'Doctor Who' River Song Replica Journal
The out-of-sync story arc of River Song spans time and space in a way that’s wholly unique to the show. Within the 200 pages of this pretty, embossed replica River Song journal, every Whovian will have the space to write down their own story over time.
TARDIS Cookie Jar
This blue TARDIS plastic police box cookie jar with lights and sounds is a must-have for any Doctor Who fan because it’s the perfect place to safely store their Jammie Dodgers British biscuits, or homemade Dalek-shaped cookies.
'Doctor Who' Fluxx Card Game
Funny and fast-paced, this brilliantly designed card game with fluid rules that fluctuate will have you and your fellow Doctor Who fans joining various incarnations of the Doctor for fun game nights at home or while traveling.
Desktop Patrol Dalek
With built-in sensors, this 4-inch-tall desktop Dalek will detect what’s in front of it and steer clear of edges too, allowing it to patrol any flat surface for hours without bumping into anything. As it turns, it’ll say, “Exterminate!” (But don’t worry, that feature can be silenced.)
TARDIS Ceramic Mug
For the fan who enjoys a nice cuppa while watching Doctor Who, this ceramic mug comes with a lid to keep beverages hot. And maybe consider getting the TARDIS tea kettle to go with it?

'Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse'
Doctor Who has been on air for more than 60 years, making it the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV show. There are many universes worth of heroes, Time Lords and monsters to catalog and remember. This massive Ultimate Guide is more than 300 pages detailing every era, gadget, spaceship, robot, and of course, all the incarnations of Doctor. It’s a must-own for any hardcore Whovian!
'Doctor Who' Ice Cube Trays
Why trust a regular cube to cool down your drinks when you can get a Dalek to do it? (Or a TARDIS, as the case may be.) These are made of silicone, so the ice should just pop out, and they can also be used as candy molds.
"I Love You" Gallifreyan Necklace
Every DW fan knows that Gallifrey is the planet of Time Lords, the civilization to which the Doctor belongs. And most Whovians will also know that the complex Gallifreyan language was actually created by a fan, and while it is not a canonical part of the show, this simply beautiful necklace, with "I Love You" written in Gallifreyan, is a Doctor Who gift that’ll make any fan swoon.
TARDIS Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
With illuminated windows and a top lamp that glows while materializing, this TARDIS wireless Bluetooth speaker will stylishly play any Whovian’s tunes — including Doctor Who theme songs and Jack and Rose’s favorite, Glenn Miller’s "Moonlight Serenade” — inside their home, on the patio or by the pool.

Eleventh Doctor Sonic Screwdriver
Everyone has their favorite, but we love Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor and his cool Sonic Screwdriver. Whovians will yell “Geronimo" when they open this intricately designed prop Doctor Who gift with authentic green lights, sound effects and claw.
Exploding TARDIS Wallet
According to the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, "Nothing is protected like money.” To ensure this is true, give your Doctor Who fan their very own Van Gogh-inspired TARDIS bi-fold wallet to safely store the cash they get out with their sonic screwdriver…or with their ATM card!
