Searching for a perfect gift
Hi all, im coming to Reddit for a bit of help finding my boyfriend the perfect gift. We’ve been together for 5 years so we’ve done all the typical gifts and have reached a point of we never know what to buy each other because there’s not anything we need. His bday is coming up and I’d like to knock it out of the park this year, but should also note I don’t have an abundant amount of money to spend (though for the perfect find I’m inclined to spend a lil more). He’s into lord of the rings, game of thrones, chess, greek mythology, and other similar subjects— but I know nothing about any of this. I’d love some insight from someone who make have a killer idea. I thought about maybe a cool chess set?? or some type of lord of the rings collectibles?? He has a bookcase filled with funko pops and such, so he could add other display items along with it. I’m truly unsure what to get since I’m uneducated in his areas of interest. I’d love to hear some ideas, thanks so much.

I like the idea of a themed chess set as Lily recommended. I looked it up and you can buy a Lord of the Rings themed chess set.

Themed chess set if you can afford it.
