If you're an older geek like me, you have quite the collection of figures, decor, dice, and miniatures. Here's some gift ideas for the geek in your life who has everything (but not these!).

I have a weakness for these storage boxes. I just love them. This one has a knight on it which makes me love it even more. It's 9 inches long, by 5.5 inches wide, by 1.5 inches deep. It's an attractive deep blue color with gold filigree and a repeating cross-shaped pattern on the spine. Mind, this is not a huge box, but as an attractive means of storage in plain sight, it works nicely.
Sphinx and griffin figurines abound, but a hieracosphinx is rare. This one is quite handsome, and has a lot of common with Aelian's description of griffins (it's not perfect, but blue on a griffin at all is rare).
"I have heard that the Indian animal the Grupa (Gryphon, Griffin) is a quadruped like a lion; that it has claws of enormous strength and that they resemble those of a lion. Men commonly report that it is winged and that the feathers along its back are black, and those on its front are red, while the actual wings are neither but are white. And Ktesias (Ctesias) records that its neck is variegated with feathers of a dark blue; that it has a beak like an eagle's, and a head too, just as artists portray it in pictures and sculpture."
I'm always on the lookout for fun props from my players in my Dungeons & Dragons game, and I particularly enjoy this one, which can double as a teaching tool as well as a prop. I'm not sure which culture will use sign language in my campaign world yet, but I plan to give it to a player as a means of "translating" on the fly.
I don't play Elden Ring, but I do love fantasy-style flower pots and this guy is perfect. The light is just one of those little LEDs -- it changes colors, but the idea is you don't look straight down into it so you can't see the light. If you do, it sort of ruins the effect, so you'll want to place this a little higher up out of the viewer's line of sight. It also requires assembly to put the arms on.
If you've got gamers (GMs or players) who are fans of loathsome aberrations from beyond and an overwhelming sense of paranoia and dread, but you couldn't get enough people together to play, this latest tribute to the infamous movie will keep everyone occupied for a few hours.
