Is there someone on your list whose IQ exceeds his or her weight? Their vocabulary may be over your head, but thanks to the "Geekery" section of Etsy.com, handcrafted holiday gifts for the nerds in your life are well within reach. A few of or our favorite hilariously geeky products are featured ahead.

For Eco-Nerds...

Throw 'n Grow Seed Bombs (The Flower Bomber) $17.50 - $150 Artist: The Flower Bomber, Beverly Hills CA "Step 1: Find a vacant lot, dirt-covered traffic median, crack in a wall, wherever. Step 2: Toss a "Throw 'n' Grow" (or two or three). Step 3: Come back after a bit of rain (or with a watering can if you're the go-getter type) and watch as wildflowers sprout, bloom, blossom and reclaim the city!" Rage Against the Machine-recommended but not required. Available in packs of 20 to 300. Now go plant some fucking flowers!
