‘Tis the season! 🎁
And that means that now’s the time to get something nice for all the science lovers in your life. Below we’ll point you to our absolute favorite gifts for this year — most of which are currently on sale!
*Be sure to order your gifts between December 8-10th for the best chance to receive them by December 24th.
❤️ For Your Favorite Relatives:
 | This subscription box from Vsauce’s Michael Stevens is pretty spectacular (and we’re not just saying that because the MinuteEarth book was included as an item in a recent box). You can get one box for $60 with the quarterly plan, or the annual plan is $220 for four boxes. Not cheap, but each box is filled with fascinating science gadgets, books, shirts, games, and more. |
“I love how thoughtful and unique each item in every box is - it never gets boring!”
 | Get three awesome gifts in one bundle for less than $40. You’ll get our awesome book, a MinuteEarth logo T-shirt, and a sweet whale pin. It’s really something to spout about! (Ok I’ll stop.) |
🚀 For Your Nerdy Besties:
 | Everyone loves a good notebook, and this Sidekick Notepad from our fellow stick figure CGP Grey is one of my favorites. It’s gorgeous, high-quality, and is designed specifically as an analog assistant for people who do most of their work on computers. It’s $42, so only get one for really good friends :) |
“One of the best gifts I’ve gotten in a long time - I use it every day!”
 | I freaking love these stickers - so shiny and interesting and educational! They look so nice on a laptop or a water bottle. |
 | The 6th plushie in Tyler Thrasher’s ‘Thrashie’ series! Our team is obsessed with any kind of interactive plushie, and this one is at the top of the list. |
🧸 For Young Kids:
 | A ten book series chock full of animals, science, mystery and adventure. Great for reading along with kids, and super reasonably priced - only about $6.50 per book. |
“They're so freaking cute, and do a pretty good job teaching about the scientific process.”
🎒 For Slightly Older Kids:
 | The story of the ingenious breakthroughs behind ten of the most important inventions ever, containing biographies of more than 50 different inventors. All on a big beautifully illustrated board book that costs about $21. |
“This is a wonderful book to show a young person excited about engineering that anyone can be an inventor.”
🍳 For The Foodies:
 | Our best-seller (and it’s not even particularly close). Cute, interesting, and super useful. And always nearby on your fridge whenever you need to decide what to do with your fruit! |
 | Kitchen nerds unite! Share your feelings about the proper way to cook with this ridiculously cool shirt from the MinuteFood collection. |
 | Once you know the trivia - all these veggies are the exact same species!?! - then it’s time to spread the good news with the brassica lovers in your life. |
📚️ For The Book Worms:
 | One of the most fun books to read to young kids - plus, you get to make all sorts of noises! |
 | Maddie Moate’s awesome kid’s book about some science behind your favorite Christmas traditions: |
 | Emily Calandrelli (now the 100th woman to go into space!) just released this fun book with hands-on science experiments you can do with your children (or with your inner child, no one can stop you). |
 | Our friends at xkcd released the Special 10th anniversary edition of What If? In this book Randall answers even more silly questions about Physics and Space with full sincerity. |
 | Awesome illustrations and a fun kids story about travelling across the universe. |
 | Pretty much any book by Oliver Jeffers is great, but this one is a good start. |
