Gift Giving Guide 21: Ideas for Presents for Your Favorite Anthropologist(s)

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.

 

Gifts for the Cultural Anthropologist

Cultural anthropologists study various aspects of living cultural groups, making the possibilities for gifts endless.  As cultural anthropology is also the foundation of all of the remaining anthropological subfields this gift may be just right.  It is a customizable anthropology poster, and you can change up the color scheme and the name.  The gift receiver need not be a Ph.D. holder, so the Dr. Name need not apply.  It is available through Twenty3Stars. 

For the Linguistic Anthropologist

Linguistic anthropologists are all about language and culture, and there are various places that they may go to complete their fieldwork.  Many linguistic anthropologists, however, do a lot of work behind a computer screen, be it recording, transcribing, conducting background research, or even communicating with informants.  This sticker that shows a love for linguistic anthropology, particularly for introverts, may be the perfect piece for the linguistic anthropologist you know.  You can acquire this from SpaceDogLaika.

For the Biological Anthropologist

The broadest of the four subfields is biological anthropology, which means that finding the appropriate gift for the biological anthropologist you know may be difficult.  If, however, the biological anthropologist you know is in any way tied to genetics this pencil holder shaped like a double helix (the form of DNA) could do just the trick!  This special gift is available through 3DAmerica.

For the Archaeologist

Archaeologists can be found in the summer months working out in the field, surveying and excavating archaeological sites.  They do, however, deserve something special to showcase their talents.  While this option may not help them work it is a reminder of their greatness that they can view while working in the lab or filing out necessary paperwork.  Purchase this customizable name plate through BuzzyCraft.
