2011 Pretty Presents + For the nerds now that the culture is part of the Zeitgeist


"We've gotta throw some cold water on this situation. Start talking about nerd stuff!"

"Yes, that's perfect! Just like that. Be incredibly boring."

I don't know what a real nerd is anymore, but I'm pretty sure the items on this list can be enjoyed by someone you know.

For your friend who wants to at least look the part. I might have confused nerd with hipster. More seriously, I think this would make a great stocking stuffer for someone who wants to try out these frames before purchasing a more expensive pair, for a costume, or just for fun.
