Raise your hand if  you haven't finished your holiday shopping! Yeah, me too. And when you factor in the stress of finding the perfect gift* for women whose whole shtick is KNOWING THEIR SHIT, finding the perfect gift for a girl geek becomes a problem to the eleventh power. Never fear, my friends, we here at Heartless Doll have got your back. And your front. And the place where you keep your secret slash fiction fantasies. WE GET YOU IS WHAT WE ARE SAYING. On to the gifting!

*We can't guarantee these will be shipped in time for Christmas but, hey, it's the thought that counts right?

10. An Aes Sedai Great Serpent Ring

Confession: I spent a good 45 minutes at last year's WonderCon drooling over a case of these Wheel of Time-inspired signet rings. I managed to restrain myself, but as Christmas draws near, I keep hoping and praying and wishing and hoping someone will put one of these in my stocking because when the Last Battle comes I will need something to channel the one true power.

What.

9. Steampunk Jewelry

 I cannot be alone in loving these steampunk-inspired Etsy pieces from Cosmic Firefly and edmdesigns, respectively. Perdido Street Station, The Golden Compass, The Diamond Age; these are a few of my favorite things and these cosmic owl and clockmaker rings get me all nostalgic for a Victorian England that never was.

8. Darth Vader Baby Onesie

Look, I don't ever want one of these "babies," but I understand you humans seem to enjoy them. So, in the spirit of earthling giving, at your next holiday gathering why not dress one up in this Darth Vader-themed baby clothing as is the tradition of your people? And then eat it? What? What did I say?

7. Star Wars Rebel Insignia Earrings

Speaking of Star Wars (and when am I not?) look at these darling rebel earrings! LOOK AT THEM. Your lady nerd wants these. She wants to wear them with an all-black outfit reminiscent of a Jedi Knight and be taken out for a night on the town at her favorite bar at the Mos Eisley spaceport- The Cantina. Why won't you believe me? I find your lack of faith disturbing.

6. Fruity Oaty Bar earrings

I know, I know. There are a LOT of earrings on this list but we all have ears, right? *consults the Google* Yep, I was right about the ear thing. Anyway, these fruity oaty bar earrings a la Firefly are the shiniest in the 'verse.
