The holiday season is quickly approaching, and we have 12 different gift ideas for the Trekkies in your life. Whether they’re a Kelvin timeline Kirk fan or they’ve been rooting for the Klingons since the day they entered the fandom, there’s a gift for everyone.
It’s stressful being a Trekkie in the now unstable Star Trek fandom. We don’t know what’s going to happen with the future of Star Trek 4. Most of us just want Chris Pine back, and we’re still not sure if Megan Fox will appear in the upcoming film. The only thing that’s giving the Trekkie in your life hopeful is the new trailer for Star Trek: Discover season two—which is why it’s especially important to find an exceptional Star Trek holiday gift for the yellow shirts in your inner circle.
You likely don’t have enough money to personally hire Chris Pine to reprise his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek 4, but we do have some ideas for more cost-affordable giftable alternatives. Even if you’ve never watched an episode or read a comic book issue of Star Trek in your life, we researched some gifts that those Star Trek fans in your life will love.
