The holiday season is fast approaching and it means buying gifts for important people. However, there is no one-gift-fits-all item that people could just buy, especially for the geeky people.

Thoughtfulness isn't just buying the most expensive gift; it is about buying the right gift for the right person.

Here is a guide on buying the best gift for geeky boys and gals this Holiday season:

First on the list is Snapchat Spectacles. It is an eye gear that has built in glasses with the capacity of shooting videos with one tap, Tech Crunch reported. The videos will then be uploaded automatically to Snapchat. It sells at $129 and is very hard to find, which means the owner can put a ridiculous mark up on it on eBay.

What's a holiday gift for geeks without games or game consoles? As the Nintendo Switch is set for release next year, people would want to experience again the games in the NES Classic Edition, Den of Geek reported. That console is now very difficult to find, which would make a wonderful gift this season.

For anyone who plans to buy a PS4 this Christmas, the new "Uncharted 4: A Thief's Den" would be a great idea for a gift. Better yet, it would be better to get the PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB Console- Uncharted 4 Bundle.

Real life escape rooms are becoming a hot trend right now and it is available in major cities. Imagine "Dungeons and Dragons," but instead of a board, people really go inside a room. "Defenders of the Triforce" is one of the best options to experience. Buying a ticket for this real game room would easily be a great idea for a holiday gift.

Any geek would be very happy to receive a drone for Christmas. It's difficult to find the right, easy to use, and affordable drone these days. One of the best options would be the DJI Mavic Pro, which is sold for $999.

There are many other great gift ideas for geeks if one is just keen enough in finding them. Something in technology is always a good idea for geeky boys and gals.
