Mom’s Favorite Top 10

Only 1 week left until Mother’s Day, and moms can be geeky too. In fact, many of my close geek friends are moms, and I used them as inspiration for this week’s Top 10.

Whether you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift for your mom, wife, girlfriend, daughter, sister, close friend, or even yourself (wink, wink), the following list of items is are perfect additions to her/your geeky collection. If you get one (or more) of these items for her, you may just end up being Mom’s favorite!

10 – Guitar Pick Flower

Does your mom ROCK?! People often think of buying cut flowers for mom on Mother’s Day, but what will she do with the flowers in a week when they’re wilting? Being composed with guitar picks, these flowers are perfect for moms that ROCK, and will not wilt/die on her in a week.

9 – Circuit Board Razor Handle
Geek out in the shower. When you’re a geek (like me), having shower accessories that match your interests sounds amazing. Not to mention that this is the only circuit board that I’ve ever seen that is waterproof!

10 Anime Inspired Gifts for Valentine’s Day

2 Feb

It’s no secret that most of us here at the basement are on Etsy, so when it came to compiling this list I thought there was no better place to find some unique, anime-inspired goods for those special people in your life than on a site dedicated to the art of handmade.

Even if you don’t like the whole commercial side of Valentine’s Day, there’s no denying that it can be fun to give both partners and friends alike a special gift on February 14th.

After all, who needs regular roses when you have Pokeball roses, or a diamond necklace when you have a necklace featuring your favorite anime character?

I Love You More Than Anime Print

This classy print is the perfect gift for the sophisticated anime lover in your life. It allows them to show off their passion for anime in an unexpected way, and makes a great conversation starter.

Anime in Love Pendant

Again, who needs a diamond when you have an anime necklace?

Okay, so maybe a diamond is slightly better than an anime necklace (depending on who you ask), but if you’re looking to give a classy necklace to someone you care about, why not check out this or other picks from Chasidy of AGirlAndHerStuff? If the recipient isn’t into necklaces, they can also use the pendant as a keyring. Continue reading →
