I hate malls.

There, I said it. I hate them the way Harry Potter hates Death Eaters. Or the way Frodo hates Sauron.*

(*See what I did there? I just introduced the theme of this week’s gift guide! Sneaky as a sneakoscope.)

I hate traipsing around in winter boots in overheated and overcrowded malls at Christmastime. I hate the junky, rage-inducing holiday pop music being piped in. Go ahead: play Mariah One. More. Time. I dare you.

I AM a big fan of getting holiday shopping done early and painlessly. And I’m willing to bet that you are too. To this end, I have rounded up some of my top gift picks, all conveniently purchasable on the INTERNET! *Cue Hallelujah Chorus*

Today’s gift guide is dedicated to the people on your list who love nothing more than to get into a five-hour fandom conversation. Or the people who can’t help but make science puns. Or the people who are silently correcting my grammar. (Please know that I hesitate every time I start a sentence with « and ». The struggle is real.)

UPDATED!

I was approached by the lovely Vanessa of Veelightful, who asked if I might be interested in including some of her… get this… nerdy bath products (yes, you read that correctly)! I asked if she’d be willing to offer one of YOU a free product and she said YES!

I think Veelightful’s products would make perfect stocking stuffers. They are reasonably priced and will definitely make people chuckle. 🙂

Now we venture into my personal favourite section of this guide: the Harry Potter paraphernalia! First up I chose some Deathly Hallows charms. These come with different finishes and chain options, and are very reasonably priced.

General science-y stuff is always appreciated by the nerd set. I know a couple of people on my list who would love these molecular wine glasses.
