10 November 2025
It’s the most wonderful time of the RPG year as we’re sliding into November with our third, yes, our third annual Holiday Gift Guide. Gamers – start your online shopping engines!
Before we unwrap our favorite TTRPG gift suggestions for 2025, we would be remiss if we didn’t remind everyone of our previous present picks. They’re still great suggestions, just keep in mind that the earlier referenced prices have naturally increased a bit due to the Chaotic Evil nature of today’s tariffs.
So, if there’s something on either of those two DnD holiday articles that you couldn’t get in time previously, you could always add them to this year’s RPG shopping list.
Also, an important note on our selection criteria. We only recommend DnD holiday gifts that you can physically purchase. There were some tremendous Kickstarters in 2025, but as y’all know, nearly all those projects won’t ship until next year. So, products like One Shot Wonders or World’s Largest Dungeon will likely make their appearance next season when we actually have them in hand.
Loctite Super Glue Gel ($3.64-ish): Hear us out! Often, 3D printing hobbyists have to glue their FDM or Resin pieces in some fashion before they can hit the game table. The type of adhesive really matters. Trust us, we’ve tried countless brands. None of them holds a candle to Loctite’s Super Glue Gel. Getting that pesky stuff on your hands is less likely, and the gel consistency means it goes on easier with just the right amount of drying time. Put a couple of bottles of this magic sauce in a Christmas stocking and you’ll be a hero.
MyMiniFactory.com and Patreon.com Subscriptions ($5 to $15): Always a classic pick, but now it’s even easier to gift them to family and friends. MMF now has a dedicated gift card page, while Patreon claims it’s also easy; however, we haven’t had much luck following their steps yet. Therefore, you may need to opt for the simpler MMF method.
Still, here are our current favs:
We’re still amazed that Kickstarter or Backerkit don’t offer gift cards, but they’ll eventually hire a Marketing VP who realizes what a missed opportunity that is.
Viridian Random Generator Dice ($6-ish): They’ve come out with a few new ones this year-ish, including their Severe Weather Acts of God Generator die and their Dungeon Room Generator die. Dice of any kind are always a swell in those stockings!
Push Pop Bubble Fidget ($6.99-ish): YouTuber Miniature Hobbyist introduced us to this marvelous painting aid contraption. Paint lasts longer and is way easier to clean when you add several drops of your favorite paint into this dishwasher-safe contraption. They even come in different sizes. Add this along with a few of your pals’ favorite paint color bottles, and you’re golden.
Calendar of Many Adventures 2026 Edition ($14.99 & $19.99): Oh, LokeBattleMats, you so get us. Your annual DnD RPG Calendar brings us immense joy, which also includes digital versions of every monthly adventure. Even better, show those special gamers in your life that you get them by doing the little things like specialized DnD wrapping paper. This premium gift wrap, featuring a stunning dungeon design, even includes a digital version of the underground map, as well as eight different gift tags. And if all that RPG holiday goodness wasn’t enough, this talented crew always has a fresh Kickstarter under their belts like Epic RPG Fails, Extra Insulting Insults & Even Dumber Dares!
DnD Movable Jointed Chain Ruler ($18.99-ish or 3D Print Your Own): We prefer gridded terrain and mats, but sometimes you just can’t avoid gridless, especially if you’re a Dwarven Forge Terrain Tray enthusiast (like us). These flexible distance markers by DolDols.com are incredibly handy. You can even print your own for free, thanks to Designs by Davyd and his Flexi D&D Ruler.
Deck of Encounters & Deck of Loot ($22-ish): Longtime 3DRPG readers know we are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs for any and all things card decks. To us, they’re the perfect gaming aid, immersing players in your DnD game. Tome of Summoning had a dandy Kickstarter, and their physical products hit mailboxes and stores in 2025. Grab their Deck of Encounters or Loot Decks as a gift of appreciation for that DM in your life.
Game Envy Popup Rinse Cup & Magical Sinking Brush Scrubby ($24-ish): This is the paint accessory of the year for us!! We use this setup every single weekend. We found this one at the Game on Expo 2025, and it saved the day as the booths were surprisingly slim pickings. We didn’t even realize that these were two separate pieces ($12 each), as the delightful couple we bought it from had it as a set. So, you can just get the super handy pop-up rinse cup or the brush scrubby piece. We think they work wonderfully together, though, and make the perfect stocking stuffer!
Lynx RPG Condition Rings ($37.95): Our beloved 3D printing hobby offers numerous intangible benefits, and choice is one of our favorites. You can certainly 3D-print these condition markers, but sometimes there’s just not enough time (and filament) in the day. So, if you want some irresistibly squishy and high-quality condition rings out of the box, this is the set to get.
Dungeon Master Rules Mat for 5e DnD 2024 Rules Edition ($38): Total Party Chill continues their magic with this incredibly handy Neoprene game aid. Last year, we recommended the player version, and this year they released a delightful DM version. There is no better way to familiarize yourself with the new D&D rule updates than with these beauties. You can get the mats in three sizes and multiple colors. And if you want another fine DnD stocking stuffer, grab these gorgeous Old School D&D Dice for a mere $9-ish and pay homage to your gaming roots! Bring it all home with some great DnD vids on their YouTube channel, which make for great entertainment while you paint all your 3D prints.
D&D Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set ($40-ish): It turns out the last rules release is more of a 5.5 than a radical shift, and to us, that’s a good thing. We’ve bought a lot of WotC starter sets over the years, and this one obliterates all the past versions. The set is insanely well done and stuffed with a slew of physical gaming aids (so the appeal for veteran players is there, too). If you’re looking to get a quick game going with some brand new players, this box set is a must.
D&D Adventuring Gear Potions Set ($46-ish): By now, we’re sure you’ve seen all those fun Potion of Healing bottle sets but who says it just has to be about hit points?! Etsy extraordinaire Aurora Athenaeum knows what we’re talking about, and they’ve crafted all sorts of fun potions to pass out at your game table, including Potion of Heroism, Potions of Resistance, and, of course, the classic Adventuring Gear collection! Get a couple of single bottles as a classic stocking stuffer, or grab the full sets like we did! Their quality of work and care is exceptional.
Green Stuff World Dipping Inks ($137-ish): We’re probably late to the party on this one, but these Dipping Inks are our top pick for 2025. Just as good as Army Painter Speedpaints (which we still love) and more affordable than Citadel Contrast Paints (which we still use), these particular paints by Green Stuff World are amazing. We especially love their range of wood colors and consider Skeletal Brown (with a dark wash) to be the standout. Grab the whole series or just pick up a few bottles of your favorite colors!
Reading Material: DM Ben always does a big book sweep so that he has plenty of great DnD books to read on a beach in the Caribbean. So here are some great editions going in his suitcase!
DM Ben might get overruled by the airport scale for the amazing Game Master Series hardcover books, but they are all extremely well done, and any one of them would make a great gift for that Dungeon Master in your life.
And just like that, you’ve got all the latest DnD RPG wish list items for those special gamers in your life!
