16 Christmas Gifts For The Science Nerd In Your Life

5. Giant Microbes

Who knew that diarrhea and MRSA could be so cute? These giant microbes, millions of times bigger than their real-world counterparts, are the perfect gift for the biologist in your life. Don't worry about cuddling up to the common cold, because you could always pair it with an adorable white blood cell plushie to keep it in check. Each plushie comes with a picture of its real-life inspiration, as well as some information about your chosen microbe. You could get a number of diseases, a brain cell, a fat cell and even sperm - all equally adorable. I never thought I'd say this, but E Coli is particularly adorable. Find your favourite deadly disease here.
