Sci-fi gifts
It is now possible to shop online to find entire stores of books, racks of action figures, posters, cardboard stand-ups, magazines, mugs, graphic novels, comics, pens, pins and trading cards, as well as specific show gifts such as a remote-controlled Dalek, a TARDIS in a range of sizes, sonic screwdrivers, and much more, you can even gift a replica of Dr Who’s coat from Tom Baker or David Tennant. Thanks to the longevity and universal popularity of the Star Wars, Star Trek and James Bond franchise, there are more than enough gifts from props and clothing to decor and books for you to choose from.
Anniversary gifts
There are special dates in all our lives that we celebrate each year. They can be personal to us, or an anniversary of birth or wedding. The anniversary gifts by year list offers both traditional and modern ideas for presents which can be taken literally or symbolically. For example, the traditional fifth-anniversary gift is wood (the modern gift is silverware), which could be a movie poster framed in wood or chrome but could also be a paintball experience in a forest.
You can introduce Star Wars to the youngest generation with a birthday gift of a Star Wars Coding Kit that builds a sensor to detect hand movement, which introduces coding in a fun way.
Tickets to events
For James Bond fans, tickets to see the latest movie will be perfect. “No Time To Die” opens on Saturday, 2 April 2020 in Germany, perhaps make your gift a weekend away to really make this special. Alternatively, look out for exhibitions and conventions around the series they love. For example, there’s an exhibition in London showing off James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 stunt replica; his Aston Martin V8 and Land Rover Series III as well as Ash’s New Land Rover Defender 110; Primo’s Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE as seen in Matera, Italy and Nomi’s Royal Alloy GT125 scooter from Jamaica.
Donate to their comic-con charity
Sometimes there are occasions being celebrated where a request is sent out for no gifts. This is often stated on wedding invitations from couples who have been living together for years or from those individuals who have all that they need (unless of course, you can find a copy of a limited-edition comic from 1978 that they’re still searching for). In these cases, you can still mark the occasion with a donation that is close to their heart, such as a space education programme for schools, corporations, community groups and the public.
Jewellery
Jewellery is a timeless gift for every occasion, even when times have moved on in other worlds. Jodie Whittaker is the 13th incarnation of the Doctor, the first time the role has been played by someone other than a white male, drawing in more women to the genre and some stunning jewellery including a unique and officially licenced Doctor Who TARDIS and Time Vortex ladies’ earrings in gold. For the Starfleet officer in your life, the iconic Starfleet emblem studded with diamonds will be a gorgeous accessory. For both men and women, there are a vast array of Marvel comic characters on rings, dog tags, earrings and bracelets.
