Stuck on what to get the geek in your life for the holidays? Fortunately, we have some answers. We've listed some of the top nerd-related gifts and gadgets that you might want to consider giving this holiday season (or the ones that you may just want to get for yourself.).

1. Nerf Nuke. Want to be the one to end all Nerf wars? Then you may want to consider the Nerf Nuke. Guaranteed to put a halt to a Nerf gun war, this missile has some explosive results-and mutually assures destruction.

2. Molecular Mixology Kit. For the nerd who likes drinking, you may want to consider the Molecular Mixology Kit. This kit combines food, liquor, chemistry and art to create a mind-boggling new twist on some classic drinks.

3. Skull Necklace. For the paleontologist in your life, you might want to think about a Fire & Bone necklace. Using cutting-edge 3D scanners, this company brings an exact copy of animal skulls into the digital realm. Then, they scale the skull down and use a 3D printer to create the skull in wax. From there, they create a mold to form a bronze or sterling silver version of the skull.

4. Space Glasses. Like space? Then you'll want to get your hands on these planetary glasses. Modeled after the planets in our solar system, this set of 10 glasses also includes the sun and Pluto.

5. Giant Microbe. If you're looking for something for someone a bit younger, then you may want to get your very own plushy microbe. Modeled after real microscopic organisms, these creature are sure to inspire any young scientist.

6. Pyro Fireshooter. Ever want to be able to shoot fireballs from your hands? The Pyro Fireshooter will let you do just that. While the estimated ship date is after Christmas on Dec. 29, we couldn't help but include this gadget on the list. The gadget uses four separate chambers, individually triggered for multiple shots, with each detonated by a simple remote device. That said, it's important to remember this isn't a toy--but it was just too cool not to include in the list (We included the video of it below.).
