The best gifts for fantasy lovers

1. Fairyloot Crate subscription

A fantasy book subscription is a great gift for fantasy lovers. They can receive new books and goodies for months after. Making it a gift that’ll last for months after.

Fairyloot is a book subscription box service aimed at fantasy lovers. They send a monthly box with a beautiful special edition of a book along with goodies such as booksleeves, mugs and candles. 

But you can find several fantasy book subscriptions. I’ve also heard positive reviews of Illumicrate, owlcrate and Book Hookup.

2. Elven Valley Book nook

Miniature book nooks are awesome. These mini shelf inserts slot in between books and display a tiny world. You can get miniature book nooks for many different fandoms – from Lord of the Rings to Alice in Wonderland.

These are often custom-made and handcrafted, making them a quite expensive. Some you may also need to assemble yourself. But they look stunning on any shelves.

3. Lord of the Rings Beer glass

Fantasy journals make great gifts for fantasy lovers. You can get fantasy journals inspired by many different books. Or if you’re not sure what fantasy books they like then you can get dragon-inspired journals (such as this one from Etsy) that they’re sure to love.

5. Game of Thrones Catan

You can’t beat a good board game. And this Game of Thrones Catan game combines elements from the original Settlers of Catan game but with a Game of Thrones-inspired board. 

A board game is a great fantasy gift. You can get board games inspired by many fantasy fandoms such as  Lord of the Rings Monopoly or Twilight Scene it.

 The advantage of a board game is that you can play the board game together afterwards. You can buy  gifts but you can’t beat quality time with your loved ones.

6. Tolkien Society Membership

Subscriptions make excellent gifts for fantasy lovers. A present you receive regularly afterwards.

Searching for inspiration for Lord of the Rings fans? You should consider a Tolkein Society Membership.

This next idea is somewhat obvious. But if you need gifts for fantasy lovers, then you can’t go wrong with more books.
