Stocking Stuffers for the Burgeoning Scientist

Whether you're 2 or 29, the lure of the science world can be strong (see: my copywriter/web designer husband, who geeks out over the Discovery Channel, and those issues of Astronomy magazine I subscribed to for his last birthday). And, whether 2 or 29, the burgeoning scientist in your life is bound to enjoy astronaut ice cream. Right? Right??

After the jump, some other stocking stuffer ideas for your beloved science nerd.

Stocking Stuffers for Word Nerds

[$7, Fred Flare]

I'm a word nerd, in love with the English language, equally happy to be sitting down with a good book or creating my own travesty of grammar and purple prose. If you have someone similar to shop for this holiday season, I may be able to help you out. I'm pretty sure my credit card debt is due more to book purchases than fine couture.

These bookworm bookmarks, for example, would make a super-cute stocking stuffer (I am a collector of bookmarks; and yes, I am a dork). After the jump, check out a bunch of other items your resident word nerd wouldn't mind receiving in their stocking.
