Best Gifts Under $25

Kurzgesagt Logo Tee - $24

This tee is the definition of a crowd-pleaser. Made from 180gsm combed ring-spun cotton, it feels soft against the skin and holds up wash after wash. The front features the minimalist Kurzgesagt duck logo in a subtle tonal print. It is perfect for the fan who wants to represent their favorite science channel without shouting. I recommend sizing up if the recipient prefers a relaxed fit. Available in black or white.

Duck Enamel Pin - $12

Tiny but mighty. This hard enamel pin measures 1.25 inches across and features the classic Kurzgesagt duck in bright yellow on a blue background. It comes with a rubber clutch backing and is perfect for jackets, backpacks, or lanyards. A great add-on to any gift or a stocking stuffer for the pin collector.

Kurzgesagt Sticker Pack - $8

Five premium die-cut stickers featuring space, biology, and duck designs. Each sticker is laminated for water resistance and measures 2-3 inches. These are ideal for laptops, water bottles, or notebooks. At under $10, you can buy two packs to cover all the surfaces.

Gifts $25 - $50

Immunity Mug - $34

This 11oz ceramic mug has a glossy finish and a comfortable C-handle. The design shows the immune system fighting pathogens in Kurzgesagt's signature illustration style. It is microwave and dishwasher safe. I have one on my desk and the print has not faded after months of daily use. Perfect for the coffee or tea drinker who loves science.

Solar System Poster Set - $38

A set of eight A2 (16.5 x 23.4 inches) posters, each featuring a different planet with accurate scale and data labels. Printed on 200gsm matte paper with a slight texture that reduces glare. The set comes rolled in a sturdy tube for gift-ready presentation. Ideal for a teenager's bedroom or a home office. Frame them for a polished look.

Kurzgesagt Space Explorer Backpack - $45

A 20-liter backpack made from 300D ripstop nylon. It has a padded laptop sleeve (fits up to 15.6"), two mesh water bottle pockets, and a front zip compartment. The design is a subtle space scene on dark blue. The straps are padded and breathable. Great for students or commuters who want to carry science pride.

Premium Gifts $50 - $100

Biology Hoodie - $69

This is my top pick for the premium tier. The hoodie is 350gsm fleece with a brushed interior - thick enough for cold weather but not bulky. The front features an intricate cell illustration in a single-color print. It has a kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs, and an adjustable hood. Comes in charcoal or navy. The fabric composition (80% cotton, 20% polyester) means minimal pilling. A true investment piece for loungewear lovers.

Earth from Space Canvas Print - $89

A stretched canvas print (16x24 inches) of our planet as seen from orbit, rendered in Kurzgesagt's clean style. The canvas is gallery-wrapped with mirrored edges, so no frame needed. Includes a hanging kit. The colors are vibrant and fade-resistant. This piece anchors a living room or study wall. I have had mine for two years and it still looks fresh.

Luxury Gifts Over $100

I Need More Space Duvet Cover Set - $129

A 100% cotton woven duvet cover (twin or queen sizes) printed with an all-over space scene - planets, stars, and the Kurzgesagt duck floating among them. The set includes one duvet cover and two pillow shams. The fabric is 200 thread count percale, crisp and breathable. It is machine washable (cold, tumble dry low). Perfect for the fan who wants to sleep under the cosmos. The queen size works for most beds.

Kurzgesagt Duck 3D Puzzle - $149

A 500-piece wooden 3D puzzle that assembles into a 10-inch tall Kurzgesagt duck. Laser-cut birch plywood pieces interlock without glue. The instructions are clear and the build takes about 3-4 hours. A satisfying project for a rainy day. Once built, it makes a striking desk ornament. Limited edition - only 500 produced in 2026.

Gift Buying Tips

Sizing: Apparel fits true to size on the label. For the hoodies, if the recipient is between sizes, go up one size - the fleece is warm and you want room for layering. Tees have a standard fit; oversized seekers should also size up.

Shipping: Standard delivery to the US takes 5-10 business days. International shipping reaches select countries in 10-20 business days. Order by December 10 for holiday arrival (if holiday timing matters).

Presentation: Posters come rolled in tubes. The duvet set and canvas print are ready to gift as-is. For mugs and pins, add a Kurzgesagt card (free with any order) for a personal touch.

FAQ

What is Kurzgesagt merch made of?

Most apparel uses 100% combed ring-spun cotton or cotton-polyester blends. Look for product descriptions that specify thread count or gsm - items over 200gb for fleece and 180gsm for tees indicate good quality.

Are the designs printed with durable inks?

Yes. All prints are direct-to-garment (DTG) using water-based inks that bond with the fabric fibers. They resist cracking and fading longer than standard screen prints.

How do I care for my Kurzgesagt apparel?

Wash inside out in cold water. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and ironing directly over the print. This preserves color and print integrity.

Can I return or exchange a gift?

Visit our Contact page for assistance with returns or exchanges. We aim to make the process straightforward.

Are there gift options for young children?

The apparel fits adult sizes (S-3XL). Stickers and pins are safe for ages 3+ with supervision. The enamel pin has small parts - not for children under 3.
