3 of the best places to buy unique Star Trek gifts
Back in 2012, Leonard Nimoy and his daughter, Julie Nimoy, having outgrown their shop on Etsy which sold most apparel, opened their online store, Shop LLAP (and, of course, we all know what the LLAP stands for), and it’s been booming ever since.
While this store is mostly devoted to all things Spock and his Live Long and Prosper greeting, if you’re looking for Star Trek only merchandise, though, there aren’t that many items. Of course, I can’t imagine any fan turning down a “Fascinating Spock Sketch Printed Tote Bag” or a T-shirt with the beloved phrase “I am and always shall be your friend.”
There are a few things remaining from Leonard Nimoy’s personal collection if you’re looking for something truly unique, but since they are true treasures, I can’t imagine they’ll last very long, especially since many things have already sold out. Still, that’s a section worth checking out for the Spock fan in your life.
Everything you buy here will make you feel a little bit better as the store donates a percentage of its yearly profits to UCLA’s COPD research team as a tribute in memory of Leonard Nimoy who passed away from the illness in 2015.
