View full detailsThe perfect gifts for the lab and for home
Where's the best place to start when you're looking for a gift for a scientist? Science T-shirts would be a great idea. These shirts aren't just nerdy, they also look great, and you only get them if you have a degree or a deep love for one or more scientific disciplines yourself. Even as a physicist you can be fascinated by medicine and therefore be delighted with medical gadgets as a gift. After all, you can never have enough nerdy T-shirts. Something else you can never have enough of, and which therefore makes a great gift, is mugs and cups, ideally with scientific designs you can really show off with in the lab or the office. And for anyone who prefers to look up at the sky, Astro-Tim has gadgets all about stars and planets.
Presents for newly minted PhDs
Writing a doctoral thesis is a pretty exhausting and lengthy affair. Many years of research, experiments and typing, just to finally hold that longed-for doctorate. Once you've made it, you really have earned a little something. A few funny science gadgets, for example. But don't worry, we also have gifts in stock for those who are still working on their PhD. For them, practical and funny office gadgets are a great choice, so typing up the thesis is a bit more fun. And we're not talking about any old office supplies, far from it. With us you'll only find wonderfully nerdy and geeky office helpers that will make every scientist's heart beat faster.
