If there is one show it seems like most every geek (except me) is obsessed with over the past few years, it is Game of Thrones.  Well, if you are looking to spend a bit more than the other items on this list for the Game of Thrones loving geek in your life and want to get them something that would look great hanging above their fireplace, then look no further than this Longclaw sword (Jon Snow’s sword)!  This stainless steel sword comes with a beautiful wooden plaque and a certificate of authenticity as it is an officially licensed prop replica.  I wouldn’t recommend playing with this sword since its a sword after all and you could do something really stupid with it but I can’t say I wouldn’t play with it a bit before hanging it up.  If you want to get this Longclaw sword for the geek in your life or perhaps yourself, you can order it for a reasonable $249.99.
