Star Trek
Meet Trek fans. We mean really Trek fans. The ones who know specifically which episode introduced the Prime Directive. The ones who have fully formed opinions on which captain they would actually like commanding their ship. The ones who will make you sit down and listen, earnestly, about why Deep Space Nine is the best show ever created. Shopping for them is easy, if you know every insignificant piece of Trek trivia. Otherwise it can seem very difficult. Like trying to shop in a foreign language if Trek isn't your thing.
Because of that we built this gift guide around them. The fact is most Trek merchandise is downright bad. Lazy use of the logo, Next-Day-Services grade material and generally not something you want to gift to anybody. We wanted better. Stuff that a geekiest of geeks would actually love to get. Stuff made with some thought and care rather than ‘stick on a theme bad and call it finished.’
That’s why we’ve curated each product on this page. With one kind of buyer in mind. Not the person who eyeballs a few episodes and calls themselves a fan. But the people who Trekkers actually are. People who spent their formative years on the watch-words of characteristics. People who raised their own children on Trekkie wisdom. Who care about this franchise because it just means something. Means something about who we are and who we strive to be. About that hope for what we can become. The idea that maybe, just maybe the future is worth working towards.
Trek’s been about something for 50 years. Gifts for the people who fall asleep to episodes about Warp Engines should be too.
