  There is a huge market for geek gifts because it's a subculture that has disposable income and generally spends it on comic books, anime and black t-shirts with clever sayings on the front. If you're looking for a gag gift for a geek, there's a wide selection available in a range of prices, from affordable to extravagant. Cthulhu themed presents are usually appreciated, as are tentacle themed ones. You can safely pick something with a zombie, ninja, pirate or a bacon theme and know that it will probably delight a geek. As a disclaimer, you should make sure the gag gift you're buying is for a geek and not a nerd. The difference between the two is that geeks are interested in science fiction, comic books and fantasy and nerds are interested in hard science, computers and how things work.

Literary Horror Mash-ups

• A book like "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is a great gift idea for a geek.

Any of these books would make a great gag gift for a geek.
  
  

Bacon Tuxedo Joke Gift Box

• You have to see this one to believe it. A great gift box to wrap your gag gift in, this bacon tuxedo box features a claim that it comes from "Stan's Formalwear" and pictures an Asian man lounging on a cheesy photo set wearing a bacon tuxedo on the front and on the back is a picture of three elementary school aged kids wearing matching bacon tuxedos. The side of the box says, "If you find a better Bacon Tux, I'll refund your money, plus throw in 5 lbs. of thick-cut bacon for your trouble."
