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. Lightmare Watch
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).

Diskette Handbag

3. Diskette Handbag
This is a totally unique black vinyl handbag with six real 3.5” high-density 1.44MB diskettes on each side (12 x 1.44 MB = 17.28 MB total). Two snap pockets, one with a zippered change pocket, and two elastic pockets are on the walls of the main compartment. A removable, magnetic latch holds the top edges together. It can fit keys, a cellphone, an iPod Mini, a wallet, and a few paperbacks. And make you look totally sweet!

Teal Triple Capacitor Necklace4. Teal Triple Capacitor Necklace and Earrings
Three teal capacitors are connected together to form a striking yet suble necklace. The chain is a fine gauge, cable link steel chain adjustable from 18″ to 21″ via a sizing chain in the back.

5. Eprom Necklace
This is a really neat eprom reprogrammable memory chip with a window cut out revealing its prismatic, sparkley innards. This new version has a steel cable with a magnetic closure, a more secure, lead-wrapped cable attachment, and is available in two sizes. Only limited quantities are available and there is some minor variation between them as they are vintage. Really.
