This Thanksgiving, reflect and give thanks for not only your family and friends, but that other nerdy women out there are creating products that can make your life just that much better. I’ve taken the liberty of rounding up seven essential products with nerdy origins that I believe women should be thankful exist!
From clothing to makeup to subtle homages to your favorite sci-fi show, this list can be used as a jump-start to your present shopping, whether it be for the upcoming holiday season, a birthday, or a just-because gift! Most importantly, all of these items are made by women, or a business that has a lady partner – some are husband and wife teams!
