6 gifts for the hipster geeks
We all have those geeks in our lives who love all things a bit more old school even as they rave about the latest technology. This gift guide is for them…
Being a geek in modern times can seem very contradictory: on the one hand, there’s so many new gadgets and ways of doing things and on the other, tried and tested things get a new lease on life infused modern technology or manufacturing techniques.

If you have one in your life that you need gifts for, here are some suggestions from a self-professed geek who loves all things vintage/old-school/hipster.
