MTF Holiday Gift Guide! The Top Five Presents For Geek Moms! Plus Win Supergirl: The Complete First Season On DVD!
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the BD/DVD I am featuring in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.
For day two of our Holiday Gift Guide, we turn to the person who is always there for us, the person who comforts us, bandages our knees and then kicks our butts when we’re getting lazy, I can only be talking about… Moms!
And I’ll tell you, there are no bigger Geeks than Moms. I’ve seen it at every con and I can’t tell you how many episodes of Star Trek I’ve watched with my Mom over the years!
We’ll have a gift guide everyday this week and again, thanks to our awesome sponsors… We have a giveaway each day this week as well! Are you excited? I know I am.
Here are our picks for the Geek Mom in your life!
The Star Wars Family Decal set!
THE FORCE IS STRONG IN THIS CAR We had some fun conversations in the office as we tried to come up with families that we could create with this set of stickers. Dad as Darth Vader, Mom as Slave Leia? Ew, no. Dad as Chewbacca, Mom as Padmé Amidala? Let’s not think about that. Dad as Han Solo and Mom as Leia would work, but would they really produce a Yoda and a tiny Stormtrooper? Show off your family’s love of Star Wars with this set of 50 character decals, featuring 19 distinct characters from the saga.
Everyone can pick the character that suits them best with plenty of decals left over for a second vehicle, a bedroom window, or an X-wing Fighter. If anyone asks about the canonically-impossible family on your back windshield, just blame your children. Nobody could be mad at their adorable faces for pairing up Luke Skywalker and C3PO.

Born on the doomed planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped at the same time as her cousin, Superman, but didn’t arrive on Earth until years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Raised by her adopted family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to hide the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin. Years later, at age 24, and now living in National City while working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen, her bioengineer sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.

I like that on Supergirl Dean Cain has a role on the show. Thank you for the chance to win!
I don’t have a favorite thing-I haven’t seen Supergirl!
It has a pretty good understanding of Superman as a character.
Love the easter eggs and the use of actors who’ve been part of the DC comics tv and movie history.
always like superpowers
I like the two sides of her personality – supergirl and then kara.
-Lauren
I like Supergirl because it gives us a different look at the Superman universe. I don’t think they could’ve picked a better actress than Melissa Benoist to portray Supergirl. I like that Dean Cain is involved, imo the best Superman, and I can’t wait to see Tyler Hoechlin as Superman more. If given the chance he can stand right along Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain as the best Superman ever.
I actually haven’t seen it yet, but it’s looks pretty cool. Thanks for the chance!
I must say, I love seeing Supergirl using her heat vision. Visually, it looks great and powerful, plus Melissa Benoist sells it.
I like that she is a woman who knows how to kick butt!
