Gifts for physicists

Gift ideas for physicists

Finding a suitable present for someone who decodes the forces that hold the universe together for a living may seem like a daunting and challenging task at first glance. But you can rest assured, because we have put together the best gifts for physicists you can imagine. T-shirts with jokes that only a real physicist can understand, matching mugs for coffee between two experiments and fascinating gadgets for home use are just the tip of the gift iceberg that lies dormant on these pages.

Physics gifts that are worth seeing

The world of unique and great physics gifts is practically as big as the universe that physicists decipher. Well, maybe not quite as big, but still. With so much choice, sometimes you don't know what to give as a gift. Maybe a couple of lab coats? A calculator? Or maybe The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy merch, which also has something to do with physics. One unique gift idea is science T-shirts. Not only will they make your wardrobe nerdier, the motifs and sayings on the T-shirts not only look great, they can also only be understood by real science geeks. If you show up in the lab with something like that, everyone else will definitely look at you enviously. Such a reaction would of course make you particularly proud as the gift giver of such a geeky T-shirt.

Gifts for fans of science facts and science fiction

When looking for a suitable gift, you don't have to limit yourself to the endless variety of physics gifts. If the physics nerd you're giving the gift to is also interested in science fiction and how our technology might develop in the future, then sci-fi gadgets are also a suitable, nerdy gift idea. Maybe a Star Wars mug, Doctor Who merch or a Star Trek construction kit would be just the thing to show others how enthusiastic you are about sci-fi. And if you still don't know what to give: pretty much every self-respecting nerd will be happy with something that has the number 42 on it. Just have a look around and you're guaranteed to find something like that ;).
