It's the holiday season again and you're stuck on what to get that special physicist in your life.
Don't worry: We can help.
Check out this selection of Web sites that cater to gift-loving scientists.
- Tiffany Ard offers a variety of science-related material with a few products aimed specifically at physicists.
My favorite: Pat Schrödinger's kitty story book featuring cartoon versions of Paul Dirac and Enrico Fermi. What baby wouldn't love this?
Another winner from this site is the Nerdy Baby ABCs. Give your child a jump-start in that career studying neutrinos or accelerator beam diagnostics.

Searching to add a little style to a friend's cubicle or home? Try the particle physics-themed cartoons that can be printed on coffee mugs, hats, etc.
My personal favorite:
