13 'Game Of Thrones' Gifts That Are Almost As Good As Getting A Pet Direwolf

Game of Thrones is currently on an extra-long hiatus between Seasons 6 and 7, thanks to the fact that winter has finally come, which doesn't really jive with its usual shooting schedule and customary spring premiere date. So it's the perfect time to charm the Game of Thrones fan in your life with clever gear, gadgets, and games based on the A Song of Ice and Fire series. It'll both rekindle their excitement for Season 7 and help tide them over until the premiere comes. These Game of Thrones gifts cover a wide range of price points and interests, from cute and crafty presents to some truly amazing bathroom decor (stick around to the end for that one).

A quick "Game of Thrones" search on sites like Amazon, Etsy, ThinkGeek, and similar online outlets produces a wealth of kitschy, crafty, and even useful GoTs-themed gifts. So feel free to go on a hunt of your own using these for inspiration, or just snag one of the gifts below. In many cases, you can even personalize by House loyalty.
