Looking for Unique Gift Idea for MicroBiology Graduate

Parent Cafe

<p>My niece is graduating in May with her undergrad degree in Microbiology and minor in Chem. She is off to a PhD program in Microbiology. In addition to some cash, I am looking for a unique gift idea that would fit with her new career. Any ideas on gift ideas with a microbiology bent? Thanks!</p>

<p>My nerdly siblings and I have ordered off of this site: [url=<a href=“http://www.thinkgeek.com/index.shtml]ThinkGeek”>http://www.thinkgeek.com/index.shtml]ThinkGeek</a> :: Stuff for Smart Masses<a href=“I%20didn’t%20get%20any%20hits%20searching%20for%20%22microbiology%22%20but%20plenty%20for%20%22chemistry%22.”>/url</a></p>

<p>I have not bought anything from this place so I can not give it a thumbs up or down, but I think their stuff is cool:</p>

<p>[Friendly</a> Bacteria : Superbug Gifts for Geeks & Science Tees](<a href=“http://www.cafepress.com/superbug/1979477]Friendly”>Friendly Bacteria : Superbug Gifts for Geeks & Science Tees)</p>

<p>Another cool site (this is where I think one of the sales reps we work with got some stuff for our biologists once):</p>

<p>I’ve bought the giant microbes, they were absolutely fantastic, and I had no problems with the company.</p>

<p>When I saw the title of this post I immediately thought “Giant Microbes.” :smiley: I gave my brother the Common Cold for his birthday.</p>

<p>You guys are great! These web sites are perfect. Thank you!</p>

<p>My opinion is use some portal like
[Gift</a> Ideas | Unique, Personalized Gift Ideas](<a href=“http://www.rollingidea.com%5DGift”>http://www.rollingidea.com) to search gift ideas</p>

<p>Don’t know what the cost would be but a nice cloth lab coat personalized with her name on it would be cool (as least to a nerdy microbiologist like me!).
You can find them on uniform sites like Taffords.</p>

<p>The catalog ‘Signals’ has a lot of geeky stuff…even wall-art that are giant silver molecules of serotonin or dopamine. Not too pricey, either.</p>

<p>The thread got bumed up by a spammer, but the timing is right! I have purchased stuff from here:</p>

<p>[url=&lt;a href=“http://www.iawareables.com/index.php]iAwareables.com[/url”&gt;http://www.iawareables.com/index.php]iAwareables.com[/url</a>]</p>

<p>Lots of cool microbiology related stuff. Good for MDs and nurses as well :)</p>
