The best Game of Thrones gift ideas for fans

Much as you might want to buy a real-life dragon egg for the Game of Thrones mega-fan in your life, it’s not the sort of thing you’re able to pick up if you’re not in Westeros or Essos.

Still, that shouldn’t stop you getting an alternative gift based on George RR Martin’s fantasy world.

Just in time for Christmas, we pick our favourite Game of Thrones gifts to satisfy any true fan.

A Song of Ice and Fire Audiobooks

Ideal for anyone with a long commute, the main alternative to reading George RR Martin’s books is to listen to the audiobooks.

They’re pricey but great value overall – for instance, A Dance With Dragons clocks in at a mammoth 49 hours.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Original Soundtrack on Vinyl

Stark Crest Mug

The brutality of Thrones is best enjoyed with a brew – whichever your favourite house to eventually win the Iron Throne, you can show your support with a crest mug.

Custom Lego Figurine Frame

We all know that Game of Thrones is a historical fiction dream, but why not add a little modernity into the mix?

Customise with your favourite characters to make it truly personal.

Antique Map

You’ll often hear the terms “the Seven Kingdoms” and “Westeros” bandied around in the show which, along with the enormous list of characters and locations, can become extremely confusing. A map of the Game of Thrones world is perfect for those trying to make head and tail of it all – expect a lot of “aha!” moments when you sit down to study it.
