Gift filter: Nephew Edition

November 11, 2022 8:53 AM

I need to get on the ball and get presents for my nephews before we meet u p at Thanksgiving. One (10 yo) is in to D&D related things and stories and the Second (12 yo) likes drawing and legos. Main consideration is that we are driving so nothing terribly large.

A few ideas. One practical one, which is if you are going to have to order the presents online, you can have them delivered to your nephews' address (maybe under your name so they know not to open the packages yet?).

Gift ideas.

Expand the RPG possibilities with games like Burning Wheel or Fall of Magic (there's a $20 digital only version if you prefer). Links go to reviews btw.

Expand LEGO possibilities with the LEGO architecture book (this was a big hit with the kid and the parents in my experience). There are tons of other books that use LEGOs creatively.

There are so many kinds of cool styles of D&D dice available. Small, and pretty low chance of picking an exact style he already has.

For the 13yo: Prismacolor pencils, a small sketchpad

For the 10yo: dice, a dice bag, or a playbook from D and D Beyond.
