A festive Gift Guide for Dinosaur Lovers
Derek and Irene have decided to do a very important quest, to help you find the perfect gifts for the dinosaur enthusiasts in your life,
Unfortunately trying to get them to decide on the right gift is proving a problem
Whether you’re shopping for a bookworm, a tabletop adventurer or someone who never grew out of their dinosaur phase, here are five ideas from Mini Geek Boutique, with a little help from our prehistoric gift experts.
For the person who love to read
Just one more chapter Magnetic Bookmark, featuring Irene the Parasaurolophus, this magnetic dinosaur bookmark is a little gift for someone whose bedside book pile keeps growing. Tuck it inside a book for a thoughtful pairing, or give it on its own as a small surprise for your favourite reader.
Irene says: "I think these are the perfect gift for a book lover, save your pages without folding the page, which is, quite frankly, devastating to any book."
"I DID IT THE ONE TIME!" Derek says.
For the dinosaur enthusiast who loves tabletop games
The DnDinos six-sticker bundle brings dinosaurs and role-playing adventures together. It’s a playful choice for a friend who spends their evenings planning quests, creating characters and hoping their next dice roll goes to plan.
“Every adventure needs supplies,” says Irene.
“A map? A compass? Emergency biscuits?” Derek asks excitedly.
“I was thinking pencils. And just remember,” says Irene, “a pencil case is not a biscuit tin.”
“Not with that attitude,” says Derek.
The ‘It’s Time for Shenanigans!’ dinosaur hoodie is for someone who likes their clothes with a little personality. With children’s and adult sizes in the range, it’s an option for little dinosaur enthusiasts and grown-up geeks alike.
“I’ve found something for people who are always ready for shenanigans,” says Derek.
“Should I be worried?”
“Probably.”
For the dinosaur fan who loves art
A Dinosaur Artwork A4 print makes a lovely choice for someone who enjoys bringing their interests into their home. Think of a reading corner, a creative workspace or that little patch of wall waiting for something cheerful.
"This art print would look lovely in my reading corner" Says Irene
Derek furiously takes notes about gifts for Irene.
"Would you want a nice frame for it Irene?" Derek asks.
"Of course!" Irene answers, "it deserves to be shown off."
Choosing the right present
You don’t have to find the biggest present to choose something thoughtful. Start with what your dinosaur enthusiast loves doing, whether that’s reading, drawing, gaming or heading out for everyday adventures, and find a little prehistoric company to go with it.
“So, which one’s your favourite?” asks Irene.
Derek thinks for a moment.
“Who are we buying for again?”
“Someone else, Derek.”
“Oh. We may need to start again.”
