Bargainist Gift Guide: Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

While shares of Facebook stock seem to be riding a rollercoaster, hopefully it’s smooth sailing for Mark Zuckerberg and his new bride Priscilla Chan. The twenty-eight-year-old Facebook founder married Chan in a secret backyard ceremony at their Palo Alto home. Of course, Mark made it official by updating his Facebook status to “Married Priscilla Chan.” Even guests didn’t know they were attending a wedding. So for everyone who didn’t have a chance to get the happy couple a wedding gift, here are some ideas.

Groom Hoodie Few things will prompt Mark Zuckerberg to remove his uniform—a Facebook issued hoodie. Even though he wore a suit for his wedding, he will probably appreciate marking the occasion with a fresh new hoodie featuring a bride and groom with the words “game over.” It’s $24.99 at buycoolshirts.com.

Like Cufflinks
For the rare occasions when Mark Zuckerberg does throw on a suit, the Thumbs Up Cufflinks from ThinkGeek.com will honor his company’s “like” feature. At $19.99, they’re a great way for Zuckerberg to update his social status.

Matching Sunglasses
Priscilla Chan reportedly bought her wedding dress under an alias and we already know Zuckerberg tends to be a private person. Matching dark sunglasses will help them stay in disguise during newlywed outings. One pair of Unisex Gold Aviator Sunglasses is just $13.99 at Overstock.com.

Goodnight iPad Children’s Book
First comes love; then comes marriage; then comes baby in the baby carriage? If that’s true than it may not be too early to get a gift for the future baby Zuckerberg. And what better gift than a parody on the popular children’s classic Goodnight iPad? The book, printed on paper by the way, urges readers to put down their iPhones, Androids and Blackberries, bidding their Facebook friends goodnight. Pick up a copy for $10.99 at BarnesandNoble.com.

Harvard Stadium Blanket
Somehow Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerberg don’t seem like the type to register at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Instead of fancy linens they would probably appreciate a Harvard Stadium Blanket, $34.95, even more. The couple met at Harvard and although Zuckerberg eventually dropped out, Chan earned a bachelor’s degree.
