Being in love with a nerdy person has its perks. Sure, they can be a little too defensive if you try to criticize their favorite anime, but all in all, nerds are caring people who will be 100% loyal to you.
They might have weird schedules, and you might not understand why it’s so important to them to meet for a D&D session every week with their geek friends, but when push comes to shove, they will be there for you, and they will love you unconditionally.
That’s why they deserve the best gift, no matter the occasion. In this article, we will try to provide you with three gift ideas that will work for birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s, anniversaries, or whatever it is you are celebrating. Without further ado, let’s jump into it.
3D mechanical puzzles
Nerds love puzzles. That’s a fact.
In the world of puzzles, there is a new kid on the block. You’ve heard of 3D puzzles, but have you heard of such puzzles made from metal? This is a totally unique approach to solving puzzles, as your nerdy little friend will need some manly tools to piece these puzzles together.
Here at Mostarle, we offer unique 3D metal puzzles with a Cyberpunk theme. If your partner has played the extremely popular video game Cyberpunk 2077, they are most certainly familiar with the cyberpunk aesthetic, and they will really appreciate the gift.
Our Reno — Blue Dragon 3D puzzle resembles the logo of Samurai, a musical band created for the Cyberpunk 2077 game. The band's frontman is Johnny Silverhand, one of the main characters in the game, played by Keanu Reeves. You might not know anything about this, but trust us, your nerdy boyfriend or girlfriend knows everything about it.
If you do decide to get the Blue Dragon, you can add a message to the gift. Be sure to write it in cool, cyberpunk-y letters. The message itself should go like this:
“I burned down half the city just to get this gift and burned the other half just for fun.”
It’s one of the most famous quotes from the game, and it will leave your loved one in awe.
If they are not a Cyberpunk fan, fear not, because we offer many other cool products. You can browse through our products section and pick your favorite.
Board games

If you want to show your nerdy partner that you want to spend more time with them, then a board game is an excellent choice. They are fun because you can get together with your friends and have a blast.
If you were born in the early 90s or earlier, and you only played board games as a kid, you are missing out on a lot. Board games have evolved in the past 10 to 20 years, and you now have an abundance of choices depending on your taste. There’s literally something for everyone.
If you love action and adventure with a hint of mystery, then you should look into the Betrayal at House on the Hill (3rd Edition) board game. As an article in the NY Times states, it’s like Lovecraft wrote a Scooby-Doo episode, which is awesome in and of itself.
If you love classics, you cannot go wrong with the The Settlers of Catan board game. It’s been topping lists of the best board games for years because it’s really simple and extremely addictive.
If you are more of a space exploration couple, you can play the Sky Team board game. There really is something for everyone here.
Retro gaming console

New games for current-gen consoles and PCs are more expensive than ever. Usually, a new game used to cost about 50 dollars, but now it costs 70 dollars, which is a steep increase. That’s one of the main reasons why retro gaming consoles are gaining popularity more and more.
With such a device, you get hundreds of old-school games all packed into a device you can carry in your small backpack (or larger pocket). New products even feature awesome games from the PlayStation One era. Your nerdy lover will start jumping up and down with joy when they realize they can play Syphon Filter (a very popular game from the late 90s and early 2000s) again.
A great choice here would be to go for The Super Pocket, which is an affordable retro-gaming hand-held console that will take you back to the good ol’ days when you enjoyed your favorite games on your Game Boy.
Another great choice is the TrimUI Smart Pro console, which can emulate games from the legendary Sega Dreamcast console. It also offers good PSP emulation, so you can play some games that were originally developed exclusively for the PlayStation Portable handheld console.
There are many other options to consider here, so our advice would be to go on YouTube, find a reputable tech reviewer like Linus Tech Tips, and see what they have to say about this matter. You can listen to their advice, as they have built a reputation for providing sound advice to their viewers regarding which tech products to purchase.
Conclusion
The ultimate goal of getting a unique gift for your nerdy partner is to put a smile on their face. It should be something memorable. Consider your partner’s likes and dislikes, talk to them about what they love, and find a gift that will tick all the boxes. The feeling of satisfaction you get when you nail a gift is unmatched.
To end, we would like to offer one more piece of advice. If you want to give them something truly unique, you should choose one of our 3D metal mechanical puzzles. Their nerdy friends might already have cool board games and gaming consoles, but none of them will have a 3D insect-themed metal puzzle that they assembled themselves.
