2024 Player's Handbook

A completely revised Player’s Handbook full of new rules and character options. This books contains the new Weapon Mastery system, 12 revised classes with 2 new subclasses, and tons of revised spells and feats. If your giftee doesn’t have the Player’s Handbook yet or is looking for an upgrade, this is 2024’s top choice.

2024 Dungeon Master's Guide

The second entry in the updated ruleset. This book is for Dungeon Masters and is much better organized than the 2014 version. It also includes a setting guide for the World of Greyhawk and rules for Bastions, making it perfect for any DM who wants to spice up their sessions.

This epic LEGO set doubles as a battle-ready 3D map for adventures. Combine it with the new rules for Bastions in the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide and let your players expand it as they continue their adventures!

For the Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast who also likes to cook! This book provides 80 recipes inspired by the fantastical world of DnD. These recipes would fit in at any traveler’s inn, dwarven great hall, or quiet elf glade.

Heroes' Feast Flavors of the Multiverse

The sequel to Heroes’ Feast released in November this year and features recipes from across the multiverse, from the Forgotten Realms to Shadowfell.

Firelight Fables

These fantasy-themed candles are sure to set the mood just right for your table. I have the Ancient Library one, and I highly recommend it. They also have a tealight sample pack, so you can mix and match or test them out to find which scent you like best!

Tavern tankard

Very useful for setting a tavern-esque mood around your table. I prefer the mugs with a wooden exterior and a stainless steel interior, mixing the warm aesthetics that wood provides with the easy clean-up stainless steel.

DnD Apparel

Tee Public has a huge selection of DnD designs that you can get on t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, mugs, and masks.

2024 Digital & Physical Core Rulebook Bundle

With the new 2024 core rulebooks release, you can snag an amazing deal on D&D Beyond—Pre-order all three book’s digital and physical version and save $60!

I personally prefer having physical books to read and playing with the help of D&D Beyond, so this deal is pretty stellar.

DnD Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle

If your giftee is new to the hobby, this introductory adventure can show them the ropes.

Xanathar’s Guide to Everything

A wonderful collection of additional content. If the person you are buying for is a long-term DM or player that doesn’t have this book, they will LOVE it.

Containing over 24 new subclasses and the artificer class, this rules expansion is a hot commodity for experienced Dungeons & Dragons groups looking to expand their game.

The Lord Of The Rings™ Roleplaying

Bring Middle-earth to your table with Free League Publishing’s The Lord Of The Rings™ Roleplaying. This book contains everything you need to run games in the world of The Lord of the Rings and uses the popular 5e ruleset to maximize approachability. There are lots of custom rules to help the game feel more like Tolkien’s low-magic world, and the book itself is beautiful.

Curse of Strahd

Easily the most popular 5e adventure, Curse of Strahd is bound to give experienced group hours of awesome adventuring.

DIY / Hollowed Out Book

I love this option because it can be personalized to your giftee. Maybe their character is a Wizard, so you find a lovely old, leather-bound book at the thrift store!

The gold standard for sub $20 dice rolling trays are the felt ones with the click-up corners. These are easy to transport as they can lie flat and are sturdy enough to play in.

Cherry Personal Dice Tray

Wyrmwood is the best in the industry for all things woodworking and nerdy. These, along with some nice metal dice, are the Cuban cigars and whiskey of any Dungeons & Dragons player’s repertoire.

Amazon has a good selection of cheap (sub $50) dice towers. If you want better quality but higher priced ones (and to support small creators), Esty and Wyrmwood have some more unique options.

If the person you are buying for is still using metal washers or coins, a “Booster Pack” of miniatures is a great place to start.

Reaper Miniatures

Reaper Miniatures is another good place to look for specific, inexpensive, high-quality miniatures. Please remember that these will need to be painted.

Hero Forge

. If the person you’re buying for would geek out to see their character come to life, this is the gift to get. If you don’t know precisely what their character looks like, you can also buy them a gift card so they can go through the fun of making it themselves.
