Gifts for Doctor Who Fans

Doctor Who: The Secret Lives of Monsters, by Justin Richards
It was only a matter of time before someone blew the lid on UNIT and Torchwood and brought to life all the top secret information they’ve collated on the grisly and ghastly (and maybe sometimes cuddly *cough*  Adipose *cough*) alien species out in the multiverse and here among us. The time is now, and the someone is Richards. In the guise of an exposé of classified files, Richards takes you through the various extraterrestrials and straight-up monsters the Doctor and his collaborators have run across over the years, and offers up some interesting bits of trivia.

Doctor Who: The Vault, by Marcus Hearn
Everyone’s favorite Time Lord celebrated his 50th year on Earth television screens last year, and it was a time of much reminiscing about a half-century of production and the eleven actors who’ve stepped into his revolving shoes. In that spirit, Doctor Who: The Vault relives the journey in pseudo-scrapbook form, with photos, memos, letters, scripts, interviews (including with the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith), and more. It’s the compendium every companion-in-waiting needs as they wait for the sound of their ticket out of town.

Doctor Who: A History of the Universe in 100 Objects, by Steve Tribe and James Goss
Two seasoned Who authors have come together to compile a delightfully thorough encyclopedia of Doctor Who. Having such a compendium of objects and factoids handy proves supremely useful when settling bets between exacting fans, or when you can’t remember specific details about the inner workings of the Teselecta. There is so much compressed data within these pages, it might take all of the Doctor’s 2,000-and-change years to finish it.

Doctor Who Postcards From Time and Space
One hundred postcards from the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who to line walls, bookshelves, cubicles, and all other places we don’t need to necessarily know about. There is also the possibility of co-opting them into an offshoot, square game of pogs. It’s up to your discretion, but the bottom line is, they make a wonderful gift.

Twelve’s Sonic Screwdriver Replica
Every Doctor has his signature look, with the accessories to match. Like the iPhone, even a trusty sonic screwdriver must get refreshed with each regeneration. Here’s your chance to own a detailed replica of Twelve’s ever-useful tool, featuring touch-activated sounds and lights.

Captain Jack’s Vortex Manipulator & Mini Tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver
For those reluctant to bid farewell to the Doctor’s earlier incarnations, there is also this set of replica props from the David Tennant era, including Captain Jack’s time-bending vortex manipulator and the Tenth Doctor’s sleek, slimmer sonic screwdriver.

Talking TARDIS Cookie Jar
We can all agree that nothing would be better than a jar of tasty treats that was bigger on the inside. Even if this one does conform to the laws of our boring Earth physics, it makes that great TARDIS sound when the lid is opened, complete with flashing lights.

TARDIS Throw Blanket
Keep warm on an icy night on Ood (or just snuggle up on the couch to watch the Twelve’s latest escapades) with this comfy throw blanket. At 50” by 89”, it will keep you and a companion warm.
