‘They will remember you 2016’: A holiday science and tech gift guide
[Science Solitaire] May you give and receive interesting gifts this season

About these 12 suggested gifts below: I am not saying those who receive the gifts below will think of you with gratitude. But they will certainly look at your gift card again to check if indeed it was you who sent the gift. It this is the effect you want, I say, take a chance! People have short memories anyway.   

  1. Fart-filtering boxer shorts. Not all kinds of air should be shared and to ensure that, check out this special underwear that fixes your private air before you share it with the world.  

  1. We have Chemistry Terrarium or the Ecosphere. These are sold separately but I figured that if your romance outside the depicted in figures in the bottled landscape (“We have chemistry”) does not work, then you can always just give each other separate bottled waterscapes (ecospheres) and just stick to taking care of shrimp and algae.

  1. Alien sculpture. This is a tabletop sculpture of 3 aliens (I could not verify if they were related) and their spaceship. You could give it to your friend whom you have always suspected belonged somewhere else (in the universe) so that he or she would not abandon the idea of returning to his or her original home.

  1. Smartphone endoscope tube. This is for your friends or relatives who have spy personalities. If you or anyone you know would enjoy seeing what actually happens in the otherwise unlit tunnels of your drain pipes or excavated holes or some areas you cannot reach, get this for them. However, unless you are a doctor, you cannot use this to explore your digestive tract.

  1. The ultimate computer station. If you have the means, and you want to blow your entire existence sitting and computing all the days and nights of your life, this “emperor” is the ultimate cradle for it! If the seat also doubled as a toilet, you would never have to ever leave it.

  1. Controller Bra. This is for the woman who is running out of options in getting the attention of his or her computer-crazed partner.

  1. Type n Walk. This is an app but I am not recommending it so that you can finally safely text while walking. It is for those who need proof that there is yet no safe solution to walking and texting at the same time. 

  1. Look of Disapproval glasses. If like me, you are just rendered speechless by the local and global events that make it seem like we are heading back to the Dark Ages, this could help you make that show of protest constant.

  1. USB typewriter. If you want the look of the past but want the ease of the present, get this typewriter console that has been “genetically modified” to be a docking station for your tablet and provide you with a soft touch keyboard.

  1. Message in a bottle. Those handwritten notes rolled inside bottles are so romantic but what if you want your text to be in your own invented font and you also want to add a video clip, an audio recording, some graphic design. This re-invents the presentation of the message but still sticks it into the bottle. “The sea” not included.

  1. “Not Pad”. This is a pad paper except that it is designed with a frame to look like a tablet. Its promotion says “you can even write in portrait or in landscape, like a tablet!”. 

  1. “I will not be your father” condoms. Darth Vader obviously forgot to use this.

May you give and receive interesting gifts this season. – Rappler.com
