1. “Less than three” Heart Necklace – Sterling Silver
Nerd love at its absolute finest. Your girl will likely screech a combination of “woot!” “OMG” “THX” and will definitely proclaim that she “less than three”s you. All you have to say is “NP.”








2. Game Boy Advance SP Cufflinks – Blue LTD
If you’ve got a gamer boyfriend (and, OT, might we add–clearly he must only be a casual gamer if he’s able to hold down a serious romantic relationship with another human being), he’ll flip when he sees these GBASP Cufflinks. Each one in the pair opens and closes and forms an innocuous blue square in closed clamshell format, and each has its own removable game cartridge. Now, hopefully you two kids are dressing up and going to fancy events that require French cuffs…

3. Smiley Necklaces – Sterling Silver – Kissing
OK, so maybe you already scored your girl the “Less Than Three” Necklace for her birthday early in January. What to do? Fear not, you have another option for nerdy jewelry that screams “we have a higher-than-normal level of oxytocin in our systems and for this I am grateful.” This is the emoticon for the kiss: :-* which your sweetie can now wear around her neck proudly.

4. Purple Waterfall Resistor Earrings LTD
We’ve only got a few of these limited edition, complex resistor-and-chain earrings created exclusively for us by Zelle. Hurry and get yours now before they’re all gone!







5. His and Hers Lightmare Watches
This chunky watch with a rubber band has a novel way for displaying the time. You know how you’re expected to recall the position of numbers on a watch with a blank face? Well this watch operates on the same principle, but substitute a large inner dot for the hour hand position and a small outer dot for the minute hand position. Cool huh? NEW for ‘09: There’s a nerdy girl’s version (the white one).

currency-sample1Check us out–we’re stimulating the economy or something! We figured we should group all of our marked down stuff into a category of its own so you can snag some deals and save some cash. It’s called, creatively, CLEARANCE.

Be aware that stuff in there is in totally limited quantities and if you find something in your size you should grab it right away.

resistor earringsWant to find something *really* unique for your valentine this year? Give them a gift of limited edition nerdy jewelry that’s exclusive to Fractalspin. We’ve got a few special sets of earrings from Zelle made from resistors and capacitors that you won’t find anywhere else, like the Purple Waterfall Resistor Earrings (shown at the left). There’s also the Yellow Capacitor Earrings available in either a swingy, longer style or shorter length, and three other styles.

If you’ve got a guy to buy for, check out our super limited set of Game Boy Cufflinks: Black Game Boy Advance (shown at right), Blue Game Boy Advance SP that actually opens and closes, or Blue Game Boy Color. All of them feature removable games (that won’t fly out on their own–you have to pull them out manually). Check out the detailed photos to see different views.

Even though these are all limited edition, the good news is that they’re all under $40.
