I’m looking for a dull man’s gift guide for Christmas. Any suggestions? What dull gifts are on y’all’s wish list this year?

    I like running across things where my reaction is either “oh wow that’s a thing, that’s interesting!” or “oh wow you can own one of those?!”

    I’ve given some necklaces made out of 6,500 year old Irish bog oak. I gave some trinitite (the glassy residue from the Trinity nuclear bomb test) to a rock-hound friend. I’ve given small pieces of meteorites, some originating from outer space, some from the Moon, some from Mars. I’ve given fossils - a few from the Cambrian or Ordivician periods (about half a billion years ago), the rest more recent. Just weird things I run across and I’m like, “oh that’s kinda cool!”
