Young kids with moderate building skills all the way up to adult professionals and retired hobbyists will get hours of fun out of building these famous architectural models.

The intricacy of the designs, the beauty of the structures, and the fun of Lego all combine to make the ideal hobby for so many people of all ages and interests.

To help you find the best gift for an architect or Lego-savvy kid, here is the complete list of every single Lego Architecture set ever made.

This includes the Architect series proper as well as the Landmark and Skyline series. All of these lines are typically listed and included under the Lego Architecture brand.

All Lego Architecture Sets: The Complete List

This list includes every single Architecture Series set released by LEGO including the Skyline Series, the Famous Landmarks Series, Limited Edition Sets (often only given to LEGO employees), and retired LEGO Architecture sets.

This list doesn’t, however, include the Creator Series, as it is its own separate series.

While the Creator Series does include various buildings and structures, the Architecture Series focuses solely on recreating famous architectural accomplishments simply and beautifully.

2008: SEARS TOWER (WILLIS TOWER)

Set: #21000

Name: LEGO Architecture Sears Tower, aka Willis Tower, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Year: 2008, reissued 2011 as Willis Tower; Retired

Pieces: 69

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The original LEGO Architecture release, 69 pieces assembled with beautiful simplicity.

This set is retired so it is difficult to come by, but you can usually find a marked-up set listed on major reseller sites like Ebay.

2008: JOHN HANCOCK CENTER

Set: #21001

Name: LEGO Architecture John Hancock Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Year: 2008; Retired

Pieces: 69

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The second of two sets from the Architecture Series’ initial 2008 year, the John Hancock Center is also retired. The original building is now known as 360 Chicago.

Note that both the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower are featured in the Chicago Skyline set (#21033).

The Skyline set is far superior and each tower boasts more realistic detail. Unless you are a collector, skip these first two sets in favor of the Chicago Skyline piece.

2009: EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

Set: #21002

Name: LEGO Architecture Empire State Building, New York City, New York, USA

Year: 2009; Retired

Pieces: 77

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

LEGO’s original run simply wasn’t great. Here the Empire State Building looks flat and lifeless, like the buildings in both 2008 sets.

As with landmark buildings in those sets, the Empire State gets a proper revision in the New York City Skyline set (#21028).

The Skyline also features the Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center, along with a small representation of the Statue of Liberty.

2009: SEATTLE SPACE NEEDLE

Set: #21003

Name: LEGO Architecture Seattle Space Needle, Seattle, Washington, USA

Year: 2009; Retired

Pieces: 57

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Here we have the first great Lego Architecture set. With 2009’s Space Needle, you can see the designers actually accomplish what they must have been trying to do.

That is, namely, to represent a great architectural work with simplicity and grace. Using just 57 pieces, the tiny replica of Seattle’s famous landmark works perfectly.

2009: THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

Set: #21004

Name: LEGO Architecture Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, New York, USA

Year: 2009; Retired

Pieces: 208

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

With the Guggenheim it appeared that the Lego Architecture Series found its stride.

A good reproduction of the famed New York City museum, this 2009 official “Architect” set has about three times as many pieces as the previous “Landmark” sets and does a solid service as a replica model.

Still, Lego’s decision to revisit the Guggenheim in 2017 with a 744 piece set (#21035) was a wise decision, and a far superior set. See below.

2009: FALLINGWATER

Set: #21005

Name: LEGO Architecture Fallingwater, Mill Run, Pennsylvania

Year: 2009; Retired

Pieces: 811

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Here we see Lego begin to realize the potential of the Architect series. 

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater is perhaps the famous architect’s most iconic work. Lego presents an admirable tribute using over 800 bricks.

2010: THE WHITE HOUSE

Set: #21006

Name: LEGO Architecture The White House, Washington, D.C., USA

Year: 2010; Retired

Pieces: 560

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

There was only one addition to the Lego Architecture series in 2010, but it is an iconic choice. At 560 pieces, we see that the Architecture sets continue to realize that bigger and more detailed is better.

2011: ROCKEFELLER CENTER

Set: #21007

Name: LEGO Architecture Rockefeller Center, New York City, New York, USA

Year: 2011; Retired

Pieces: 240

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The Rockefeller Center unfortunately finds Lego falling back to the earlier 2008 standards.

A more complex model, this set by default requires more pieces than those 70 piece duds. Still, at just 240 pieces this version barely scratches the surface of what could have been.

Overall the work has a nice aesthetic, and does an adequate job as a faithful representation of the original. Ultimately this set is only for collectors.

2011: BURJ KHALIFA

Set: #21008

Name: LEGO Architecture Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Year: 2011, Retired

Pieces: 208

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Finally, in its fourth year, Lego Architecture leaves the United States. The famous Burj Khalifa of Dubai gets the minimalist treatment, using mostly small rounds to replicate the world’s tallest building.

A fun, simple set, ideal for collectors and younger kids. Lego revamped their design with a re-release in 2016 that uses 333 pieces, resulting in a far superior build. See below.

2011: FARNSWORTH HOUSE

Set: #21009

Name: LEGO Architecture Farnsworth House, Plano, Illinois, USA

Year: 2011, Retired

Pieces: 546

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Lego’s take on this minimalist masterpiece is one of the Architect series’ top early achievements.

Plenty of pieces and detail without becoming overwhelming for children, this is a model that can be built and enjoyed by old and young alike.

2011: ROBIE HOUSE

Set: #21010

Name: LEGO Architecture Robie House, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Year: 2011, retired

Pieces: 2276

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Another Frank Lloyd Wright classic, this one gets the royal treatment with an incredible 2276 Lego bricks.

2011: BRANDENBURG GATE

Set: #21011

Name: LEGO Architecture Brandenburg Gate, Brandenburger Tor, Berlin, Germany

Year: 2011, retired

Pieces: 363

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The famed 18th-century neoclassical monument Brandenburger Tor from Berlin gets a royal treatment from Lego Architecture.

With just 363 pieces, this set is not as intricate as many others, but it as a representation of the Brandenburg Gate it is spot on while using an economy of bricks – an architect’s goal realized.

2012: SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Set: #21012

Name: LEGO Architecture Sydney Opera House, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Year: 2012, retired

Pieces: 270

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Not to be confused with 2013’s massive 2,989-piece Lego Creator version of the Sydney Opera House, this initial set of 270 pieces is solidly interesting if not quite brilliant.

2012: BIG BEN

Set: #21013

Name: LEGO Architecture Big Ben, London, Great Britain

Year: 2012

Pieces: 346

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

This 2012 LEGO Architecture set of London’s famous landmark clock presents an attractive design with minimal pieces.

It does good service to Big Ben, yet it doesn’t feel too minimal. An ideal set to get young ones into the series.

2012: VILLA SAVOYE

Set: #21014

Name: LEGO Architecture Villa Savoye, Poissy, France

Year: 2012

Pieces: 660

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Finished in 1931 from a design by Swiss architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, the Villa Savoye is a paragon of architectural modernism.

And that is precisely what makes it perfect for a LEGO set. The 2012 version of this villa totals 660 pieces in a brilliant reconstruction that closes in on perfection.

2012: SUNGNYEMUN GATE

Set: #21016

Name: LEGO Architecture Sungnyemun Gate, Seoul, South Korea

Year: 2012

Pieces: 325

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Sungnyemun Gate (숭례문 in Hangul), commonly known as the Namdaemun Gate, is one of the Eight Gates in Seoul’s Fortress Wall.

The 2012 LEGO Architecture version doesn’t quite capture it for me, and reports are common of the set being rather boring to create — it’s just layers of small bricks. This one might need a remake at some point.

2013: LEANING TOWER OF PISA

Set: #21015

Name: LEGO Architecture The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Torre pendente di Pisa, Pisa, Italy

Year: 2013

Pieces: 345

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Who wouldn’t want to own the Leaning Tower of Pisa in LEGO form? The tilting tower is one of the world’s most recognizable and fascinating buildings.

The set here is simple and I would have preferred a little more detail, but it does the job. A nice addition to any LEGO Architecture enthusiast’s collection.

2013: IMPERIAL HOTEL

Set: #21017

Name: LEGO Architecture The Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

Year: 2013

Pieces: 1188

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Simply a stunning set. A beautiful representation of the iconic Tokyo hotel, this set is delightful to look at and will keep you busy with nearly twelve hundred pieces.

2013: UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS

Set: #21018

Name: The United Nations Headquarters

Year: 2013

Pieces: 597

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

I love the UN Headquarters; it always makes me think of North by Northwest.

With 597 tiny pieces intricately placed in a medium-smallish replication of the famous international landmark, LEGO did a fine job and the result is a desirable, interesting set.

2013: LEGO ARCHITECTURE STUDIO SET

Set: #21050

Name: Lego Architecture Studio Set

Year: 2013

Pieces: 1210

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Lego decided to go a little different route with the Studio set. It’s from 2013, but the number is not sequential – notice that we are skipping from 21018 to this and then on to 21019.

Rather than choosing a specific building, this set is all about inspiring the imaginations of the next generation of architects.

The set includes over a thousand pieces, sorting trays, and a massive 272 page booklet filled with architectural tips and building techniques. It’s a winner in my book.

2014: THE EIFFEL TOWER

Set: #21019

Name: The Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

Year: 2014

Pieces: 321

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

My son and I built this one together. I found it was a moderately difficult build for just 321 pieces. Looks just like the real deal, and it was easy enough to hold my 6-year-old’s interest while tough enough to require my help, making it a great father-son activity.

Anyone who sees it instantly knows what it is, and the relatively low piece-count kept the cost down and made it more affordable than some of the other Lego Architecture sets on this list. A real winner.

2014: THE TREVI FOUNTAIN

Set: #21020

Name: The Trevi Fountain, Fontana di Trevi, Rome, Italy

Year: 2014

Pieces: 731

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Most Lego enthusiasts seem to like this set, but I find that it doesn’t quite convey the intricate details that make the real Trevi Fountain so appealing. You just can’t do justice to the massive and perfectly rendered sculptures with, like, 3 round Lego bricks.

Don’t get me wrong, if someone gave this to me I would totally enjoy building it. It’s just not the best choice for the Lego Architecture series.

2014: MARINA BAY SANDS

Set: #21021

Name: Marina Bay Sands, Republic of Singapore

Year: 2014

Pieces: 602

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

I like the Marina Bay Sands resort, but only in the kitschy way that New York fans must like the Yankees. This Lego Architecture set gets it.

2015: LINCOLN MEMORIAL

Set: #21022

Name: The Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., USA

Year: 2014

Pieces: 274

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Beauty in simplicity. That’s the source of the power of the Lincoln Memorial, just on a massive scale.

This lovely 2014 set does the same thing, but in miniature. A great addition to your collection.

2015: FLATIRON BUILDING

Set: #21023

Name: Flatiron Building, New York City, NY, USA

Year: 2015

Pieces: 471

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Who wouldn’t want the Lego version of this oddly iconic triangular office building? I know I do.

This is what the Lego Architecture series is all about, and they nail it on this one.

2015: LOUVRE

Set: #21024

Name: The Louvre, Paris, France

Year: 2015

Pieces: 695

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Unlike the Trevi Fountain (see above), which requires detail to give the full effect, the world’s most famous art museum works perfectly in Lego form.

Both the classical building and the modernist glass Pyramid are easily identified and look great in this fine set.

2016: VENICE SKYLINE

Set: #21026

Name: Venice, Italy

Year: 2016

Pieces: 212

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Lego kicked off the “Skyline” series under the Architecture label with this simple edition of the Venice’s most notable landmarks.

As with the first few Architecture sets from the early ‘oughts, this one does the job, looks nice, and doesn’t use too many pieces.

2016: BERLIN SKYLINE

Set: #21027

Name: Berlin, Germany

Year: 2016

Pieces: 289

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Berlin, Germany as depicted by the Lego Architecture Skyline series. Light, tight, and cool. An easy build and a nice addition to any collection.

2016: NEW YORK CITY SKYLINE

Set: #21028

Name: LEGO Architecture New York City, New York, USA

Year: 2016

Pieces: 598

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

This stunning Skyline set includes the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Flatiron Building, and One World Trade Center all together.

A masterpiece of iconic visuals with an economy of bricks. This is one of the few Skyline sets I truly love.

2016: BUCKINGHAM PALACE

Set: #21029

Name: LEGO Architecture Buckingham Palace, London, Great Britain

Year: 2016

Pieces: 780

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Slightly toyish in appearance, if you can accept that (LEGO is a toy, after all) then I think you will agree that the Architecture version of Buckingham Palace is another masterpiece in the collection.

It even has a little red tourist trolley driving by!

2016: US CAPITOL BUILDING

Set: #21030

Name: LEGO Architecture United States Capitol Building, Washington, D.C., USA

Year: 2016

Pieces: 1032

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

I don’t see how anyone could not love this set. With just over a thousand bricks, there are plenty of pieces to provide the detail needed to capture the look and feel of the Capitol building.

2016: BURJ KHALIFA

Set: #21031

Name: LEGO Architecture Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Year: 2016

Pieces: 333

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

A perfect, streamlined representation of the world’s tallest building. This set hearkens back to the simplicity of the early skyscraper designs in the LEGO Architecture series, but with a little more detail.

The end result captures the beautifully unique design of the Burj Khalifa almost perfectly.

2017: SYDNEY SKYLINE

Set: #21032

Name: LEGO Architecture Sydney Skyline

Year: 2017

Pieces: 361

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The Sydney Skyline set is clever, simple, and elegant. I love the way they pulled off the Opera House. The look and “balance” of the set’s composition is also very attractive.

2017: CHICAGO SKYLINE

Set: #21033

Name: LEGO Architecture Chicago Skyline

Year: 2017

Pieces: 444

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

While Chicago’s skyscrapers don’t quite enjoy the fame of those of New York, the Windy City still presents an attractive and unique skyline.

In this set, Willis Tower, John Hancock Center, Cloud Gate, DuSable Bridge, Wrigley Building and the Big Red all get their due.

Each building is well-represented with simple and effective brick designs.

2017: LONDON SKYLINE

Set: #21034

Name: LEGO Architecture London Skyline

Year: 2017

Pieces: 468

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The London Skyline set might be my favorite of the Skyline series. The buildings are iconic and easily recognized.

Big Ben? London Bridge? Yes, and yes. Plus the set includes more “yes” to the tune of Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery.

But more than that there is a masterful sense of balance provided by the colors (a consistent beige and white) and shapes (pointed towers in the foreground offset by the London Eye observation wheel in the background).

It’s a great set, perfect for play or as an addition to your collection.

2017: THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

Set: #21035

Name: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, USA

Year: 2017

Pieces: 744

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Simply brilliant. Art, architecture, and Lego in perfect harmony. I think this is one of the best in the entire series.

2017: ARC DE TRIOMPHE

Set: #21036

Name: Arc De Triomphe, Paris, France

Year: 2017

Pieces: 386

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The Arc De Triomphe is a beautiful memorial structure, and the Lego Architecture version does it justice.

This set uses the right combination to capture the look and feel of the monument without using too many or too few pieces.

2017: LEGO HOUSE

Set: #21037

Name: LEGO Architecture Lego House, Billund, Denmark

Year: 2017 (limited edition)

Pieces:

Find on: Ebay

The Lego House is a rare find, ideal for true and avid collectors.

It is not available on Lego’s website, and can only be purchased at the LEGO House gift shop in Billund, Denmark (though you can find it, sometimes, on Ebay).

2018: LAS VEGAS SKYLINE

Set: #21047

Name: Las Vegas Skyline

Year: 2018

Pieces: 501

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Las Vegas is one of my least favorite places I’ve ever been. But still… The Skyline version of LV is pretty cool.

Each building or structure is immediately recognizable, and the set as a whole captures that Vegas vibe.

2018: SHANGHAI SKYLINE

Set: #21039

Name: LEGO Architecture Shanghai Skyline

Year: 2018

Pieces: 597

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

It seems to me like the Skyline Series is a bit hit and miss. This addition to the LEGO Skyline sets is definitely a hit, though.

The set captures the Chenghuang Miao Temple, Longhua Temple and Pagoda, Radisson Blu Hotel, Bund area, Oriental Pearl, World Financial Center and the Shanghai Tower in ascending glory.

Each building is instantly identifiable yet they were designed with just a handful of pieces each. Brilliant.

2018: GREAT WALL OF CHINA

Set: #21041

Name: LEGO Architecture Great Wall of China

Year: 2018

Pieces: 551

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

I love the rolling flow of the Lego Architecture Great Wall of China. It’s perfect.

Without having the squares and rectangles of so many of the other iconic landmarks, the designers pulled this one off with flair and style. The contrasting tan and green bricks cause the wall to truly stand out.

2018: STATUE OF LIBERTY

Set: #21042

Name: LEGO Architecture Statue of Liberty, New York, USA

Year: 2018

Pieces: 1685

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

A towering rendition of the iconic symbol of the United States of America. The detail of this Lego Architecture set is incredible, using just the right balance of pieces.

2019: SAN FRANCISCO SKYLINE

Set: #21043

Name: LEGO Architecture San Francisco Skyline

Year: 2019

Pieces: 565

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

I love what the creators of the San Francisco Skyline did with this set.

The rolling green hills add just the right touch, giving the set a sense of warmth and earthiness that many of the other Architecture models lack. Well done!

2019: PARIS SKYLINE

Set: #21044

Name: LEGO Architecture

Year: 2019

Pieces: 649

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The Paris Skyline is nice when you take in the whole picture. But looking at each individual structure, I get the feeling that something is lacking. Personally, I’d go with the solo version of the Eiffel Tower (#21019 from 2014).

Still, they did manage to pack in six recognizable Parisian elements, plus some splashes of green in the grass and trees.

Ultimately, it’s an attractive set when taken all at once and the price isn’t too bad at all.

2019: TRAFALGAR SQUARE

Set: #21045

Name: LEGO Architecture Trafalgar Square, London, Great Britain

Year: 2019

Pieces: 1197

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Lego’s rendition of Trafalgar Square in London is just a busy as it is in real life!

This famous tourist spot details the tree lined streets, the fountains, and even a red tour bus.

2019: EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

Set: #21046

Name: LEGO Architecture Empire State Building, New York, USA

Year: 2019

Pieces: 1767

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

To my mind, the Empire State Building is the perfect subject matter for the Lego Architecture series.

Clean lines, a base that begins to sprawl outward, and the pointed top (not to mention yellow taxicabs in the street below!) make this a true collectors item that is instantly recognizable.

2019: Burj Khalifa

Set: #21055

Name: LEGO Architecture-Burj Khalifa

Year: 2019

Pieces: 333

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

This is simply a re-issue of set 21008 from 2016. It’s the exact same set, with no differences.

2020: Tokyo

Set: #21051

Name: LEGO Architecture Skylines: Tokyo 21051

Year: 2020

Pieces: 547

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Lego continues expanding the “Skyline” series within the Architecture line. This time, Tokyo gets star treatment. And it’s well deserved!

Tokyo has an amazing city profile, and the set includes Tokyo Tower, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, Tokyo Big Sight, and Tikyo Skytree, plus Chidorigafuchi Park and Shibuya Crossing.

2020: Dubai

Set: #21052

Name: LEGO Architecture Skylines: Dubai 21052

Year: 2020

Pieces: 740

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Dubai has already been represented in this series with multiple issues of the Burj Khalifa as a standalone set. Now we get the world’s tallest building as part of the Dubai skyline, and it’s stunning.

The Burj Khalifa is an upgrade, with a new look based on rounded (rather than angled flat) pieces, plus blue accents that feel more true to life. In addition this 740 piece set also boasts the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel, Dubai Frame, and The Dubai Fountain.

2020: The White House

Set: #21054

Name: LEGO Architecture Collection: The White House 21054

Year: 2020

Pieces: 1483

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

The White House was an early inclusion in the Architecture series, with the 560 piece set from 2010 (which is now retired).

This version, a decade later, is a significant update that adds both the East and West wings, along with a stunning representation of the greenery immediately surrounding the Presidential home.

2021: Taj Mahal

Set: #21056

Name: LEGO Architecture Taj Mahal (20156) Building Toy

Year: 2021

Pieces: 2022

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Finally, Lego Architecture takes on one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic buildings: The Taj Mahal.

With over two thousand pieces, this building set is a true triumph. The most famous mausoleum ever constructed, the Taj Mahal is a pristine example of elegance, architecture, history, and an enduring labor of love.

2022: Singapore

Set: #21057

Name: LEGO Architecture Skyline Collection: Singapore (21057) Building Kit

Year: 2022

Pieces: 827

Find at: Amazon – Ebay

Next and latest on the list of LEGO architecture skylines is the Singapore Skyline. Singapore’s skyline has become one of the modern world’s most iconic, and for good reason.

The exorbitantly modern designs of Marina Bay Sands, the OCBC Centre, One Raffles Place and more are all depicted here in attractive bricks that perfectly capture the color and vibrancy of downtown Singapore.

2022: Great Pyramid of Giza

Set: #21058

Name: LEGO Architecture Famous Landmarks Collection: Great Pyramid of Giza (21058) Building Kit

Year: 2022

Pieces: 1,476

Find at: Amazon

Feel transported back in time to Ancient Egypt as you build and display this LEGO brick model of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The clever design of the Great Pyramid features a shell that conceals the intricate inner-workings of the massive structure, while you get the beauty of the vibrant Nile River in the foreground.

Sure to delight any lover of history, architecture, or travel, this set will look beautiful on display for all to see and admire.

2023: Himeji Castle

Set: #21060

Name: LEGO Architecture Landmarks Collection: Himeji Castle

Year: 2023

Pieces: 2,125

Find at: Amazon

Celebrate the longevity and majestic beauty of Japan’s largest castle with this build-and-display set. The beauty of the real deal is captured rather well, and the height of this set is impressive.

We have to tip our hats to LEGO for choosing to include the raised base of this castle, rather than focusing solely on the structure itself.

You can even choose the season. The model features a LEGO brick interpretation of the surrounding gardens, including 4 buildable cherry blossom trees, 2 with green foliage and 2 with pink cherry blossoms

Limited & Special Edition Sets

These LEGO Architecture sets are extremely rare. Most of them were given to LEGO employees or are only available in Denmark. If you’re a collector, you might be able to find some on auction sites like Ebay.

Technically they are not advertised under the “LEGO Architecture” label. But since the sets follow the same style and general idea as the Architecture series, most collectors consider them as a sort of rare subset.

If you don’t know what cosplay is, well, you’re not alone. But not for long! It’s actually a rather intricate and absorbing hobby which is becoming increasingly popular all over the world.

Encouraged by the rise of “fandoms” and many hit movie, TV, book, and comic franchises that used to be considered for nerds only, geek culture has crossed over into the mainstream and cosplay is one way that people enjoy and live out their favorite fictional worlds.

So let’s explain this phenomenon for all y’all newbies, and give you enough insight that you can confidently pick a cosplayer gift that will blow their character’s boots right off.

Our website is supported by our users. We sometimes earn a commission when you click through the affiliate links on our website. See our privacy policy & disclosures for more information.

What Is Cosplay?

Cosplay is a combination of “costume” and “play.” It’s the practice of wearing a costume – usually of a favorite TV-show or video game character but it can also be as unique as dressing up as the Morton Salt Girl – and play acting as that character while attending a convention, movie premiere, or just for fun.

While you can buy pre-made cosplay outfits, true enthusiasts find more fun and authenticity in making their own. So DIY (do-it-yourself) is very popular in this niche, and many cosplayers are actually incredible artisans in the realms of sewing, makeup, and replica-making.

What Are Some Popular Cosplay Characters?

Fans of just about anything love to dress up as their favorite character, and often the more unique and obscure, the better. Still, there are some popular go-to characters that get cosplay’d all the time.

Here are some of the usual suspects you’ll likely see at a nerdy convention:

• Batman
• Little Mermaid
• Harley Quinn
• Yuuki Asuna
• Samus
• Princess Leia
• Madoka Kaname
• Black Panther
• Where’s Waldo
• Cruella de Vil
• Elsa
• Lara Croft
• Eren Yeager
• Groot
• Jack Skellington
• Kratos
• Kaoru & Hikaru Hitachiin
• Persona 5: Joker

Best Cosplayer Gifts

As we go along we’ll get into more detail about what interests a cosplayer. But here’s an overview of the types of gifts we’ll include:

• DIY Cosplay Materials
• Replicas
• Convention Care Packages
• Non-Cosplayer Gifts
• Japan Appreciation Gifts (for Weebs!)
• Special Occasions
• Best Gift: Join Them!

Ready? Let’s dive in!

Materials for DIY Cosplayers

Most people that cosplay will make make their own outfits. There is just something more to admire when a fan puts in time and dedication to make the outfit as realistic as possible, or puts their own cool twist on it. Even if it’s something as small as crocheting your own Natsu scarf or folding paper to create the Sim’s iconic plumbob, we all appreciate a well-crafted DIY outfit.

This means that a gift basket, filled with their favorite (and much-needed) materials will be a gift that they appreciate and use!

Here are some cosplay material ideas to get you started as you fill up the perfect cosplayer gift basket.

1. Nerdy Gift Boxes

Creative people can make just about anything they need with whatever they have around them. And cosplayers are often exactly that type!

Give them a hand by adding tools that they perhaps weren’t expecting but will later wonder how they ever lived without. We’re talking about PVC pipes and fittings, a good heat gun (for bending pipe), paint, glue, a pipe cutter and helpful precision knives. PVC can be cut, assembled, and painted to create all sorts of fun replicas, accents, and character accessories.

While we are on talk of tools, what about storage for said tools? Leather wraps like this personalized leather brush holder is perfect for keeping their personal crafting brushes safe.

And don’t forget the crafting supplies! These hand dyed yarns are not just any yarn, these are handmade from merino wool. Special yarn for special cosplays.

BTW… like the box? Here is the link. Or make your own! They’ll love it.

2. Sewing Machine

The Brother XR9550 computerized sewing machine will be the only sewing machine they will ever need. Not only is Brother an amazing brand, but it literally has all the electronic stitching and button sizing you can image. Perfect for creating any and every cosplay outfit they will ever wear.

Add an extra touch by including much-needed accessories like measuring tapes, thread, and this cool adjustable mannequin! This is one of the best cosplayer gifts because they will use it forever and ever.

3. Makeup Pack

Makeup is an essential cosplay material. From glitter to fake eye lashes, having unique makeup just for your cosplays, that adds a whole other level to the adventure.

Anyone can buy Urban Decay, but something magical like this glow in dark eye shadow will really make them scream with excitement! And since cosplayers tend to travel or change into multiple outfits, having a personalized makeup bag will not only help them not forget their most important makeup but also know it’s theirs!

Don’t forget to include these blinged out brushes. *wink wink*

4. Leather Kit

This Leather Kit includes everything needed to work, shape, cut, stitch, and repair leather for any and every type of costume.

No more plastic knockoffs for your cosplayer – only the best, genuine leather! And with this gift, they’ll be able to work it into the perfect character accessories and outfits.

5. Jewelry Set

For many characters, jewelry is integral to their look and even the plotline. Think of the Evenstar from LOTR, the Mockingjay pin from Hunger Games, the Auryn from Neverending Story, just to name a few. With a jewelry creating set like this one, your DIY-cosplayer will be ready for anything.

Bonus idea: Adding metals/stones that are unique and special to your cosplaying friend will help show just how much you know them. This shop is full of beautiful stones to help you choose from. I think even Thanos would be jealous!

Cosplay Replica Gifts

If they’re not into the DIY/crafty angle (or if they already have tons of stuff and you’re not sure what they might need for craft tools and supplies), then go with a replica of a famous weapon, hat, bracelet, ring, or any other type of prop.

Here are a few great replica gifts for cosplayers!

1. Tattoos

Some of us are too young to get the real deal, or are not sure if we want to jump on the Fairy Tail Guild tattoo yet (am I the only fan without one?).

Temporary tattoos are the perfect way to make your cosplay come to life whether it be some cool Viking ruin tats or the creepy laughing Joker smile.

Or you could spring for the permanent version, and take them to the tattoo shop! Either way, they’ll be thrilled.

2. Weapons & Shields

There is no limit to amount of weapons that can be used in cosplay. From magic spells to medieval swords, something from our list below will be sure to fit a wide variety of outfits!

• Fairly Odd Parents Wand
• Katana
• Halo’s Plasma Rifle
• Link’s Hylian Shield
• Skyrim Horned Curved Bow

Note: Whether you plan on buying or making your own weapons, be sure to check your next conventions guidelines on what materials your weapon can be made from. They want to keep everyone safe!

3. Jewelry/Props

Here’s one example you might not think of right away: For a fan of The Simpsons, how about Lisa Simpson’s chunky white pearls? These were a gift from her mother, who also wears the orange version of these same pearls.

4. Wigs

Let’s face it. You probably don’t have hair like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, Washu Hakubi from Tenchi Muyo, or Sailor Moon’s insane bun-plus-ponytail. But you can wig it!

If your cosplayer is crafting a wig to look like, say, Radagast the Brown with birds in his hair, then don’t forget important supplies like these cute birds nests.

Convention Care-Package

Chances are, if you’re cosplaying then you’re at a convention! And if you have ever been to the famous conventions like A-Kon or GameFest you’ll know just how exhausting it can be to roam around all day (especially if you got the 3 day pass!).

These care packages inserts will not only help support you as you do your routine 5 cosplay outfit changes but also your 1st time friends who won’t know what to expect.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Character-Themed ID Holder

Trust me, you don’t want to lose that pass ID! Especially when you planned on being there the whole weekend. And of course you know by now that there are plenty of options beyond just Harry Potter. Find the one that’s perfect for your favorite character, or for your cosplayer geek friend!

2. Backpack

You are going to be walking around all day carrying around Pocky Sticks, soda, and all the merch you can get your hands on. You’re definitely going to want a bag to hold it all and bonus points if that bag matches your cosplay!

3. Merch to Sign

Before you head out to your next convention, check online to see if you favorite voice actor will be there and how you can get a signature from them! Don’t forget something for them to sign like this awesome Black Butler Undertaker Hoodie.

Not Into Cosplay? Don’t Worry. Here are 14 Cosplay-Adjacent Gift Ideas

Maybe you’re still not seeing it, or perhaps you’re looking for a gift for a non-cosplayer geek friend.

After all, just because you don’t wear the Leaf Forehead Protector doesn’t mean you aren’t a true Naruto fan. (Don’t worry if you don’t get that one… your nerdy friend will.)

Anyways… We have 14 non-cosplay gift ideas that any true fan – cosplayer or not – would love to receive.

1. Props

One of the key things we geeks love about anime shows like One Punch Man, or movies like Lord of the Rings, is how immersed we become in the world just by watching it.

Giving your friend replica props from their favorite show can really add to immersion! Especially when it actually plays like this Ocarina of Time Flute from Legend of Zelda! Bonus points if you learn how to play a song on it for them.

2. Fan Art

Original movie posters are always good, but if you want to take your gift to the next level, you’ll want something original and unique. Thankfully there are plenty of talented artists out there creating art for all the greatest fandoms!

For instance, the animated children’s/family feature Iron Giant was considered a flop on release, but due to stellar animation, strong characters, and an original yet timeless storyline, it’s gained a reputation as one of the best animated films of all time. Above you see some fan art created by Rose Makes Art, which you can purchase for your Iron Giant-loving cosplay geek friend.

3. Mugs

What’s better? Awesome fan mug or play on words? Why not both!! This “Kupo Coffee” Mug (sounds like cup-o-coffee) is a fun, useable gift for any Final Fantasy fan!

4. Manga

Manga is a form of Japanese comic books, which are typically done in the anime drawing style.

Anime can have arguably some of the most beautiful illustrations, in many of them you can actually find the inspirational artwork in the architecture and nature across the real world!

While Death Note is an action-packed anime show that they can watch, there is something about the manga’s artwork and storyline many of us manga collectors love to see! Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want Ryuk in their life?

5. Figurines

Figurines are a great way for fans to decorate their office space or home with their favorite characters!

These range from child friendly Spock rubber ducks like the one shown above to the well-known figures like this Bulbasaur Funko Pop. (Dare I say Funko Pops are the beanie babies of our generation?).

From realistic to silly (again, see the rubber ducky above), there are collectible figurines of all types and styles. If you’re at a loss on how to find the perfect figurine, here’s what you do:

1. Find out their favorite series or fantasy world/fandom
2. Look up the characters from that world
3. Choose one or more (the more obscure, the better)
4. Decide whether you want to play it straight or do something off-the-wall (like the rubber ducky, above)
5. Make or buy figures in that style

If you want to give a gift that won’t just stay on the shelf, there are also these cool Dragon Ball Z car air fresheners! It’s a gift that will travel with them, and

Appreciation for Japan

Most people who are into these topics usually have an appreciation for the Japanese culture and its language (because who watches dubbed?). If you know someone who falls into this category, these are the perfect gifts to help bring part of their beautiful culture into our homes.

6. Lucky Cat

Chances are, you have seen the very popular Fortune Cat, also known as a Maneki-neko, at some point in your life. This fortune cat keychain is not only super kawaii (cute), but a cherished charm for people that want to bring a little bit of luck around with them!

Curious about the meaning behind the color of the fur or what the cat is carrying? This great article goes over the ins and outs of these special kittens!

7. Vintage Japanese

Vintage products from Japan’s time-honored culture are always a big hit with anyone who is into cosplay.

Japanese culture has influenced everything from Star Wars (via Akira Kurosawa) to James Cameron’s massive hit Avatar (via Hayao Miyazaki). Godzilla and Pokemon are direct imports, and anyone can spot the influence of Japanese culture on The Matrix and The Karate Kid.

For any cosplayer who is interested in Japan, two choices stand out as among the best gift ideas. For everyday use, we suggest a gorgeous tea set. With a more ceremonial and dare we say even more dangerous element, consider an authentic custom Katana sword.

8. Wabi Sabi

While the people of Japan don’t speak of this feeling much (there isn’t even an official definition), the essence of Wabi Sabi is found all throughout the culture. From pottery to traditional tea ceremonies, you’ll find Wabi Sabi hiding in the history of it.

The book Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life is a perfect gift for anyone who loves learning about the beautiful culture of Japan.

9. Pagoda Lantern

In Japan, many paths are lined and illuminated with these beautiful lanterns. This wooden pagoda lantern kit is a fun and relaxing way to add a bit of Japanese vibe into your home.

10. Noodles, Noodles, Noodles

Ramen is well known as a staple food for college students but these noodles also known as the soul food of Japan. If you go to Japan, eating their traditional ramen will have to be on your bucket list! But for now, you can just enjoy this quirky Send Noodles shirt until you can go.

Special Nerd-ccasions (nerd + occasions, get it?)

Ok, maybe you have to be REALLY nerdy to find that funny. Well… consider our nerd cred established!

Anyways, here are some cosplay gift ideas for special occasions.

11. Weddings

Add that special touch to your wedding with Elvish rings or these Mario themed cufflinks

12. Valentines

You can DIY your Valentine’s card or you can have a professional draw you and your boo in a personalized super hero comic!!

13. Birthdays

In the game Animal Crossing, floating balloon presents drift across the sky every five minutes for you to shoot down. When you do so, you get whatever is them (rocks, items, materials, money, or recipe cards). Each color represents what may be inside the box.

The floating balloon gifts pictured above are almost as cool: Inside, each one can hold a micro-SD card or Nintendo Switch game. It’s the ultimate way to keep track of all those little things!

14. Christmas Stocking Stuffers

Not only do these Sailor Moon Crystal Star compact mirrors make a great addition to their cosplaying gear (we need to make sure our makeup is on point!), but their size makes the perfect stocking stuffer! Their high quality and very accurate design will make any Sailor Moon fan smile with delight!

Everyone won’t want a bright pink and gold compact mirror in their stocking, we get it! Here are some more cool ideas to help fill up your stockings-

1. Kiki’s Delivery Service: Pin Jiji Cat
2. Boba Milk Tea Candle
3. Pentel Fude Brush Pen
4. Classic Star Wars Mouse Pad
5. Pokémon Air Plant Holders

Maybe the Best Cosplay Gift of All: Join Them!

Can you think of anything better than having someone to share your interests and appreciate the hard work you do in making your hobby come to life?

Seriously, stop and think about it. What are you into? Coin collecting, gardening, football, photography, fishing? Whatever it is, don’t you just love it when someone will ask questions about your hobby, listen with interest, and let you show them how to do it well? And what more do you treasure than inspiring someone to take up the hobby themselves?

Now apply this to your cosplayer. Of course you should still get them a gift. But in addition to that, make it even better by learning about their favorite fandom world and participating in the fun. Read the books or watch the show. Create themed costumes together, then go to a convention with them.

Even if it’s really not your thing, take the time to appreciate their enthusiasm for it. Trust me, you will begin to notice depth where you didn’t see it before! And in doing so, your relationship with your cosplay/geek friend or family member will deepen and flourish.

Stuck on what to cosplay as? We have some pretty cool ideas to help spark your imagination.

1. Gender-Bender!

One fun way to put a twist on cosplay (and fit in with whatever your friend is doing) is to go as the opposite gender version of a favorite character. This could mean dressing up as a female Mario or Luigi, or a male version of Lara Croft.

You could take this idea literal and cosplay the female version of Futurama’s Bender, or you could take a cool twist on a Pokémon trainer like Misty and work those shorts! (can’t leave out her wig!)

2. Be Loud!

Who says cosplay as to just be clothes and a sword? Take it to the next level with cool add-ons like these stilts to become life-size or these fabric lights so you can sparkle just like Cinderella’s ball gown dress (that isn’t just my childhood dream, right?).

Maybe the fantasy part isn’t your thing, but c’mon, creating something big, bold, and magical is fun no matter who you are.

3. Children’s Cosplay

Children LOVE dressing up, they are cosplaying all the time and don’t even know it!! If you have your own little family of Hobbits then cosplaying with costumes like these may lead to a fun family day at your favorite convention.

Older kids can even help out with making the costumes which just adds to the adventure. Sure, watching 12 seasons of Firefly* might bore you to tears, but a fun family activity that you can all do together is surely something you can get behind.

*We wish there were 12 seasons.

4. Cosplaying Pets

Pets are as much as part of the family (if not more for some people) than kids! So why not include them with cute cosplay outfits like this Batman costume or the always favorited Scooby-Doo collar.

Your family pup is especially ideal as a Pokémon character or Lupin/a patronus/Sirius from Harry Potter, but be careful – always treat your pet with respect and don’t overburden them!

If you’re the pet-lover type, this could be a fun way to get involved in the cosplay scene along with someone who is special to you.

5. Think Outside the Box

The most creative cosplays are the ones we don’t expect (but appreciate we were able to see). I’m talking about reality-altering cosplaying, time-freezing to make it look like the wind is at high speeds while inside, and outfits that just make you go “woah… how did they do that?”

If you’re the crafty, creative, or engineering type who takes things apart just to see how they work, then this might appeal to you.

These cosplays definitely call for some creativity and strong crafting skills but cool props, such as these fireballs (which would be perfect for photoshoots) or this gorgeous wing starter kit where you can add on whatever feathers you need to complete the look, can really help make you stand out.

But first, do you want to hear a joke about sodium?

You: Na.

Hmm. Fine then. I had a ton of chemistry jokes but I’m beginning to think they won’t get a good reaction. Oh well….

On to bigger and better things: chemistry gifts for science nerds!

1. Periodic Table Pyrex Dish (+ Meal)

Dinner is on the table!

For a universal gift that everyone loves to give and receive, you can’t go wrong with food. But throw in a chemistry-themed dish to go with it, and you’ve got a winner.

This Pyrex casserole dish comes laser-engraved with the updated periodic table of elements, and also includes a red lid. Besides being oven safe (obviously), it’s also microwave and dishwasher safe.

Pictured above is the 13″ x 9″ dish, so here are 35 delicious casserole recipes just for that size.

With that many recipes to choose from, you’re bound to find one that you’re loved one will enjoy. Also, imagine the look on their face when they finally see the design underneath!

2. Vintage Style Chemist Sign

Here is a really cool gift idea for professionals, chemistry majors, and even chemistry teachers or professors.

This vintage-style chemist sign is constructed of real wood and comes with an optional hanging name plate, which can be personalized with the chemist’s name and more.

Also included is a super-cool resin cast of a beaker. The entire sign is 24″ x 16″, making it an impressive, noticeable addition to an office, lab, or classroom.

3. Caffeine Molecule Necklace

There’s just something unexpectedly elegant about molecular models. Just take a closer look at this gorgeous necklace and you’ll see what we mean.

Here we have a unique piece of jewelry that turns a caffeine molecule into a wearable work of art.

When wearing it, your loved one can simultaneously display their love of coffee (or tea, or soda, or energy drink) and chemistry. This necklace is available in sterling silver or gold finish.

4. Personalized Teacher Name Plate

If you’re looking specifically for chemistry gifts for teachers, this may be your “Aha! That’s the one” moment.

This fun personalized chemistry teacher name plate uses element symbols to spell out the word “teacher.” It will look great on his or her desk… you know it will, and they’ll know it too as soon as they open it!

The name plate also comes with a sawtooth hanger if wall hanging is preferred. It’s a great birthday, Christmas, or end-of-the-school-year gift.

5. Covalence: A Molecule Building Game

Any science teacher, nerd, or professional chemist will enjoy this card and tile game.

In Colalence: A Molecule Building Game, the complexities of organic chemistry hidden within covalent bonding are easily learned through the simple-to-understand game play.

Players work together using clues and chemical elements to “build” molecules, in hopes of successfully matching them to their corresponding molecular structures. Great for high school level and up.

6. Vintage-Style Periodic Table of Elements

The periodic table of elements never looked so good!

This 12″ x 16″ vintage-style poster features the periodic table like you’ve never seen it before, complete with dragons and other fantastical imagery.

But don’t be fooled – even though it may look like a beautiful antique, this brand-new table is up to date. Your loved one will enjoy displaying this great conversation starter in their home or work space.

7. “Women In Science”

From Hypatia to Jane Goodall, Women in Science chronicles the lives and works of 50 different women, from all different eras and backgrounds, whose contributions to math and science are renowned the world over.

Through colorful illustrations and eye-catching text, this book serves to educate and entertain people of all ages on the amazing discoveries of some of the world’s greatest female scientists. Your loved one won’t be able to put it down.

8. Personalized “This Scientist Runs on Caffeine” Tumbler

Here’s the perfect gift for a science nerd who loves coffee!

For starters, this a Polar Camel tumbler, putting it up there quality-wise with the much less economical YETI brand tumblers.

Second, it can be personalized with your scientist’s name. We can even customize the block lettering, so it can say “chemist” or “science teacher” instead of scientist, or “this guy loves [caffeine]” or anything else you like.

Third, it comes double-walled and vacuum-sealed so that their drink, whether hot or cold, can stay that way for hours on end.

And last, it’s also available in several different sizes and colors, so that you can pick the one you know they’ll love the best.

9. Science Flask Earrings

This cute pair of flask earrings would make an excellent surprise for any chemist or chemistry teacher.

Anyone else getting Ms. Frizzle vibes?

Look closely and you’ll even see the miniature mL markings. As opposed to silver-plated counterparts, these earrings are made with sterling silver wire, making them a good option for your loved one if they’re sensitive to certain jewelry metals.

10. Carbon Negative Ground Coffee

Almost everyone enjoys sipping on a cup of coffee in the morning (or two or ten throughout the whole day… but I digress).

This particular brand of organic coffee, Tiny Footprint Coffee, is a fun choice for a chemist or other science-minded person due to the fact that it’s carbon negative.

This sounds like super-science-nerdery, but all it really means is that the company is environmentally-mindful: for every order it gets, it donates a portion of that money to reforestation efforts in South America.

To be honest, this coffee would go great with the caffeine molecule necklace (gift #3 above). Don’t you think?

11. Funny T-Shirt for Science Nerds

When it comes to shopping for chemistry gifts for science nerds, you just can’t go wrong with a funny t-shirt.

Both young and young at heart alike, so long as they appreciate science jokes, will enjoy the humorous message on this one, which says, “Science: It’s like magic, but real.”

This soft cotton t-shirt is available in men’s, women’s, and youth sizes, is machine-washable and also comes in five different colors.

Browse more funny science shirts here.

12. Personalized Best Science Teacher Ever Bird Feeder

The best science teacher ever deserves the best gift ever, and this one just happens to be it!

Okay, a little cheesy… but seriously, if you think about it, a personalized bird feeder really is a great gift idea for the amazing science teacher in your life.

This custom engraved bird feeder, constructed from sturdy cedar wood, is personalized just for your science nerd.

With the customization of your choice engraved on the front acrylic panel, this bird feeder would make an excellent gift for any special day, from graduation to birthday to retirement.

13. Personalized Whiskey Distillery Barrel

A whiskey distillery barrel? Yep! And why not, when the barrel aging process itself is chemistry?

In all actuality, this is one of those gifts that chemists and science nerds can enjoy outside of their profession. This oak wood aging barrel is made from solid oak wood and personalized with your loved one’s name, location, distillery name, and establishment date.

Included in your order is the barrel with metal hoops, bung and spigot… just what your loved one needs to get started brewing and aging their own homemade whiskey.

14. Funny Noble Gases Mug

Here is another cute gift idea for a teacher or someone else you know who enjoys a little science humor every now and then.

This ceramic “Noble Gases” mug, which features all six elements in group 18 of the periodic table, will help your science nerd start their day with a smile and will also be a sweet reminder of you. A win-win!

Bonus: it’s also dishwasher and microwave safe.

15. White Marble Benzene Chemistry Coasters

Check out these stunning chemistry-inspired coasters! (The cocktail spoons are sold separately here.) Each coaster boasts a decoration modeled after the chemical structure of benzene, in your choice of black or gold coloration on solid white marble. Subtle and elegant, yet still unashamedly nerdy!

16. Personalized Leather Messenger Bag

No matter what your science-loving friend or relative does for a living, for a gift that shows off their professional side, you can’t go wrong with this personalized leather messenger bag.

This classy bag is handmade from high-quality buffalo leather that has been distressed for that sought-after worn look.

With enough space to carry a 15″ laptop, this bag includes several other outer and inner compartments along with free personalization of initials.

17. Spa & Wellness Gift Card

With a Spa & Wellness gift card, your loved one will be able to step out of their classroom, office or lab for a while and into their local spa for some much-needed rest and rejuvenation.

Using their website, you can customize and have a gift card mailed, emailed, or printed yourself and given to your loved one in person. Really, when it comes to gift-giving, it just doesn’t get any simpler!

A Spa & Wellness gift card would be great by itself, or serve as a thoughtful accompaniment to pretty much any other gift idea we’ve mentioned so far.

18. for a Teacher: DIY Tea Bag Wreath

Are you more of the do-it-yourself type when it comes to gift-giving? We can understand that, so we’ve found this cool idea that you can consider making for your favorite science teacher. You know they’ll appreciate this gift, because a) it was handmade by their favorite student, and b) who couldn’t use a little healthy, refreshing pick-me-up in the middle of the day?

All you’ll need to make this tea bag wreath is some cardboard, patterned paper, glue, some clothes pins, a ribbon, some tea bags, and the instructions.

This wreath would make a lovely bonus gift to go with the personalized teacher name plate above.

19. Erlenmeyer Flask Drink Tumbler

It’s a drink tumbler shaped like an Erlenmeyer flask. Made from lab-grade high borosilicate glass and cushioned with silicone accents, your chemistry enthusiast friend will never miss an opportunity to show off (and use) his favorite new flask.

20. Adrenaline Molecule Decal

I can easily see this cool decal on a chemist, teacher, or science nerd’s car window or laptop back, can’t you?

It can serve as window or laptop decal (or heck, even phone sticker), and will easily distinguish your loved one for the science or chemistry fanatic they are.

Shaped like an adrenaline molecule, this vinyl decal is waterproof, easily removable and also available in four different sizes. For fun, quirky, and affordable chemistry gifts, this is a great pick.

21. Himalayan Salt Lamp

Himalayan salt lamps have grown in popularity over the years, and not without reason. Emitting a soft glow, salt lamps promote relaxation and are also thought to produce negative ions, which are believed to help keep the surrounding air free from debris that cause allergies and other health-related issues.

But is it science? Is it pseudo-science? Just because science hasn’t fully researched it yet, does that mean it’s not real? Stoke the debate by giving your loved one something else to research right along with this gorgeous lamp.

More Chemistry Gifts

So those are our 21 favorite chemistry gifts for science nerds, teachers and chemists! We hope we were able to help you figure out what to get the science lover in your life, or in the very least provide you with the inspiration you needed to find the perfect gift.

If you’re still struggling with what to get, we suggest thinking “outside the box.” Basically, consider what else your loved one enjoys doing in life outside of chemistry.

Do they like to read, listen to music or watch movies? Do they love the beach? Are they always hosting family get-togethers? Ask yourself questions like these and you’ll open yourself up to a whole new world of gift-giving options.

With that in mind, head on over to Northwest Gifts and take a look around. We have tons of personalized gifts, everything from home bar decor to man cave accessories to tools. Each of these can be customized with a chemistry theme. Plus, they’re great gift ideas that everyone, not just chemists, will love.

Stock their stuffings with some great 1990s toys. You can spend some quality time with your littles, showing them how to properly feed your Tomagotchi pet or throw down that slammer so the pogs flip perfectly every time.

These nostalgic 1990s toys are absolutely perfect stocking stuffers. Share the joy of the nineties with your kids, and regale them with stories of your collection of troll dolls. Or your undefeated season on your Tiger handheld basketball game. Or your record performance on Bop-It.

Yes, 90s toys are the best. Share the love with the little ones in your life.

NOSTALGIC 90S TOYS THAT ARE PERFECT STOCKING STUFFERS

Pogs

Pogs are coming back. I can feel it. The slammers, the cool designs, the big ol’ tubes that totally did **not** signify anything other than how cool you were. My lucky slammer was an 8-ball, simple and classy. As a boy, to me the 90s were Nerf guns, baseball, and pogs.

And marbles. For some reason we got into a retro marbles kick. Going old school was a thing in the 90s too, ya know. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Koosh Balls

Squishy, tactile, sensory-ready little balls of goodness. I’m not even sure what I did with them, but I loved them anyways.

Bop-It Micro

For the full effect, go with the full-size Bop-It game. But if you want it to be a true stocking stuffer (in other words, to actually fit inside), you’ll need to go with the Micro Series Bop-It, which is just as good.

Slap Bracelets

I had a camo one. Oh but it was cool. I also had a shiny neon one that was all reflective. That was also cool. I was cool.

Tomagotchi Pets

We got these for our kids last year. They still cry every time their little pet dies. Or when the batteries die. I love that they are learning great life lessons about disappointment, and – even better – they’re learning these lessons the same way we did back in the 1990s.

Nerf Guns

Ok, I’m just gonna say it: today’s Nerf guns are way better. These little blasters work a million times better than the junk we had. So get these little guys (which work way better than the big ones), stuff them into each kid’s stocking, and laugh as the madness ensues.

Gameboy

Retro gaming is all the rage now. Go back to the first handheld gaming masterpiece to blow their little minds and stuff their little stockings. The iconic 90s toy.

Talkboy

Uh, Home Alone, anyone? If you saw this movie as a kid, you either 1) had a Talkboy or 2) wanted one real real bad. If the 90s had a soundbite, it would be played back on a Talkboy.

Furby

To my mind, this is the 90s toy. I don’t think kids these days will truly understand how weird Furbys are. But you can give them one for Christmas and try to make them understand.

Did you know there were new-style Furbys? If you still want the original old-school weirdos, they still exist!

Cupcake Surprise

It’s a cupcake! It’s a doll! It’s a cupcake again! Hours of fun.

Gak

Slime is all the rage with kids these days. Go back to the original. Still the best, in my wife’s opinion. (Like most adults, I try not to touch the stuff)

Floam

Gak, but dotty and foamy. Floamy. This isn’t the “original” branded Floam, but it’s the same thing. I couldn’t find the Floam brand anywhere, even as an unopened collectible on Ebay. So this will just have to do! (Which is probably a good thing, ‘cuz the original stuff wasn’t that great anyways…)

Connect 4 Mini

I’m not sure why I spent so many hours playing Connect 4, but I did. Something about the upright orientation and the way they all fall out the bottom when you’re done, I guess. It’s a simple game, but still fun. The “mini” version will fit in a stocking, for the full-size version go here.

Etch a Sketch Mini

I was always terrible at drawing with an Etch A Sketch. You see those brilliant drawings on YouTube (I know I saw them as a 90s kid, but since we didn’t have the internet I have no idea where) and think “I could learn to do that.”

No, you can’t.

Teach the kids in your life a little bit about 90s disappointment with the Etch A Sketch Mini to fit in their stockings, or the full-size version for under the Christmas tree.

Yak Bak

Of course any kid’s stupid smartphone will have 25 apps to do this very thing. But that’s what makes it so cool, it’s truly vintage tech. One of the great 90s toys.

Slinky

Can you believe the Slinky has been around since 1945? This is a genuine old-school toy. We played with it as a 90s toy, our parents had it in the 70s, their parents had it in the 50s. Legendary.

Simon

Simon says, press the buttons in the order they light up. That’s it, that’s the whole game. It’s actually a great memory challenge and plenty of fun to boot. We got this for our kids and they love it.

Beanie Babies

The bizarre collectible craze aside, these cute and cuddly bean bag animals were just plain fun. The 1990s version of Beanie Boos.

Handheld electronic games

Ok, this is sort of a catchall, and your mileage may vary. I had a couple of the handheld sports games – baseball and basketball were my favorite, and I think we had soccer too but it was a little boring compared to the other two.

Maybe you had Lights Out, or Wheel of Fortune, or some other almost-forgotten masterpiece. Whatever if was that YOU had, loved, and probably lost, find it on Ebay and stuff some stockings.

Hackey Sack

I used to hack with the best of them. Ok, maybe not the best, maybe I could hack with the most average of them. But it was hours of active, off-the-couch fun from a little sack filled with sand. Not a bad stocking stuffer.

Mad Libs

“Noun.”
“Poop.”
“Verb.”
“Poop. (tee hee hee)”
“Adjective.”
“What’s that again?”
“A word that modifies or describes a noun.”
“Poopy……?”
(Smiles and nods) “Aw yisssss.”

Troll Dolls

Troll dolls! Not sure why, but my parents thought these were evil. Troll dolls and Smurfs, what can I say. Get the vintage trolls from Ebay, not the new overly-cutesy ones from the moderately entertaining but ultimately kinda lame movie.

Related: Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Girls

Rubiks Cube

The Rubiks Cube is a brilliant 90s toy that never went out of style. Actually it was a 70s and then an 80s toy first, and has pretty much only gained in popularity. This is just a great toy, probably because it was never meant to be a toy at all.

Cap Guns

Here’s your go-to non-PC choice.

Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop **click**click** “Dangit!! Out again!”

Be sure to get plenty of cap refills.

Uno

We recently started playing this with our kids again, and they love it. Especially when we play “Brazilian Uno” with new rules as taught to use by our Brazilian friends.

(I’m not convinced that Brazilian Uno is a real thing, pretty sure our friend’s family just made it up. But who cares, the kids are having fun with it.)

Everything is the same in Brazilian Uno but with three new rules:

• If a 0 (zero) is played, the person who played it gets to swap hands with the person of their choice – OR – choose to have everyone rotate hands to the left or right.
• When a 7 is played, everyone must be absolutely silent until another 7 is played.
• With a 9, as soon as it is played everyone must slap the card pile. Last person to slap draws a card.
• At ANY TIME, if you have a card that exactly matches the one on the pile, you can play it. This skips everyone’s turn and play continues as if your turn has just been completed.

Polly Pocket

I never had Polly Pockets growing up (I was into GI Joe and Legos, pretty much) but this is exactly the sort of thing my wife and I get our daughter, and she loves it. No wonder all this stuff is making a comeback… it’s a nostalgic gift from the perspective of the 90s-kid-who-is-now-a-parent, and it’s a fun toy from the perspective of a kid-who-is-still-a-kid.

Pick Up Sticks

Sure, this is more of a little-kid toy, but we all played with it. The best part was fighting debating about what constituted “movement.”

THESE THINGS

Not even sure what they are called… Velcro ball toss? Velcro catch game? Who knows. We all had them, though. The flat paddle “gloves” that never worked right and the colorful neon tennis ball… ah memories.

ViewMaster

The pinnacle of analog low-fi early 90s tech.

Yo-Yos

I think there’s a rule somewhere that every kid has to have one of these at some point in their lives. Make sure the kid in your life doesn’t miss out on the priceless experience of learning but never quite mastering the yo yo.

Tech Decks

What’s cooler than finger skateboards with rad designs? Aside from Jonathan Taylor Thomas, nothing. 

Silly Putty

With all the slime rage these days Silly Putty has made a bit of a resurgence. Maybe it was never out of style. In any case, it makes a great stocking stuffer for the kids in your life.

Stretch Armstrong

A weird stretchy white dude in his undies. What’s not to love?

Marbles

Like I mentioned earlier, I’m not sure if this was a craze for everyone but for about 6 months to a year marbles were in. In bigtime. Cat’s eyes, beach balls, swirlies, shooters… collecting was fun, and playing was even more fun. Rekindle your inner 90s self, get some stocking stuffers for the kids in your life, and get down on the floor with them and shoot some marbles.

Barrel of Monkeys

Everyone has heard of the classic Barrel of Monkeys. But unless you had one back when you were a kid, you may not realize it’s actually a pretty challenging (and fun) game of dexterity and calm nerves.

Z-Botz

These little robot actions figures from Micro Machines (another great 90s toy line) were all the rage for that one year they showed up in Burger King kids meals.

Note I don’t say I’m a history buff, because I forget at least half of what I read. But I’m happy to confess that I really enjoy history, whether it’s reading a biography that could double as a paperweight, watching a costume drama set in a bygone era, or playing a history trivia game.

So I think I might have an inside scoop on some great gift ideas for history enthusiasts if you’re in need of a few suggestions.

History Buff Gift Ideas

Below are 21 gifts for history buffs, which I’ve sorted into several categories. These categories are:

Nerdy History Gifts – These are oddball items such as games, historical inside jokes, and geeky toys for the history enthusiast.

Actual History Gifts – Like, you know, books and stuff from the past.

Back-in-the-Day Gifts – These are old-fashioned items that a history buff would appreciate, loving (as they often do) everything that is more difficult than driving down to the store and just buying the darn thing.

Pop History Gifts – Films, miniseries and other history-related things from pop culture that may be of interest to the history buff – if only to pick them apart for their inaccuracies and conflations.

Oh, and if none of these floats your boat, we’ll end with a fun trick to find the perfect history gift in 7 easy steps.

So here you go: 21 History Buff Gift Ideas, by a self-professing history geek.

Nerdy History Gifts

Let’s start off with a few geeky history buff gift ideas to add a spark of fun to your gift-giving. These are perfect when you’re just simply too tired to give the history buff in your life yet another 600-page tome.

(However, speaking from experience, we can’t get enough of those 600-pagers. So keep giving them to us.)

1. History Buff T-Shirt

It might be sad but then again it might also be true. But you won’t be sad when you see how much the history buff in your life loves this shirt.

Probably the only shirt I would like more than this is the Clever Girl Jurassic Park t-shirt. I know, random.

2. If Anyone Khan, Genghis Khan Coffee Mug

You don’t really have to know much about Genghis Khan to think this Genghis Khan Coffee Mug is funny. But the more you know, the funnier it gets.

3. Marie Antoinette T-Shirt

You know the quote. Of course, she really didn’t say it. But this t-shirt is still a great gift for your history buff.

4. Historical Finger Puppets

Finger puppet versions of Edgar Allan Poe, Rosie the Riveter, Freddie Mercury, and many more at The Unemployed Philosopher’s Guild.

5. Axis and Allies 1942 – 2nd Edition

There are many popular and oft-played variations of Axis & Allies including Europe, 1941, and even Axis & Allies Zombie Edition.

But you won’t go wrong with the 1942 Second Edition, which is probably the consensus favorite among those who care.

Other fun history-related board games:

• 7 Wonders – A mega-hit (as far as board games go), in which you are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the ancient world. Build your city and army, gather resources, expand trade routes, and cap it off by constructing on of the ancient wonders of the world.
• Agricola – This is a favorite in our house. Not history per se, but the game pits you as an old-world farmer trying to sow and harvest crops, bake bread, manage your flocks and – slowly – expand your tiny shack into a livable cottage. But the seasons pass quickly, and your family must be fed. Will you have enough resources to last the winter?
• Timeline Card Game – This looks like a fun stocking stuffer. I haven’t played this one, but it comes highly reviewed. The game is played by arranging each card – which has an historical event on it – in the correct order on the timeline.

Actual History Gifts

OK so here are the “actual” history gift ideas.

As in, like, books.

(And one non-book bonus, which is really, really cool….)

These are the ones I can personally recommend as top-notch, so hopefully this will provide a good starter list for you.

I’m sure you can find tons more based on the specific interests of the history buff in your life, but you certainly can’t go wrong with any of these.

The past couple years I’ve been reading biographies of American presidents and their contemporaries, so that’s what will be featured heavily below. Each book is highly readable and presents a fascinating story from the past – nothing dull or dry here!

6. Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

With all the Hamilton fanfare these days, you may be interested in the book that inspired it all.

Alexander Hamliton by Ron Chernow is a richly detailed portrait of a complex and endlessly energetic immigrant who vaulted into positions of incredible influence during the formation of the United States.

An enjoyable and fascinating read.

7. John Adams by David McCullough

A contemporary classic of the biography genre, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and inspiration for the hit TV miniseries.

John Adams by David McCullough is written with brilliance and understatement in a way that lets the words of Adams and his contemporaries shine through. An all-time favorite by one of the most popular and critically acclaimed historians of our day.

McCullough’s work is highly recommended by all, so you can’t go wrong with any of his books. I’ve read several of his books, and each has been incredible.

8. Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin

Probably my favorite historical work of all time. (Update 3/18/20 – yep, still my fav. History just doesn’t get much more fascinating and entertaining than this.)

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin weaves together the stories of Abraham Lincoln and the powerful members of his cabinet: William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, and Edward Bates. Each of the four men were in the running for the Republican nomination for President, and Goodwin balances their stories perfectly and with captivating prose.

Get this along with a copy of Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln (which was based on a section of this book) for a fun book and movie history gift combo.

OK, two more shout-outs then we’ll move away from Presidents and Founding Fathers: A Country of Vast Designs: James K. Polk, the Mexican War and the Conquest of the American Continent, and Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President. These two books about slightly less well-known Presidents read like a breeze while painting brilliant pictures of each man and his times.

I highly recommend both books. These are great gifts for the history buff who likes reading something a little more obscure than the “big boys” of history.

9. The Devil in the White City

Here’s the full title: The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson. It’s an engrossing story that alternates between the intricate planning of Daniel H. Burnham, the architect in charge of designing and building the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and H.H. Holmes, one of the first modern serial killers. Each time the scene changes, you’re left wanting more.

Get it ahead of the upcoming TV series, which has been rumored to star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Erik Larson is a gifted writer. Any book he has written will make a good choice:

• Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania
• In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin
• Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

10. In the Heart of the Sea

While it doesn’t quite compare to the American literature classic Moby Dick (nothing does, IMO), this true-life yarn tells the events that inspired Melville’s iconic novel. In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick tells the story of the sinking of the whaleship Essex.

I didn’t know much about the original story before picking this up, so I don’t want to spoil it for you, but I will say that there is much more to this book than the famous battle between whale and ship.

Read it yourself, or give it to someone who loves history, and this book will not only engage the reader but provide plenty of surprises as well.

Once you’ve read the book, you can then check out the movie version, which is pretty good.

Bonus: History By Mail

This is a brilliant gift idea for any history enthusiast.

History By Mail is a subscription service that will, once a month, send your history buff a reproduction of an actual historical document along with a mini-history lesson on the background behind the document.

For reals.

To give you an idea, let me tell you about one I got.

I received a gorgeous reproduction of a letter that Annie Oakley wrote (on one of her own advertising playbills, no less) to President McKinley at the onset of the Spanish-American war.

Now, why was she writing to the President? I’ll tell you.

She was writing to offer her services, along with “a company of fifty lady sharpshooters” to serve in the war effort.

Can you picture that?

A gung-ho, super-famous, anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better Annie Freaking Oakley and 50 of her BFFs, volunteering to go to war exactly fifty years before women were allowed in the military.

Awesome.

It came with a transcript (Annie’s writin’ was kinda hard to read) and a 2-page historical background about the Spanish-American War with a mini-biography of Annie Oakley.

I’m telling you, this is a great gift for a history buff. Get it here.

Back-in-the-Day Gifts

Here we have some old-world items that hearken back to days gone by. Many people who are interested in history are also interested in the way things were way back when.

11. Home Brewing & Distilling Equipment

It was common for people to make and age their own beer, wine, and spirits. From George Washington’s commercial distillery up to the present with Barack Obama’s White House Honey Porter, a vast number of historical figures have participated in home brewing, home distilling, or winemaking in some way.

So help your history buff connect with his or her favorite historical figures by getting them in the game. Try an authentic custom engraved oak aging barrel, which includes a personalized label etched onto the barrel head along with a charred interior, oak wood stand, spigot and bung, and complete instructions.

Many additional designs are available like the Bourbon Still, above, and the popular Whiskey Distillery Label. Others include Vineyard Grapes, Scotch Whiskey with Bagpipes, or a “Build Your Own” design.

Or you could go all the way with an actual moonshine still kit, a craft brew making kit, or a wine making kit. Any of these can then be aged in an oak aging barrel so that the history buff in your life can develop their own label suited to their tastes.

12. Personalized Vaudeville Signs

There are plenty of old-school signs and posters out there, but these ones are super cool because you can personalize them.

Made in the USA from furniture-grade wood and customized per order, there are several themes including the Quack Science plaque pictured above, a vintage Boxing Marquee Fight of the Century sign that allows you to personalize the names of the champion and challenger, and Wine Bar & Tasting Room edition.

13. Knitting Kit

It’s a picturesque scene: In the olden days, the family sits by the fire and the ladies knit and the men whittle, while someone reads a book or sings songs.

Try this modern take on a time-honored tradition: the Learn to Knit Kit, which includes instructional book, needles, and yarn.

14. Bullet Making Kit

Some people knit, others make bullets. You can get the knitting kit for a guy history buff, and I know plenty of women who would be interested in this bullet making kit.

15. Aviator Hat

Old fashioned yet still hip. Get the history buff in your life a daring Aviator Hat with Goggles.

For the ultimate in aviator-themed history buff gift ideas, wrap it in tandem with a copy of Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, which tells the story of billionaire, recluse, and Spruce Goose creator Howard Hughes.

16. Personalized Cigar Humidor

A long, slow smoke on a quality cigar inexplicably connects one with the past. The history buff in your life will sure appreciate this premium old-fashioned Personalized Cigar Humidor, which includes a Spanish cedar lined interior, hygrometer, and humidifier.

More personalized cigar humidors are available here.

17. Train Depot Sign

If your history geek has an old-fashioned den, man cave, home bar, or study, you won’t go wrong with an old-fashioned personalized plaque.

Here are some of the themes, all of which can be personalized:

• Train Depot
• Antiques & Oddities Shoppe
• Barber Shop
• Apothecary
• …and more!

18. Old Books by Historical Figures

Many of the major players in history have written books. Influential works like these are an important part of history.

Martin Luther King Jr. had many essays and speeches that are still impactful today.

Teddy Roosevelt was a best-selling author in his day, and his telling of the story of the Rough Riders (with himself as the star, of course) is far more entertaining than many of the dusty books about the same subject.

Julius Caesar pretty much wrote his own history.

And the spiritual memoirs – The Confessions – of the famous theologian and philosopher St. Augustine are still read popularly to this day.

If you can find an old, antique copy of one of these types of books, or even an autographed original, it will be an heirloom gift treasured by any history enthusiast.

Pop History Gifts

Here are some more trendy, pop-culture gifts for the history buff. These might even be enjoyed by the non-history enthusiast!

19. Hamilton Soundtrack & More

Nothing is more popular in the history realm these days than Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton. If you can get tickets to the show, by all accounts you should. If you can’t, here are the next best things:

• Hamilton Soundtrack – The music from the show. (See here for the edited version)
• Hamilton: The Revolution – The story of the creation of the musical, with commentary and notes by the author and a noted theater critic.
• Hamilton Adult Coloring Book – Just like it sounds, the two most popular crazes for adults rolled into one.

20. The Men Who Built America

Produced by the History Channel, this miniseries is part documentary, part dramatic reenactment and manages to enthrall viewers of all types and stripes.

The Men Who Built America presents the economic expansion and industrialization of America through the lives of Henry Ford, John Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, and Cornelius Vanderbuilt. Fast paced and beautifully filmed, this is a great gift idea for a history buff.

21. John Adams

Paul Giamatti absolutely nails John Adams in this epic miniseries. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and buy this for your history buff friend, then binge the whole thing together.

What Do You Give to a History Buff?

So… are you still unsure? Here’s a simple process to help you find the perfect gift.

History enthusiasts are known for liking obscure things. We read obscure things, know random facts about obscure things, joke about obscure things in obscure ways, and generally enjoy being obscure.

So how do you find the most perfectly obscure gift for a history lover? You want something that they won’t roll their eyes at (e.g., most of those coffee-table books always on sale at Barnes & Noble) or that they’ve already read (every David McCullough book ever).

Almost inevitably, any history lover gift you find will be overdone, like jokes about Henry VIII’s wives.

Trust me, everyone knows about Henry VIII’s wives.

We’re going to bypass this whole conundrum with an easy history lover gift idea generator that you can do right now. It just takes a few minutes of research, which I’ll show you how to do in seven simple steps.

Step One

Go to OnThisDay.com.

Step Two

Search the calendar for the day before (or two days before, or the day after, etc.) your history buff’s birthday. I’ll explain why later. For instance, I put in May 16th, the day before my wife‘s birthday.

Step Three

Choose a special and unique event.

For my chosen date, May 16th, two events sounded like they had interesting possibilities: In 1763, Samuel Johnson and future biographer Thomas Boswell met for the first time, and in 1770 Marie Antoinette married future king Louis XVI of France.

Since my wife is, as you might suspect, a woman, I’m leaning toward the event involving Marie Antoinette.

Step Four

Go to your favorite online bookstore.

Step Five

Type the subject of your fun history fact into the search bar. For instance, “Marie Antoinette.”

Step Six

Choose one of the highest-rated book, perhaps the one that sounds the most interesting to you.

Take a few minutes and really read some reviews. There are thousands of fascinating, well-written, yet little-known history books out there waiting to be discovered. There are also plenty of boringly dry books, too.

(Despite what you may think about us history nerds, we don’t love dry, old books just because they’re dry and old. We like books that other people find dry, but we find fascinating. The books you’ll be looking at in this step will have been read by other history lovers, so you should be able to quickly see whether a book is dry and boring even to a history lover.)

So it will be worth it to dig in a little and find the right book. People who have actually read the book will let you know pretty quickly.

BTW, here is what I would pick for my interesting and fashionable wife.

Step Seven

Buy it, then give it to your friend/spouse/family member/etc on the day of your fun history fact. You can celebrate together the little-observed and obscure holiday “Marie Antoinette’s Anniversary Day!”

(Come up with your own fun holiday title.)

Of course you could choose an event that happened on your history buff’s birthday, but I’m betting that, as with all my nerdy friends, they already know the main events that happened on their birthday.

Plus, they’ll love the idea of you inventing a nerdy holiday in their honor. Trust me, they’ll remember it each year.

The history buff’s internal monologue goes something like this: “My birthday is tomorrow… which means that today is Al Capone Indictment Day! That really was a good book that my spouse got me a few years back…”

So stick with a day or two off. This is especially handy for late presents!
