Science Gift Guide
Unique science things from independent sources! A.k.a. I made a science gift guide when I should have been doing other things.
Sometimes you just need to drop all your usual responsibilities in favour of a random little project. That’s what I did last week, when I had a spur of the moment idea to create a science-themed gift guide.
I put out calls on email lists, social media and a few Discord servers and within days I had a list ready to go up. In the last few days, I got a few new submissions that will be added over the weekend, but you can see the first entries already (including signed copies of my book). This list is for small indie creators rather than big companies, so you can find some unique science gifts for the holidays, or just as a present to yourself for making it through this exhausting week.Â
