It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Despite the crazy crowds, the last-minute shopping, the commercialization of it all, and the insane spending, the majority of us will still pick Christmas as our favorite holiday. That’s because there’s so much to love about this magical season!
From beautiful Christmas trees glistening through the windows to twinkling decorations, warm cocoa with marshmallows to mulled wine, listening to our favorite carols on repeat to watching festive movies (Love Actually, anyone?), turkey dinner with all the trimmings to spending quality time with our loved ones, snuggly Christmas PJs to gifts under the tree, there’s plenty to look forward to.
It’s about love, joy, traditions, and presents…so many presents! And it’s never too early to start thinking about gifts and decorations.
This year we’re leaning away from old-fashioned angels, bells, and baubles and eyeing something a little more unique. We’re talking about nerdy Christmas décor that goes hand in hand with our love for cult movies and shows. No, really. We love pop culture so much that we can’t even stop writing about it.
Also, we can’t forget the lovable nerds in our life this Holiday season. Included below are some awesome gift ideas for your nerdy friends and loved ones that are guaranteed to make them smile.
Time to spruce up your Christmas décor and take your presents game to the next level!
Holiday decorations and gifts for Harry Potter Fans
It has been over two decades since the first Harry Potter book appeared in stores but that is of little relevance to fans because once a Potterhead, always a Potterhead!
Do you have a Hogwarts nerd in your life who eats, breathes, and sleeps, Harry Potter? Maybe they know every single book inside out, have watched all the movies and can recite lines from memory? Maybe they can’t wait to visit ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ or ride the real-life Hogwarts Express across the Scottish countryside? Sound like someone you know?
Well, here are some enchanting decorations and gift ideas that will please every muggle and wizard. We solemnly swear that Christmas can’t get any more magical than this. So, put on your house robes, grab your wand, and repeat after us – “Accio presents!”

Decorations and holiday gifts for Lord of the Rings fans
J.R.R Tolkien’s epic fantasy has mesmerized readers for decades and with good reason. These books transcend time and language and take you on an adventure filled with unique lands, intriguing characters, gripping stories, and “the one ring.”
Even the movie franchise created by Peter Jackson is just as incredible! In fact, LOTR is such a huge global phenomenon, that everyone knows at least one “Ringer” or is one themselves.
If you’re looking for Christmas décor and gift ideas for the LOTR fan in your life, we recommend thinking outside the box (or should we say ring?).
Check out these options that will make them happier than a hobbit eating a second breakfast and give them all the Middle-earth feels this holiday season. Now, that’s what we’re Tolkien about!

For Star Wars Fans
We can’t talk about Christmas decor inspired by your favorite movies and leave Star Wars out.
The thing about Star Wars is that fans are rarely on the same page and will always argue about which movie is the best, whether the prequels are terrible or amazing, and what the proper order for watching them is.
The one thing they will all agree on, however, is that it’s always great to receive a Star Wars-themed gift. The good news is that you don’t have to travel to a galaxy far, far away — or all the way to George Lucas’ own Skywalker Ranch — to find the perfect nerdy Christmas décor or gift for the Star Wars devotee in your life.
Whether you know someone (or are someone) who collects memorabilia, celebrates May the 4th every year, attends cosplay conventions, or just watches all the movies over and over again, these gifts and décor ideas will make their inner Jedi oh-so-happy!
