With the holiday season quickly approaching and shipping times getting longer and longer, it might be time to start shopping for your loved one. And if they love Final Fantasy XIV and don’t live in Japan, it’s definitely time to start thinking about picking out some gifts.

Although shipping is fairly quick from the Square Enix store, some items may take longer to arrive if they are being shipped from Japan. The shipping costs on these items are also extremely high and can sometimes even overtake the cost of the item. Luckily, some things can be found at Amazon and Target, and Etsy is always a great place for hand-made items.

Here are 10 things that you can buy for the Final Fantasy XIV lover on your list this year.

Elpis Flower Light

The shipping to the U.S. on this item is very high, bringing the total cost to about $70 depending on the kind of shipping you choose. But for those who have reached the end game and finished Endwalker, this flower represents a lot.

These two books are staples in any FFXIV fan’s collection. They contain the lore, characters, settings, and everything someone would need to know about the world the game is set in. The third book has been announced, but it won’t be available by the holiday season, so getting these two books as a gift will get them set up to just buy the third book when it comes out. As a bonus, both of these items have in-game rewards as well.

This is a neat little item for a stocking or as a gift for a friend. It’s a silicon mold containing some of the job stones from the game. Although it doesn’t have all of them, fans of the game will likely enjoy this cute little mold and can pull it out at parties or just to chill their drink while they play the game.

This cookbook can be found in a ton of places, but the best cost-wise is on Amazon. This cookbook is a favorite among FFXIV fans because not only does it replicate in-game recipes, but it has the cutest drawings and even has a “Minstrel’s Ballad” level difficulty in it. If that doesn’t convince you, it’s got a five-star rating on Amazon, a rare feat on the site.

Getting up to 16 vuln stacks takes quite a bit of work, so for friends who may have achieved that feat, this sticker is a great way to commemorate that. You might get a playful smack from your giftee, but they’re the one with the 16 vuln stacks, so who’s really laughing?
