'Tis the season to be jolly and Trek the halls with Spock and Tori. Sorry, I'll stop with the Christmas puns. The point is, we have the ultimate gift guide filled with Star Trek gift ideas for the fan in your life.
Go beyond the expected and get them something that fits a Trekkie's personality better. From hoodies to mugs, these gifts should give your besties a Starfleet Christmas to remember. You don't even need to celebrate Christmas to use it as an excuse to buy this fresh Star Trek merchandise.
Serious question though, do you think they celebrate the holidays in the USS Enterprise? I can't picture Spock caroling, but it would certainly be entertaining.
Either way, these will be perfect for the white elephant, secret Santa, or the Yankee swap.
Star Trek Next Generation Klingon Ugly Christmas Hoodie
Christmas is all about ugly sweaters. So, why not have an ugly hoodie. Worf would be proud or maybe embarrassed, of this ugly Christmas hoodie. But, hey it's part of the Christmas spirit, right? Plus, Klingons are pretty cool.
Star Trek The Next Generation Uniform Adult Crew Socks
Now, for a stocking stuffer, they can use year-round. These socks are the perfect gift to wear under any pair of pants. One of my favorite things is people who wear suits and funky socks. And The Next Generation uniform socks are perfect for just that. Just be careful when you wear red ones.
What Would Captain Kirk Do?: Intergalactic Wisdom from the Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise (Star Trek)
Captain Kirk gave us years of wisdom throughout Star Trek The Original Series. And, now there's a book that summarized all those years of lessons in five simple words: What Would Captain Kirk Do? Or as I like to say "WWCKD." We could all follow his advice every once in a while.
Starfleet Academy Denim Hat
Nothing says sci-fi fan quite like a baseball hat. This Starfleet Academy one is a great gift for anyone who wishes to mayor in Warp Design. Or something more realistic like Engineering. Or, if you're like me, perfect for a bad hair day. Either way, it's fun.
Star Trek Comic Print Star Trek Backpack Sublimated Backpack
And, what else does every Starfleet Academy student needs? A Star Trek-themed backpack. This comic print is fun and colorful. Plus, it's spacious enough to carry their laptop, books, and most importantly, snacks.
Vandor Star Trek Beam Me Up Scotty 20 Oz. Travel Mug
"Beam Me Up Scotty" has become a favorite phrase among Star Trek fans. I get it, being able to transport yourself anywhere within seconds sounds really fun and efficient. But, while scientists try to figure out teletransportation we can use this travel mug to drink coffee while we drive and pretend like we're not stuck in traffic. Any friend with a long commute will appreciate this gift.
Original Star Trek Patent Poster Prints
Engineers, interior designers, and basically anyone with a room will love these officially licensed prints. that feature four versions of the Enterprise. All the prints look old and cool so it's a great way to show your friend's fandom without redecorating their entire house. Any friend will love this detail to make their house feel more like home.
Star Trek Next Generation Make It Snow Christmas Sweatshirt
This is sweatshirt is the perfect mix of "Let it Snow" and "Make it so". Both very iconic phrases although for different reasons. It's the perfect combination of Christmas cheer and Captain Picard's seriousness. Get this sweatshirt for the friends who loves Christmas movies just as much as Star Trek.
Star Trek Ugly Christmas Sweater All-Over Long-Sleeve T-Shirt
Speaking of Christmas cheer. Does everyone have ugly sweater contests, or is that just my family? Either way, this Star Trek Christmas sweater is worthy of a prize. It looks like the enterprise vomited on an elf, and we love it.
Star Trek Transporter Heat Changing Mug
Heat changing mugs are cool. You add coffee or tea and suddenly Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Uhura go from the transporter room to a planet's surface. I guess this is the closest thing to beaming down that we'll have for a while. Plus, mugs are the perfect secret Santa gift.
2020 Star Trek Discovery Calendar
Do you know what comes after Christmas? A new year! That means that last year's planners and calendars become obsolete. So, anyone will appreciate this limited edition 2020 calendar. Particularly anyone who loves planning and being organized.
Star Trek Captain's Log Passport Sized Mini Notebook
Journaling is one of the most common self-care methods. And, we all know the importance of self-care. So, help your friend decompress and take care of themselves a little more by getting them a notebook. And, not just any notebook. This is a Captain's Log notebook so they can record anything exciting that happened to them during the day and feel like a true Starfleet Captain.
Too Many Tribbles! Star Trek Little Golden Book for Kids
It is never to early to introduce kids to the world of Star Trek. After all, exploring and learning is something kids love to do. What better way to introduce them to space, the final frontier, than with a children's book. Kiddos will love the adventures the crew gets into. And, they'll learn about the importance of curiosity at an early age.
Vandor Star Trek Beer Glass Set
But for the adults, there are also some awesome gifts. This beer glass set includes Captain Kirk and Spock. It is perfect for a friend's Christmas party. The set is also great for that person who always seems to be the life of the party or for the person who loves to get home and unwind with their favorite beer and favorite show.
Star Trek The Next Generation Family Car Decals
We all have that friend that has become the ultimate parent. You know, the one that has the minivan. They are proud of their family and carry pictures of their kids in the wallet. It's adorable. The only thing missing is those car stickers that feature the entire family. Well, we found their gift. These car stickers include so many characters from The Next Generation that they'll be able to have their kids, partner, parents, cousins, uncles and family friends represented in the back of their minivan. Now, they just have to fight over who gets to be Captain Picard and Data.
