One of my best friends is in my gaming group, and her birthday is coming up.  I have no idea what to get her that's gaming related that isn't more pretty dice.  I always get her dice as part of a gift, so I don't want to do that.

I can't think of a game book she needs, either.  I spoke with her husband today about getting her miniatures, but she really doesn't have time to paint them nor would she appreciate it if I bought her pre-paints or painted them myself.  She has Munchkin and Ninja Burger and a bunch of other gamery games...so I'd like to get her something RPG related that isn't dice.

Any ideas folks?

How about a good pen and/or journal to write notes while gaming?  A nice leather bound journal that you can find with either plain, lined, or quad paper.  Maybe a nice mechanical pencil?

It's tough buying gifts for a gamer girl sometimes.

Have you considered buying a Renaissance fair type costume?

That might be a bit much...how about a set of elf ears? My gf just loves here, and she's pretty cute in them, I admit.

There's a "Bag of Holding" knapsack you might find online...gf has that, too, and likes it alot.

You could get a fantasy print/picture to hang on a wall. Unicorns are usually popular with the xx chromosome types.

That's off the top of my head, I'd need a price range to get more ideas.

What about having her favorite character illustrated? My GM alternate did this for everyone for Christmas one year and it was a huge hit.

Depending on her personality, a dice tray or dice tower.

Hey, do you have an amazon or other company wishlist?

RPGnow / Drivethru gift certificate?

Labyrinth on DVD ?

Hard to suggest any specific books or anything without knowing what she RPGs she normally plays..or is she just a Munchkin player?

Good idea!
I like Paperblanks, plain, in "ultra" size, with magnetic wrap and a pouch in the back cover.

And personalize it.

• A hand drawn character sheet on the first two pages (or more if your system of choice is more crunchy)
• A map of either the homeland or the main campaign region, showing the travels of her character
• A random table she may roll on whenever she likes, with very very minor effects on the game (like a cantrip version of the Deck of Many Things)

I don't understand.  I'm trying to be creative here...I don't think she has any kind of wish list, except perhaps at ThinkGeek.

@Spinachcat: I like the idea of a Drivethru certificate...

I really like the idea of a nice journal...she could use it when she GMs next.  Pencils we've got, I make sure to keep a courtesy cup of mechanical pencils at the table.

Her femininity isn't so much of a much when it comes to gamer gifts.  She already has a bag of holding (which is awesome) and a stunning array of T-shirts.  I'm trying to think outside the box, and y'all are doing wonders!

We're currently playing Classic Deadlands, but we switch games every few months (we make sure each campaign has a definite ending before we play).  She last ran Scion, but is thinking of running an alien sci-fi thriller next.  I have no idea what we're playing after Deadlands.  I thought about getting her something that commemorates the game, but I'm not sure.

Commemorate a Deadlands game, huh?  I bet she doesn't have any bullet-shaped counters.

Those clips and catridges are awesome! And dirt cheap! Shame he can't ship outside USA.

Gnomemurdered! Its the perfect gift!

I reload my own cartridges, I have a shitload of brass.  I could actually make one of those.

My group has had a lot of fun with FtA!, but I really know very little about Gnomemurdered.  It's basically a joke game, right?
