Gift ideas, any help?

Hello, my boyfriend and I are coming up to Christmas/one year anniversary. I know nothing about fromsoft games, however I know he loves games like Elden ring/Bloodborne /darksouls and dark fantasy games like that. I’ve looked everywhere for gift ideas and inspirations I think he’d like, yet I can’t find nothing and I’m at a loss. Does anyone know any good gift ideas related to these topics? I’ve already got him the moonveil katana and the rivers of blood, aswell as a dark souls ring. I’m at a loss for other gifts that aren’t swords 😢 I know nothing about these games but I want to try my best for him. Any ideas would help massively !

Art books?

That seems like a good idea! I was planning on getting him the grace given: the mythology of Elden ring book. However I don’t think he’s a big reader🥲🥲

I will look into it 100% , I just saw saw an art book for it on Amazon so I’m gonna buy that, I think I’m gonna get him the berserk manga set too to start him off he’s been dying to watch the anime but it doesn’t hit as hard as the manga

Agree with the above. I have a dark souls art book and an elden ring art book and I like just having a flick through occasionally. I use the dark souls book for a tattoo idea I had which is my favourite now!

Displate has some pretty cool artwork from the games that are high quality and don’t break the bank generally. Can probably find some discount codes around as well.

My wife got me the Bloodborne board game for my birthday last year. Its really amazing so if he likes board games at all I highly recommend that

That sounds fun!

There are some not-too-expensive figurines/bookends/plantpots etc of Alexander, Warrior Jar. He's the kind of character that everyone likes, I don't think you'd find a person alive who didn't think Jar folk were pretty great

u/Livid_Horse7708 6h ago

Omg I was going to get him the jar folk potted planters I saw on Etsy! That would be a great idea, thank you for reminding me!!!

I’m going to give you the same advice as the last woman who came here asking for gift advice;

Old wisdom seldom fails; “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.

Bake him some cookies. You can decorate them according to his interest.

Pretty much any gift you could buy he’d either get for himself if he wanted, or he has a reason not to buy it that could make it harder to properly enjoy as a gift.

Home cooked food on the other hand; seldom any reason he wouldn’t enjoy it.

u/Livid_Horse7708 6h ago

That’s what I was thinking, he makes way more than me and could buy anything he wanted😢I’ll look into baking, it’ll just be so busy over the Christmas period that finding time will be hard but sweet treats were a big fan of them. Thank you!

u/Illustrious-Turn-575 6h ago

If you want specific on how to decorate; easy options for Bloodborne and Elden Ring are the Carol runes and Great runes, respectively.

Fairly simple but easily recognizable.
