Still looking for that one of a kind gift for a friend or that special treat for yourself? For timeless, quirky items you might not necessarily find on the high street, Etsy has the perfect combination—if you spend some time looking.

Shopping on Etsy supports independent businesses and encourages a strong sense of community. That’s what we like to do best: create and share community.

There are so many products, ideas, and customizations to choose from on Etsy’s paradise of creativity. Vintage, handmade, and unique items are the norm, and you’ll have that huge satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting an independent creator, as well as knowing you’re probably one of the few people who have just purchased a particular product. 

It was a huge challenge to whittle it down, but here are our favourite 12 geeky gifts to buy on Etsy! 

1. I Love You 3000 Wooden Decor 

I’m not crying, you’re crying! This wooden decor sign is the ideal gift for any Marvel fan to hang up on their wall or get an early start on Valentine’s Day.

2. Controller Bath Bombs 

Whether you’re an old school gamer or loving new tech, these bath bombs will get your bath fizzing while you relax in the tub! Made vegan and cruelty-free, these can be bought individually or as sets.
