It has become fairly easy to purchase gifts for fans of the great Tolkien epic, “Lord of the Rings”, because the continuing popularity of the stories has prompted manufacturers everywhere to flood the market with all kinds of Lord Of The Ring gifts. You can see gifts for Lord of the Rings fans in quite a few gift shops, and some shops are even exclusively devoted to selling rings-inspired gifts.
It has also helped that there have been six major motion pictures themed on the creatures and their adventures in Middle Earth. On top of that, Middle Earth has been revived again by the new series on Prime Video entitled “Lord of the Rings – the Rings of Power”, which depicts events happening several thousand years prior to the original tales.
Suffice to say, that when you go shopping for your Rings fan, you won’t have any trouble finding some excellent Rings gift ideas. We have described some popular Rings gifts below, and this can get you started about thinking in that gift-giving mode. Without further ado then, here are our selections for most intriguing Rings presents.

At the bottom of the clock, you can see the Fellowship of the Ring companions mounted on horseback, continuing their critical task of attempting to destroy the evil Ring. The characters and scenery are all shown in black, with a lighter relief color in the background.
This wall clock has actually been constructed using a real vinyl LP record, 12″ in diameter. It only requires a single AA battery for operation, so it’ll be easy to keep it running indefinitely.

Prancing Pony Beer Mug
This unique beer mug is a terrific souvenir from the first of the three LOTR movies, and your Rings fan will love it. The Prancing Pony is, of course, the inn established by the affable Barliman Butterbur in the town of Bree, the first stop made by the four traveling hobbits on their journey. At this inn, the hobbits met up with Aragorn, who guided them through the first half of their journey, while the Fellowship was still intact and together.
Decorative LOTR Bookends
These bookends will make a great addition to your LOTR fan’s bookshelf or desktop.

Made of sturdy steel alloy, these bookends will provide years of service while also showing off your friend’s dedication to the beloved story of the Hobbits’ quest. This gift will literally light up the personal space once your Rings fan has them in place.
Daily Meals Menu for Hobbits
What could be more charming than the daily meals listing for hobbits? Hobbits are known to have a love for food and drink, and this menu proves it.
First described by Merry in Fellowship of the Ring, this listing of the several meals enjoyed by hobbits is proof enough that the little people truly love their food and can’t go for very long between meals. While humans might get pretty stuffed after eating breakfast, second breakfast,
Elevensies, and luncheon, it appears to suit a hobbit just fine. A novelty gift that is hard to find, this 11” x 14” poster will make a perfect addition to your youngster’s bedroom wall, or even on your kitchen wall if you need to remember the hobbit meal schedule.
LOTR Horn of Gondor
Made of cast resin, and equipped with a shoulder strap, this is an authentic replica of the Horn of Gondor depicted in the Fellowship of the Ring. The horn itself is 19” long and the shoulder strap is a full 62” in length.
The horn also comes with a polystone wall display featuring the Tree of Gondor motif. Buyers will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its compliance with all known details about the Horn of Gondor.
LOTR Bamboo Cutting Board
If your LOTR fan happens to be handy in the kitchen, he/she will love the LOTR Bamboo Cutting Board, which is an 8.5″ x 11″ board made of sturdy bamboo, and is suitable for all kinds of cutting, slicing, and dicing. Every time you prepare a meal, you’ll be reminded of the Fellowship since the characters appear at the bottom of the board.
Clearly depicted are Gandalf the Grey, leading the Fellowship, the four hobbits, Boromir, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli, the Dwarf.
Gandalf the Grey Illuminating Staff

The One Ring
No gift compilation about LOTR would be complete without the possibility of buying The One Ring to rule them all – the greatest of the Rings of Power. This will make a fantastic addition to any collection of artifacts or souvenirs that your Rings fan already has. This ring comes with its own chain, so it can easily be worn around the neck at all times, and can be used whenever you need to make yourself invisible. It is inscribed with writing in the Black Language of Mordor, the source of all evil in Middle Earth.
LOTR Tree of Life leather journal
This is a handsome, hand-made leather journal with the Tree of Life design etched into its outer cover. Your Rings fan can use this as a diary, or as a journal for maintaining dates and reminders of upcoming appointments. Made with 100% goat leather, the journal includes 120 pages that can be used to record whatever is important to your Rings fan. Since it’s also very compact, it can be taken anywhere and used easily for sketching, writing, or note-taking.
The Shards of Narsil Wall Sword
In the LOTR story, Narsil was a legendary sword wielded in the battle of another age against the Dark Lord Sauron, and in the time of LOTR, the sword had to be re-forged for another great battle. The broken base of the sword can be purchased as a wonderful reminder of the renewed battle against evil, and mounted on any wall in your home for prominent display. It is made of a high-quality resin, and is thus safe for handling by anyone in your household.
In size, it’s 11.61″ x 6.1″, so it won’t take up the whole wall, wherever you choose to mount it. For anyone familiar with the beloved story of the Lord of the Rings, this will make a fantastic gift, and one that you just don’t see in shops and stores. The handle is painted black, and the remainder of the sword has the appearance of real steel.
