Last-Minute Geek Shopping

Ok, I’ll admit it. In fact, I’m proud to say, “I’m a geek!”

I love technology and all the “toys” I can get that can help my business or let me play more video games.

But I’m not alone! Geeks of all ages join me this holiday season in eager anticipation of gadgets, gizmos, and games waiting under the tree.

Please, don’t disappoint the geeks in your life. Give them things that whirr and burp, whine and beep, fly and swerve before it’s too late.

Don’t condemn them to another year sulking as they stare at a new pair of socks or package of buy-1-ge-one-free Hanes briefs.

It’s not too late to save Christmas! These websites promise to deliver geek-friendly gifts by Christmas if you order right now.

Video Games

Video gaming represents a staple in any serious geek’s life.

Surviving, thriving, and dominating in the world of bits, blips and bytes makes for serious geek recreation time.

Whether it’s the latest “Gears of War” for Xbox 360, “Battlefield 2142” for PC, or even a new gaming system like the surprise hit Nintendo Wii, video games make the perfect gift.

www.EBGames.com promises delivery by December 25th if you order no later than noon Central Standard Time on December 21 (continental U.S.), but you’ll pay for overnight shipping.

EBGames.com offers the popular video gaming consoles and virtually every available console game know to man or geek.

However, you probably can’t get your hands on a Playstation 3.

Always check availability of the game you order and, if in doubt, call the toll-free number to talk to live person to avoid disappointment on Christmas morning.

Alternatively, check out Amazon .com for PC games and software.

Amazon stocks a huge range of shooters, role playing, adventure, casino and other games.

Gift Cards

Gift certificates from BestBuy.com, CircuitCity.com, CompUSA.com, Amazon.com and EBGames.com and similar sites make great gifts!

My mom says gift cards “are impersonal,” but my vote says they keep you from getting something you don’t want.

Last Ditch Effort
