Looking for a personalised scientist gift with real chemistry? Each researcher figure is 3D printed to order and fixed to a wooden base; adding a name or title is optional.
A personalised scientist gift for every breakthrough
From the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, a tradition since 1825, to Science Week in Ireland each November, science deserves a celebration. Christmas gifts for scientists tend to be novelty mugs; this one has earned a spot on the lab bench. Among birthday gifts for scientists, few look this good beside a microscope. Shopping for Mother’s or Father’s Day? It beats most gifts for biologists hands down. And as a thank-you to a PhD supervisor, it outshines the usual lab technician gifts.

- Event: ‘PhD Graduation’, ‘Retirement’

Materials and care
The figure is 3D printed in PLA, a plant-based bioplastic (typically made from corn starch), and mounted on a wooden base. For more information about PLA, click here. Dust with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from radiators and direct sunlight, as PLA is heat-sensitive.
Production and delivery
Each sculpture is made to order in 2 working days, then delivered within 2–6 working days. For Christmas, order early!
