Gifts for Siblings Who Keep Declaring “Resistance Is Futile” Over the Remote Control

If you’ve ever battled your sibling for control of the TV remote while quoting the Borg, this gift guide is for you. As someone who loves watching Star Trek—both the TV episodes and the epic films—I can confirm there’s nothing better than pairing a hot coffee with a good laugh. I even designed and bought several of these mugs myself, because they combine humour, caffeine, and Starfleet references in a way that makes my day. Each of these mugs is bound to bring a smile to the face of Trekkies everywhere.

Temporal Anomaly Coffee Fix Mug

When your morning feels like a time paradox, this witty mug helps reset your timeline with a strong brew. A playful nod to Star Trek’s temporal shenanigans, it’s perfect for fans who need caffeine before reality feels stable again.

Why we like it: It turns a simple coffee break into a light-hearted sci-fi moment.

Assimilation by Coffee Mug

Resistance really is futile when coffee is on the table. This Borg-inspired mug captures that inevitability with a funny twist, making it ideal for fans who like their caffeine served with sci-fi menace.

Why we like it: It’s the perfect crossover of geeky humour and the universal love of coffee.

Priorities: Star Trek Mug

Education is important, but Star Trek is importanter. This cheeky mug is just right for Trekkies, students, or teachers who know that warp theory trumps textbooks any day.

Why we like it: It gives a proper laugh while reminding us where our true priorities lie.

Coffee Power Source Mug

Running on empty? This mug sums it up perfectly: low power reserves demand an urgent coffee refill. Inspired by Star Trek’s techno-babble, it’s a brilliant way to make your morning ritual feel mission-critical.

Why we like it: Every Trekkie knows caffeine is the real power source.

Ohm’s Law Resistance Mug

Who says science can’t be funny? This mug puts a clever twist on “resistance is futile” by linking it with Ohm’s Law. It’s a brilliant crossover gift for Star Trek fans, engineers, and anyone who appreciates a nerdy joke with their brew.

Why we like it: It’s the perfect blend of science, sci-fi, and humour.

Closing Thoughts

Whether it’s the Borg demanding assimilation or a coffee calling your name, these mugs make everyday moments just that little bit more entertaining. Any of these would make a thoughtful (and hilarious) gift for the Trekkie in your life—or even for yourself. After all, resistance to coffee really is futile.

Where fandom meets fun — gifts that go boldly beyond the ordinary. Visit the Etsy shop for all mugs.

Got a new section in our Etsy shop – called Inspirational Mug. Although it’s really inspirational and motivational. So I’ve just added this first mug to this new section of coffee mugs. Hope you like it:

[su_note note_color=”#FAE588″]

[/su_note]

Yep, it’s an inspirational mug present for you or your loved one. I quite like this statement and it simplifies aspirations into a neat phrase. Are you up for it…?

Inspirational Mug Gift

There is going to be a range of other inspiration mugs of course (at the time of writing), so look out for lots more to gradually appear as I design them. It’s a new and somewhat diverse category compared to Star Trek mugs, but as always, I am trying to cater to different tastes to see what people like. Hope you like it.

This particular motivational mug (shown on the left here), is also another first – it features a background photograph, in this case, a sky and clouds. It relates to the ‘reaching for the sky’ theme, so I hope you approve.

Just added this potential ‘Designer Coffee Mug’ to our line-up of funny quote coffee mugs:

[su_note note_color=”#FAE588″]

[/su_note]

Now you may be wondering why I’ve put single quotemarks around ‘Designer Coffee Mug’ above. And it’s not because that’s how I would describe or announce my coffee mugs (or tea mugs for that matter). No, it’s because I just got off the phone to an Etsy specialist who suggested I use that phrase in my listings!

Is This a Designer Coffee Mug?

Would you describe the mug pictured on the left here a designer coffee mug? No really, it’s a genuine question. I’m curious as to whether you would accept that description as a present for you or your ‘loved one’. Yea, I deliberately used ‘loved one’ there in quotes LOL.

I will say the mug is a quality product. Not just saying that – I got two of these mugs myself as I like them so much, They have a nice weight and the two-toned look is something a bit different to all those white ones out there. But ‘designer’ coffee mug’? Is that something you wouldn’t argue with? Let me know.

There are of course other similar funny mugs (at the time of writing) that use different wording and different fonts. Once again I am trying to cater for different tastes to see what people like. Hope you like it.

Just added these four to our funny mugs for him or her collection, since we were a bit thin on the ground in this section:

[su_note note_color=”#FAE588″]

[/su_note]
Yep, it’s a possible funny mug present for you or your loved one. I’ve added four mugs in one go this time for the funny sayings section. Nothing too extreme here – I’m not a fan of the expletives that seem to be increasing in the mug scene at the moment.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem using the odd expletive myself now and again, but I don’t believe in shoving it front of everyone unless they ask for it. I’m guessing it may be offensive for some people. What about you…?

Funny Mugs for Him or Her as Gifts

There are a few other mugs in my funny mugs section (at the time of writing). You may want to check those out too. Hope you like them.

I’ve got another gift for you or your loved one. Ever had one of those days when you need to reconfigure your random sub-space fluctuations? You’ve had one of those days, right? Here’s where one hot mug of coffee will sort that out. Works wonders for me – wanna try it yourself?

I’ve added a new Star Trek coffee mug to our range, that’s slightly different to all the mugs I’ve released recently:

[su_note note_color=”#FAE588″]

[/su_note]

Once again, I have taken a slightly different tack with this mug. I’m sure many of you, when researching mugs, have seen the Star Trek mug with the quote “There’s coffee in that there nebula”. It’s a bit weak as as a standalone phrase and I can’t understand why so many mug providers have used it (apart from jumping onto whatever bandwagon they thought they were jumping on, LOL). So putting those things together, I decided to add a bit more reality to it as well as maybe mocking the copycats.

So I’ve said, ‘Well I don’t care about the coffee in the nebula, what I care about is having it in my mug’. Wotya reckon?

A New Star Trek Coffee Mug For You

If you prefer to keep everyone at bay while you are enjoying your mug of coffee, then you may enjoy the ‘set phasers to stun..‘ message that I have on another mug LOL. I trust you like at least some of my designs. It’s all about smiling whilst also enjoying the coffee after all.

I have taken a slightly different tack with this Trekkie mug. The message here is let’s sit down with a cup of coffee and we’ll talk…

It’s more of a collaborative time mug rather than the mug I describe below.

Presenting Trekkie gifts – another coffee mug that’s been added to the line of Star Trek coffee mugs:

[su_note note_color=”#FAE588″]

[/su_note]

I love this Star Trek coffee mug. Here I am about to enjoy one of my highly desired coffee moments in peace. So you want to disturb me? No chance, my phasers are set to stun, so if you go anywhere near me…

LOL. Don’t you wish you had a phaser gun with stun capability for those quiet coffee-drinking moments? You need this mug to warn off any offenders. Available in 12 colours, including ‘warning, red alert red’ LOL.

Trekkie Gifts For You

If you prefer to describe your state of mind differently, you could always declare you are in a ‘State of Temporal Flux’. That seems to work for a few customers. It’s used on this Star Trek mug quote here. Once again I am trying to cater for different tastes to see what people like. Hope you like it.

I’m repeating myself here when I say that this was another coffee mug that I enjoyed creating. Not only did I use a typical Star Trek quote, “Power Source Fluctuation Detected…” but I also managed to slip in the word ‘engage’, which of course you will recognise (assuming you are a Trekkie fan reading this of course, if you’re not, then trust me, that word is often used, LOL).

I recognise the need to smooth out my power source fluctuations during the day, with coffee! How about you? If that’s a ‘yes’, then this mug may be perfect for you. Available in a range of colours, you’ll find one to suit you. Click the blue button below.

Coffee Mug Star Trek Gift

Talking of power sources, you guys will of course be familiar with the warp core – another source of power. If power/energy-related mugs are your thing then look at the Star Trek Warp Core Breach quote here. Hope you like either of them.
