Pricing mentioned reflects rates at the time of publication and may change. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
Custom & Creative Gifts
Custom Dice Box
Overview: A handcrafted or engraved storage box for dice, often customized with a name, sigil, or campaign motif.
Recommendation: Etsy Dice Boxes — typically $25–$50 USD depending on materials.
Why: Players and DMs often accumulate several dice sets over time. A high‑quality, personalized dice box is a meaningful keepsake that can carry multiple sets and live on the table for years.
Personal note: At the end of our first campaign, one of our players gifted everyone a personalized dice box we still use six years later.
Custom Merch
Overview: Personalized items, stickers, shirts, mugs, or patches, that celebrate a character, party, or campaign moment.
Recommendation: StickerMule — or Custom Ink — small batches under $30 USD.
Why: A simple way to commemorate your group’s adventures. If your party has a logo, team/adventuring‑party name, or emblem, these turn shared memories into tangible keepsakes that are genuinely fun to hand out.
Personal note: Sites like StickerMule often run promos (e.g., 10 stickers for $1). We’ve also used Custom Ink for shirts and apparel. Our group has made campaign stickers/shirts for every long‑form game.
Voice Changer Software
Overview: Desktop software (PC/Mac) for real time voice modulation that routes through a virtual microphone, so it works with Discord, VTT chat, and streaming tools.
Recommendation: Voicemod (free version available; paid upgrades optional).
Why: Enhances immersion with dynamic voices. One click transforms you into a dragon, goblin, or celestial being.
3D Printer
Overview: A desktop 3D printer (with filament or resin) that produces miniatures, terrain, and tabletop accessories.
Recommendation: Anycubic Kobra 2 — gateway option (typically $170–$280 USD); or Bambu A1 — gateway/plug‑and‑play (often $280–$400 USD depending on bundles and sales).
Budget guidance: a spool of filament often costs $20–$30 and covers several prints; specialty tools and materials scale with usage.
Why: 3D printers are pricier gifts, but for a crafty tinkerer who’ll use it regularly, they’re a fantastic long-term investment and a fun hobby. Perfect for minis, terrain, organizers, and custom table accessories.
Personal note: I’ve printed custom stands for each campaign’s minis, often with the campaign name or a unique logo—great keepsakes on the shelf between sessions.
Miniatures, Dice & Table Gear
Custom Miniature
Overview: A 3D printed or digital model of your character, made to match their in game look, pose, and gear.
Recommendation: HeroForge — pricing guidance: 3D digital files from ~$8; common color plastic prints around ~$40.
Why: Brings your character to life at the table. Highly customizable and display-worthy beyond gameplay.
Personal note: I’ve printed a custom mini for each of my characters in long‑form campaigns—each one is a memento of the story and the role I played.
Dice Tower + Drink Coozie Combo
Overview: A tabletop accessory that merges a dice rolling tower with a can holder or drink coozie, blending function and flair.
Recommendation: Dice Tower Can Koozie — ~$16 USD on Etsy.
Why: Keeps rolls contained, stabilizes your drink, and saves table space by combining two accessories into one.
Bonus Tip: You can 3D‑print one yourself using STL files from sites like Thingiverse, but expect to spend time calibrating filament, supports, and roll quality.
Digital Tools & Immersion
Pro GM Service Gift Card
Overview: A Professional Game Master (Pro GM) is someone you can hire to run sessions, one shots or campaigns, with full storytelling, setup, and prep handled for you.
Recommendation: Arcane Circle — pricing varies by session (commonly around $50 per player per session).
Why: Removes the friction of finding a group or scheduling a DM. Pick your game, time, and GM, then drop straight into play — ideal for busy adults or testing new characters.
Virtual Tabletop (VTT) License
Overview: A Virtual Tabletop is the online environment where players see maps, move tokens, roll dice, and track combat or exploration digitally.
Recommendation: Foundry VTT — one-time license, $50 USD.
Why: Owning a Foundry license unlocks full map building, dynamic lighting, and hundreds of community-made modules. It is the backbone of modern online play and does not require ongoing subscriptions.
Automated Note-Taker
Overview: Archivist AI, an automated campaign note platform for tabletop RPGs. It records, summarises, and organises your sessions so GMs and players spend less time logging prep and more time playing.
Recommendation: Archivist AI - (three month gift packages start around US$30, instant delivery or schedule for a specific date).
Why: Keeps every campaign organized and recallable across long arcs. Works great for in‑person or online games and saves GMs and players hours of manual note‑taking and recap writing.
Every group has different needs, but the best gifts make play smoother, deeper, or more memorable. Whether you’re shopping for a GM who lives in prep spreadsheets or a player who collects every shiny d20, these picks deliver lasting value instead of clutter. Treat it as a wish list built by people who actually run and play weekly.
