Dark Christmas: Cheap Unique Gifts For Geeks and Freaks

Let me make this easy for you. We’re all on a budget. Hell, even those who are well padded are on a budget these days. It’s become the “in” thing. But, it doesn’t have to kill your Christmas. Just because you have nerds and goths on your list, doesn’t mean you have to buy expensive computer components and pricey video games.
