Claire Likes To Doodle Custom Chibi Portrait*

Hi everyone! I have been so looking forward to sharing this post with you all, because I just know you guys are going to LOVE the fantastic artwork I have to show you! I was so delighted when my awesome fellow blogger friend Natalee (be sure to check out her blog here) dropped me an email to tell me that the fabulous Claire from Claire Likes To Doodle wanted to work on a collaboration with me!! I had been following Claire over on her Instagram for months, after falling in love with her super cute art from the first moment it appeared in my suggested feed!  

If you've been a regular reader of my blog for a while now, you'll know how much of a fan I am of all things kawaii, and specifically anything chibi. I know that lots of you come to my blog to get your dose of cuteness overload, and today's post will definitely fulfil those 'AWWW!' needs. Brace yourselves for the adorableness ahead! 

I wanted to start off by telling you all more about Claire and her wonderful artwork. Firstly, Claire is so lovely!! As soon as I started chatting with her, I felt like I'd known her for ages! She's so friendly and really easy to talk to :) Being a fellow nerd means we share a lot of similar interests, including a love for all things cute and chibified. She is also a feminist and spoonie, as well as a first-time mom, and overall just a fabulous person!

When it comes to Claire's artwork, she is self-taught which is absolutely amazing! Not only does she paint portrait commissions, but she started her career as an artist drawing wrestlers in chibi-style, and also does superb fandom related artwork. Additionally, Claire does the most fantastic alterations of Magic the Gathering cards; they are brilliant!! Take a look at some of her incredible work below. 

There's even an opportunity for you to meet Claire and check out more of her art in person, and maybe even get your own chibi portrait commissioned, because she's going to have a stall at the upcoming convention, Not Another Comic Con, being hosted at Aston University, Birmingham next month on Saturday 3rd August!

I am over the moon that Claire so kindly gifted me my very own A5 chibi portrait*. These beautiful commissions are around £30 each and are hand drawn and painted using watercolours. I am a huge fan of watercolour artwork and so I couldn't wait to see the finished result. This was my first ever experience having my portrait painted as well, so to say that I was excited was an understatement, haha!

Before drawing my portrait, Claire discussed with me over email what I was looking for in terms of personalisation, details and anything else that I had in mind. Something that I think is excellent about getting a portrait painted by Claire is that she also incorporates things that reflect your interests and personality. For me that included adding something kawaii into the mix! We exchanged ideas and thought it would be awesome to showcase the two opposite sides of my personality, alternative meets kawaii, and that's exactly what Claire did :) I described and sent several photos of myself, my favourite outfit, my go-to makeup style and some of my favourite plushies! And here is the wonderful portrait that Claire created for me...

Oh my gosh, seriously though guys... how cute is this portrait!!? It's so gorgeous! Claire did the most spectacular job and I am so happy with what she created! I really like how eye-catching it is, the colours are so bold and vibrant. Watercolour is stunning, and I love the sort of marbling effect that it can create, like on my black leggings. As someone who has never had the greatest self-confidence, seeing the way that Claire has captured my best features makes me look at my new portrait and feel good about myself, which is going to be helpful for my mental health each time I see chibi me :'D 

I am so impressed with all of the details on my face, such as my snakebite piercings. My eyes are so bright and the eyeshadow that Claire included makes them stand out even more! I am really glad that she chose to draw me with a big grin, as smiling in photos, etc., wasn't always an easy thing for me because one of my insecurities when I was younger was my teeth. It took me a long time to build up the courage to stop posing for pictures with pouted lips or sticking my tongue out, so having a portrait of me smiling and looking so cheerful is a nice reminder of how far I've come :) 

One of the things that I adore about Claire's unique art style, as well as the chibi style in general, is how short and chubby characters/people look. Standing at only 5'2'' and being plus sized, I love that this artwork represents me so well whilst still making me feel cute as heck :p I can't find enough words to express how much I love it! 

LOOK AT THESE SQUISHY FLUFFY CUTIES! A portrait of me really wouldn't be complete without one of my favourite things in the world, plushies! And so I'm thrilled that Claire decided to add an adorable plushie into each of my hands. The one on the left is actually a personal favourite plush that I own. He's a pastel rainbow alpaca from the Japanese brand Amuse, and his name is Sherbet and he is the goodest, most colourful cuddly friend ever ^.^ 

If you didn't know yet, Vaporeon is my all-time favourite Pokemon; it has been ever since I was around six years old! And yet somehow I still don't own a plushie of Vaporeon!! :O Well, the need is even more mighty now that Claire has helped make my dream a reality by giving chibi portrait me a Vaporeon plush!! The shades of blue that she has used are so pretty, and I love how huggable plush Vaporeon looks. Together, these plushies bring a splash of bright and pastel colours to pop out amongst the darker shades surrounding them, and they make me 'squeee' aloud everytime I see them! :D :D 

As you can see, Sherbet is very pleased with his portrait too XD I thought I'd include a shot of me alongside my custom chibi portrait so you guys can make a comparison. I think it looks just like me! I especially love how Claire has done my hair, it flows in the same way that my hair does IRL, as it's naturally wavy! The other photo I wanted to show you all is of my chibi portrait before it was painted. I was lucky enough to be able to watch Claire painting it on video over on her Twitch channel. Unfortunately, Claire is no longer streaming over on Twitch but it was a very fun experience to be able to see her artwork really come to life right before my eyes! 

Here's what the print looks like on display! As you can see, it grabs your attention even when surrounded by lots of cuteness! I haven't decided yet whether to frame it and keep it where it is on top of my book sets, or put it up on my art wall, but either way, it's going to look marvellous :) 

I want to say a huge THANKYOU to Claire for working with me, and for making my first experience getting a portrait done so fun!! Head over to Claire's Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to show your support for her outstanding work. Oh, and here's a link to her store. Be sure to look out for the Claire Likes To Doodle stall if you're attending the Not Another Comic Con event this August! If you're interested in getting a commission done for your own chibi portrait, you can contact Claire via social media :) 

You can also find more examples of her work by checking out my wonderful friend Estelle's post, as she's recently worked on a collab with Claire as well! Oh and FYI, the link I shared to Natalee's blog at the start of my post today will lead you to her own post all about Claire's chibi portraits, so go have a read of that too. 

I want to finish up this post by sharing a code that Claire has very kindly provided so that all of my lovely readers can get a discount on their very own commission. Use MONKEY10 to get 10% off! Please let me know if you order yourself a chibi portrait, I'd love to hear all about it! Also, it would be fantastic if you tagged me in a photo when it arrives, so I can see how Claire has brought your personality to life on paper :) (Well technically on card, but that didn't have quite the same ring to it, haha). 

Thankyou for reading!

How To Geek Up Your Home At Christmas Time

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! I can't believe it's Christmas next week... as if it's only 4 days away!! I thought it was about time that I shared a festive-themed post with you all, so it's perfect timing that one of my absolute favourite bloggers asked me if I wanted to do a collab with her! :) 

Today, Natalee from over at There Might Be Coffee & I are each going to share some Christmassy geektastic posts! I'm writing about items that are perfect for bringing all that geeky goodness into your home at Christmas Time! Don't forget to head over to Nat's blog to check out her post on how to make your dinner table geeky this Christmas! I'm so happy to be collaborating with Nat again this Christmas as her blog is amazing and one of my most favourites to read! I hope that today's post gives you all some inspiration on how to geek up your home during the festive season :) Enjoy! 

1. Marvel Official Deadpool Baubles How fabulous are these Deadpool decorations!? It was actually pretty tough to find geeky Christmas decorations available here in the UK unless you're a fan of Star Wars, in which case you'll find plenty! Decorating your house/flat/bedroom is one of the most fun traditions of the Holiday season, and of course the Christmas tree is the star of the show! Whether you have a full size tree or a smaller version, I think this is the best place to start when trying to make your home more geeky at Christmas Time. These Deadpool baubles are not only the perfect colour combination for this time of year, but they will also add some festive cheer into your life with their hilarious captions :D 

2. Darth Vader & Stormtrooper 3D String Lights With the abundance of Star Wars Christmassy products, it was impossible not to include some on my decoration guide today! There are so many fantastic baubles and other more unique tree ornaments, such as golden battleships, available online! However, no Christmas tree is complete without fairy lights, and these Stormtrooper and Darth Vader ones look awesome! They are white light LED's so they'll give off a lovely wintery glow too :) 

3. Pusheen Christmas Surprise Plush Blind Box I had to include something for all of my fellow kawaii culture lovin' geeks, and I don't know anyone who doesn't adore Pusheen the cat! These blind box decorations by GUND are a personal favourite of mine; I love stocking up on a couple of boxes to open throughout December. They are the cutest decorations ever and so soft! There's eight different decorations available in this 'Christmas Sweets' collection, and there's a lot more series of the Christmas Surprise Plush boxes so you can always mix-and-match :) They'd also make great gifts for any of your loved ones who are fans of all things cute & cat-related! 

4. Fallout 76 Christmas Tree Ornaments Here are some decorations for all you gamers out there! I think these Vault Boy tree ornaments will stand out so much on your Christmas Tree, they are super bright & cheerful! This pack comes with six different designs too, all of which are super cute in my opinion. Which is your favourite? Whether you play Fallout or not, these adorable geeky decorations will make fabulous additions to your tree, even more so if your theme this year is blue & silver, or something similar!

5. Brace Yourselves, Christmas is Coming' Jumper I know that Christmas jumpers aren't decorations, but I couldn't not include some! Over the last few years, probably because of everyone posting their fabulous Christmas outfits on social media, there has been a growing market for geeky Christmas jumpers and I absolutely love all of the comical and clever designs that I've seen! This one from Grindstore especially has been a favourite of mine every since I spotted it. Even if you're not a fan of the epic TV show that is Game of Thrones, you'll have likely heard the iconic words of the Stark family, 'Winter is Coming' by now :) I think that the play on words in this design is fantastic, and I need this jumper in my life! Who agrees?

6. Official Nintendo Super Mario Happy Holidays Mug One of the best things about this time of year is that it's officially hot chocolate season! It's a tradition to have yummy, festive flavoured drinking chocolate (topped with whipped cream and marshmallows in my case!) throughout December, so what better way to bring a little geekiness into your home this Christmas than by supping your hot drinks from a festive mug! I chose to add this lovely Super Mario Happy Holidays mug to today's guide because I really like how it's more subtly Christmas-themed, using an array of colours and making the main focus of the design Mario and Luigi themselves :) I also love how the design is different on both sides of the mug, and the entire design is adorable! 

7. 'Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Muggle' Jumper Grindstore have done a fabulous job with their Christmas jumper slogans! This one is inspired by the famous line from the awesome Home Alone movie, in which the lead character Kevin says Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal'. If you're a Harry Potter fan like me, then this jumper would be perfect for wearing to work in December or any Christmas parties you've been invited to! I love how the golden snitch, broomsticks and Harry's lightening bolt scar have been cleverly included into a design that very much resembles the popular cross-stitch Christmas jumper patterns. 

8. Star Wars BB-8 Christmas Stocking There seems to be a huge gap in the market for geeky Christmas stockings :O but I did find this awesome BB-8 one, which has currently been reduced to only £4.99! It's a lot bigger than some of the other Star Wars ones I've found at 19 inches, so it can be filled with lots of stocking fillers :) I think that stockings make brilliant decorations, and love that this one is orange and grey, because it's nice to have something different to all those traditional Christmas colours! 

9. Official Sanrio Gudetama 'Egg's The Season' Mug  I was only going to feature one mug in this post, but I saw this Gudetama one and just had to show you all! I think 'Egg's The Season to be Jolly!' is such a fabulous play on words considering this Sanrio character is a lazy egg :D The design itself is just soooo cute! You know you want to drink hot chocolates from this egg-cellent mug this Christmas! 

10. Funko Pop! Star Wars Holiday Darth Vader I wanted to include a Funko Pop! on my geeky Christmas décor guide as I keep seeing gorgeous photos all over Instagram of people decorating their trees with these figure vinyls, and think that it's such a marvellous idea! Whether you dot them about your tree or just have them on display around your home, festive Funko Pops make awesome geeky decorations! Funko have recently released a collection of Star Wars ones, including Yoda dressed as Santa Claus and Chewbacca covered in Christmas lights, and the more subtle festive one that I've chosen, Darth Vader holding a Candy Cane! These are also another product that would make a cool gift for your geeky friends & family this Christmas :) 

11. DC Comics Official Justice League Baubles Finally, I've ended as I started with a set of geektastic Christmas tree baubles! These Justice League ones are perfect for anyone who's a superhero fan and who also loves all things cute, because the characters are designed in a more chibi style than other geeky decorations I've found. Each of the six baubles has a varied design, all of which are super eye-catching and vibrant! They are made of tin too which is a nice change from plastic baubles (the Deadpool ones are also made of tin). Just adding these decorations throughout your tree amongst all of the regular baubles will be enough to show off your geeky side to anyone you invite over to celebrate with you this Christmas :) 

So, that's my guide on how to geek up your home at Christmas Time, whether you want to go all out or just add a few geeky touches here and there. I hope you all enjoyed reading and that I've inspired some ideas for you! Be sure to head over to Nat's blog to have a read of her post! Let us know in the comments which of the items you like best, either here on my post or over on Nat's :) 

♥ ♥ ♥

I just wanted to conclude my post by saying a huge thankyou to Nat for wanting to do a collab with me this Christmas! Geeky item guide posts are one of my absolute favourites to write and I am really inspired by your fantastic monthly wishlists and gift guides, so I'm super happy that we got to work together on these festive editions! You are a wonderful friend and my blogging bestie; thanks so much for always supporting me and my blog! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas Natalee, and I also wish the same to all of our wonderful readers! Happy Holidays guys! May Santa leave lots of geeky goodies under your tree this year :D 

Geek Guy Gift Ideas | Blogmas #9

On the ninth day of Christmas my blogger friend came to me, and asked me to write for her blog... Again! Haha legit can't believe I did that again, but whatever IT'S CHRISTMAS! If you read both of our collaboration posts on each other's blogs on Wednesday, then you'll know that we wrote part one of two posts with geeky Christmas gift guides. I wrote about girls (which you can read here) and Sarah wrote about guys (which you can read here), but today we're swapping so I'm writing my geeky guy gift guide for you all! 

Like I said on my geeky girl guide, I really hope you enjoy this gift guide from me. I really love doing gift guides so much, especially when I can help out fellow girls with gifts for their boyfriends, siblings, friends or even a Secret Santa idea! 

Like with my geeky girl gift guide, a lot of the gift ideas on here I feel are from the same shops online and I was worried about this, but as Sarah said to me, it's not a bad thing as people can order similar items from the same shop online and save on P&P! :D 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the geeky guy gift guide I've put together! 

Controller and Nintendo 64 Cartridge Soaps | From Firebox (Link 1 & Link 2)

When looking for gift ideas this was the first one I came across and after a lot of umming and ahhing over which of the two to add, I decided to add both as they're just all too good not to add! Not saying you guys need bars of soap and to be clean, but how awesome would it be to use these to wash your hands, or in the shower!? They're also citrus scented so it'll wake whoever uses it up in the mornings! If I had to buy my boyfriend Dane one I'd definitely opt for an Xbox One controller! These would make amazing Secret Santa gifts for men in the office, or even a sibling. 

Rick & Morty Pickle Rick Sweater | From Grindstore 

Know someone who is a fan of Rick & Morty? Then this sweater will be RIGHT up their alley! When the Pickle Rick episode came on, everyone went bat shit crazy for Pickle Rick and people still are to be fair. You can get this in a t-shirt too, but I thought the sweater would be more apt for these colder months in the UK. I thought about getting my boyfriend Dane this sweater for Christmas, but left it as he wasn't as crazy about Pickle Rick as I thought he was. :p This is definitely an easy gift for someone... providing they love and enjoy the show. ;) 

Star Wars Origami | From Firebox 

I doubt very much that all guys will be into origami, Star Wars, or even both! BUT I can only imagine that this would be  such a fun gift to receive Christmas Day, especially if they're a bit drunk and merry and want something fun to have a go at! I know I'd love to receive something like this! It looks huge as well so I imagine there are so many ideas to choose from! As well as getting the book you could also get some origami papers alongside it so they don't run out of paper to play and mould with. 

Deadpool Pyjamas | From EMP

EVERYONE loves getting pyjamas for Christmas and if you don't then you need to get the fuck out! :p I joke, but seriously who doesn't like getting pyjamas?? I found loads of awesome ones but the Deadpool ones just stood out to me, and to be honest I wish I had found these sooner as I would have bought them for my boyfriend Dane! They're simple and definitely a good present for moms to get their sons if they're stuck for ideas! 

Pokémon Gengar Snapback Cap | From Grindstore

I know not everyone likes snapbacks but I know quite a lot of people who are getting into the ''trend'' now and out of the few Pokémon ones I found, this was the best one! I have a Gengar sweater that I bought from Camden last Christmas and I love it! If you know that the guy you're buying for likes a particular Pokémon then go for it, but I just find the Gengar one to be more tasteful with the purple and charcoal grey. 

Stikbot Studio | From I Want One Of Those 

This is definitely the best gift idea on this post for so many reasons and for all ages and sexes! This is a little studio where you can make stop-start animation films on your mobile phone. You use the two little stickmen, and download the app on your phone and away you go. SIMPLE and you can definitely have a go on Christmas Day! This would be more fun for any aspiring film makers to have a play with, I know loads of friends who would love to own something like this and to be honest, I would too! 

Star Wars Light Up Chop Sticks | From Firebox

I love using chop sticks and as soon as I get the chance to use them I will. I bought my boyfriend Dane some Star Wars Darth Vader chop sticks quite a few Christmases ago now and to be honest, I use them more than he does! I nearly bought the light up ones for him and they're pretty funky! If you know a Star Wars fan who loves chop sticks, then get these for him; you can get many of the characters chop sticks to be honest, but at the moment on Firebox they only seem to be stocking Luke Skywalker (blue), Darth Vader (red) and Kylo Ren. 

Minecraft Plastic Creeper Face Mug | From GAME 

Like pyjamas, who doesn't love getting a mug for Christmas? This is an ideal present for a work Secret Santa! A girl in our office has asked for a mug for her present as she doesn't yet have her own, this is an example of why gifts like this are so good! I thought this mug was pretty different and it's a Minecraft Creeper, so you can't go wrong! This can also apply to all ages, although I'm pretty sure this is for a younger person... :p 

Crash Bandicoot Uka Uka Keyring | From GAME

Finally we have our last gift on the list and it's one that I think anyone of any age will appreciate, especially if they went mad for Crash Bandicoot back in the day and even when it was remade and released on the PS4 this year! This isn't Crash himself, but it is Uka Uka, who will enable you to feel just like Crash in your daily activities! :p

So that is my geeky guy Christmas gift guide and sadly my final post on Sarah's blog (for now anyway!!! :p)! 

I really hope you enjoyed reading this post, as well as my last one. Please make sure to check out my blog if you like geeky posts like this one as that is what I specialise in! 

As well as that, make sure not to forget to check out Sarah's geeky girl Christmas gift guide over on my blog today, as well as checking out the geek guy Christmas gift guide she wrote on Wednesday. 

A massive, MASSIVE thank you to Sarah again for agreeing to collaborate with me this Christmas! She's been one of the best people I've worked with to date and she's also one of my favourite bloggers, so I feel so special being able to write for her blog, as well as having her write for mine.

If you enjoyed our collaboration together then don't fret, we will definitely be doing this again very soon! We just enjoyed doing it that much. :p

Again, I hope my Christmas gift guides have helped you buy for the geeky people in your life and until me and Sarah collaborate again, take care and have a lovely weekend! 

♥

You can check out Nat's fantastic blog over at There Might Be Coffee. Thankyou so much for working with me for these collaboration posts lovely! It's been wonderful and I can't wait until next time :) Also Thanks so much for your kind words, reading it made my day! You are one of my favourite bloggers too so I felt super happy when you asked me! Everyone go give Nat some love over on her Instagram too because it's great! 

Geek Girl Gift Ideas | Blogmas #6

On the sixth day of Christmas my blogger friend came to me, and asked to write for her blog! ...Oh man I can't believe I just did that! BUT WHATEVER it is really starting to look like Christmas and this year me and Sarah decided to write for each other and do gift guides! Today I'll be writing my gift guide for geeky girls and Sarah will have her geeky guide for guys over on my blog (which you can find here). 

I really hope you enjoy this gift guide from me, I love doing these kinds of posts around Christmas, especially when it's geek related! 

A lot of the gift ideas on here I feel are from a lot of the same shops online and I was worried about this, but as Sarah said to me, it's not a bad thing as people can order similar items from the same shop online and save on P&P! :D 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the geeky girl gift guide I've put together; there's so much stuff on this list that I would love myself! :p 

My Neighbour Mug | From Firebox 

Everyone loves a good mug when it comes to Christmas and whilst I could have added all sorts of different mugs, this Totoro one just stood out to me the most! It'd be perfect for home or in the office and with the lid on top you could even make cup-a-soups and noodle soups inside of it. 

Harry Potter Hedwig Clutch With Charm | From Truffle Shuffle 

I saw this clutch and instantly thought about New Years and how this would make for a great bag to use for parties! I have a sequin clutch bag, as well as some geeky bags that I use on evenings out, my favourite being my Sailor Moon bag that my boyfriend Dane bought me from Hyper Japan years ago. 

Unicorn Snot Face and Body Glitter | From Firebox

Everyone loves a good unicorn themed product, especially these days! This could be more of a product for teenagers and students, especially before any New Years parties! This reminds me of the 90's and 00's when everyone would wear face and body glitter everywhere! These come in various different shades too, so if you have a lot of female Secret Santa gifts to buy, you could get one in every shade. 

Loungefly Pokémon Floral Wallet | From EMP 

Forget this list, I want this wallet myself! Recently EMP started stocking Loungefly wallets and bags and it's amazing! You have to have a good search around the website to find them as they aren't listed as Loungefly but if you know the brand well enough, you'll know when you've found an actual Loungefly item. Any Pokémon fan would love this wallet, I know it! My Loungefly Pokémon bag gets a lot of attention and it's amazing! 

Star Wars Darth Vader Tealight Candle Holder | From Truffle Shuffle

Who doesn't love to burn candles throughout the colder months and why not do it in Darth's helmet? Not only could you grab the tealight candle holder for someone, but you could also buy them some scented candles to burn in it too! This would make a great Secret Santa gift for someone who loves Star Wars. 

Unicorn Tears Black Gin Liqueur Miniature | From Firebox 

We all know someone who loves gin and who also probably loves unicorns too. I wish I loved gin so I could buy this for myself! This is a miniature bottle, so great as a stocking filler. It's black gin and it looks amazing! I don't quite get why this one is unicorn tears, the usual unicorn tears gin from Firebox is pink with shimmer... Either way this looks amazing and would especially be great for a past goth or emo kid. :p 

Star Wars BB-8 Ice Mould | From I Want One Of Those

I feel like this gift would be amazing to use over the Christmas period, especially Christmas Day evening and Boxing Day. You could pop this into any spirit over ice as well as maybe pop it into a cocktail! With the next Star Wars movie coming out next week, this is definitely an apt time to buy some BB-8 themed gifts too before all the Porg stuff comes out! 

Pusheen Cookie Jar | From Truffle Shuffle 

I can't say I know any geek or nerd alike who doesn't like Pusheen. Pusheen is adorable and I've loved her for years so I've been so happy to see more and more Pusheen merch come over to the UK! This is actually something I wanted for my own kitchen but 1. It wouldn't go with anything and 2. It would be an excuse to buy biscuits and cookies and I don't really need or want to do that! :p This is adorable though and if you did happen to buy it, it would make it even more special to either pop some little gifts inside, or even just a pack of really fancy biscuits, or the receiver's favourite ones. 

Pop Vinyl Rick & Morty Snowball Figure | From EMP 

I know everyone is mad for Rick & Morty, including my boyfriend Dane to be honest. I was scrolling through Pop Vinyl figures to see which one I could possibly add to this list and I came across Snowball. Oh he is super adorable and even though I'm not the biggest Pop Vinyl fan I do have a little soft spot for him! The episode of Rick & Morty that Snowball was in is my favourite so I'd want him to keep by our desk. Any Pop Vinyl would be the perfect gift for anyone this Christmas!

Harry Potter Dobby Plush Figure | From EMP

Finally we have a cute little Dobby plushie! I scrolled past him at one point and had to go back as he looked too adorable not to add to this list! I know it's a very childish gift but whatever, we can all be kids at heart, especially at Christmas! This would make a nice gift for someone who likes to collect Harry Potter items, or even for someone to pop in their car to geek it up a bit! I have a John West bear in mine that someone won at my old job and gave to me! 

So, those were my 10 picks for Christmas gift ideas for geeky girls! This can range from all ages as well, it doesn't just have to be for adults due to the alcohol or not just for kids due to the plushie. Of course, don't buy alcohol for anyone underage!

I hope you enjoyed my picks, are there any gifts that you particularly like the look of for someone else, or even yourself? Let both me and Sarah know in the comments or over on my Twitter or Sarah's. 

This is only the first out of two posts, so please make sure to keep your eyes peeled on Saturday for the geeky guy guide next!
