Let's face it: if there's a sci-fi geek in your life that means a lot to you, then you know how this time of year can be a real headache when it comes to finding unique geeky gifts. Sure, there are plenty of sci-fi pop culture goodies out there in stores, but our beloved nerds deserve better than yet another light saber, even if it is a different color.

We at DVICE know your pain so we've assembled a list of classic sci-fi geek gadgets that are sure to knock some nerd socks off, let alone inspire that singular nostalgia us nerdy folk crave. Click Continue to get this party started.

Jezzabel is a senior cat - 17 years old and she is hoping someone out there will offer her a quiet, peaceful place to call her own. All she asks is a cosy place to sleep and someone to love her. She could live with another cat but not a dog.

Pansy is a 13 year old DSH who needs a cosy retirement home. She would be happy to live with another cat and would love her new domain to have a cat flap so she can go outside as the mood takes her.

Pepsi is an 8 year old GSD cross who would love a new home where there is someone there for most of the day. She'd happily live in a family with teenagers but would like to be the only dog so she can get all the attention for herself. She loves people and will make a loving companion.
