerning. I’ve compiled a list of the best gifts to get for the hacker in your life.
All the following are available on amazon.com mouseover for pricing details.
Books
Books are a timeless gift. They will be appreciated year after year. Whether hardbound, softback or electronic, you can’t go wrong with a good book.
Electronics
What’s to say, hackers like electronics, here’s my favorites for 2010.
Toys
Hackers love things that shoot, explode or require building.
