Here are some alternatives to finding the best gifts for nuclear engineers:
Faux Window
Nuclear engineers often end up working in window-less laboratories, or a window-less office. Create a beautiful view with a faux window. Choose from city capes to beach views and sunsets, majestic mountains or customize your own photograph. A great conversation starter, they also make the room look bigger than it is. Fathead create faux windows that are big: 4’3″ wide x 2’10” high and have hundreds of licensed sports and entertainment images if you don’t want to customize your own.
