10 Things to Consider When Browsing Star Trek Gifts
Searching for the perfect Star Trek gift? Keep these 10 things in mind while you shop and you’ll be sure to find the perfect thing!
1. Figure out their favorite Star Trek version
Are they diehard fans of the original show? Are they a more recent fan that loves the latest movies? Do they prefer comics?
Some fans love it all, but most have a certain iteration that they love the most.
Keep that in mind to help focus you in on a certain grouping of items for your Trekkie.
2. Educate them
If you are dealing with a true Star Trek fan, they want to know anything and everything about the fictional universe.
That is totally possible thanks to the various books and encyclopedias developed to explain everything- and we mean everything.
Perfect for the self-proclaimed number 1 fan. They need to know it all, and now they can!
3. One word: Tribble
The tribbles are so cute! Thanks to technology today you can own your very own Tribble, and we can’t think of anything that would make for a better technology gift for a Star Trek fan.
They may technically be an invasive species and be an enemy, but they are just so cute.
There’s no ‘trouble’ here with this gift idea (see what we did there? If you’re a fan- you know!)
4. Go for trivia
Like we’ve mentioned, there is a lot to know when it comes to the entire Star Trek franchise. Put the fan’s knowledge to the test with some fun trivia!
There are plenty of trivia games that have been developed from the series, and it makes a great addition to any game night.
Just make sure if you aren’t a major fan that you team up with someone who is!
5. Replica tech
There were so many cool gadgets that were used on Star Trek, and thankfully, plenty has been recreated so that you can have your own version!
This makes for a great gift that someone can either play with or save as a collector’s item.
6. Think practical, yet cool
Because of Star Trek’s popularity, you can get just about any item you can imagine as a Star Trek version. That means even the most practical of items can be made fun!
From backpacks to toasters, to bottle openers, oven mitts, doormats, and more, you can find seriously anything.
This is great if you are shopping for someone who maybe just moved into their own place or is going off to college and needs stuff for their dorm room.
Not only will they put these items to good use, but they’ll also fully enjoy them as well!
7. Clothing is always a good idea
You can’t go wrong with getting a cool t-shirt or hoodie. True Star Trek fans aren’t afraid to show off their love for the franchise, and a great way to do so is with clothing!
There are tons of cool designs out there for adults and kids, so this is great for anyone you might be shopping for.
8. Live Long and prosper
Any gift that features this greeting is a great gift idea. It’s just that simple!
Whether it is a t-shirt, a piece of wall art, or even a Star Trek-themed coffee mug, you can’t go wrong with the classic saying.
9. Add to their collection
Do you know a Star Trek fan that has started a collection of various memorabilia? If so, a great gift is to help them add to their collection!
Figure out what it is they collect and also of course what they already own.
You don’t want to get them a duplicate. Getting them something new for their collection is a gift they will really love and appreciate.
And one day, it just may be worth a lot of money!
10. Go interactive with games
Of course, the franchise has inspired tons of various games, and they make for a great gift for any fan that likes to feel as though they are part of the universe themselves!
This is perfect if you know a geek or nerd who has a lot of fellow Trekkie friends, as they can all share in the gift and play it together. What could be more fun?
