Hey there, folks! Welcome to another year of our Dungeons & Dragons Gift Guide!

But wait, it is not just any other year; this is D&D’s 50th Anniversary year! Half a century of what is arguably the greatest tabletop game ever. Holy moly, can you believe it has been that long? I mean, wow, just wow. It is difficult to admit, but I have been playing this game for four decades now and I am still just as excited about it now as I was then. As Wizards of the Coast grows the game, so does the demographic of who plays it and I love the fact that what used to make me seem so nerdy is now something that the public finds to be mainstream. And not only does this allow more people to access it, but it creates a demand for products we had no idea we wanted.

In this gift guide, you will see not just game books and reference materials, but also toys, figurines, and even recipe cards. The parenting book alone is a great gift year-round for folks with a new baby on the way. And let’s be honest, there was so much great stuff released this year that you will have no problem finding the perfect gift for that D&D player in your life during this gift-giving season. So with that, Happy Holidays from me and the rest of the Geeks of Doom crew!

Here’s the 2024 Holiday Gift Guide: Dungeons & Dragons Edition…

Greetings, Doomers! It’s that time of year again — time to start your holiday shopping!

My favorite gifts to give and receive are BOOKS, which is why my Holiday Gift Guides are always book-centric. Over the years, I’ve found that it’s great to bundle book gifts with related items, such as bookmarks, games, collectibles, and accessories. That’s why our holiday gift for books is now expanded to include other items that are also commonly found in bookstores, such as puzzles, games, tarot cards, coloring books, collectibles, and more. Therefore, for many of the listings, I also included links to related/similar items, some of which might be products released prior to 2024. These might be DVD/Blu-rays, action figures, housewares, and more.

So check out our expanded Holiday Gift Guide 2024: Books Edition for our favorite holiday gift picks for the readers in your life.

Jim Morrison once waxed on wax about how “the future is uncertain and the end is always near.” Well if that’s the true-be-all-end-all-whatsit statement folks, then it’s a good thing that music is always near to help with the confusion. No matter what the mood or attitude of the homosapien: mad, glad, depressed, morose, lively, ebullient, ragtag, etc., music is always a welcome addition regardless of what’s going on or what’s going down. This year’s crop of sonic comestibles should take care of anyone feeling hi-fi or lo-hi; either way, all of them are welcome additions under the tree or near the menorah or whatever your late year holiday preference may be. Human beings have so many choices to choose from these days, and here’s some more below.

Another holiday season is almost upon, which means another great reason to buy and gift all things books! And there are some truly beautiful offerings from the publishing world this year, such some new illustrated editions of J.R.R. Tolkien works and Game Of Thrones/House Of The Dragon tomes, as well as Star Wars box sets; tie-ins for Star Trek, Stranger Things, and the Marvel and DC universes; graphic novel collections; hard rock and heavy metal memoirs; book-related gifts; fun, pop-culture-themed cookbooks, and much more!

Sorry for the last minute post here, folks. I know I am not giving you a lot of time prior to the holidays to grab any of these treasures, but I only have the excuse of…well, nothing. I have been forgetful of late. Therefore, please accept my apologies and I hope you find something in this list for the D&D player(s) in your life.
