Gifts For (Female) Sheldon Cooper Fans

4/16/2015

If you're a woman and a Sheldon Cooper fan (like me) then you know exactly what you want for Christmas. In my case that would be the wildly popular Star Wars LEGO Death Star. My husband laughs because I never want jewelry or flowers but instead go bonkers over anything technology or Sci-fi or LEGO!

However it's not always easy to shop for us girl geeks so I thought I would put together a little list of ideas for the nerds in your life who (like me) who love Sheldon Cooper and The Big Bang Theory.

Really, it's not too hard to figure us out...just be sure to stick to the list. Don't get us fizzy bath balls or high heel shoes or diamond earring or flowers, yuck, yuck, yuck. Seriously. We girl geeks would much rather have something of the electronic or LEGO variety.

True story - A couple of years ago my husband got me an iPod shuffle for my birthday (w00t!). A few of my friends we perplexed that I didn't want flowers...flowers die, but I'm still using my iPod!

Get The Complete First Season of The Big Bang Theory - even if you're not a geek like me : )

The Big Bang Theory: Season 1

See your favorite geek guys (and girls) in action for the first season of The Big Bang Theory. Penny moves in and Leonard is smitten. Will he succeed in wooing Penny? This first season is delightful even for people who have seen the entire series.

Go back to those innocent first meetings and enjoy.

Get More of The Big Bang Theory on DVD - Of course!

Any self respecting female Sheldon Cooper fan is going to want to own The Big Bang Theory on DVD so that she can view old episodes anytime she wants. No question.

I actually went on Big Bang Theory overload one night and watched the entire 3rd season, now that's dedication! You can now get up to Season 7 on DVD. That's a lot of geek time my friends!

Be sure to have a Big Bang Theory themed party too, your friends (both geek and not geek) will appreciate your effort and hospitality. Just be sure to serve plenty of Sheldon friendly food.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star - I really want one of these! Seriously.

With 3,803 pieces this sucker is for hard core Star Wars fans (like me). It's a definite hit for any Sci-Fi fan who wants to spend hours toiling away at building one of the coolest space stations ever.

This LEGO set is the ultimate find and will make a great show piece for your LEGO Star Wars collection. And you can brag to your friends about how cool you are for having it.

The Klingon Dictionary

I'm actually more of a Star Wars girl then a Star Trek one but from what I've heard there are quite a few woman out there who love Star Trek and playing Klingon Boggle and that they are quite good at it.

This has huge "geek" alert written all over it so I'm not sure I'd actually get this for your girlfriend unless you are absolutely positive that she wants one or wants to play Klingon Boggle with you and your friends.
