In this super busy time of year, somewhere in the back of everybody's mind there is a part of their brain that is focusing on one of the most important facets of the season: gift-giving.

For those of you with a geek, gamer or pop culture enthusiast on your shopping list, the wide variety of interests that they can have make finding the perfect gift for them extremely difficult. Do you buy them a gift that reflects their love of television and movies? Or something that is impractical, expensive, but otherwise too cool to resist? Fortunately for those of you in this situation, I have scoured amazon.ca for the perfect gifts for the loveable geek on your list.

TV on Blu-ray
It was a big year for television: the Red Wedding changed the landscape of Game of Thrones forever; the survivors on The Walking Dead faced off against their greatest threat yet; and something called Duck Dynasty is, for some reason, a pop culture phenomenon. Despite the events taking place on our screen over the past year, there was one TV event that stands head and shoulders above all others: the end of Walter White's journey on Breaking Bad.

There is no better way to celebrate the closest thing to a perfect story I've ever seen this holiday than with the complete Blu-ray series, which contains all five seasons, more than 50 hours of bonus features and a slew of collectables all placed in a plastic barrel (for the acid, of course). This piece of modern television history will undoubtedly be under the tree of many a television fan this year. $179.99

Movies
This past year seemed a relatively quiet one for geekier moviegoers, especially when following up last year's summer that contained both The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, but there was still a number of big cinematic events to get excited about this year. Marvel Studios continued their mission to conquer Hollywood by officially kicking off the second wave of films with Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, Superman made a return to screens and the crew of the Starship Enterprise confused longtime fans with this summer's sequel.

Perhaps the best movie for scratching an action itch this year was Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro's “giant monster fights giant robot” epic, a modern-day homage to what made films like Godzilla such a success in the early days of cinema. $24.99

Doctor Who
This was The Doctor's year, celebrating 50 years of existence has seen the BBC go through extraordinary lengths to promote their time-travelling mad alien with a box, with the recently passed 50th anniversary seeing a surge in Who related merchandise and collectables available this holiday season.

Any fan on the list would surely be happy with any of the multitude of statues, books, comics, posters or other collectables that have been appearing on store shelves all year, but there is one ultimate Doctor Who-related gift that any fan would love.

The Doctor is never far away from his sonic screwdriver, a whirring little device that can solve a multitude of problems with a single point, and now any Whovian can get the same sensation by using one to control their TV with just a point and a gesture in the vein of their hero. Programmable with whatever device they have, this showpiece remote control is sure to entertain any Doctor Who fan whenever they feel like tuning in. $40.95
