Hard to top all the excellent gift ideas my fellow nerds of a feather have already suggested, but in case you need some last-minute ideas, here goes...

1. Kindle Voyage/Paperwhite or Kobo Aura
At $99, the Paperwhite is an incredible value. The Voyage,
meanwhile, is arguably just a
dressed up Paperwhite at twice the price. However, the higher resolution
and better backlighting do make a difference to those who, like me, suffer from
chronic headaches/migraines. I mean, that’s why I bought a dedicated e-reader in the
first place—to be easier on the eyes—so if that’s a priority, and you plan
to use the thing a lot, it makes sense to spend a little more to get the one that best fits your
needs. For those wary of getting sucked into the Amazon ecosystem, the Kobo
Aura also has a great reputation.

2. True Detective: Season One Blu-Ray
The Best Show Ever, says two random guys you should
definitely listen to. And at under $20, the DVD edition is practically a steal (you'll spend a bit more for the blu-ray). Sit back,
relax and mainline the secret truth of the universe.

3. LEGO Bricks & More Creative Bucket (607 pieces)
Have kids? Don’t have kids but wish you could recapture the
creative wonder of childhood? Well, look no further than this big ol’ bucket of
Legos! Note these are just the colored blocks—no themes, no branding, just your
imagination and 607 pieces to build whatever you can think of.
