For the Trekkie Mom:
Let’s face it, your mom was the first geek you knew. Before you were uncool, she was well beyond the frontier of geekery. “The Final Frontier”, if you will. And what better way to show you care than a little cross-generational geek appreciation? Not to mention, every geek outsider out there appreciates the social frontiers that Star Trek boldly broke through. So, celebrate the bada** geeky lady in your life with the boundary-busting women of Star Trek: The Original Series. Throw a geeky slumber party, complete with comfy pj’s and the complete collection of The Original Series to choose from!
Then don your matching insignia pins and take her to see the new Star Trek: Into Darkness movie opening night!
For the Comics Fan Mom
With a little Mod Podge, some old comics, and a little craftiness, you can make some display-friendly comic book storage:
Or dig through the bins at your local comics shop or scour Ebay for older or rare comics featuring strong female characters, like …
For the Gamer Mom
First things first, your mom is awesome.
For the multi-talented gamer mom, get her a multi-platform gaming headset, like the Astro A30 so she can game in peace on PC, console, or mobile.
For the gamer mom with a newborn, pick up a nifty nursing pillow, so baby can munch while mom keeps her hands free to showcase her hardcore Portal skills to her little future geek. Preferably an awesome one like these…gotta geek ’em young.
For the online gamer mom (and the last-minute kid), find out what she plays and buy her either virtual points for her platform or see about buying her in-game currency!
For the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geek Mom
Sign her up for the Science Fiction Book Club or buy her a gift card to your local bookstore and make a day of it — Brunch, and then head to the bookstore to discover new sci-fi and fantasy books you can read together.
Here’s a few new books we’re a fan of here at Geek Outsider:
For the Cosplay Mom
Head to your local crafts store and stock up on sewing materials (needles, thread, fabric markers, fabric) and craft materials (dyes, zippers, wonderflex) and put together a cosplayer care package.
Or find out her cosplay plans for the upcoming con and hook her up with some essential costume elements s she’ll need to blow minds at con!
For the Not-So-Geeky Mom
So maybe your mom isn’t so geeky, maybe she never understood what you saw in all those weird fantasy lands, video games, and “cartoons”, but perhaps she supported your geeky ways anyway. Maybe this Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show her just how cool the stuff you’re into really is…
Create a couple new accounts on the MMO you play, or pick a 2-player console game and have a mother-son/daughter gaming session.
Rewatch your favorite sci-fi show with her.
Buy her a copy of your favorite fantasy novel or comic book series and reread it with her.

Fabulous
Thanks! All the best for your Mother’s Day!
My mother put me on to Asimov. Made me watch ‘Planet of the Apes’ and ‘The Incredible Shrinking Man’ on sick days.
And that photo at the bottom, with the girl and her mother playing video games is….perfect
I would’ve been “sick” all the time! You’re mom is great!
If I have a kid, I am going to make it do the coolest stuff.
Geek all the kids!
