A big thank you to Jaclyn for sending me these words of wisdom!
The Library collection of candles won’t make your home smell like old books–instead, it will make your home smell reminiscent of your favorite author. Whether you prefer the cardamom, sandalwood and absinthe scent of Edger Allan Poe or the gardenia, tuberose and jasmine scent of Jane Austen, there’s a candle for you. I personally think Oscar Wilde would make a fantastic candle for the kitchen–it’s cedarwood, thyme and basil!
Which author do you most want your house to smell like?
The Library Collection, $8-$28 at Paddywax.com.
When you need to show the love to your companion, make sure you’re rocking the Companion Cube underwear from Jinx.

Companion Cube Women’s Briefs, $12.99 at Jinx.com.

When I approached this booth at GeekGirlCon, I immediately understood their name. You can’t have any reaction other than “ZOMG Smells” when you see their offerings. Whether you like something musky, fruity, flowery, or sugary, there’s a scent for you. With names like “Baby Unicorn Birthday Party” and “SpaceBat,” you won’t be able to resist smelling them all. One of my faves was “Pink Seven, “ which, appropriately enough, included the scents of every pink thing the creator could find.
ZOMG Smells is seriously the geeky lady’s answer to flowery, silly perfumes. They’re available in 1ml vials or 5ml bottles on their website, and would make an awesome birthday, bridal shower, or bachelorette party gift.
Perfume, $2.50 for a vial or $14 for a bottle at www.zomgsmells.com.
You most likely don’t want to be known as the creepy house with overgrown weeds. If kids run away screaming from your lawn, and refuse to get baseballs that land in your backyard, then you may have a problem.
Brightnest solves that problem in a tech-savvy way. Sign up for the service, and they’ll post home-maintenance reminders as they apply to you. You’ll be reminded to do things like purchase a fire extinguisher, clean out your microwave, or weed your lawn. The reminders come with an estimated timeframe for the activity, and you can assign tasks to other members of your home. Brightnest also allows you to store information like paint chips, user manuals, and important phone numbers so they’re all in one place and don’t end up cluttering a drawer.
I love that the tips are often things I just don’t even think about. It sets me up to become a great homeowner/apartment-renter!
Sign up at Brightnest.com.
Fab.com has these fantastic Marvel lamps on sale. They’d be a perfectly geeky statement piece on a side table in a living room, or as the coolest bedroom nightstand lamp possible. I love that men and women both are featured in the various designs, and the price-point makes me want to get one for every room.
Where would you put one of these lamps?
Lamps with Marvel Comics Motifs, $28 at Fab.com.
I love leaving fun little soaps for houseguests, and until I found Twisted Kitten Creations, I would just put out various hotel soaps. Now? My guests will get to try their luck at rolling a set of soap dice. Although they just have their larger dice in stock online right now, hopefully they’ll start carrying the full dice sets and “jewel” soaps in the near future! They were a huge hit at Geek Girl Con.
Dice aren’t your thing? Check out their wine soap and “gelatinous cube” complete with monster finger puppet. It’s even Mountain Dew scented!
Soap, $5-8 at www.twistedkittencreations.com.
