Christmas gifts that do not look like a duty
Nerds recognise a token gift from ten metres away. A gift that lands takes up the subject someone burns for, and does it in a way not everyone understands. This page shows the Christmas gifts from our own development: designs we drew ourselves and products that exist only here. That is the difference from merchandise the birthday nerd from last summer may already own.
What belongs under the tree
A shirt is the classic nerd gift, because the design does the work: a joke from computer science, a formula from physics or a nod to a series says more than any card. Add mugs for the office, tin signs for the workshop and decor that turns a desk into a statement. If you give several small things at Christmas, combine a shirt with something to put on display. And if you have no idea what someone is into, pick a design about being a nerd itself.
The right size and the right time
With shirts, go one size up rather than down; a shirt that is too tight is never worn. Our size charts are on every product page. We ship within 24 hours; in December it is still worth allowing a little buffer for the parcel service. And if you cannot decide between two designs: the Nerd Lexicon explains what is behind them, and that usually settles it.
