Star Trek Gift Ideas George Takei Loves in 2019

Trekkies will like these presents.

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!

Star Trek Next Generation Enterprise Necklace

In The Next Generation, the Enterprise is so important that it even gives birth (yes, that was a weird episode for all). But the Enterprise has become a character in its own right.

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.

There are so many companies and products that have fallen by the wayside as time marched on.

Some companies we never thought we'd live without.

Some, we're glad to see crumble... I'm looking at you Columbia House.

Who else thought CDs for a dollar sounded too good to be true?

It's always surprising when you stumble upon a company or store still open that you could've sworn had shuttered long ago.

If only I could find a Shoney's.

Best breakfast buffet ever!

Because I certainly don't need anymore Amway.

With more people exercising their right to live a childfree life, or to at least start their families later than people used to, it's important for people to have access to forms of birth control that work for them.

For some, that means getting a vasectomy, but there are aspects to the procedure that most wish they had known before making the appointment.

The mundane activities we do on a daily basis put us into auto-pilot, where we don't have to think about what we're doing.

This occurs every day. But maybe we shouldn't assume things will always go well.

Think about it. Drivers who commute don't have to concern themselves with how to get to work or school. But can you assume the drivers with whom you share the road are safe drivers?

Diners at restaurants don't have to worry about eating the foods prepared for them. Are you sure there aren't any foreign–possibly sharp–objects in your entree?

Even acts that are simple as stepping into the shower early in the morning don't have to worry about a single thing.

Did you watch Final Destination?
