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.
