Geek Gift Ideas (Under $50):Mix Tape USB Stick

Remember the good old days? Flock of Seagulls haircut, sky-high shoulder pads, and a nylon fanny pack that stayed put when you felt the need to cut loose and break dance to your favorite Wham! jams. The ‘80s were awesome in a million different ways but perhaps the greatest thing about everyone’s favorite decade was the humble mix tape. Sure, you can put together a digital play list or let some streaming service make all your musical decisions for you, but what fun is that? Reclaim your melodic fame with the Mix Tape UBS Stick. This ingenious gadget brings old-school style into the new millennium by combining convenient USB technology with the throwback stylings of a traditional blank cassette – and you won’t ever have to rewind the tape with a pencil (ah, those were good times….).

Play DJ for your sweetheart, best bud, or even your kids, and compile a long list of the very best tunes. Opt for a theme – graduation day, road trip, or bachelor/bachelorette party are awesome occasions that just cry out for a special play list – or let your imagination run free so your “tape” is every bit as eclectic as you are. Download your tunes onto the micro-sized USB and then slide it into the realistic cassette case. Finish off your gift with a handwritten account of the songs and artists included and you have a one-of-a-kind present that reeks of sweet, sweet nostalgia.

Specifications:

  • 1GB USB MEMORY STICK - Store your own mix on the USB stick by plugging into your PC or Mac, then add MP3 or any other files to the USB stick. Stores up to 900 minutes of high quality digital music
  • C900 MIX TAPE CASE
  • Write your own title, messages and play list all over the retro gift pack
  • FOR MAC AND PC

How to Shop for Geek Gifts that will Blow Their Minds

Remember when "geek" was one of the all-time worse names to be called in middle school? Something changed. Maybe it was a certain male moviestar (debate amongst yourselves which studly geek turned the tide in pop culture). Or maybe it was the dawning of the iphone, ipad, and gadgets galore that make us all geek out. Whatever started it all, geek is now good. Though you may not be as geeky as the next guy. So here's some technical support for how to program in the best geek gifts.


1

Latest Update

For easy geek gift ideas, look up when the next big update is happening in the tech world — new iphone, updated games, or some new gadget that everyone is talking about online.


2

More than One

Two is better than one does not just apply to love. When you’re shopping geek gifts for him, look for ideas that turn one device into two! Like a camera that pops on his phone. Because it’s double the smart technology.


3

Geeky-Isms

If she proudly channels her inner geek, think on geek gofts for her that play to her geeky side. Does she say “hashtag” in everyday conversation? Maybe a personalized gift for her, even a hashtag bracelet is in order.


4

Space Invaders

Since when your geek was a young lad, one geeky truth has held true: anything space themed will capture his imagination. Sci-fi inspired gifts are one of the best geeky gift ways to go, just be sure you know what their favorite franchise or interest is before getting started.


5

Accessorize Your Geek

Think on geek gifts that feel playful about the fact that your geek is super-duper tied to their technology. You can decorate more gadgets and gizmos beyond the smartphone case. Look for geek gifts for her or him that whimsically dress up their tech gear — like battery packs disguised as juice boxes (this exists).


6

Remember Who

It’s always important to remember who you’re shopping for — their age and relationship to you. And with geek dad gifts, remember your dad is not the average geek. Unlike millennial geeks, he may not know his way around a gaming console. But you can be sure his inner geek will figure out that cool gadget for the grill or get a chuckle out of learning how to speak Wookie.


7

Fulfill Their Fantasy

If it’s not sci-fi that gets them going, it’s most likely fantasy fiction, manga or medieval times where characters use Olde English, have pet orbs or super powers. Again, find out their favorite character or franchise before looking for a gift to deepen their passion for alternate realities.
