Star Trek Gift Ideas

We can all stop pretending that we don't care about getting gifts for our birthday or the holidays, and we have some "Star Trek" gift ideas that can help if you are a bit stuck on what to get those around you.

Yeah, spending time with those we love is very important, and blah blah, but gifts are fun, and they're an excellent way to show people you love them, and sometimes you pay attention to what they like.


Whether you live in the Star Trek universe or good old regular Earth, getting a gift for someone can show that you care about them, no matter the price. Finding the perfect gift for someone can be like a sport. But it can be hard and confusing. After all, even Spock found the perfect gift for Captain Kirk's birthday—even if the message was a bit confusing.

KIRK: It had the virtue of never having been tried. Oh, by the way... thank you for this.

SPOCK: I know of your fondness for antiques.

KIRK: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Message, Spock?

SPOCK: None that I'm conscious of... except, of course, happy birthday."

Needless to say, I think Trekkies will like these presents.

Star Trek Transporter Heat Changing Mug

Transporting is still not a reality. Dispersing someone at a molecular level and rebuild them in a different location still seems scary and way in the future. But, we have something that comes close.

This heat changing mug has Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Uhura start at the transporter room and appear on a Planet's surface when you add your favorite coffee or tea. The colder the weather gets the more appropriate this gift is, so it's perfect for a Holiday party. Energize!

This tiny version of the USS Enterprise is the perfect stocking stuffer or for that person that won't leave their house without their jewelry. And goes well with any outfit. Plus, it is one way to remind people where their loyalty stands.

Whether we like it or not, the fact that each and every one of us will expire one day and go off into whatever the next phase of existence is is a harsh reality.

So we might as well make the most of the time we have while we're here and leave our mark.

What kind of legacy would you want to leave for the succeeding generations?

Legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel once famously quipped, "before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory."

Indeed, sometimes it is truly remarkable how one item, be it a wrap, a hat or a brooch, can ruin the whole effect of an outfit.

In some extreme cases, it might also result in making someone's physical appearance seem worse than it is, by inadvertently emphasizing one of their less flattering features.

Then too, there are various accessories or types of clothing which simply never look good on anyone, under any circumstances.

I've embraced the single life.

It's been a decade, so I really had no other choice.

And I can tell you there are plenty of pros to the situation.

When we're single, it seems like we're addicted to focusing on the cons.

But if you start by appreciating yourself more, the pros list grows.

Not watching rom-coms is a big one for me.

And, of course, having a plethora of pins and voodoo dolls of your loved ones and their partners.

I kid. A little.

Too many of us were told to grow up or that it would be wrong to continue to enjoy the things that made our childhoods worth remembering.

But now as adults, some have figured out that there's nothing wrong with enjoying a nice bowl of sugary cereal while watching those Saturday morning cartoons. Quite frankly, it feeds the soul.
