If you are looking for the best gifts for your Dungeons and Dragons-loving friends or family, then look no further!

This guide has everything you need to know about the top gift ideas for the D&D player in your life! Whether they want something to use during games or something that enhances their nerdiness outside of game night, this list has it all.

It’s also got some awesome recommendations if you’re looking for a gift for yourself!

Best Dice and Accessories

It’s hard to slay monsters and collect loot without dice!

While we may all look fondly at our first dice sets, there’s a little dice goblin in all of us that just can’t resist the appeal of adding more clicky-clacky math rocks… err… dice to the pile.

These are the best dice and accessories to keep you or your loved one rolling in style!

Dice

When playing D&D, you need to have the best dice possible. You need dice that are balanced, easy to read, and (most importantly) that look as cool as your character!

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for any tabletop gamer, it’s hard to go wrong with dice!

These sets are perfect for any D&D player who wants a really unique set of dice for their next adventure! Each die has an eye-catching design on it, which will make it easy to spot when rolling at a table full of players.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of Easy Roller Dice. Their dice have served me well over the years and come in all kinds of awesome designs and materials. Whether you’re looking for the basic plastic dice or want something truly special like metal or gemstone dice (I love my amethyst D20!), this is my top recommendation.

Accessories

Dice towers, trays, accessory kits

To go along with an epic set of dice, there are some clever accessories you might like!

Dice trays are useful for keeping your rolls on the table. Let’s be real, we’ve all gotten a little too excited at some point and accidentally thrown our precious die across the room.

Not only are dice trays fun and stylish, but they’re also practical. (Trust me, stepping on Legos is nothing compared to stepping on a four-sided die in the middle of the night!)

These are great in situations where there might be limited table space or you have to roll a bunch of dice at once.

Books Your D&D Player Will Love

To be a D&D player is to proudly collect the game’s books. They’re essential for adding new elements and options to the game while also learning more about the lore and history of the game’s many worlds.

But it can be difficult to know where to start, especially when you really want to get the perfect gift for the D&D player in your life!

Here, I’ll include this year’s hottest books that are sure to be a “critical hit” for you!

Official Books

We’ll start with the latest official releases for D&D.

It’s been a great year, to say the least. The latest books for Dungeons & Dragons have done a lot to expand the exciting lore and gameplay that has captured the imaginations of players everywhere!

Thrills, excitement, and imaginative storytelling has truly defined this year’s releases!

Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel

My personal favorite release of 2022, this is one that is not to be missed!

This book works as a collection of adventures that can be played independently or tied together as one cohesive story. What results is a bright and imaginative collection from numerous different authors that has something for everybody!

Most notably, each of these adventures takes place in settings inspired by real-life cultures and is written by people from that culture.

If you’ve ever wondered how a bustling Thai market or a Mexican Día de los Muertos celebration (among MANY others!) might look in a D&D adventure, this book expertly captures those moments and all of their nuances to help them come to life!

I haven’t stopped raving about this one since its release and am happy to recommend it!

Art & Arcana

For those who are avid collectors of all things D&D, the Art & Arcana collection is a jaw-dropping collection of artifacts from D&D’s storied history.

We’re talking over 700 pieces of D&D artwork, interviews with the most legendary creators throughout the game’s 40+ year history, some of the earliest sketches from the game’s beginnings… It’s a treasure chest!

There’s a standard and special edition, but the special edition is where it’s at. Not only are there fantastic posters and exclusive art in the special edition, but the reproduction of D&D creator Gary Gygax’s legendary Tomb of Horrors makes this the Holy Grail for any D&D collection!

Xanathar’s Guide to Everything

The first major rules expansion for D&D 5e is still one of my favorite releases to date!

“Guide to Everything” is an understatement as this book includes a huge amount of new character options, rules/mechanics for just about anything a Dungeon Master could need, and dozens of new spells and abilities!

This should be the first book you pick up after the core books!

Starter Set

The D&D 5e Starter Set is hands-down the best way to get into D&D 5e.

This set includes an introductory adventure, The Lost Mines of Phandelver, that is frequently on the list for the best adventures in all of D&D 5e. It also includes a basic rulebook, set of dice, and five pre-generated characters.

For new players, the Starter Set does a perfect job at getting you right into the action as quickly as possible without getting bogged down by all of the game’s rules. It’s the best example of “learning by doing” and has virtually become a right of passage for every D&D player!

D&D For Kids!

D&D is a game that can capture our imaginations like few other things are able to. Is it any wonder that kids would take an interest in the game?

However, the rules and mechanics can be A LOT to comprehend for the little ones.

Thankfully, there’s the perfect solution!

The Young Adventurer’s Collection is perfect for young kids who want to get into D&D. These books focus heavily on the creative storytelling and decision-making elements of D&D without bring rules and mechanics into the equation.

I have rarely been as impressed as I am with this collection. Almost immediately, my nephews were pretending to be mighty barbarians on a quest to slay a dragon. They couldn’t get enough of reading these books together!

If you’ve got a Young Adventurer who wants to discover the world of fantasy and D&D, this collection is a steal!

Terrain and Miniatures to Level Up Their Game!

Classically, D&D was played with grid paper and a lot of imagination or “theatre of the mind.”

These days, however, there are tons of options for including miniatures in your D&D game. Not only does it make for a more engaging gaming experience, but it’s also great for really opening up the tactical elements of the game!

You don’t necessarily NEED miniatures to play D&D, but it’s the best way to really level up the experience!

Miniatures

Miniatures are used to represent the various heroes and enemies within the game. For gifts, I recommend going with these options!

Starter Set

The Starter Set includes miniatures of the most iconic types of heroes. The figures are all pre-painted so it’s just as easy as opening the package!

Bricks

Miniature boosters include 4 miniatures each. These are “blind boxes” which means it’s totally random which miniatures are going to be included in each of the booster boxes.

To quickly begin building a miniature collection with a wide variety of heroes, monsters, and more, you get the most bang for your buck if you get a “brick” or set of booster boxes.

Like the Starter Set, the miniatures in these boxes come pre-painted which means they’re immediately ready to bring into the game right out of the box.

Eldritch Foundry

I absolutely love Eldritch Foundry. It allows users to design their own miniature based on their character from a huge amount of options.

Once designed, you can have the miniature 3D printed and shipped straight to you. It does take some time for the printing and shipping process (about 3-4 weeks in my case), but they do offer gift cards that you can get by clicking the present icon on the top right of the screen.

It’s probably better that way though. It’s incredibly fun thumbing through all of the options and watching your beloved D&D character come to life!

Check out Eldritch Foundry by clicking here!

Condition Rings

There are a ton of status effects in D&D that can make it a little difficult to keep track of everything. Characters might find themselves getting poisoned, put into a magical sleep, or more. In addition to everything else happening, you have to remember which conditions are affecting which character.

Especially in big boss fights, it can get hectic!

Condition Rings easily slip over the character’s miniatures to help you visually keep track of what conditions are affecting a character.

It’s a simple and elegant way to keep track of what’s happening without slowing the game down so that everyone can focus on the action!

Grids and Terrain

Just like miniatures have become the new standard for the full D&D experience, you need stuff for the characters to interact with!

There are three main options when you’re looking for things to use miniatures with.

WizKids WarLock Tiles

WizKids WarLock Tiles fit perfectly in that spot where quality meets value. I’ve been consistently impressed with these and they’ve done so much to improve my home games.

Characters can now navigate the 3D dungeons which are easily able to be built ahead of time. Furthermore, the WarLock clips prevent accidents due to things like pets, kids, or overexcited dice rolling.

There are multiple options for 3D terrain out there, but WizKids WarLock Tiles is hands-down the best option for the price!

Not only is this mat big enough to meet any group’s needs, it’s much less wasteful than going through tons of grid paper at a time.

Dungeon Tiles

Dungeon Tiles are a great, inexpensive way to start building dungeons to use your miniatures with. They are cardboard tiles with designs and grids printed on them that can be easily put together to build a dungeon in no time.

It gives an enhanced visual experience over just a plain grid but are much cheaper than getting the fancy 3D terrain. Prior to getting my hands on the WarLock tiles, these served me well for countless hours of D&D games!

Journals (An Adventurer’s Best Friend!)

For all of the dice rolling and monster-slaying in D&D, it might be easy to overlook the importance of a good notebook!

However, everyone (whether they’re a DM or player) benefits from having a notebook to keep track of important information during the game.

RocketBook

Especially as a DM, Rocketbook has been an absolute lifesaver. It’s no ordinary journal!

Simply write as your normally would in the Rocketbook then effortlessly upload your notes to your favorite cloud service like OneNote, Evernote, Google Drive, or more.

As a DM, it’s my secret weapon for doing my preparations and keeping my games interesting. As a Player, it helps me be WAY more organized than I typically am otherwise.

Plus, I’m a hippie so I really like that it’s an environmentally friendly option!

The deeper into the lair you go, the greater the treasures can be.

But be careful! A sleeping dragon is sure to wake eventually!
