【Watch Ava Online】

Everyone's a Marvel fan these days,Watch Ava Online but we've all got that friend who loves it 3000. You know the one – the friend who's watched the movies andread the comics, who can identify a logo from a mile away and speaks in quotes you don't even pick up on half the time.

When gifting that friend, you have to go the extra mile; simply a branded tee from an official store won't cut it. Here's a list of subtle yet fantastically nerdy Marvel gifts for the big fans in your life.

This cross-stitched patch

Nick Fury may not have believed Goose was a Flerken, but you can't deny it when the evidence is embroidered! The pattern is meant for youto cross-stitch, but feel free to just print it out and admire it if you don't know how (or pick up a new hobby!). The tentacles (?) look a bit like giant green whiskers, but don't worry, you get better at identifying flerkens over time.

This cool tank

View this post on Instagram

Only the truest Thor: Ragnarokfans will appreciate this tank (though it's likely to attract some Game of Thronesfans who aren't over how Jon treated his pet in Season 8). Wear it to the gym in hopes of running into Chris Hemsworth while you both get swole and then bond as you laugh about the Devil's Anus.

This demented charm

Venommay not have been the movie you wanted or imagined, but we can't say we didn't have fun watching it. In much the same vein, this lanyard bead is bizarre, perhaps even misleading (what exactly is the point?), but it's hard not to look at that toothy grin and menacing tongue and crack a smile. Whatever it is, it sparks joy.

E.D.I.T.H.

Try not to cry when you don Iron Man's signature accessory (or when you think about Peter Parker inheriting it in Spider-Man: Far From Home) — focus instead on the feeling of utter, badass power, and try not to be too much of a dick about it.

These dignified bowties

We've tried to stay away from obvious logos on this list, but who can resist this spot of debonair nerd-dom to spice up a formal look?

This t-shirt print

Why rep a "real" alma mater when you can proudly rep Thor's? Sure, the God of Thunder was probably a shoe-in legacy, but that makes your being alumni of the same university even more impressive. (If anyone asks, you met during a Groot language elective).

This phone case

There's something so genius about Peter Quill's only Earthly '80s relic repackaged as a smart phone case (it's extra satisfying to listen to music on if you plug in some chunky headphones). The Samsung Galaxy case looks better than the iPhone (is this space bias?), but both get the job done.
