Just about everyone has someone in their life that is a fantasy fan. Whether it's Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, comic books, anime, vampires, Harry Potter, World Of Warcraft or whatever, these people tend to be difficult to buy for. Here are some tips for buying the perfect gift for the fantasy fan in your life.

Collectibles

are a great gift for the fantasy fan. If they are a fan of anime, get them a limited edition animation cel of their favorite series. If they are a Lord Of The Rings fan, there's a huge amount of limited edition collectibles available for this series, including action figures, toys, weapons, jewelry, games, cards, replicas, art and sculptures. Similar to the Lord Of The Rings series, Harry Potter fans have a massive amount of collectibles to choose from. Whatever series, show, movie or book your recipient is crazy about, rest assured that there are many choices for a collectible gift that will put a smile on their face.

Comic Books

Is your husband a fan of Spiderman, Ironman or some other comic book series? Consider getting them one of the more rare or vintage issues of their favorite series. Not only will this gift make any comic book fan happy, but this is a gift that will hold and increase its value over time.

Video Games

The video game aisles are stacked with fantasy related titles, from the popular Final Fantasy series to the many roleplaying games set in fantasy worlds. For a fan of certain video game series, there are gift options like a gift certificate for 1 year of World Of Warcraft. Or perhaps you have a Zelda fan in your midst? Consider getting them the special Nintendo DS Lite Gold Edition which includes the Zelda Phantom Hourglass game for the DS.

DVD's

If someone is a Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek or Harry Potter fan, they more than likely already have the entire set of movies on DVD. However, they may not have the series on Blu-ray or perhaps they don't have the latest and greatest collector's edition of the DVD.

Costumes

Dressing up as your favorite fantasy character can be fun for parties or Halloween. Few anime fans wouldn't like to dress up as their favorite character. Do they have a thing for Inuyasha? Perhaps Naruto? There are complete costumes available that will make your fantasy fan very happy. eBay is a great place to look for these.

Weapons and Accessories

Sometimes it's just nice to have a cool accessory or weapon to show off your love of fantasy. If your fantasy fan is a lover of samurai movies, Lord Of The Rings, Robin Hood or Halo, then they might be happy to have a real katana, medieval sword or a replica Dragonball Z sword.

Art

From statues to sculptures to artistic renderings to lithographs, there are art pieces available for many TV series, movies, books and games.

Music

Maybe your fantasy fan already has the complete series of this or that, but do they have soundtrack? Soundtracks for Japanese anime series in particular may be hard to find, a good place to look for these is eBay.
