The Lord of the Rings has captivated audiences since the 1950s through its books, movies, and now television, fostering a dedicated fanbase that spans generations. This enduring appeal makes it an ideal theme for gift shopping in 2025. Whether you're buying for a book lover, a movie enthusiast, or a collector, there's an abundance of options to choose from. We've curated a selection of the best gifts across various interests, ensuring you find the perfect present for any Lord of the Rings fan.
Our top recommendation for Lord of the Rings readers is this stunning 1,248-page compilation of the entire trilogy, featuring 30 maps and sketches illustrated by Tolkien himself. With unique cover art and red-sprayed edges, this edition is not only a visual delight but also a treasure trove of one of the greatest fantasy works ever written. For those seeking the ultimate experience, there's also a deluxe illustrated edition available at a higher price point.
Our top pick is a recent release from last December, offering both the theatrical and extended cuts of all three Lord of the Rings movies. Encased in faux-leather packaging, it comes with a high-quality replica of the One Ring, engraved with the iconic Elvish text: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” If this set is beyond your budget, there are numerous other Lord of the Rings 4K and Blu-ray collections available.
Our build of the Rivendell set!
The top Lord of the Rings LEGO set we recommend is a majestic depiction of the Elven settlement Rivendell. This set includes 15 minifigures and movable models of key locations like Frodo’s bedroom and the Council of Elrond. With 6,167 pieces, it's a project that will keep its new owner engaged throughout the season. According to LEGO enthusiast Kevin Wong, this set is "an epic tribute to Fellowship" as highlighted in his LEGO build guide from earlier this year. Other notable LEGO sets include the massive Barad-dûr, which is the second large-scale set designed around the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
Editor's Note: There's a more affordable LEGO alternative of this set featured in our Lord of the Rings puzzle guide.

Our top pick for experienced board game players is War of the Ring, an expertly crafted strategy game for 2–4 people. It pits the armies of the Free Peoples against those of the Shadows in a battle for Middle-earth, offering a deep and engaging gameplay experience.
The Lord of the Rings starter kit is a fantastic choice for those new to Magic the Gathering. It includes two ready-to-play, 60-card decks, offering great value at $20. It's perfect for learning the game with a friend. Don't miss our comprehensive Magic the Gathering gift list, which also highlights these Lord of the Rings-themed products.
Straight from the IGN Store, this highly detailed 1:1 replica of the Mouth of Sauron is a collector's dream. The painted sculpt of the Mouth of Sauron’s helmet and lower face stands at 26" tall and features an LED-lit base depicting the Mordor Gate Tower, making it a striking addition to any collection.
