My Precious List: Gifts Every Lord of the Rings Fan Needs

“They can keep their heaven,” George R.R. Martin once wrote. “When I die, I’d sooner go to Middle-earth.”
It’s a sentiment many of us share. J.R.R. Tolkien’s invented world feels so real, it’s hard to believe it isn’t. Fortunately, though, we can still visit it any time we want by picking up one of the wonderful books, films, gifts, and toys below, sure to please Hobbit fans of any stripe.

For the Diehard Fan

You have these friends: the ones who read The Lord of The Rings every year like clockwork. Who can point out exactly which appendices Peter Jackson was drawing from when he extended The Hobbit into three films. Who are VERY PASSIONATE about Tom Bombadil. For these fans, you’re going to need to go all out.
