10 great gifts for geeky babies

Updated on November 1, 2015

Inspiration for nerdy baby showers and baby's first Christmas

Your super geeky friends are expecting a little new nerd to join the computer, science, gadget or comic book crazy family and you have to find a fitting present.

Despair not, because I have scoured the Internet and found the best geeky gifts for the happy parents and their offspring.

Some of these presents are perfect for when the news is just out to help the parents cope with the pregnancy and to stop them from paniccing about having to take responsibility for something besides their online alter egos.

Some of the items are great if you want to give away a gag gift that will make the geeky parents giggle and hopefully help them panic less )or more depending on your level of evil) about the upcoming event.

Most of these gift ideas are traditional baby shower presents, but with a nerdy twists that should be appreciated by the receiver. As a geeky mom myself this article also doubles as my personal wishlist as the nerdy baby stuff I showcase is just so cute I can't help but want it all.

If you are a creative individual and you are looking to craft the baby shower gift yourself, then you can find a list of free geeky crochet, knitting and amigurumi patterns further down this article.

This Dragon plushtoy is a nifty little combination of toy and plushie. The soft huggable dragon flaps its wings when the cord is pulled. It is made from many bright and different fabrics which will help develop the senses and imagination of the baby. My daughter has loved Lamaze products and this is no exception.
