Biannually I dedicate blog posts to the presentation of gifts that may be suitable for anthropologists or individuals interested in anthropology (any and all subfields). As we are nearing the end of the traditional semester and quickly approaching graduation season it seems appropriate to dedicate a post to this very topic. Below are some of the latest additions to the list of gift ideas that may be appropriate for your anthropologically interested person.
Archaeology
In the northern hemisphere the archaeological field seasons are beginning (if not in full swing). As archaeologists spend quite a bit of time outdoors they need to have appropriate gear to help them safely conduct their work. They also have been clothed as per social norms. Therefore this archaeological inspired t-shirt may be a great gift, particularly for any archaeologically minded individual who is annoyed about pseudoarchaeological ideas and concepts. This "Archaeologists Against Ancient Aliens" shirt is available for sale through Teewingo's Etsy shop.
Cultural Anthropology
Cultural anthropologists spend a lot of time observing human behavior in order to understand aspects of the people and cultures they are studying. This requires the creation of field notes,which are recorded through various ways. If the individual you are seeking a gift for is old school in that they write their notes down then this customizable journal may be the perfect fit. It is offered through SwellsFabDesigns Etsy shop.
Biological Anthropology
Biological anthropologists come in all sorts of shapes and sizes (a reference to the diversity of areas of study within this subfield). It has been a minute since we paid homage to the forensic anthropological aspects of this subfield, and as these individuals often have to carry a lot of gear with them why not get them a handy dandy forensic themed tote? You can lend a helping hand with this one from CarusoCustomC that is available on Etsy.
Linguistic Anthropology
Finding the right gift for the linguistic anthropologist that you know may seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be if you follow the K(eep).I(t).S(imple).S(illy) philosophy. With this in mind this enamel pin might be it. You may not understand it, but the linguistic anthropologist will understand not to stress out as much as you did over said gift. ;) It is available through RadGirlCreations Etsy shop.
