Don't roll the dice when gifting for the dungeon crawler you know. Take a peek at our magic scroll full of great D&D gift ideas!
The original fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons is more popular now than ever before! Since pioneering the TTRPG genre in 1974, D&D (or “DnD”) has continued to attract and retain millions players across the globe with its magical worlds full of adventure and deceptively simple gameplay, turning ordinary people into swashbuckling heroes that fight monsters and save the day.
Though it’s possible to play with just a pen, some paper, dice, and a few friends, most Dungeons & Dragons players don’t stop there: rulebooks, spellbooks, adventure books, monster manuals, miniature figurines, high-quality polyhedral dice, elaborate game boards, and suitably dungeon- and dragon-themed accessories and decor - which makes for plenty of great gift ideas for the game-runner or dungeon-crawler you know!
Whether they’re a new arrival to the Sword Coast (or Icewind Dale [or Eberron]) or a 20th-level veteran adventurer, there’s plenty you can do to show the D&D fan you know that you care. That’s why our biggest D&D nerds and RPG geeks here at Giftwrap put together this gift guide! From starter sets for new players to customized character minis for their favorite heroes, here are 36 D&D gift ideas sure to spice up their next session!

Acrylic and round-edged, these dice are very sturdy and roll easily, making them a perfect gift for new players or novice Dungeon Masters!
Antique Copper and Iron Sharp-Edged Metal Dice Set
Heavy dice for serious consequences.

Their sharp edges mean they’re quicker to stop rolling, making them ideal for smaller playing surfaces and more enthusiastic rollers.
Bloodstained Sharp-Edged Metal Dice Set
It's fake blood. (We think. We don't make these things.)
Is plain old metal not metal enough for them? Get them even grimmer, darker dice with another high-quality set from Haxtec! These blood-splattered baubles are sure to catch the eye of players who prefer some of Dungeons & Dragon’s harsher stories and settings, as well as DMs who might like a separate set of dice for their gorier rolls!
This massive zinc-alloy metal die is bigger than a golf ball and weighs almost a pound! With its surprising heft, unusual size, rough iron look, and inlaid black numbering, this hundred-sided die is menacing enough before you hear it roll - and then it’s downright frightening. Dramatic DMs looking to add flair to their next big roll will love it!
Dungeoning in the dark? Sounds like a great way to get... dragoned. These LED dice will light their party’s path during their next gaming session and add a glowing ambiance to dim basements and other fittingly shadowy play settings.

Some Dungeons & Dragons players like to roll their dice into a shallow dish-like mat in order to keep their dice from rolling wildly astray. This handmade leather tray is for them - or anyone who’s never tried it and might like to! Its flat-folding, button-up design makes it easy to transport and set up, and it actually looks pretty sharp organizing watches, keys, and other small objects too.

This roll-up mat features a zip pocket that can fit up to 14 polyhedral dice and two snap closure flaps for secure transport.
Rolling dice over and over and over over the course of a lengthy gaming session can get annoying and even uncomfortable.

Are dice towers just not exciting enough for them? Maybe a dice-shooting crossbow will do the trick! This medieval toy shoots dice a surprising distance and includes a curved target to aim “rolls” at, making it a hilarious unique gift that fits right in with D&D’s medieval fantasy setting.
If they’ve played D&D more than - oh, once or so - they’ve probably muttered a curse over at least one dice roll. Let them give that misbehaving die the punishment it so richly deserves with this miniature dunce cap and time-out chair! Maybe that stubborn d12 will roll more nicely after it’s had a chance to think about what it did.
Miniature Figurines & Minis
While it’s possible to play Dungeons & Dragons without miniature figurines (also called “minis”) to represent players and other characters, it’s a lot more fun to use them. Start a friend’s mini collection or upgrade a DM with a wider selection with a this Lost Mine of Phandelver starter set! This bulk mini bundle includes 148 3D-printed miniatures ranging from wolves, spiders, and owlbears to dragons, trolls, and liches, and is perfect for pairing with the official Starter Set included below!
If they’ve been playing D&D a while, they’ve likely developed favorites among the characters they’ve played - and while their true appearance may have been partially based off whatever miniature was available to represent them, no mass-produced minifig could ever capture every detail of their unique original character. A gift card to Hero Forge gives them the chance to bring their character to life, offering an online interface that makes it easy for anyone to order a custom-made mini in the likeness of their own original character design. They’ll love having a one-of-a-kind mini that looks just like their favorite character!
Add some variety to their campaigning with a Dungeon in a Box subscription for your favorite Dungeon Master! Each box comes with a 24+-page book of monsters, tables, and encounters that can be played as one-shots or part of an ongoing Adventure Arc, as well as two extra-large adventure maps, terrain tiles, 3D terrain pieces, two sculpted 3D minis, two “Skinny” 2D minis, and digital access to all content and bonuses to add a veritable trove of adventuring supplies to their hoard with every delivery!
Want more choices? Another option is the Dungeon Crate subscription box, a longer-running service that includes a wider variety of items including enamel pins, iron-on patches, limited-edition creations by small makers in the tabletop gaming space, and metal coins as well as quests, terrain, miniatures, dice, and the usual fare. They’ll love having more D&D stuff to look forward to every month!
If they’ve got plenty of all the basics and just need more miniatures, Mythforged’s subscription box is a high-value solution that’ll add four high-resolution 3D-printed minis to their collection each month.

Basic Gameplay Materials
Notebook paper, gridded or otherwise, just won’t cut it for bigger encounters on larger maps. Forged Dice Co is back at it again with a reusable dry-erase game mat with both square and hex grid patterns that even comes with a set of terrain features like trees and pathways that cling in place. This every-level staple belongs in every D&D player’s kit - because you never know just how deep down that dungeon you’ll have to go.
Get anyone started on their tabletop role-playing journey with the official Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set! Suitable to get four to six people playing, it includes a 64-page adventure book, 32-page starter rulebook, 5 pre-made characters for quick-start play, and a full set of polyhedral DnD dice. “The Lost Mine of Phandelver” is a well-regarded adventure and a great way to introduce new players to D&D, leads players right into the core rulebooks for intermediate play, and is perfectly complemented by the bulk miniatures we suggested above!
The Player’s Handbook is the first of the three core rulebooks (the others being the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Master’s Guide) and perhaps the most important. Every D&D player should have read the Player’s Handbook in full at least once to properly understand the basics of Dungeons & Dragons, so if you know a new player, they’ll appreciate you helping to get them up to speed!
Reusable Character Sheet
Some people can draw one up from memory. They shouldn't have to.
Just like paper maps, paper character sheets can prove inadequate under certain circumstances. This set of three acrylic dry-erase reusable character sheets is a clear (literally) upgrade, making it easy to keep track of combat vitals, equipment, and spells and abilities without using so much paper. The eco-friendly adventurer in your life will thank you!
Dungeon Master's Screen
Hide their schemes from the world until it's too late to stop them.
Every Dungeon Master needs a screen - they can’t have all those pesky players peeking at their plans! But somehow, screens seem to fall by the wayside when it’s time to purchase new playing peripherals - whether miniatures, dice, or terrain pieces, they tend to come before a new screen. That makes a quality screen a great gift for the Dungeon Master you know who deserves better! This handmade wooden DM screen comes in a gorgeous walnut stain finish, featuring one of five intricate engraving choices and a personalization option to make a truly unique gift for your favorite Dungeon Master!
