Gift ideas for nerds who are paying to shop for, extra nerdy edition. If you're in my family, stop watching. This arc lighter uses thousands of volts, and it's way cooler to use than a match. Which it can light. Perfect for lighting the grill, campfire, or your conga candle. Next, why use a pint glass when you can use a laboratory beaker? I love serving cocktails on my full picture-sized one. For this version. This wine holder will make your dinner guests scratch their heads. Magic! This gyroscope is fun to play with, but also just a really cool tool for teaching kids physics lessons. Of course, I mess it up all the time. This 3D mirror scope creates a hologram of any sort of small item placed inside of it. It's a bit hard to show on camera, but it looks super cool in person. This old-school Galileo thermometer tells you the temperature of the air based on shifting density of water. These globes will sink or float based on how cold it is in the room. These cubes will teach you more about color theory than anything since that magic school bus episode. Alright, and I saved the coolest for last, which deserves its own video, and I probably will do that. This is a periodic table, a periodic table with the actual elements inside of it in all sorts of different forms. That's real gold and real platinum. And watch this. See that guy glowing there? That's real uranium. Thankfully properly shielded. This one's expensive, but if you're looking for an expensive gift for someone really nerdy, it is amazing. This guy and the lab glassware were sent to me by the small brands that make them, but honestly, they're super cool and you should go and support them. I have a discount code somewhere I think.

Additional notes
I meant to get this out last week, but there’s still time to get most of them before gift-giving-time! I’ve been using the laboratory beakers as awesome drink ware for the last year, and guests are consistently delighted by them. Not really surprised though, knowing me 😉 All links are on my main link page! #gifts #giftsforhim #giftsforher #giftsfornerds #science
