In time for that holiday scramble!

Everyone knows that buying gifts for the tabletop gamer in your life can be hard, especially if you are not in the hobby yourself! With December and the holidays only a month away you might even be worried about finding just what they want in time! Hopefully, this list gives you some ideas or finds some inspiration for holiday lists - If you are the DnD player looking to fill your holiday list for the family - and that it solves that quandary that is holiday shopping!

1) First off we have a gift that is very new from the world of DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) and should be a great buy whether in digital or in print. That is the brand new Book Tasha's Cauldron of Everything! If you click the link here it will take you to the DnDBeyond page where you can purchase the book digitally for your special gamer. In these Covid related times, digital gaming has seen a massive uptick and having the latest book for updated rules and brand new character subclasses will be a boon for their gaming online for years and years to come!

You can also find a hard copy on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, or any local game store that your gamer regulars!

2) Next up we have something to give to your gamer if they are playing in the game in the role of the Dungeon Master, or DM for short, and these are Condition Rings! It may not sound as exciting as you think if you aren't in the hobby but these rings allow DMs to visually showcase conditions, both good and bad, that are affecting the creatures and players at the table. These rings help organize the game and provide a welcome boost to the game's experience when gaming in person! You can find a link to some made by Tidyboss here!

3) These next two are all from the Critical Role Merch store so if they have ever mentioned the terms "CR" or "The Mighty Nein" or "Vox Machina" then read these ones for sure. This next one in particular is an excellent gift for what we call, the dice hoarder in the group! If your gamer tends to buy an incredible amount of dice and barely has enough bags to carry them in or they are in some unceremonious bucket somewhere in their room or house. Say no more with this massive Dice Bag of Holding! This particular bag has room and storage for enough dice pockets inside it for upwards of 20 sets of dice, or 140 individual die.

Click HERE if you are purchasing this one from this store and you are currently living in the UK/EU!

4) This one is for some LGBTQIA+ Pride in our lives, it's the Don't Forget to Love Each Other shirt, which has a new updated 2020 design which added the genderfluid flag design and updated the colors or the lesbian flag's design. This one also makes you feel warm inside as $10 or 10 Euros of the purchase will be directly sent to OutRight Action International which is a nonprofit that works at the international, regional and national levels to research, document, defend, and advance human rights for LGBTQIA+ people around the world! Bonus points for helping others as well! Link HERE for the US store and HERE for the UK one! Pictured at top.

5) If your gamer is out on their own and considers themselves a chef of any sort or want to try their hand at making some meals inspired by the game!

This book includes 80 recipes influenced by the game itself including items such as, "Wood Elf Forest Salad", "Fire Spiced Abyssal Chicken Kebabs" and even "Dwarven Mulled Wine". A review from Joe Manganiello says, “For whatever reason, one of the oldest and fondest D&D memories I have burned into my mind is the recipe for Otik’s Skillet-Fried Spiced Potatoes in Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home. It makes me so happy that Kyle, Jon, Michael, and company are carrying the torch for the next generation with this cookbook. P.S. Try the Halfling Chili . . .”— actor, producer, author, and D&D collaborator. This book can be purchased at your local gaming store or online HERE on Amazon.

6) And lastly, if your gamer is very young and is just starting to get into the hobby. Or if you and your gamer friend or family have children of their own you may want to look at these books for playing the game and explaining the world settings through the Dungeons & Dragons Young Adventurer's Guides. These books introduce everything needed to play the game without bogging children down with rules and procedures that fill the game normally. The link and image I will have HERE is for the 4 book collection series which includes most everything children and their parents will need to have a wonderful gaming session or campaign as a family. Something that can definitely help a child stuck inside during these times, along with their parent or parents!

I hope this helps you find something for someone you love this holiday season or kickstart some fun ideas for your own wishlists!

Also, this is my first post. Submitted for review 11/21. Thank you for even checking it out! Have a great one!
