Extra-nerdy gift ideas
Gift ideas for nerds who are a pain to shop for, extra nerdy edition.
If you are in my family, stop watching.
This arc lighter uses thousands of volts, and it is way cooler to use than a match, which it can light. Perfect for lighting the grill, campfire, or your conga candle.
Science-themed home and desk objects
Next, why use a pint glass when you can use a laboratory beaker? I love serving cocktails in my full pitcher-sized one.
This wine holder will make your dinner guests scratch their heads. Magic.
This gyroscope is fun to play with, but also just a really cool tool for teaching kids physics lessons. Of course, I mess it up all the time.
This 3D mirror scope creates a hologram of any sort of small item placed inside of it. It is a bit hard to show on camera, but it looks super cool in person.
Thermometers, color theory, and the periodic table
This old-school Galileo thermometer tells you the temperature of the air based on shifting density of water. These globes will sink or float based on how cold it is in the room.
These cubes will teach you more about color theory than anything since that Magic School Bus episode.
Alright, and I saved the coolest for last, which deserves its own video, and I probably will do that.
This is a periodic table, a periodic table with the actual elements inside of it in all sorts of different forms. That is real gold and real platinum. And watch this. See that guy glowing there? That is real uranium, thankfully properly shielded.
This one is expensive, but if you are looking for an expensive gift for someone really nerdy, it is amazing.
This guy and the lab glassware were sent to me by the small brands that make them, but honestly, they are super cool and you should go and support them. I have a discount code somewhere, I think. Check my website.
