The perfect gifts for the laboratory and for the home

Where do you start when looking for a gift for scientists? A great idea would be scientific T-shirts. These shirts are not only nerdy, they also look great and you can only understand them if you have a degree or a great love for one or more scientific disciplines. Even as a physicist you can be enthusiastic about medicine and therefore be happy to receive medical gadgets as a gift. After all, you can never have enough or too many nerdy T-shirts. What you can also never have enough of and which therefore also make great gifts are mugs and cups, preferably with scientific motifs, which you can really show off in the lab or in the office.

Gifts for newly graduated doctorates

Writing a doctoral thesis is a very tiring and time-consuming business. It takes many years of research, investigation and typing to finally be able to hold the long-awaited doctorate in your hands. But when you've done it, you really deserve a little something. A few fun science gadgets, for example. But don't worry, we also have gifts in store for those who are still working on their doctorate. For them, it's a good idea to give practical and fun office gadgets as a gift, so that typing your doctoral thesis is a bit more fun. But of course this isn't about just any old office supplies, far from it. With us you will only find wonderfully nerdy and geeky office aids that will make every scientist's heart beat faster.
