ThinkGeek caters to fans of Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, the Marvel Universe, Game of Thrones, Firefly, The Big Bang Theory, Adventure Time, Tolkien, Minecraft, and more. If you’re looking for the perfect personable gift for the bride and groom who are fans of Star Wars, the happy couple will love the embroidered Star Wars Han and Leia Hand Towels ($19.99). Star Trek fans may enjoy the Star Trek Bathrobes ($49.99-$59.99) based on Kirk (gold), Spock (blue), Scotty and Uhura (red). Even if you’re not quite in a fandom, there’s something for everyone. For instance, the Periodic Table Shower Curtain ($29.99) is a wonderful gift for the science geek.
Her Universe caters to fans of Star Wars, Star Trek, the Marvel Universe, Doctor Who, Transformers, and the Nerdist fandom with more brands to come. Star Wars fans will love the The My Hero collection which offers a gorgeous R2-D2 Pearl Cuff Bracelet ($80) and the Royal Pendant Pearl Necklace ($85), surrounded by sparkling Swarovski crystal among other stunning jewelry selections. If you’re planning a geek wedding and have plans for a wardrobe change during the reception, the Hoth Pin-Up Dress ($150) is one of many options available to choose from.
For the fangirl or fanboy artist used to scouring Deviant Art, Red Bubble is the place for you. If Deviant Art and Etsy were a happy couple, Red Bubble would be its baby. Red Bubble allows for artists to sell their work in various formats, from throw pillows and wall art to t-shirts and cell phone cases and everything in between. What’s so great about Red Bubble is that it crosses an endless amount of fandoms but there are just as many piece of art here that anyone will love, regardless of how much of a geek there are. Art is universal and that is displayed beautifully here. Best of all, this is a great way to support independent artists from around the world.
