As we've mentioned before, there are plenty of gift options for a movie lover who has a particular affinity for a big franchise. There is no shortage of merchandise related to a series like Star Trek, but sometimes there are so many items to choose from, it's hard to narrow it down. We've done the hunting to find the very best gifts for the Trekkie Trekker on your list.
For the Kitchen Cabinet
When the topic of gifts for Trekkers came up here at Reelz, the
Enterprise Pizza Cutter
sold by Think Geek was unanimously coveted. It’s one of those things that every
Star Trek fan wants, but it’s silly enough few of us want to buy it for ourselves, which makes it the perfect option for a gift. An even better bet would be the
Star Trek party pack, which includes the cool pizza cutter in addition to an awesome Klingon corkscrew and an amazing Enterprise bottle opener.
For Lounging Around
Another excellent
Star Trek gift that nearly every Trekker we know wants is a
bath robe in Starfleet-command-uniform gold. There's also a shorter robe available, but it only comes in an Uhura-inspired red. That seems silly to us, because we definitely think Captain Kirk would have preferred the shorter option. He’d want to show off those legs, right?
For the Stocking
For a smaller, stocking-stuffer-type gift we love this
Starfleet Academy notebook. Even though the phoenix logo is prominent on the cover, it's not obvious that it's a
Star Trek reference to those who aren't in the know. Another item that's good for something small is this
gift card we found on Etsy that reads "Dear Twilight fans, Thank you for making us look sane and well-adjusted.
Sincerely,
Trekkies." While it's a little pricey at six bucks a card, it'll be sure to bring priceless delight to a snarky, Twi-hating Trekker.
For the Lady Trekker Who Loves TNG
Not every
Star Trek fan is a nerdy guy. There are some hot, cool chicks —
Mila Kunis, for example — who can hold their own in a Kirk vs. Piccard conversation, and there are excellent girly gifts inspired by
Star Trek for them as well. The ladylike pro-Piccard fan can wear her feelings on her arm with this lovely aluminum
Make It So bracelet without feeling mannish at all.
The holiday season is upon us, and Ten Forward is all decked out in festive decor, so don't wait around to start ordering these gifts.
