10 ACOTAR Gifts for Fantasy Book Gift Ideas (2024)

If you’re looking for a Christmas gift idea for a booklover, you’ve come to the right place! Well, if that bookworm is as obsessed with the A Court of Thorns and Roses series as I am right now. This list of ACOTAR merch may or may not be a huge hint to any of my friends and family who are struggling to buy me Christmas gifts! So if you’re just a Booktok girlie who wants ACOTAR gifts for Christmas, send this list to your loved ones too, or maybe just leave it open on their phone or computer – hopefully they’ll take the hint!

This ACOTAR gift list should also help with bookish Secret Santa gifts! If you’re taking part in an office Secret Santa and have noticed your partner curled up with a romantasy on their lunch break, I’d say you’ve got a 95% chance these will be a successful book-themed gift for them! (Another hint from me here, this time to the my Bronco office pals!)

For the uninitiated, A Court of Thorns and Roses is the first in a best selling series of romantasy (read: romantic fantasy) novels by author Sarah J Maas. There are currently five books, but it’s usually just referred to as the ACOTAR series. It’s touted as an excellent intro to fantasy by a number booktokers on TikTok – make that thousands actually – and I can personally vouch for that!

A lot of these ACOTAR gift ideas have come from Etsy, which makes sense as that’s a super easy place to source unique finds like these. For more Christmas gift ideas for booklovers who aren’t necessarily as into ACOTAR as the rest of us (who are you?!), Etsy’s holiday hub is a great place to start!

So without further ado, let’s dive into this ACOTAR gift guide! We’ve got something to suit everyone, from candles and cups to cute ornaments and clothes.

ACOTAR Christmas Gift Guide

1. Tamlin Candle – £13

Not only is this candle hilarious but it’s also really pretty in its amber glass jar. It definitely wouldn’t look out of place on a bookshelf surrounded by greenery or on a coffee table alongside a pile of books. It also has me intrigued with its description of a “gorgeous, mystery scent inspired by ACOTAR”!

Under £15 makes it a perfect Secret Santa gift!

2. Velaris Starlight 40oz Tumber – £33.74

If you eat, sleep and dream of the Court of Night and Velaris, why not drink of it too? These tumblers are beautifully decorated with emblems of from ACOTAR, including the iconic “To the stars who listen, and the dreams that are answered” quote.

These are currently reduced by 25% until Christmas Eve – they’re usually £44.99!

3. Night Court Bookmark – £3.95

These Velaris bookmarks at £3.95 each or £6.50 for a pair make an excellent stocking filler gift. They can come with or without the tassle, and you’ve got the choice of the classic City of Starlight illustrations or the “stars who listen” quote.

4. ACOTAR iPhone Case – £26

If you want to give the gift of taking their ACOTAR obsession everywhere they go (because we all know that we ACOTAR fans can’t stop talking about it no matter where we are anyway!), this phone case is the answer. I personally love the little jokes in there – Chapter 55 and Wingspan Matters – if you know, you know!

5. Illyrian Baby ACOTAR Briefs – £19.80

If you’re looking for an ACOTAR gift for your partner, this is a good shout – even if you have no idea about the reference, she most certainly will. Just trust me on this one, she’ll love a reference to the Bat Boys!

6. ACOTAR Wax Melt Snap Bars – £2.99

If you ever wondered what Cassian, the House of Wind or, ahem, The Cabin smelled like, you need wonder no more! That’s Sweet Honey and Tobacco, Champagne and Bubble Bath, and Sweet Fig, Meadow Lily and Cotton Musk respectively apparently! There are plenty more of these ACOTAR inspired wax melts to choose from, and at £2.99 each, you maybe don’t even need to choose!

7. ACOTAR Stained Glass Bookmark – £8.31

Okay, I am genuinely obsessed with this! There were a number of stained glass suncatchers on Etsy that could easily have made this list, but this is not only stained glass, but it’s also a bookmark – incredible! Not only that, but they have a selection of choices including the Night Court, Dawn Court, Autumn Court and all the rest. So whether it’s Rhys’ homeland, Thesan’s or Lucien’s, you can take your pick – or spend hours struggling to make a decision, like me!

8. Velaris Jigsaw Puzzle – £21.78

If your booklover likes a puzzle, this jigsaw decorated with a beautiful picture of Velaris will be right up her street! It’s also currently reduced from £39.60 to £21.78 – 40% off!

9. Suriel Tea Co Mug – £11.81

Serving up the hottest tea in all of Prythian. Another little in joke that your ACOTAR lover will most definitely appreciate. This is a nice classy take on it, and paired with some fancy tea, it would make a lovely ACOTAR gift.

10. Night Court Bracelet – £17.64

You know what they say, you can’t go wrong with jewellery! This dainty little bracelet is adorned with an engraving of the mountains and stars sigil of the Night Court, such a classic, but not overtly ACOTAR inspired. It’s also available in silver as well as gold.

What is ACOTAR?

Now if you’re wondering why A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) inspires such passionate fandoms—and gifts!—let’s dive into the magical world of Prythian. This romantasy series by Sarah J Maas takes readers into a richly imagined realm where humans and fae coexist, but not always peacefully. The series begins with a Beauty and the Beast-inspired tale but quickly evolves into a story brimming with court politics, high-stakes battles, and, of course, romance.

The world-building in ACOTAR is unparalleled. Each court – from the glittering Night Court to the autumnal hues of the Autumn Court – has its own unique culture, characters, and intrigue. Fans are drawn to these vividly described settings and the irresistible characters who inhabit them, like Rhysand, the charismatic and complex High Lord of the Night Court, and Feyre, the brave heroine who transforms in every sense throughout the series. This is partly why ACOTAR merch has been so successful – there’s just so much beauty in the series that makes for excellent gifts!

And let’s not forget: ACOTAR is famous for its “spicy” scenes. The romance is intense, making it a top pick for those who enjoy their fantasy with a heavy dose of passion. Whether it’s the thrilling plot twists or the unforgettable love stories, ACOTAR keeps readers hooked—and eager for gifts that bring this world to life.

What are the best gifts for romantasy fans?

This list of 10 ACOTAR gifts is just a drop in the ocean of the amazing ACOTAR merch that’s out there, then there’s a whole world of gifts for fantasy book lovers too! I’d advise finding out which series they’re fans of, then search for book gift ideas. Basically figure out their favourite book series and combine it with a gift idea below!

If all else fails, Sarah J Maas has also published the iconic and best selling Throne of Glass series which readers of ACOTAR also love, and Crescent City series which apparently follows on somewhat from the ACOTAR books, or at least has some character continuity. So if you’re struggling for Christmas gifts, check her bookshelves or Kindle, and if you don’t see any of the series listed above, invest in the first book of a series or two and I’m sure you’ll be onto a winner!
