Here at GeekMom we love handmade gifts and know that there is nowhere better to shop for something unique and lovingly made than on Etsy and so we’ve rounded up some more of our favorite Etsy stores to shop at this holiday season. In fact, there are so many great Etsy shops selling cool geeky stuff that we had to split the Etsy guide in two, lest we overwhelm you with awesome. Here we continue with gift ideas for  jewelry lovers (and a little bit of everything else).

Jewelry Geeks

Jewellery © Spiffing Jewelry

Most of the time I’m happy enough living with the severe metal allergies that limit what jewellery I can wear, but when I see items like this I want to weep. Spiffing Jewelry make a range of pieces including necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. Guys aren’t left out either with a range of tie clips, cuff links and money clips. Some pieces are NSFW but the rest include quotes from Star Wars, Disney, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. There is also a great range that are based around latitude and longitude designs, allowing you to specify the coordinates of a special place to be engraved on your item of choice. One of my favourites has to be a pair of rings: the first engraved simply “I love you,” and the other “I know.”

Jewellery and Paper Weights © Comic Salvage

Comic Salvage makes a range of jewelry and paper weights using old, recycled comics. Many of the pieces are single words of the type you only see in comics, for instance: “BLAM,” “BOOM,” “ZAMP!” There are also great little quote pieces using speech bubbles, such as, “To be truly free I must forgive myself,” or my current store favorite “a mother knows.” You’ll also spot lots of classic characters. The store welcomes custom orders and will source characters for you for an additional charge. (Now might be a good time to read the interview that GeekMom Sarah did with store owner Sue back in July.)

Jewellery © Persephone Plus

I stumbled across Persephone Plus during one of my periodic Etsy hunts for Haunted Mansion items. It’s my favourite ride at the Disney parks and I’ve had the great privilege to be able to ride three different versions (Florida, California and Paris)–more if you count upgrades. The ballroom scene is possibly my favourite because there’s always something new to spot, but I love the two duelling ghosts who always grab my attention. These Haunted Mansion earrings are so perfect, they make me want to get my left piercing re-opened just for them, I adore the little crossed gun charms. The rest of the shop features a range of gothic, Victorian, and horror inspired earrings and necklaces.

Jewellery © Casstasstrophe

I love laser cut jewelry. I have a little “Deathly Hallows” symbol which I wear constantly as well as a gorgeous purple dinosaur who comes out occasionally (but not when I’m wearing low cut tops – he has a very pointy tail.) Looking around the Casstasstrophe store, I cannot decide which piece I need to buy first. There is a mixture of science symbols and geeky logos for dozens of shows and films, plus an assortment of other designs such as Little Bo Peep with her sheep. If I was pushed to decided on just one, it might be the beautiful “Winter is Coming” phrase necklace, perfect for the approaching chilly months.

And now for something completely different…

Cool Products for Nerdy Babies © Tiffany Ard/electric boogaloo

Nerdy baby products are cute yet educational and the prints available at Tiffany Ard’s store will surely be a talking point. I’ve been a fan of this store for well over a year and wrote about them on GeekMom back in April, I own both the alphabet and number flash cards and they certainly had my in-laws intrigued. The prints feature laws of physics, fluid dynamics and a genetic alphabet. There’s also a new coloring book with pages like “The Very Hungry Polymorhonuclear Neutophile.” What’s not to love?

Knickers © Bunny Jump

Whilst Victoria’s Secret may be the usual place to shop for lingerie this Christmas, I doubt you’ll be finding any of these great designs in there. Bunny Jump makes cute knickers featuring everything from Beatrix Potter to the Marvel Avengers to The Beatles to Star Trek. My favourite pair must be the Portal design (which comes with a detachable charm in the shape of a slice of cake)! If you can’t find the design you want in your size, the store can make any of their designs (and custom orders) in other sizes.

 

Wine Charms © Wax Nostalgic

If you’re hosting any kind of Christmas get-together that involves serving your guests wine, wine charms are a useful little accessory. Wax Nostalgic owner Laura says that she had always found them to be useless, as “If you are responsibly enjoying a beverage, often times that dramatically decreases your chances of remembering what non-descript, random charm you’ve been assigned.” However if your charm features a famous geek character your chances are greatly increased. The charms here feature all manner of shows, films, bands and historical figures. There are also magnets available, and custom orders are welcome.

 

Cloaks and capes © Blue Moonlighting

Cloaks and capes are an essential part of many costumes, from steampunk to Star Wars to Harry Potter (but NOT the Incredibles) and GeekMom Sarah Pinault is very lucky to have a mother-in-law with an Etsy shop selling them. Blue Moonlighting sells a beautiful range of cloaks in a variety of colors and fabrics, from Victorian travel cloaks to medieval and Jedi style.
