Whether they are a David Tennant stan, believe Matt Smith is the best Doctor ever, adore Jodie Whitaker, are still obsessed with Peter Capaldi or rightfully think that Ncuti Gatwa slays as the Fifteenth Doctor, there are so many awesome Doctor Who gifts to give to the Whovian in your life.
The Eleventh Doctor once famously said, “Everything’s got to end sometime. Otherwise, nothing would ever get started.” To help you celebrate all of those new things just getting started, like a new candle going on top of the birthday cake, a wedding, graduation or a year-end holiday celebration, we’ve traveled through time and space to find the best Doctor Who gifts to give in 2024, from a Tardis-shaped cookie jar for them to store their Jammie Dodgers in to an amazing Doctor Who Fluxx card game with ever-changing rules involving various incarnations of the Doctor.
Here are the most unique gifts for a Doctor Who fan, but we’ve also got you covered with the best Dungeon & Dragons gifts, gifts for Swifties, and the coolest gifts for all types of anime fans
Few things in pop culture are older than Doctor Who, but Yahtzee dates it by almost a decade! The two beloved traditions combine in this gorgeous 60th Anniversary Collectible TARDIS edition of the game featuring Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels, along with quantum-locked scoring.
The Doctor Who lover in your life doesn’t necessarily need to know that the Fourth Doctor was played by Tom Baker for 172 episodes from 1974 to 1981 to fall in love with this gorgeous BBC-licensed scarf. But let’s be honest, they will absolutely know all of that and will wear this handsome Doctor Who gift every single day.
The out-of-sync story arc of River Song spans time and space in a way that’s wholly unique to the show. Within the 200 pages of this pretty, embossed replica River Song journal, every Whovian will have the space to write down their own story over time.
This blue TARDIS plastic police box cookie jar with lights and sounds is a must-have for any Doctor Who fan because it’s the perfect place to safely store their Jammie Dodgers British biscuits, or homemade Dalek-shaped cookies.
Funny and fast-paced, this brilliantly designed card game with fluid rules that fluctuate will have you and your fellow Doctor Who fans joining various incarnations of the Doctor for fun game nights at home or while traveling.
With built-in sensors, this 4-inch-tall desktop Dalek will detect what’s in front of it and steer clear of edges too, allowing it to patrol any flat surface for hours without bumping into anything. As it turns, it’ll say, “Exterminate!” (But don’t worry, that feature can be silenced.)
For the fan who enjoys a nice cuppa while watching Doctor Who, this ceramic mug comes with a lid to keep beverages hot. And maybe consider getting the TARDIS tea kettle to go with it?
'Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse'
Doctor Who has been on air for more than 60 years, making it the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV show. There are many universes worth of heroes, Time Lords and monsters to catalog and remember. This massive Ultimate Guide is more than 300 pages detailing every era, gadget, spaceship, robot, and of course, all the incarnations of Doctor. It’s a must-own for any hardcore Whovian!
Why trust a regular cube to cool down your drinks when you can get a Dalek to do it? (Or a TARDIS, as the case may be.) These are made of silicone, so the ice should just pop out, and they can also be used as candy molds.
Every DW fan knows that Gallifrey is the planet of Time Lords, the civilization to which the Doctor belongs. And most Whovians will also know that the complex Gallifreyan language was actually created by a fan, and while it is not a canonical part of the show, this simply beautiful necklace, with "I Love You" written in Gallifreyan, is a Doctor Who gift that’ll make any fan swoon.
With illuminated windows and a top lamp that glows while materializing, this TARDIS wireless Bluetooth speaker will stylishly play any Whovian’s tunes — including Doctor Who theme songs and Jack and Rose’s favorite, Glenn Miller’s "Moonlight Serenade” — inside their home, on the patio or by the pool.

As the Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith said, “Bowties are cool” and he’s right! So we think your Doctor Who fans will love this replica red bowtie to complete their cosplay fit.
Not only is this wooden puzzle of the iconic TARDIS police box on a foggy street stunning to look at, but it comes in three sizes — 300, 500 or 1000 pieces — meaning that no matter how much space and time a Whovian has, this Doctor Who puzzle makes a perfect gift.
Everyone has their favorite, but we love Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor and his cool Sonic Screwdriver. Whovians will yell “Geronimo" when they open this intricately designed prop Doctor Who gift with authentic green lights, sound effects and claw.
According to the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, "Nothing is protected like money.” To ensure this is true, give your Doctor Who fan their very own Van Gogh-inspired TARDIS bi-fold wallet to safely store the cash they get out with their sonic screwdriver…or with their ATM card!
Does the Doctor Who fan in your life also play Magic: The Gathering? If so, this deck will let them bring their favorite Whouniverse characters, villains, and adventures to life with 50 Magic cards never seen before featuring art and game mechanics inspired by Doctor Who.
This bright, bold and colorful TARDIS knapsack with a magnetic fastener is perfect for school, a day trip, as a diaper bag, and traveling for years through time and space.
To the layperson, this just looks like a t-shirt with a rainbow-stripe design, but true heads will recognize it as the one worn by the Thirteenth Doctor, aka Jodie Whittaker. It comes in black, navy and gray.
Just as in the episodes when there are two Doctors at one time, this Doctor Who gift doubles the fun! There’s a cool 3D LED desktop light with a remote control to change colors, plus a small TARDIS bedroom night light, too, each shaped like the iconic police box.
Originally appearing in 1966, the Cybermen are a race of cyborgs that have been a part of the popular, long-running sci-fi show ever since. They’ve undergone numerous redesigns and went through many costume alterations over time and now, in this Cyberman 3D laser-cut model kit, they get a clean and shiny silver look. The Doctor Who fan in your life gets to assemble this head on their own, no glue or soldering needed.
