2020 Geekdad Holiday Gift Guide: Dungeons & Dragons Gifts

D&D Adventures Featured Gaming Gift Guide Tabletop Games

Selecting the perfect present is never easy, especially if you know someone has a specific hobby but you know very little about it yourself. In many households the world over, there are spouses, parents, progeny, and friends all scratching their heads, trying to come up with the perfect Dungeons & Dragons gifts.

So what do you buy a D&D fan?

Here are my top 10 Dungeons & Dragons gifts for this holiday season.

And if you can’t decide which Dungeons & Dragons gift to choose from, just grab a d10 (10-sided die) and roll…

01 Geeky Clean Bath Bombs 

Combining everyone’s favorite things: bathing and dice! Because nothing says “I love you” quite like a range of beautifully crafted, RPG-themed, vegan cosmetic products. These bath bombs come in a number of funky polyhedral designs and, once used, leave behind various dice ready-to-use in your next D&D game. My personal favorites are the Mighty Dice collection—inspired by Critical Role’s the Mighty Nien.

02 Wyrmwood Dice Vaults

Because you can absolutely never have enough dice, here’s another super cool way of gifting someone special something extra special. There’s something really classy and unique about the way they make dice vaults at Wyrmwood Gaming. Available in so many different woods and formats—you can have dice vaults, dice trays, and dice towers, and that’s just the tip of the diceberg.

My favorite is the Paduak dice vault—the colors of the wood really are this amazing. There is not a D&D fan alive who wouldn’t be thrilled to receive one of these this year.

03 Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

WotC’s latest release Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything has it all; new character options, spells, artefacts, and magical tattoos, as well as a whole host of DM tools to help upgrade your D&D campaign. This book even contains the highly anticipated rules for customizing character origins and changing racial traits.

04 Minifigures

There are so many to choose from. Anything from Reaper Bones, Icons of the Realms, or Nolzur’s Marvelous Unpainted Miniatures would make great Dungeons & Dragons gifts for dungeon masters. Just remember whatever monster you get for your DM, they’re likely to use against your beloved character, so why not make is an Innocent Fluffy Unicorn or a Loveable Displacer Beast.

Or for a more cost-effective and unpredictable result, you could always go full hog and get them a 98-piece set of assorted miniatures for only $24.95. This will surely provide more than enough wizards, pixies, knights, goblins, and two-headed demons to keep you busy in any D&D campaign.

06 The Rook and The Raven Campaign Diary

The Rook and The Raven deliver the perfect customizable gaming notebook and they make ideal Dungeons & Dragons gifts for someone you really, really, really love. Take a look at their website and you’ll see the phenomenal passion and attention to detail that goes into these handcrafted campaign diaries. Be warned: they’re not cheap, but they are amazing.

If you’re thinking of gifting one of these amazing books to someone this year, you’ll need to know exactly what they will want from such a book, as the level of customization could be a little overwhelming for the uninitiated. But the kudos you’ll get from them for giving such a thoughtful gift will be bankable well into the New Year.

07 Scroll of Rolling

I can hear my wife already: “More dice accessories!” Yes, but this time it’s an amazing leather spell scroll that transforms into an easily transportable dice rolling tray. Of course.

It makes a great Dungeons & Dragons gift; the leather pouch can hold two full 7-piece dice sets, and comes with a removable foam to help keep dice padded and cozy. When not in use, the scroll is rolled up and secured with two snaps, ready to await your next adventure!
