The Circuit Board Cufflinks

Circuit Board CufflinksAfter being the focus of a photo album, a cigar case, luggage tags, and even Christmas, the mild-mannered circuit board has now entered the world of couture. Gents, if you’re taking your lady friend for a night on the town (and we don’t mean to the nearest Apple Store), consider these circuit board cufflinks. Geeky-yet-classy, they have a silver-plated finish, are ¾” in diameter and even come in a gift box! And if you’re a geek-lovin-lady, we think it’s a great one-of-a-kind birthday present. Available for $75 USD.

Geek Awareness Bracelets

Remember back in the 2004, when it was all about Lance Armstrong’s yellow rubber Livestrong bracelets to benefit cancer research? Even though the trend is passe, that didn’t stop the folks at ThinkGeek from creating a decidedly nerdy version of its own. According to the website, the silicone accessory allows the wearer to promote “geek awareness in every aspect of life.”  The yellow bracelet states: “Tux is my homeboy”, the black one: “ThinkGeek”, and the olive one: “I see fragged people.”  Wear at your own risk, amigos. Available for $2 USD.
