I shared a great big list of gift ideas for book lovers. But fantasy readers are in a league of their own. They not only read about magical places, fantasy book lovers often like to immerse themselves in the fantasy lands they read about.

Readers who love books about magical and mythical beings and supernatural forms will love these gifts for any occasion!
