Gifts for Fandom Fans
Are you in possession of wishlists created by someone who adores classics such as The Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, and Pokemon? Trey has some great gift ideas so you can get a thoughtful gift for all your nerdy loved ones!
T-Shirts
Shop: TeeFury
Teefury is an awesome site if you’re into any kind of geek-, nerd- or fandom, really. I used to be a major customer back in the day.
Their deal: Every day you get the chance to purchase one of two cool prints before they disappear forever. Now, back in my day, these were exclusively printed on t-shirts, which is where Teefury got their name from, but nowadays you get it on apparel, home, or pets products. Looking at those hoodies is making me want to jump right back in there…
Also, they’ve changed things a bit since last time. The old prints don’t actually
disappear, but they get more expensive, so it’s definitely worth checking in every
day to grab the latest deals! It’s a great place to find that cool t-shirt for a brother-in-law you never know what to get.
T-shirts, Lunchboxes, Bags, Socks . . .
Shop: Truffle Shuffle
Truffle Shuffle is a UK-based site for everything you could possibly think of when it comes to, as they put it: cool t-shirts, retro gifts & accessories. Basically, if you’ve ever been a fan of anything you can probably find it here.
From Lord of the Rings Vintage Map mugs to Jurassic Park Mosquito snow globes, they have everything. Personally I’m a big fan of Pokémon and that classic pixel starters t-shirt is looking mighty cool.
Truffle Shuffle has band things, movie things, TV things, gaming stuff, but also products from various brands, like Pepsi or NASA, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find a cool gift for that weird uncle you forgot to buy something for until right before Christmas. (In my family that’s usually me – I’m the weird uncle)
Blankets, Collectibles, Home Decor . . .
Shop: Merchoid
Who am I kidding, I’m sticking with the geek trend while I on it.
My last recommendation is Merchoid, and they also deliver whatever you can
imagine from your favorite fandom. Looking for a Pokeḿon throw blanket? We got you. A Star Wars ugly Christmas sweater? No problem. Warhammer 40k coasters? Of course they have that. They have everything! Clothing, kitchenware, collectibles, home decor, office stuff, pet stuff, you name it. Your dad’s going to love the thing you get him from the show he loves, I promise!
