Geek Gifts is a weekly feature article written by Donya Abramo and Karen Rought. With every installment, the duo picks out a fandom-related item they’ve recently come across and describes it in loving detail. There are no product placements here. We only talk about items we’re excited to share with the rest of the world.
Your Geek Gifts come in a variety of ways, be it jewelry, clothing, games, or something else entirely. We strive to remain unbiased, and we plan on constantly expanding our own horizons as we search for new and interesting pieces. The only requirement is that it must give us the burning need to open our wallets and throw money at its creator.
This week started off with a bang. Between our first teaser for Star Wars: Episode VIII, as well as some casting news, and Hamilton at the Grammy Awards, it was hard to imagine just what else could top that. And then, the first of two trailers for Daredevil season 2 arrived, and our anticipation for it returning to Netflix exploded, much like Punisher is exploding into Hell’s Kitchen.
There’s a lot to digest in the two minute look at what’s to come for our favorite Avocados at Law and their friends, but this is only just the beginning. Frank Castle looks poised to plunge Hell’s Kitchen into turmoil, dragging Matt down with him, and that’s before we even factor Elektra into the equation. With relationships about to be tested from every corner, we might end up longing for the, err… simpler days of the first season.
Which is what this replica plaque will seek to remind you of, when you put it on display in (or outside) the room of your choice. Of course, the accompanying practicing of the law and nighttime vigilantism are optional — and also not recommended on the latter part. But it’d also make a fantastic addition to any cosplay themed photoshoots. Just remember to share them with us.
I have to admit that I don’t care much for jewelry unless it actually means something to me. If it’s a gift, I made it myself, or it just has a cool story, I find myself much more inclined to wear it more often.
These earrings fall into that last category and, frankly, they’re just plain cool.
These are part of a line of officially licensed Vikings merchandise (season 4 premiere airs Feb. 18!), but this pair in particular was based off a fragment from the Cuerdale Hoard, a 900AD Viking silver treasure trove of items buried in Lancashire, England. They were even stamped and flattened much how Vikings used to make a variety of items back in their time.
These are also quality pieces of jewelry, made from sterling silver. The site boasts their three-inch length, but also tout their lightweight construction, which means they won’t be weigh your head down all day. They’ve got a hefty price tag, but if you’re looking for the real deal, you’ve found it.
Will you be hanging up a ‘Daredevil’ sign or showing off your ‘Vikings’ style?
