Star Wars Hamper for 27 year old male

Cherry24

Hi,

I've decided to create a Star Wars hamper for my OH for Christmas.

I am already buying him the Jedi bathrobe that you can purchase from a few of the online gadget stores. I am having a few issues though. I want the bathrobe to be the most expensive item as it is £49.99 and I want to get a lot more smaller items that are cheaper - up to £20.

I have looked around and I would like more adult items (not toys etc) and am not sure what else to get him. I need inspiration to be honest. So if anyone has bought or knows of any Star Wars products that fit the bill, I would really appreciate your input.

Many Thanks

Do you have a local model shop? There's one near us that often has Star Wars bits in the window. They're like figures on a base and stand maybe 6 to 12 inches high? They sometimes have stuff as low as £20.

On the other side of things, I think the keyring light sabres are cool.
But I think the "chubbies" that someone linked to are a bit naff.

Obviously depends on what sort of stuff he's in to.

Don't know how much you know about the Star Wars Universe, but there is a Dark Side and a Light Side (aka baddies and goodies). Personally I would way prefer Light Side characters (e.g. Jedi) over Dark Side but I know others who would go for the opposite. E.g. I wouldn't carry that Darth Vader keyring that was linked to, but if it was an Obi-Wan one then I'd be well chuffed. Some people, of course, would be perfectly happy with either, but might be best to check before you shell out lots of money.

I got a lovely Star Wars chess set from WH Smiths a few years ago. The Monopoly sets are cool, too. They also do Risk. Just depends on what you're in to.

Is he into the "Expanded Universe"? That's the stuff outside of the main 6 films. If he hasn't got any of the books then I would claim that the best ones to start with are Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrawn_trilogy.
You can often get them in charity shops.

27 years old. (Quite young for an adult Star Wars fan, isn't it?) That means he was born in the year Return of the Jedi came out. Don't know if there's anything you could do to tie that in.

Don't know how much you like the films or not, but if you're not that keen (but can tollerate them) why not put in a "voucher" for you to watch the Star Wars film of his choice together?

Or see if the 501st Legion (google them!) is doing anything local to you that you could take him to?

We found a shop in Cardiff called "Red 5". Don't know if they've got stores elsewhere. He'd appreciate just a carrier bag from there, I'm sure! But they had an R2-D2 projector clock which was quite cool. I'm sure you can get them elsewhere.


Will have a ponder about other stuff. If you want opinions on anything you find then just ask...

My Oh is 24 a huge Star Wars fan! Have you checked on ebay? A couple of christmas's ago I won a vintage star wars pencil tin (ie from 80s) and an original pencil topper too. He was thrilled with these as they were from the original movies and cost me pennies! Also got the full set of Star Wars tazos for pennies, which he loved as he remember collecting them but never got the full lot. There is all sorts of Star Wars stuff like mugs, glassses, tshirts, stationary, figures, posters etc I think I have bought every type of things over the years hahaha

Best thing to do is chat to him about it and find out his fav film and fav characters, without making him realise why obviously, and then have a search on ebay
