The epic House of the Dragon holiday gift guide
HBO’s House of the Dragon took the world by storm this fall. With the show so popular, a lot of merchandise followed, celebrating all things Targaryen. Whether you’re Team Black, Team Green or Team In Between, there are plenty of options if you’re looking for HOTD swag, either for yourself or for the fan in your life this holiday.
The internet has changed how we watch TV shows, but House of the Dragon was something everyone watched together on Sundays. It grabbed our attention and reminded us why we love this franchise. Even offhand comments from the cast went viral; look no further than star Emma D’Arcy talking about her drink of choice: a Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco. Who would have thought that small moment from an interview would take the internet by storm? And that’s just the beginning. Don’t forget the whole army of Daemon Targaryen lovers, not to mention those still mourning the loss of Ser Harwin Strong. All of this provides great fodder for merch.
It’s crazy how many kinds of things fans can buy, and we’re not just talking t-shirts and hats. From jewelry to accessories to blankets to decanter sets, the House of the Dragon folks are not messing around when it comes to pleasing the fans. We scoured the internet and found our favorite items to purchase for those who love House of the Dragon (and had to shrink it down because there were so many great options).
We’ll start with t-shirts, a staple of any merch collection. These shirts give some love to some of our favorite characters.

House of the Dragon Episode 8 King Mask T-shirt, $24.95
This King Viserys t-shirt immediately stood out to us. That mask he wore in Episode 8 was legendary and something all House of the Dragon fans remember.

House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones King’s Landing T-shirt, $20
When we saw this shirt, it was immediately on our holiday gift guide because it pays homage to King’s Landing, where many scenes are set in House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones. This shirt has a retro feel, and the design is superb. Fans will appreciate this shirt because so much happens in King’s Landing. The manufacturer makes shirts with locations like Dragonstone and Winterfell as well.

House of the Dragon House Velaryon ugly holiday long sleeve T-shirt, $30
We had to throw in a long-sleeve shirt for the House of the Dragon holiday gift guide. This shirt is an ugly holiday sweater with a House Velaryon twist. The cool colors really pop, and the shirt comes in three different color schemes. There isn’t much Velaryon merchandise, but they deserve some representation here.

House of the Dragon skull t-shirt, $21.99
Who doesn’t love a good dragon skull t-shirt? This House of the Dragon shirt is one of the staple merchandise pieces, and it’s fantastic. The different colors give this shirt some dimension. As fans know, the Targaryens are dragon riders. The skull of Balerion the Black Dread is given a place of honor in the Red Keep, so it’s only fitting it also appear on a shirt. This shirt is an easy go-to option if you’re unsure what to buy for your favorite House of the Dragon fan.
