If you’re feeling really lazy or uninspired, the best two places to go to for some one stop geeky Christmas shopping are Emerald City and Culture & Thrills. Emerald City is huge and has a great variety of items. It most likely has whatever it is you’re looking for. If you don’t really know what it is you’re looking for, then Culture & Thrills will have something really cool and unexpected that you’re not going to see at most places. Godspeed & Happy Holidays.
