Curious Minds has a wide range of scientific, mathematical and mind-bending toys.
As of writing their bestsellers seem to be glass prism, solar system toys, ant farms, electronics and chemistry kits, and a classic favourite, the gyroscope.
Based in the UK they will deliver worldwide but you may need to wait for them to quote you a total delivery charge.
The online Gift Shop at the Museum of Science in Boston has all the usual science books, games and toys. As always, I've had a dig around to see if there is anything unusual or interesting.
Their Unique Gifts section is very small but does include a set of salt and pepper shakers shaped like computer keyboard keys with letters S and P. There is also an Eco-conscious Gifts section, again rather small but the T-shirts look attractive. Indeed worth looking around as the cross-linkage of items across categories is very poor, so that those eco T-shirts do not appear in the apparel category, also the futuristic MoS coffee mug is in Souvenirs but not in Drinkware!
For being such a big museum, their online shop is disappointing. But T-shirts and drinking mugs do look nice, but as I said, have a look around as things are not always in the obvious place.
The Adler Planetarium is in Chicago, IL. Their Infinity Shop has clothing, binoculars, books, food, gifts, jewelry, posters, telescopes, toys and videos. Pretty much everything for the space buff!
Food? The Infinity shop sells food online. Not just ordinary food but ice-cream! OK, this is space age freeze-dried ice-cream plus space shuttle candy.
Their Gifts/Decor category has a beautiful Nocturlabio, made by Villalcor, and fun Solar System mugs.
Being a planetarium, the Adler shop also stocks Meade and Orion telescopes.
