Whether it’s Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, comics, anime, vampires, Harry Potter, World Of Warcraft or whatever, these people are usually hard to buy for. Here are some tips for shopping for the perfect gift for the fantasy fanatic in your life.

collectibles

They make a great gift for the fantasy fan. If they are anime fans, get them a limited edition animation cel from their favorite series. If you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings, there is a plethora of limited edition collectibles available for this series, including action figures, toys, weapons, jewelry, games, cards, replicas, art, and sculptures. Similar to the Lord of the Rings series, Harry Potter fans have a plethora of collectibles to choose from. No matter what series, show, movie or book your recipient loves, rest assured there are plenty of options for a collectible gift that will make them smile.

comic books

Is your husband a fan of Spiderman, Ironman or any other comic series? Consider getting them one of the rarest or oldest issues of their favorite series. Not only will this gift make any comic book fan happy, it’s a gift that will maintain and increase in value over time.

Video game

Video game aisles are packed with fantasy-related titles, from the popular Final Fantasy series to the many role-playing games set in fantasy worlds. For a fan of certain video game series, there are gift options such as a 1-year World Of Warcraft gift certificate. Or maybe you have a Zelda fan among you? Consider getting them the special Nintendo DS Lite Gold Edition, which includes the Zelda Phantom Hourglass game for DS.

DVD

If someone is a fan of The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, or Harry Potter, chances are they already own the entire set of movies on DVD. However, they may not have the series on Blu-ray or they may not have the latest and greatest collector’s edition DVD.

Suits

Dressing up as your favorite fantasy character can be fun for parties or Halloween. Few anime fans would not like to dress up as their favorite character. Do they have feelings for Inuyasha? Naruto maybe? Full costumes are available that will make your fantasy fan very happy. eBay is a great place to look for these.

Weapons and Accessories

Sometimes it’s nice to have a cool accessory or weapon to show off your love of fantasy. If your fantasy fan is a lover of samurai movies, Lord of the Rings, Robin Hood or Halo, then he might be happy to have a real katana, medieval sword or Dragonball Z sword replica.

Art

From statues to sculptures, artistic representations and lithographs, there are pieces of art available for many TV series, movies, books and games.

Music

Maybe your fan of fantasy already has the complete series of this or that, but do they have a soundtrack? Soundtracks for Japanese anime series in particular can be hard to find, a good place to look is eBay.
