Make the holidays a little more sonic with gifts from Doctor Who

As a long-time enthusiast of the TARDIS and all things Doctor Who, I must say that this year’s gift options are truly out of this world! The Fifteenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Deluxe Edition is an absolute must-have for any Whovian, especially since it comes with a whopping five unique sound and light effects. It’s like having the Doctor himself right by your side!

Over the next couple of months, the holidays will be here, but you don’t have to wait until the “Doctor Who” Christmas special airs to start searching for that ideal gift. The series offers a variety of products that are sure to please both long-time fans and newcomers. Let’s explore some of the choices available.

Something new in the box of blue

Let’s dive into something fresh and unique: The Premium Version of the Sonic Screwdriver belonging to the Fifteenth Doctor. Just like the Doctor’s regenerations, these sonics are one-of-a-kind, and the one carried by Ncuti Gatwa, the 15th Doctor, has a touch of whimsy. This Doctor is all about music and a stunning fashion sense, and you can embody that energy with the replica of his Sonic Screwdriver, now available at character-online.com. Exclusive to Character Online, this product boasts two functioning modes and five entirely new sound and light effects, each triggered by a specific button combination. For those yearning for a blast from the past, they also offer the Fourteenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver.

Something Older

If you’re feeling sentimental, there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as owning Tom Baker’s full first season as the Fourth Doctor on Blu-ray. To kick things off, let me tell you that this series, airing in 1974-75, presents Baker with encounters against Sontarans, Daleks, and even Cybermen. What makes it even more charming are the ongoing journeys with Elizabeth Sladen’s character, Sarah-Jane Smith, and Ian Marter’s character, Surgeon-Lieutenant Harry Sullivan.

Wear it like you mean it

Browse through different sections on the BBC Shop for “Doctor Who”. You’ll find some t-shirts ideal for those days when you want to show off your geek side proudly. The artist, Kelly Yates, has beautifully illustrated the Thirteenth Doctor in a charming animated stance right after she creates her own sonic screwdriver. This design is available as a women’s t-shirt.

If you can’t pick just one favorite Doctor Who TARDIS image, neither can I! Thankfully, there are t-shirts featuring both the TARDIS and the first fourteen Doctors available.

If you’re fond of the latest incarnation of The Doctor, there’s an eye-catching bright blue t-shirt available that features the phrase “Honey, I’m here for fun” alongside a design of the Fifteenth Doctor. This unique item was exclusively unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Accessories

One of the Tenth Doctor’s most memorable catchphrases is his exclamation “What?!”. A tote bag puts this question into words and features a starry depiction of the iconic police telephone box. This accessory serves as a reminder of the various instances where he uttered this phrase, such as to a runaway bride and the RMS Titanic, among others.

In case your pockets don’t have a magical expansion feature, you can keep the Fifteenth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver as a stylish enamel keychain instead.

You still have ample time to choose a treat for yourself or your dear Whovian friend; keep an eye out for additional holiday gift suggestions in the coming days.
