So do you have someone on your Christmas shopping list that simply must know what temperature it is, no matter where they are or what time it is?  Here are some great places to look for gifts for them:

Weather Geek Stuff – Looking for something with a bit of humor to it?  Weather Geek Stuff is a great place for shirts, cups and novelties with a variety of “weather geek” logos.  They have items with their “Weather Geek” and “Weather Diva” logos and some very amusing weather warning sign logo merchandise that are sure to be a hit.

Galileo Shop – The Galileo thermometer – or thermoscope – was invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s.  These glass tubes filled with water use floating spheres to tell the temperature based on Galileo’s specific density principle.  They are beautiful to look at in addition to be a fascinating experiment.  Galileo Shop has tons of different types and styles to choose from.
