silverinsanity 11/13/2008 #

My partner's name is Michel. He is a BIG geek and nerd, but I love that! Some of the stuff I've listed might be out of range, but just use it as a guideline of his personality.

  • Magic the Gathering related - he has a collection of cards amounting to thousands of dollars. He has a specific fondness for angel cards.

  • Computer components to supe up his current unit.

  • candy or chocolate - he has a big sweet tooth

  • Size M-L shirts. He likes shirts with web comics on them, or quirky sayings. If it's nerdy, he'd likely like it. He also wears work shirts over t-shirts... so if it's a nice button up shirt, he might enjoy getting that.

  • XBox 360 stuff... something to supe his system, or a new game. He LOVES Halo, though he owns all of them.

  • Things related to Archaeology. He wanted to be one when he grew up, but life took him elsewhere.

  • Things related to electronic engineering. That's what he does, and he can talk for days about the stuff. I just blink and say, that's right dear. He invents thins like computer boards and flashlights, etc. If it's got an LED light attatched to it, he'd likely love to take it apart.

  • Someone who's actually interested in the stock market! Things that can give him pointers, advice, or ideas about the stock market. Again, I just blink, and say that's nice dear.

  • Things related to poker. He's got a chip set, but we never use it. Maybe fancy playing cards or a poker game book or something.

  • Michael Crichton books - or other types of fantasy/history/fiction

  • Transformers related (old, original series if possible)

  • His favourite band is Metallica, but I know he'd love some new music to be introduced to. He enjoys hard rock, metal and punk.

  • Comics and manga - usually more obscure or dark ie - Y the last Man, Sandman, Preacher.

  • Things related to Crown Royal. He likes to drink it with cranberry juice.

  • Obscure games - ie. Munchkin and Settlers of Catan

  • Boy cartoons of the 80s and early 90s related

  • Brain teasers type puzzles. Random trivia books. Things that work his brain.

  • Enjoys TV shows like Family Guy, Simpsons, Robot Chicken.

  • Seriously, anything geeky, or nerdy.

Feel free to message me with questions if you have any!!

silverinsanity 11/13/2008 #

Adding,

  • Dragon Ball

My sweetie's name is Ian. He's a secretly super geeky history major who dresses like a lumberjack and enjoys playing air guitar just a little too much...and he would love:

  • some fancy hot chocolate packets
  • anything related to WW II (he's obsessed)
  • a classic rock mix cd or mixtape
  • a wool hat for a giant head, seriously, giant.
  • something to help him practice his german
  • a pack of cigarettes from your neck of the woods (lucky strikes if you're in the US, or an international surprise, he'd love that)
  • cookie crisp (we can't get it here)
  • an alternate history novel (used is A-OK)
  • a neat scarf
  • boxer briefs size L (good idea @crochetjunkie )
  • ok, this one is wierd but if anyone can find sensitive teeth toothpaste in a flavour other than mint, that would be amazing...
  • cool local candies
  • anything daschund
  • a book about trivia, anything trivia related (used is fine)
  • a non-flannel plaid shirt (thrifted's great) size L
  • a funny t-shirt size L
