“ThinkGeek started as an idea. A simple idea to create and sell stuff that would appeal to the thousands of people out there who were on the front line and in the trenches as the Internet was forged. From programmers, engineers, students, lovers of open source, to the masses that helped create the behind-the-scenes Internet culture. ThinkGeek started as a way to serve a market that was passionate about technology.”

Below is an example of a cool geek item that you could get with the gift certificate. What would you get with $50 to spend?


Flying Alarm Clock

The Flying Alarm Clock would be one of my picks if I had $50 to spend.

“The Flying Alarm Clock wakes you up with a loud shrieking alarm coupled with a little propeller-driven key that leaps off your nightstand. To turn off the horrible racket, you have to get out of bed and retrieve the key. The propeller flies the key high into the air and off into some dusty corner. You have to force your sleep addled brain into wakefulness, move your stiff legs and retrieve the key before the alarm goes off. By the time you’ve done so, you’re awake enough at least to go make a pot of coffee.”

    great idea. I can’t help but think I would end up hacking this gadget with a quick retrieval mechanism. Tying some string to the rotor and the bed springs to mind ;)

    True that, I bought from them several times. At this moment I am using the 5 gig usb micro drive I got with my 50$ gift cert from a couple months ago.

  10. Alan Parekh Says:

    Hi Diogo,

    The actual gift certificate is email delivered so you can receive it no matter where you are in the world, you would have to check with Think Geek to see if they can ship to you though.
