Chances are if you're reading this post, you're a fan of
World of Warcraft, but are you a big enough fan to ask for some Azeroth-themed gifts over the holidays?
Merchandising has absolutely exploded over the past year. Sure, all the usuals are there. You can find most of the basic shirts, hats, and other accessories on the
Blizzard Store (as well as more esoteric ephemera like the
Pandaren Brewmaster figure and a Murloc plush doll), but what about all the 3rd party stuff?
Jinx has a litany of exclusive apparel to purchase (though some of it can also be found at your local Hot Topic store), including several new items for the Holiday '09 period.
Then there's good old
FigurePrints. What better way to immortalize your or a loved one's favorite
WoW toon than ordering a highly-detailed statuette for the holidays?
Adult gamers would no doubt enjoy a
professionally-made beer stein for loading up some eggnog on Christmas Day, or they could save it for a week later and put it to good use for New Year's Eve!
And that's really just the tip of the iceberg. You can find
Warcraft-related calendars, gaming mice, action figures, posters, authenticators, trading cards, miniatures, boardgames, novels, comics, and hell, even the game itself!
It's too late to order most of this stuff, of course, but if you or someone you know is looking for a last minute gift for a
WoW player, might I recommend
a code for one of the deluxe in-game vanity pets? Maybe something for a distant
Warcraft-playing SO or to show a little bit of appreciation to your guild leader for putting up with so much crap the rest of the year?
This year, all I've requested is
this fancy Horde wallet (depicted above). Geeky, I know, but my old one's busted and this one seems like a suitable replacement (not to mention a convenient way of wordlessly displaying my faction of choice to anyone who might recognize the symbol on the front!)
We here at Project Lore would also like to know if you're planning on giving or receiving any related gifts this holiday season. At the very least, did you
ask for anything or is it just far too dorky and embarrassing to have under the tree?
