Finding the perfect gift for your favorite Trekkie can be complicated. But, we searched all over and found the best gifts for the men in your life.
Sure, you can always get them a cute card or something, but sometimes unusual or creative gifts are the best. And the best ones are fantastic Star Trek props and trinkets. And I'm sure your brother, boyfriend, boy who is a friend, or uncle will love everything from a drone to a bottle opener.
If it's their birthday, you might want to go all out (although usually, it's the thought that counts), but we also have small stocking stuffers or gifts that will help them remember how much you care. So whether it's just a t-shirt or something more personal, it's creativity and intention that counts.
Metal Earth 3D Model Kits - Star Trek Set of 2 - Klingon Vor'Cha Class & Klingon Bird-of-Prey
If your special someone happens to love Klingons (cause they are the best), and they happen to love building models and replicating their favorite starships these two will be a great gift! They can build both a Vor'Cha Class spaceship and a Bird-of-Prey. You know, just in case we ever need someone who understands Klingon engineering.
Star Trek USS Enterprise Pizza Cutter
For the pizza lovers out there we have the only tool you'll ever need. It's perfect for the chefs who love to command the kitchen with their own pizza recipes, or for those who would rather order delivery. It's also great for a "Star Trek" themed pizza party or to eat alone while you're binging your favorite Star Trek series. Maybe you can also get inspired by Troi's favorite desserts and have pizza and chocolate cake.
I Am Functioning Within Normal Parameters Coffee Mugs
Mr. Laforge: How are you Data?
Data: How am I? I'm functioning within normal parameters.
That is still one of my favorite quotes of The Next Generation. This heat changing mug is for all Data fans out there. As long as we have hot coffee or "Tea. Earl Gray. Hot" I think we will be functioning within normal parameters.
Star Trek Inflatable Captain's Chair
Your very own captain's chair from the original series to feel like Captain Kirk. Once it's inflated you will be inclined to say things in a dramatic Starfleet captain fashion like "red alert!" You'll be commanding your own bridge in no time. Although, maybe stay away from sharp objects when using it.
CafePress Starfleet Academy Drinking Glass
We all know that part of going to college is finding your favorite beer glass. Yes, even in Starfleet. Just because they were all studying hard to become the next Starfleet officer doesn't mean students don't know how to party. After all, even Jean Luc Picard was somewhat of a party boy back in the days. So, cheers! or "IwlIj jachjaj" as Klingons would say. Which directly translates to "may your blood scream."
Star Trek Starfleet Starships Vinyl Wall Clock
We all know those guys who seem to have just moved into their apartment. There's nothing more than a bed and maybe a La-Z-Y Boy chair. It might be a "men" thing but honestly, some people need to put a little more effort into their homes. Help them feel more at home by adding some personality to their space. This wall clock will ensure that they're always on time and happens to look incredibly cool. You could also give them a poster, but most people have those. A clock seems way more original, plus it has all the starships.
CafePress I'd Rather Be Watching Star Trek Stainless Steel Travel Mug
Star Trek fans are also on the go, but we all know we'd rather be at home eating snacks and binging Star Trek (although many argue between The Original Series and The Next Generation). They need caffeine intake to be as efficient as Data analyzing some mathematical equations. So, this is the gift that allows them to live their life on the go while being direct about their intentions. Because, yes, we'd all rather be watching Star Trek.
Monopoly Klingon Collector's Edition
Monopoly is also known as the board game that has separated families for as long as it has been around. And, that may apply to the whole galaxy. Now, imagine playing Monopoly with a bunch of Klingons that might not be so nice about losing. It sounds like a fun night that will bring the competitive nature out of anyone. The game is also bilingual in English and Klingon. Still, a great gift.
Funko POP TV: Star Trek The Next Generation - Jean-Luc Picard Action Figure
You can't go wrong with a Funko POP figure of your favorite Trekkie's favorite character. This officially licensed figure of Captain Picard is so cute anyone will want to collect all the TNG officers. In fact, they should try to collect all Star Trek Funko POP! figures.
Star Trek Handle Phaser Gun Replica
Phaser guns are one of the coolest aspects of Starfleet. This replica is exactly the one they use in Star Trek Discovery, and it is one way to have a tiny part of the Star Trek universe. Plus, it's fun to pretend you can stun those who are annoying you.
Star Trek U.S.S Enterprise Remote Control Drone
Drones are the logical first step to piloting your own starship. That is how Captain Archer began his interest in engineering and what lead him to the Enterprise. So, maybe by giving someone this gift you can spark the interest of our future engineers.
Brothers Star Trek: USS Enterprise Bottle Opener
Any beer lover has his favorite bottle opener. This one is the Enterprise. I'm sure Captain Picard wouldn't love the idea of using the Enterprise to open a bottle of Bud Light, but it looks classy and cool and Picard doesn't have to know.
Aquarius Star Trek 50th Anniversary 3000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
This jigsaw puzzle includes over 100 characters featured in the original series. This 3000 piece puzzle will definitely take some time to complete but once it's done I'm sure they'll spend even more time trying to name all the characters.

I miss people being sane. Though that maybe election cycle issues not COVID. We'll never know.

"I live very close to Disneyland so I have an annual pass. My friends and I would just go there after work and hang out and grab a bite to eat."
"Now, we have to reserve a day to go. And most of the time, the days are at 'full' capacity so we couldn't even reserve. I don't want to schedule to hang out at Disneyland for a couple hours for July. So yeah, I definitely miss the 'lets go eat at Disneyland tonight?' texts."

"Functioning global supply chains. Ah, the product you want has got microchips in it? 9 month wait."

"Minimum, I'd been saying for a while now that I wouldn't expect a true return to normalcy in terms of electronics prices till 2024-2025. Although Crypto crashing through the floor really took some of the pressure off graphics cards which I really appreciate."
statiiic
WTF?!?!
"How affordable everything was!"
Disastrous_Hour_6776
"Yep. Today I was bagging up my things at the grocery store and I heard the cashier say to the lady behind me 'thats $78.12.' She had -- 2 boxes of Kellogg's corn flakes, a carton of 12 eggs, milk, strawberries, raspberries, blue berries, a small cheese cake, English muffins, coffee, and a small whole frozen chicken that could maybe feed 3 people if the meat portioning was small."

All of this... it was a simpler time.

"They applauded you for being an essential worker but won’t vote for policies that’ll raise minimum wage while insisting a wage cap for heavily paid employees."

CHANGES your DNA...
"Some of the people closest to me became very bitter and petty over the last 2 years. So many people have the 'crazy eyes' now."
__--__7
"So true and holidays with the family is like who has the biggest tinfoil hat building contest. How many jumps does your brain have to go through to think that the Covid vaccine CHANGES your DNA into the patented DNA so that the government now controls your body."
"So like vaccinated people now have a singular DNA set. I feel like I still have a chunk of my brain just broken off due to that comment alone. I was also told by same family member that I could never donate blood again due to the vaccine. I guess it is so my patented DNA doesn't affect people?? FYI my vaccinated butt just donated today fine and multiple other times after the vaccine."

"I'm resigned to never thinking I have a chance on owning property where I live. I'm 30 and just can't imagine it anymore. And I don't want to live anywhere else so, whatever."

"All Day Breakfast at McDonalds."
hutch2522
"It was honestly hell to do, and not very popular. ITs margins aren't anywhere dinner and lunch specials. ON top of that, the temperatures are such that They require its own grill, meaning that if you have 2 grills in shop, you are down 50% of lunch capacity."

Peace Out
"More than 2 decades ago, a priest was giving a sermon in my church and he said 'our faith requires you to believe without question. Why call it faith if you have to ask questions?' I haven't returned to church. Not until my wedding day but you know what I mean."
asiangontear
Delusion
"When I was young I used to think that after death you would have access to a PC that you could see absolutely anything about your life. Stats, any question you had no matter how obscure, replays of moments, perspectives of others in relation to you. No matter what you wanted to know, if it was relatable to you, you could see it. I know it's silly, but as time goes on I just want it to be real, and I don't think I'd have any issue allowing myself to fall into that delusion."
eggwardpenisglands
I think nothing happens...
"Realistically, I think nothing happens. We literally experience nothing after death. Same thing that we experience before birth. We don't exist, so it's nothing. I think the tenant that we should follow while living is to try to be happy and healthy while minimizing the damage we do to each other."
"What I would LIKE to happen after death is whatever you believe in, exists. I think Christians should get to go to heaven if they truly believe in it, Hindus and Buddhists get reincarnated, and everyone else also gets to experience what they believe they will experience."
"'I would still experience Nothing. Maybe it's one of those things where at the moment of death their brain makes them experience what feels like an infinitely long moment in time where they experience their afterlife. I just think it would be neat for everybody."

Happy GIFGiphy"Best advice I received from a dear senior on their way out. 'You win some, you lose some' shrug. Nothing divine, life is that simple and wonderful, accept it and move on."

It all sounds pretty simple. Why are people so up in arms about Atheists?

"Nothing. [Serious]."
rumblingtummy29
"I feel this way about death. When I was 5, my grandfather died and my cousin simple said, he is dead, that means you are gone forever. Everything ends up dying, even plants and animals. I'm now in my 40's and still have this simplistic view of life and death. People think I'm ambivalent to life and death but it's just what it is."
thepigfish82
puppet-masters...
"I think a lot of religious people struggle with the fact that we are all just swirling units of chaos. There is no grand plan or great orchestrator. I think that’s why people who are prone to religion are also susceptible to things like Q anon and the Cabal and all that. They REALLY want to believe that there is some almighty puppet-master who determines all of humanity’s fate."
Lngtmelrker
“we’re living in a society!”
"Just be a kind and empathetic person not because you’re worried about some cosmic justice, but because it’s the right thing to do. If there is some being that created us there’s no way they actually care about believing in it or adhering to some rules from over 2000 years ago."
"Also a big thing for me is that I find the idea that you need religion or the Bible in order to have morals and ethics pretty dumb. It’s pretty f**king clear that most evangelicals have neither. But my main thing is being a good person simply because, as George Costanza once said we’re living in a society!' If you’re only a good person in order to make it to heaven you probably aren’t actually a good and moral person."

Lotto People
"Getting stuck behind people playing the lottery at a corner store."
thenuggetlover
"I also used to work in a gas station and you’re SO right. I f**king hated the lottery people. Especially since my store had a small staff and there was usually only one of us working at a time, which meant that I couldn’t get any of my other work done as long as they were there."
"And you’re right, it’s also pretty sad to watch. I had one lady who used to come in every day and spent hundreds and HUNDREDS of dollars on scratch tickets. One day, she won $200 after spending probably around $600 and she was so excited and saying she can 'finally pay her bills.'"
i-am-your-god-now
Aware...
"No situational awareness. Job, home, shopping, driving. Think for one minute and go about. OBSERVE!!"
Dizzy-Foundation8122
"My mom is one of those people who leave the shopping cart in the middle of the damn aisle and proceed to walk twenty feet away. After correcting her a million times to no effect I just walk away now so people don’t know I’m with her."
OutrageousEvent
Shut Up!
"Endless barking in the middle of the night, I love animals but that sh*t I can't stand."
Acceptable-Lemon2924
"Endless barking in general drives me up a wall. One of my friends dogs was barking almost an entire gaming session the other day. I wanted to reach through the computer and smack him for letting it go on."

"My upstairs neighbors."
lutzow89
"I had terrible neighbors at my previous apartment. It was a one person studio for students, but her boyfriend was clearly living with her illegally and he was loud."
"One night we knocked n the door at 3 AM because of the loud music and an unknown girl opened the door. I just thought they were having a little party. But the next door I saw the girl living there come home with a suitcase after having been away for the weekend... Her BF was cheating on her in her own apartment."
Th3_Accountant
Move Away
"People who sit directly next to me at the airport, movie theater, any other place where you can choose a seat when there is PLENTY of other seating."
BacardiPardy33
"I can’t YES this enough and the ones who can’t park for crap so they park so close you can’t open doors on one side of the car or the ones who park directly behind when you pulled through so the door won’t open to load groceries."
BacardiPardy33
It's Over
"People who try to restart old drama. Like I'm done with you, just leave me alone."
Tired_Potatos
"Yep, half the reason I've basically quit playing one of my favorite online video games. People keep bringing old crap up or sh*tting on on someone who used to be our friend. I got tired of it so I just ejected the game out of me."
CaucasianHumus
AHHHHH!!!

Life in general pisses me off. I'm easy.
