Collectable Star Wars Helmets
The ancient Jedi scroll known as the Legohgon contained dozens of small prismatic brick blueprints that required primeval Force manipulation.
These are among the first things visualized by a Jedi apprentice.
Must-have geek gift number one has to be these classic Lego models of Luke Skywalker’s (Red Five) Helmet and the iconic Sith Lord’s Helm of Darth Vader (cue: thuuuth ** pause ** thuuuth gasping sounds).
This 675-piece Luke Skywalker (Red Five) Helmet will fit a small hamster, giving the creature an immediate boost to its Jedi affinity.
Luke’s helm is the first-ever hero helmet crafted by LEGO for their Star Wars helmets collection. They also make a Bobba Fett, Mandalorian, and Scout Trooper helmets.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away—the ancient Jedi scroll known as the Legohgon contained dozens of small prismatic brick blueprints that required primeval Force manipulation.

So why should I build my Geek Collection with these?

The Black Pearl: Advanced Metal Craft
No glue is needed—only a small pouch of gunpowder, a sharp razor-cutlass to vanquish skeletal foes, and a bottle of rum from 1823 called the Thunderclap Bomb.
Oh, some Clipper and Needle Nose Pliers are required for assembly, and they are not included in this package—but that has never stopped a story-telling pirate like you!
Must-have geek gift number two is this Piececool 3D Puzzle. This model kit contains 307 precision cut parts in 4 pre-colored sheets to build a stunning model pirate ship.
“But what a ship is…what the Black Pearl really is…is freedom,” said Jack, “307 precision cut freedom parts I believe.”

The finished model Black Pearl is full of detail including the golden cannons, sails, riggings, and a terrifying skull and crossbones motif!
Now why on earth would you want a metal pirate ship:

Dell’s UltraSharp 27-inch 4K Monitor
Goodness gracious, that was a big jump from Lego helmets to a 4K monitor! Monitors are always one of the best gifts for tech geeks because they are something you stare at forever in a day.
And yeah, the blacks are strong with this one.
“Hmm…well, I gotta have me blacks real black.”
The superior blacks on this premium display make the inside of Darth Vader’s Lego helmet look like a swaying field of wild black daffodils on a dark winter’s night.
And the color? The contrast delivers everything in pristine wow color, much like the ‘wow’ uttered when milk bottles were first invented.
Must-have geek gift number three is the monitor the entire world is raving about at the moment. Dell now stands for Delightfully Elegant, Lucious & Luminous. Well done, Dell!
I am about to buy two of these to replace my LG 36″ Ultra-wide and connect them to my Apple Mac Studio. As a designer-creative wizard, it is time to go all 4K spectacular.

Mini Espresso Machine
We owned our Mini Espresso machine for several months before COVID hit back in late 2019. We were living in Malaysia at the time—and it has been used nearly every day since and never failed once.
Must-have geek gift number five is the caffeine lifeline, and despite being energized to espresso your dark side, I also get to share one of my favorite Instagram accounts—DeathWish Coffee.
Due to the fact that they also come in the same color scheme as a Stormtrooper or the Emperor’s Royal Guard, I think this is one of those must-have geek gifts.
