Not gonna lie, creating this reading kit was downright intimidating. There are just SO MANY cool Lord of the Rings items out there! Choosing felt like such a huge task. I actually put off writing this for a week to give me time to thoroughly sort through everything and make sure my kit included only the really good stuff.

I did my best to avoid items that were too obvious or super easy to find, since I figure people don’t need anyone to tell them about Frodo Funko Pops or One Ring replicas. I also avoided super expensive stuff (with two carefully considered exceptions). I focused my efforts on creative, high quality, mostly fan-made items that would make great gifts for the hobbit, wizard, shieldmaiden, or Heir of Isildur in your life. Enjoy! 🙂

What would I include in a Lord of the Rings reading kit? I’m so glad you asked…

 

A utensil for every meal. EVERY meal.

It comes in pints?!

 

We’re all friends here.

…unless you’re a cave troll.

 

One light switch plate to rule them all

We have this in our Middle Earth-themed baby nursery, and it is SO COOL. ^.^

 

Make your home smell like the best place ever.

The Shire 8 oz soy candle front view

 

The door to my (and everyone’s) heart

 

A pile of perfect pillows for a cozy day of reading

 

A beautiful LOTR-themed burned wood box for holding your most precious treasures

 

Every questing hobbit needs a weapon…though this one is probably too beautiful to sully with orc guts.

Excuse me while I spend the rest of the day crafting a meticulously researched cost-benefit analysis with coordinating Power Point presentation to convince my husband why we should spend $270 on a decorative wooden sword.

 

And, of course, a beautiful edition of the trilogy!

What would you include in your
Lord of the Rings reading kit?
