Great list! The only thing I'd add is a gift subscription to the Lord of the Rings Online MMO (https://www.lotro.com/home). Such a lovely game, especially playing with family and friends, that so lovingly depicts everything Tolkien wrote and believed in, with a player community that actually feels like a community. Also, you get to punch wraiths in the face, and I am *all* about that! 😁

Oh my goodness that doormat! We just had some friends (fellow LOTR nerds) purchase a new home - I'm absolutely buying this for a housewarming gift!

Excellent gift guide!

Great list! I bought the 'no admittance except on party business' sign to hang outside my dedicated D&D room. One of my favorite purchases.

I definitely don't need anymore pretty editions of LOTR, but you've convinced me.

Awesome Guide! Lord of the Cats, LOL!

The only thing I would add is the 2016 Facsimile First Edition of 'The Hobbit,' which reproduced the 1937 edition with the classic Riddle Game chapter. This is imo the true version of the story.

You've clearly covered all the gift-buying needs of Tolkien fans and the people who love them.

I would add the items from Lord of Maps: https://lordofmaps.com/

Nothing official, but lots of real world maps in a style fairly similar to Tolkien himself.
