The Best James Bond Gifts

James Bond Books

First things first. This is a book blog, so I must recommend the bestselling series of books about James Bond for the fan in your life. They are different than the movies and will be fun for him to collect. Here is my husband’s personal favorite, the Bahamas set Casino Royale.


For a fun spin on James Bond books, try Shaken: Drinking with James Bond and Ian Fleming, the Official Cocktail Book. I purchased a similar book a few years ago for my husband and he loved it! We keep it on our home bar.


Or, for the man who loves coffee table books, I love The James Bond Archives, for tons of behind-the-scenes goodies for the biggest fans.


James Bond Movies

The James Bond Collection movie set is another gift that is sure to please. I bought a set for my husband a few years ago and he still treasures it and pulls the DVDs out to re-watch.


But if the man in your life prefers the more recent films, especially those of Daniel Craig, as my husband does, The Daniel Craig Collection movie set also makes a great gift.


Poker Set

Every James Bond fan should have a poker set! Poker is such an integral part of the books and movies, and the man in your life will thank you for supporting his guys’ night in. I purchased this specific poker set for my husband a few years ago.


Martini Glasses

James Bond loves martinis, shaken not stirred, and so will your gift recipient. These specific Lenox Tuscany martini glasses are the ones we own, and they are the perfect addition to a home bar. It’s one of the most perfect James Bond gifts for him.


Set of Bar Tools

Every James Bond fan needs a set of bar tools. I love the idea of pairing a set of bar tools with the above cocktail book as well. It will keep him entertained all year long, as he prepares a themed cocktail for whatever James Bond book he is reading or movie he is watching. This classic Mixology Bartender Kit contains everything he needs in a handsome display.

Or, if he likes a really masculine look, this black Cocktail Shaker Set will do the trick.


Or, if he is into Moscow mules and the copper look, I personally think this Copper Parisian Cocktail Mixology Set is stunning.


And if he needs a cocktail mixing glass, this is the specific cocktail mixing glass we use at home and like for its striking yet classic appearance.


If he likes things that are a bit more quirky and unique, he may like this handsome penguin cocktail shaker, which I purchased for my husband a few years ago. It always gets compliments from our guests.


Lastly, this Godinger airplane shaker has a distinct James Bond appearance.


Whiskey Rocks

Whiskey rocks continue the James Bond cocktail theme, and would also pair nicely with a bottle of whiskey. These stainless steel whiskey “bullets” have “James Bond” written all over them.



Or, if the man in your life simply likes a large ice cube to chill his whiskey while not watering it down, like my husband, he may like this large ice cube tray, which I purchased for my husband a few years ago.


My husband also uses these specific spherical ice molds when he is sipping a cocktail and rewatching his favorite 007 flicks.


Whiskey Decanter Gift

A whiskey decanter is another great option for the James Bond fan, especially if you are also buying him a bottle of whiskey or one of the other cocktail-related items mentioned above. Here are a few great options.

This Paksh Capitol Glass Decanter with Airtight Geometric Stopper is classic and minimalist, yet striking.


Waterford crystal is beautiful and high-end at a reasonable price. It never disappoints us, as we continue to collect their products over the years. This specific Marquis by Waterford Markham 11 Ounce Double Old Fashioned Glasses Pair and Square Decanter Set gives you a lot of bang for your buck.


Lastly, this Elegant 5 Piece Whiskey Decanter and Glass Set in a Spectacular Gift Box is ready for gift giving with its eye-catching masculine cut and art deco style box.


Leather Gloves

Leather gloves are a staple style piece for a true James Bond fan, as they discreetly conceal fingerprints (wink wink). I like these Luxury Men’s Touchscreen Texting Winter Italian Nappa Leather Dress Driving Gloves because they have touchscreen capabilities, are lined with fleece or cashmere and come in black, brown or saddle brown.


These Harssidanzar Mens Luxury Italian Sheepskin Leather Gloves (Vintage Finished Cashmere or Wool Lined) also have a variety of colors or linings while maintaining a luxurious Italian appearance.


Neck Tie

James Bond is a sharp dresser. And so will the James Bond fan in your life be with a classy new tie. I like The Tie Bar brand because they are affordable and luxurious. My husband and his groomsmen wore them to our wedding. This The Tie Bar 100% Woven Silk Grenafaux Charcoal Skinny Tie has a dark mystique reminiscent of his favorite 007.


Or, if he has a fancy event coming up where he will wear a tuxedo, this The Tie Bar 100% Woven Silk Solid Satin Black Self-Tie Slim Bow Tie exudes great style.


Tom Ford Sunglasses for Him

The movie character James Bond is known for wearing Tom Ford sunglasses, so if you want to splurge a bit for your gift recipient, the Tom Ford Marko aviator sunglasses are the style worn in Skyfall.


In Spectre, James Bond wears monogrammed cufflinks. As far as I’m concerned, anything monogrammed always makes a special, thoughtful gift. These 18K White-Gold Plated Initial Engraved Stainless Steel Men’s Cufflinks With Gift Box will one-up your gift recipient’s style in a flash.


Chrome Lighter

A chrome lighter oozes James Bond’s classy style and love for gadgets. This Zippo Vintage Lighter will make him look like a man with a plan, whose style goes beyond the ordinary.


Weekender Bag

In Spectre, Daniel Craig uses a weekender bag. This popular Seyfocnia weekender bag is unique in that it’s not just a duffel bag. It’s also designed to be used as a convertible garment bag you can easy tote around or even carry on a plane when you need to bring a suit or other Bond-like attire.

My husband frequently has short business trips, so he loves that this one makes it easy and effective to do so.


Conclusion

Those are the best James Bond gifts for him. The man in your life will be pleased to receive any of these gifts to celebrate his fandom in style. To recap and help you decide what to buy, I always recommend James Bond books mixed with something more lifestyle based, like these specific Marquis by Waterford Markham 11 Ounce Double Old Fashioned Glasses, which give you a lot of bang for your buck.
