Nerds are so annoying! (To buy gifts for! We love and/or are nerds.) They tend to be practical to the point of persnicketiness, and picky to boot. Want to get them a sweet new bag for their commute? Nope, they already spent months researching the perfect one and bought it for themselves. Additions to their sci-fi canon? Uh, have you seen that bookshelf? What're you gonna do, buy them a second "I ♥️ LIDAR" bumper sticker for their cello? They're covered.
Well, as always, we're here to help. Here are some great ideas (WIRED science nerd-vetted) for your favorite uber-geek. We have something for the cook (the best science-inspired cookbook ever, plus a dinosaur-embossed rolling pin), the student (cheapo dorm room wall decorations), and the nerd-in-training (LEGOs!). Happy last-minute-shopping.
