Geeky Christmas Gifts: Starting With a Stapler

"Last-Minute Geeky Christmas Gifts"

"Is it too late for holiday shopping? Not at all. If you act fast, you can still get some cool gifts for the geeks on your list. Some are available online and some require a trip to a local store — but all of the items on this list are likely to be well-received by any Wired reader.

"This is a partial list, of course. Got any great last-minute nerd gift suggestions? Hit us in the comments!..."

The first item listed is a red Swingline stapler. Which, apparently, isn't a joke.

The Lemming would like a red stapler: but hadn't realized that so many folks enjoyed office equipment.

Next on the list is H2O Audio's Surge 2G headphones, then something that looked like duct tape. Again, the Lemming would like that sort of thing - wait a minute. It's not duct tape. It's a spindle of DVD-Rs.

Okay: You get the idea. The post is around midway between being a serious listing of gift suggestions for a particular demographic - and a not-so-serious look at what's out there for folks who like office supplies.
