Those who are looking for a gift that is both fun and mature for their 'Star Trek' enthusiast friend will love these steel ice cubes. Inspired by the Borg race, they cool whisky drinks, and other beverages for that matter, in a strangely sophisticated and geeky way. This is only strange because the two concepts do not often go hand in hand.
Designed by ThinkGeek, the steel ice cubes would make a great present for the holiday season for loved ones or even co-workers. Each steel ice cube is etched with the BOrg insignia. Instead of using real ice cubes, these steel versions help keep alcoholic beverages cool without watering them down. Thus, it is also made for whisky enthusiasts as well.
