They love everything from movies to books to television shows that have a sci-fi theme. With all the sci-fi gifts out there, which one do you choose? What makes a great gift for a sci-fi fan? Should you buy them pointy ears like Spock? Nah, they probably already have a pair. Seriously, there are great gifts for sci-fi fans all of which can easily be found. Here are just a few gift ideas for sci-fi fans.
DVDs: When you think of sci-fi, what is the first thing that comes to mind? It’s probably either Stars Wars or Star Trek. Either one of these DVD sets would make a wonderful gift. There are also several more DVDs that would make great gifts for sci-fi fans; Independence Day, Aliens, I Robot, and 2001, just to name a few.
Books: There are several great books out there for sci-fi fans. There are even book clubs devoted to this genre. A few classics that would make great gifts for sci-fi fans include War of the Worlds, 1984, and Dune. If you are unsure which books they may already have, buy them a gift card to Amazon.
Comics: This category can be a little overwhelming. There are so many great comics that sci-fi fans would love. I would have to say that Superman comics are the best. After all, he is from the planet Krypton. This is a great gift and depending on the comic, it could make a great investment in their future.
Posters: There are several great posters out there that would make a great gift for sci-fi fans. Even posters as simple as pictures of outer space make a great gift. There are of course posters that can be found from all of the great sci-fi films. You can find several great posters at All Posters.com.
Memorabilia: This is actually a really fun category. There are some really neat gifts out there. You can buy action figures, replicas of spaceships, board games, autographs, life size cutouts of popular sci-fi stars, etc. Sci-fi fans would love memorabilia from their favorite films. For example, a Star Wars fan would love the Star Wars edition of Trivial Pursuit. Another great example, a fan of Star Trek would love to receive Patrick Stewart’s autograph as a gift. To find other great gift ideas, enter the sci-fi fans favorite movie on eBay and there will come up an option to search for memorabilia.
T-Shirts: There are lots of great shirts out there for sci-fi fans. Again, you can find t-shirts with all of the sci-fi fans favorite movies and stars on them. There are also shirts that have characters on them. For example, a Star Wars fan may love a shirt with Yoda or Darth Vader on it.
Models: There are several models that can be found for sci-fi fans, all of which would make great gifts. From what I’ve seen, most of these models are scaled down versions of spaceships found in sci-fi movies, such as The Enterprise. When choosing this gift there are several things to keep in mind; choose models that fit the skill level of the sci-fi fan and remember to buy materials such as glue and paint.
I hope these gift ideas help you to find the perfect gift for the sci-fi fan in your life. Remember, they aren’t all weirdoes. If you still aren’t sure what would make a great gift, give the sci-fi fan a gift card to a place where they can find sci-fi books, movies, or memorabilia.
