THE LOCKED TOMB Gift Guide for the Gideon, Harrow or Nona in Your Life

The covers of the three books that currently make up The Locked Tomb series: Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, and Nona the Ninth.

With the holidays right around the corner, Geek Girl Authority is here to help you find the perfect gift for everyone in your life. While not every fandom has official merch, there’s always Etsy. I scoured the site to find gifts for every fan of The Locked Tomb series, whether Gideon is your girl, Harrow has your heart or you can’t get enough of Nona. Read on!

Pins

Black pins with gold inlay depicting different designs of skulls. The one in focus has sunglasses, the number IX, and is grinning.

What better way to show your Locked Tomb pride than with pins for each house? I own this Gideon version, and Mayticks has one for every house. There’s even a redesign where the colors are reversed!

If Camilla Hect is your favorite character, WayWordsPaperCo has a tiny pin highlighting one of her most iconic moments in the series. This shop has plenty of other Locked Tomb merch, so be sure to check it out.

For a little bit of a different look — and maybe not one you can wear every day — The Pin Library has a We Do Bones design. It even features a skeleton hand giving everyone the finger. There are plenty of different designs in this shop, too, and they come beautifully packaged for the perfect gift.

Shirts

Plenty of options exist if “one flesh, one end” is you and your bestie’s motto. This sweatshirt comes in almost every color and a range of inclusive sizes. I also love this embroidered design; you can even customize it with your favorite House skull.

Nona’s mere existence took everyone by surprise, but she quickly worked her way into Locked Tomb fans’ hearts. Help your loved one dress like her with this Nona the Ninth Burger Shirt. It’s almost identical to the one she wears on the cover, and reviews say it’s incredibly soft.

This shop, College BookCore, also has a great Ninth House shirt and plenty of other nerdy fandom apparel. A friend of mine has multiple shirts from this shop and loves them all.

Everything Else

Because The Locked Tomb is a series that defies classification, plenty of gifts fall into the “everything else” category. Might I recommend this 3D Printed Harrowhark Nonagesimus? It comes unpainted for customization, and there are even two size options.

Two images of either side of a mug: one side has a skull wearing sunglasses and the other says "let me guess, you take it black"

I’ll probably end up getting myself this amazing Gideon mug. It has a skull wearing her iconic sunglasses on one side and the words “Let me guess, you take it black” on the other. The skull’s face is hilarious; every mug is hand-thrown and painted, so they’re all unique.

One of my favorite quotes from Gideon the Ninth is, “Death first to vultures and scavengers.” If you have a friend like me, help them immortalize this iconic line on a sticker. Even better, it’s available in two different designs, so why not get both?

If you’ve someone read this entire gift guide without having someone in mind to shop for, why not buy them the entire Locked Tomb series? Head to your local independent bookstore or Bookshop.org and get all three books out so far.
