Ever heard of a man cave? Well, a nerd cave is the same thing, only for... you guessed it! Nerds.
It's the basement that you and your friends gather to play board games or duke it out in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
It's also where you snack on Doritos and rewatch the Pokémon series for the hundredth time. Maybe even dive into a virtual reality world when you need to get away.
If your room doesn't have quirky trinkets or video game-themed furniture, you're not geeking out hard enough! It's time for a major overhaul of your home nerd cave. Decorate your den with these fun and awesome geeky accessories.

Want to make your nerd cave seem more like a futuristic chamber? Hang this luminous infinity mirror on your wall and you'll feel the atmosphere change in an instant.

Or you can choose the color phasing mode to softly switch between them automatically. It stands at 8 inches tall, perfect for a desk, shelf, or wherever you want to put it.
4. Xbox Logo Light

Or hang them individually. It's up to you! I'm personally a fan of The Mandalorian, what with his swagger and aura.
