In recent years, “nerd” has become cool and geeks have had their revenge. What now? They’re having kids too?! Welcome to the heroic-fantasy world of parents who grew up with Star Wars and Trek, PCs and Macs, BigTracks and Trackpads… and binary code! As Christmas approaches, the urge to find uncommon gifts for baby and for your better half arises. It might be a very useful technology-packed device or a cheap geek paraphernalia – as long as it’s not the mainstream thing. Geeky parents both look for the latest high-tech devices and the most unlikely underground toys. Here’s a selection of both kinds of presents that we grouped by category: you get to decide who’s going to get what!

Mimicking the iPhone’s “There’s an app for that” commercial, the statement on this baby creeper is sure to cause laughter around you. Just don’t be jealous of the extra sleeping time your baby gets during the day.
