Brain-Themed Gifts for the Neurophiles on Your List!
If you’re like me, you have a neuroscientist in your family who’s hard to shop for. So perhaps, when you get desperate, you find yourself wondering (as I did this morning) if there are any brain-themed holiday gifts out there.
It turns out there are. A lot.
Zazzle.com has over 800 (!) neuron/brain/neurotransmitter-themed items, including but in no way limited to:
- Keds shoes decorated with synapses and other brain-themed patterns
- Many choices in mugs, often with sayings like “If I’m not paying attention, blame my neurotransmitters!”
- Psychedelic brain and neuron skate decks (for the brainy skateboarder you know)
At CafePress, you can find everything from holiday-themed “braindeer” cards, to dopamine (pleasure!) boxer shorts, to t-shirts saying “I love my neuropsychologist” for yourself, your friend, or even your dog. Just search under “cognitive neuroscience” or “brain” or something similar on the site.
And you can order a cartoon about the brain as a print, t-shirt, tote bag, and more at the Cartoon Stock site. My personal favorite has a doctor looking at a man’s brain scan, saying, “Your car keys are under the sofa and you like to wear women’s shoes.”
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I barely scratched the surface of what’s out there. I mean, I didn’t even mention this clever brain swim cap, these handmade human brain candles, this adorable stuffed doll brain cell (for the very young brain enthusiast, I guess), or all this gorgeous brain-chemical molecule-themed jewelry. And there’s so much more!
So if you’re in the market for a brain-themed item, you’re in luck. There’s more out there than I ever imagined.
