Let it be Kindle Fire HD, or Apple iPad, or Samsung Galaxy Tab, almost every tablet serves similar needs, but carries a few different and extra features based on the money that you are investing.

Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display computer. It serves almost similar needs as your smartphone does, but with a hands-free format. The current price is around $1500, and it is not yet confirmed when it is going to be available in the market. But, you can pre-order the Google Glass. It uses Android OS, and has the storage capacity of over 16 GB with 1 GB RAM, and can take voice commands through microphone. Many other exciting features make it one of the most wanted gadgets.

Furby Rockers (Toys)

I recently came across Furby Rockers, and felt like kind of an interesting concept. They resemble the Sony's rolly concept which I loved during 2009-10. These furby rockers are even more interactive as they have their own specific way of behavior, and you can interact with them using the mobile applications that can decode the furby language into English. Interesting concept isn't it?

Smartphones

Obviously, this list will be incomplete without the mention of smartphones. Most of the people always wish to have an iOS, Android or a Windows device with them. It is always a great idea to have these smartphones in our list of geeky gifts for our families, as they help us stay connected 24*7.

It is a universal remote concept, which isn't anything new. But over the past few years, the features of these universal remotes have been extended to a great extent. These remotes can control over 15 devices, including your television, sound system, projectors, DVD player and many more.

These are some of the best gifts that you can consider gifting your geeky friends. Remember that this isn't an exhaustive list. Hence, there are many other things that you can also consider. These include gaming consoles, laptops, Bluetooth headsets, speakers, or anything else for that matter.
