The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide For The Whovian In Your Life..(PART ONE)



Merry Christmas everyone and to all my Jewish friends and blog guests (especially Geoff and Viv.) Happy Hunnakah!
We've (and by we I mean just me, Mike.) have spent hours trawling through the internet for holiday gifts to please any Whovian or your plain old garden variety fans. Whether it's for you Mum, Dad, brother, sister or assorted friends you're sure to find something to both please and delight the Doctor Who fan in your life.
Because Destination Gallifrey is an international site, I've tried my best to include merchandisers and retailers from around the world, if you see something that is from a country other than your own, please do contact the store/manufacturer. You are more than likely to discover that these stores have international shipping whilst others have overseas branches, at the very least you'll be able to make a note of what you like and learn whether it's available where you live.
Got your paper and pen ready? Good. Without any further ado, here is Destination Gallifrey's 2014 gift guide.

TARDIS TREATS.

The TARDIS has become such an iconic symbol that the term 'bigger on the inside' has fallen into common language. Here are some of the best TARDIS mechandise on the market.
gifts for the Whovian foodie:

Who wouldn't be happy with the ultimate fan biscuit barrel/cookie jar. Great talking point and shows the TARDIS in all its glory.
Available from Forbidden Planet Amazon UK and Amazon U.S.A.


Give your boring old dinner some of the TARDIS treatment with these nifty salt and pepper shakers or you could just keep them as part of your Dr Who collection.
Available from: Amazon UK and Amazon USA.


Here's the ultimate in bottle openers, it actually makes a dematerialisation sound when you use it. Available from the abovementioned reatailers.
Here's an exquisite coffe or tea mug with a keep warm lid, I think it would make an ideal pencil and pen caddy for your desk
Please visit Forbidden Planet to check out this mug and also the the other fantastic mugs they offer, even "toby Jug" style one in the shape of each Doctor.

Other Whovian Homewares.

How about sleeping with the Doctor, metaphorically speaking of course. This TARDIS duvet (for we Aussies AKA doona cover) make a great gift and very practical too.

Here's just the thing for your afternoon cuppa a TARDIS teaset for one.
