Have you got a neighboring Sci-Fi fanatic? Does he/she follow the Jedi Faith? Or are they a Sith? Here are some great gift suggestions to keep their intergalactic minds whizzing.
#5: ForceFX Lightsabre
"This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age." – Obi Wan
What is Star Wars memorabilia without Lightsabres? It's not Star Wars. The ultimate gift for any Star Wars geek is definitely a proper lightsabre. But there's loads to choose from – and this one is probably the best. With many features such as contact sound effects and whizzing effects, as well as the light moving up the tube when ignited, it's the most realistic lightsabre out there.
It's kinda costly, but we'd recommend it to appease the simplest fanatic. Check they don't have it before.
Oh and make sure they're not a Trek Fan.

#2: Tauntaun Sleeping Bag
"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!" – Han SoloIt's beautiful. Sleep inside a Tauntaun – and if you use it enough, it sure will smell worse on the inside. Whatever, this is a classic idea of when you make something as a joke and it becomes mainstream. The attention to detail is amazing – the lightsaber zip made me chuckle. It comes with saddle, printed internal intestines, proper head and plush lighsaber pull.
