Gifts Under $25
Arwen's Gift | Illustration by Wangjie Li
Magic is an expensive game. While there are tons of smaller presents for under $25, there are two gift categories I want to talk about: aesthetic and practical gifts.
Aesthetic Gifts
Aesthetic products are things that a player doesnโt need to play Magic. While most players who want cards or products as a gift want something more practical, these gifts can tap into the receiver's excitement.
Starting at $20 for standard sizing there are wonderful original Magic art prints available over on Original Magic Art. This is a great opportunity for any gift giver to engage with their loved one.
Asking what someoneโs favorite cards are can help guide you to what art they might appreciate. I had a print of Rob Alexanderโs Blood Crypt up in my dorm room for years and it sparked conversations with people who enjoyed the art but had never heard of Magic.
Let's flip the aesthetic conversation and touch on common courtesy and unwritten rules that say any drink at the game table should have a sealable lid. I bring a water bottle to my Magic sessions, so how can I express yourself? Magic: The Gathering vinyl stickers are an affordable way for a Magic player to put their mark on something, and there are few better ways to make your stuff unique than stickers. These can also go on binders, laptops, or boxes. The set of eight stickers are roughly the size of a card.
- Premium Stickers - These stickers and decals are professionally printed on high-quality outdoor-grade vinyl, providing vibrant colors that stand out. Easily affix to any smooth surface: simply clean the area, apply the sticker, and gently smooth out any air bubbles, working from the center outwards.
- Multiple Uses - Our premium stickers and decals give you the ability to use them in numerous ways. Place them on a window, laptop or computer, car, water bottle, or any other hard surface.
- Made in the United States of America - All of our stickers and decals are Made in the United States of America at our facility in Chicago. Each sticker is packaged inside a 100% recycled paperboard envelope made with 35% post-consumer product.
- Desert Cactus - We are a Chicago-based Certified LGBT Business Enterprise. Desert Cactus holds licensing agreements for professional leagues, numerous colleges and universities, as well as other organizations.
- Officially Licensed Product - Desert Cactus is an officially licensed vendor for this Hasbro, which means Hasbro has approved the design and Desert Cactus pays royalties for use of the marks.
Custom Holographic Sleeves
Yes, the best gift requires a bit of effort on your part. Every Magic player has unsleeved cards. While most players are able to sleeve up their decks, they will tell you it takes lots of dedication to foil out a deck. These Custom Holo Card Sleeves give the look of expensive foil cards and add a physical barrier to protect Magic cards. You snag a high quality image (PNGs tend to be better than JPGs) for personal use, select standard size, and make it something your gift recipient will love. Do they lean toward a rainbow of colors? Have a favorite MTG character? Find an image that really sings to them, and immortilize it on a set of sleeves.
How many you get determines the final price. For 60 sleeves it costs about $40, and for 100 sleeves expect a little more than $50. Get on this early since it can't ship as fast as many other gifts.
- [Personalized Sleeves]:Want to design and own unique card sleeves? We have the perfect solution for you. Send us an HD picture, then you can get your own laser flashing shiny masterpiece.

Magic: The Gathering T-Shirts
Magic is a game where the professionals might wear something as casual as a mana symbol T-shirt. Comfy and bold, machine washable, and available in sizes Small to 6X-Large as well as some youth and tall sizes. You could also opt for a clever Magic T-shirt and get a couple all at once. Like many card designs, find one that suits the taste of the wearer.

You might have seen dry erase tokens before, so if you want more of these for less money, this is the best deal. You don't need to run a token commander to appreciate them. These blank playing cards might be the most valuable and practical gift you read about today.

These Katana sleeves are an affordable-yet-very-important gift. If your giftee plays a lot or has valuable cards to protect, then chances are they constantly use and wear out card sleeves or need an upgrade on their penny sleeves. With sleeves, you may have the budget to buy a couple of packs, which will be much appreciated. Be sure to ask if they use 40, 60, or 100-card decks and go for multiples of that number. Err on the side of extras with sleeves.

Gift Gallery
Want a high-level overview of what products exist for your Magic-playing friends and family? Look no further than this gift gallery!
Here I go over assorted styles of common pre-packed or sealed gifts along with a little note on buying individual Magic cards for the collector in your life.
Cards and Boosters
One of the core aspects of Magic is collecting the cards to play with. Players buy cards individually, packs of random cards, boxes of booster packs, and sometimes all the cards in a single set. These work because theyโre for different purposes.
Make sure to ask what your recipient plays or what they might need.
Standard Players
If your giftee primarily plays Standard, packs of any of these would be a great gift:
- Avatar: The Last Airbender booster box
- Marvel's Spider-Man booster box
- Tarkir: Dragonstorm booster box
- Aetherdrift booster box
- Foundations booster box
- Duskmourn: House of Horror booster box
- Bloomburrow booster box
- Outlaws of Thunder Junction booster box
- Murders at Karlov Manor booster box
- The Lost Caverns of Ixalan booster box
Modern Players
- Modern Horizons 3 play booster box
- Modern Horizons 2 draft booster box
- Modern Horizons 2 set booster box
- Modern Horizons draft booster box
Single Cards
Singles are the foundation of Constructed Magic. Singles are golden for Commander, whereas in Standard, Modern, or almost any other format where they bring their own deck, they may want four of the same card to play their ideal deck. Itโs a much better idea to buy the specific cards they need rather than buying packs or boxes hoping to open those cards.
There are some staple cards that are good to own and hold their value over time. If your giftee isnโt trying to build any specific deck and doesnโt want packs, I recommend cards like fetch lands, shock lands, or triomes. These are highly sought after in multiple formats.
Tap into nostalgia with the oldest cards in Magic that you can still play in any format. There's no set symbol on the basic lands from Alpha but they are black-bordered and should be in light play or near mint condition as a gift. Find cards from specific sets on TCGplayer with the โSetsโ filter and search โAlpha Editionโ (there are two different art images for each).
Shop around a bit between major Magic retailers since prices often differ depending on where you look. Especially in marketplaces like TCGplayer, Star City Games and Card Kingdom you can find deals that make your foray into buying cards a little easier.
In fact, TCGplayer is offering 10% store credit on any purchases between November 28 to December 1, 2025 as part of their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal.
Be careful buying from places like Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace. While there are plenty of reputable sellers, itโs easy to lose sight of what you want to get and whether itโs from a trusted source.
Preconstructed Decks
Modern Boros Samurai Deck
This fast-paced Boros Samurai deck will be fun to play and can be quite competitive. With highlights like Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei, Raiyuu, Storm's Edge, and Selfless Samurai, this deck plays fast and swings hard.
If youโre quite adept at purchasing single cards and making adjustments to decks, you can buy this deck and substitute a few copies of Summon: Yojimbo to spice it up.
- At MTG Decks & More we have a combined 50+ years experience building and playing decks from standard to modern to commander (and more!) at both a competitive and casual level. We build powerful, fun decks. For sale is a 60 card custom Magic the Gathering boros (red/white) samurai deck.
- This is a very aggressive deck featuring a ton of new Samurai creatures from the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set.

- The deck has a number of efficiently-costed, strong early game plays including Reinforced Ronin, Goro-goro, Risona, Selfless Samurai, etc. A number of the creatures and spells offer powerful abilities that pump a single attacking Samurai including Raiyuu (2nd attack step), Asari Captain (+1/+0 for each Samurai you control), Eiganjo Exemplar (+1/+1), Akki Ronin (loot), Tempered in Solitude (effectively card draw), etc.
- The deck also features abilities to protect your creatures (Selfless Samurai), additional card draw/looting (Reinforced Ronin), removal (Kami's Flare), and Imperial oath to help you go wide in the late game. This deck is PERFECT for anyone looking to play a fun, new, themed deck.

Card Protection and Storage
Sleeves
An important resource for any player looking to keep their cards in top shape, sleeves are great gifts for competitive players. Sleeves wear and tear over time so players who play with certain decks regularly need more.
From Tarkir: Dragonstorm comes a set of 5-color card sleeves that rock! This series of dragon-themed sleeves gives your gifted person beautifully textured and styled card backs that are double sleeved for extra protection.
I highlight the Lightning Yellow Dragon because I think itโs cool, but there are also Soul Purple, Fury Red, Power Green, and Glacier Blue Dragon Card sleeves. Get your loved one whatever color and dragon they prefer.
- Art Pattern Theme - Lightning Yellow Dragon. (Note: For ages 14 and above only)
- 100 pcs art card sleeves with 100 pcs perfect fit sleeves, ultra clear, back matte texetured, smooth suffling, double sleeve for better card protection.

Dragon Shield Custom Sleeves
The Dragon Shield custom art sleeves are a very strong contender to my best overall pick! One key difference is although Dragon Shield offers quality images, the foil embellishment is absent. For $25 and you can create 100 sleeves with custom photo art. I think this is a great gift, especially for significant others or kids who may have a favorite artist, television show, or fictional character that otherwise wouldnโt exist on official MTG sleeves. The potential to create meme sleeves is also deeply appealing for many within the Magic community, myself included.
Binders
Binders are the collection management tool of choice for most Magic players. Once your collection expands to the point where you need to organize and move cards for different formats around, youโll head out and grab a binder. I keep three to four binders at a time to separate by format and itโs helped keep my collection in top shape for years now.
If youโre looking for our best overall suggestion, check out the Ultimate Guard Quad Row Zipfolio Xenoskin binder. It offers great protection, zips closed to prevent dropping loose cards, and you can get anywhere from 4 to 12 pockets depending on what your giftee needs.

No more struggling to slide cards in from the top; simply insert and remove them from the side with ease.

- Acid-Free and PVC-Free: Ultimate Guard card sleeves are crafted with premium materials that are completely acid-free and contain no PVC. This ensures that your valuable trading cards are protected from harmful chemicals that can cause deterioration over time, preserving their condition for years to come.

This feature is especially valuable for those who prioritize card protection and preservation. It ensures that your valuable cards remain in pristine condition, even when double-sleeved for added security.
- With Zipper Closure: Ultimate Guard Zipfolio features a secure zipper closure mechanism. This zipper provides additional protection for your cards, preventing them from accidentally falling out or getting damaged during transport or storage. It adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind, knowing that your collection is safe and well-contained.

Count on the Zipfolio to safeguard your collection with its resilient construction.

Custom deck boxes are great gifts. I have a custom-made wooden deck box I use for every event that was the perfect gift for me. Just be careful with what format and style sleeves your giftee uses since Commander decks are too big for traditional deck boxes. Depending on if your giftee double sleeves their decks (common for Eternal formats like Modern, Legacy, and Vintage) you may need to get a larger box as this can alter the size players need.
Accessories and Collectibles
Playmats
Playmats have seen a lot of use lately as mouse pads, wall art, and dรฉcor, but they were originally for protecting cards from scuffed tables and making sleeved cards easier to pick up. You don't get more on point than a Fierce Guardianship playmat.
Much like sleeves, there are plenty of styles, arts, and materials used for playmats, so discuss what would be meaningful with your giftee. You can also make custom art playmats for both humor and sentimental reasons.

Do you want to give the best of all worlds to your lover of the most popular trading card game around? Make a gift basket of a variety of Magic: The Gathering-related items. Especially if theyโre freshly interested in the game, this a leap for them and refines their early collection.
All you need is a sturdy basket or bin large enough to hold all the items you want to give the recipient. Go the extra mile by grabbing some cellophane wrap for gift baskets and a giant bow as the finishing touch.
Gift Basket
A gift basket could include at least 3 items from among these:
- A playmat featuring a cool color or character.
- A matching deck box.
- Matching or custom sleeves.
- Dice that can be used for any type of counter or cards that require dice rolling.
- Packs or a booster box from their favorite set.
- A MTG plushie or Funko Pop (for cuteness factor).
Of course, you can customize this gift basket to fit the needs and desires of the recipient. Nonchalantly ask about their favorite Magic set. Inquire about their favorite color, commander, planeswalker, or overall cards so that you can match their preferences of deck boxes, sleeves, and playmats with the characters or card art on them.
Here's a bunch of odds and ends to get the gift gears turning:
- No products found.
- MTG Double Display Window Commander Deck
- Color MTG Counter Dice
- Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Collector booster
- Godzilla Funko Pop
Build a Deck
This creative gift idea is more challenging, but your giftee will appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Use our tips and make a Commander deck for the Magic player in your life based on their play style.
Who knows you better than your friends or your loved ones? My good buddy knows that Iโm a fan of black, and especially Dimir (). They helped me to make an Alela, Cunning Conqueror Commander deck (he got me the commander, and we worked on the deck together). What makes this such a special gift is that he knew the kind of Magic I like to play, we got to make something together, and it keeps evolving. I know that it wonโt hurt his feelings if I switch in cards I have on hand like Bender's Waterskin and Katara, Waterbending Master. And an even sweeter present would be taking him down with the deck he helped me make!
Ask your giftee about their favorite color combination, commanders, evergreen keywords, and their overall playstyle. From there, you can research other commanders with these features to find one that your giftee may enjoy. Find some synergistic cards that make the deck perform its best.
For example, if the commander is Niv-Mizzet, Parun, some synergistic cards are:
Donโt beat yourself up if you cannot get the best, most expensive cards for your chosen deck build; allow them to make upgrades. There are many ways to achieve the same or close to the same effect for the deck if you want to achieve a budget build.
Design a Custom Card
What else can you do to give a meaningful gift thatโs still Magic-related? Iโve seen custom/altered cards of pets, special moments in peopleโs lives, and even marriage proposals. While these can take a lot of work and potential digital or manual artistry, they can be incredible gifts.
There are customizable cards, deck boxes, and more that you can order on Etsy if youโre not as artistically inclined. These shops take the hassle out of creating something custom for players like me who lack artistic ability, but theyโll still mean a lot to your giftee.
Here's our review of the best places to make custom cards.
Gift Cards
Much like any other mysterious hobby, you can always give someone a gift card. Many local game stores offer store gift cards that let your giftee support their LGS and buy whatever they need. I suggest you discuss if your giftee wants something specific or more general, as a specific gift can mean a little more. That said, it is fun and exciting to shop for Magic, so don't shy away from giving such an experience.
But if your giftee doesn't have an LGS nearby or would like a larger selection to choose from, both TCGplayer gift cards and Card Kingdom gift cards can be used from the comfort of their couch.
Something Cozy
If you have a loved one who also loves MTG, you donโt always have to give them something they can play with. For example, the Bioworld Digital Print MTG Throw Blanket should keep them warm and show off something they really love. Plus, if this is a loved one you want to get cozy with, you can both get warm under the five colors of Magic.
- SIZE - The Magic: The Gathering Fan Accessory measures 45"x60".
- MATERIAL - The Magic: The Gathering Merchandise is made of 100% polyester micro plush material.
- OFFICIALLY LICENSED - This piece of fan merchandise is officially licensed and 100% authentic, making it the perfect gift for fans!
- BRIGHT & BOLD - The Magic: The Gathering Blanket features a bright, bold digital print design across the entire blanket.
- GREAT GIFT - The Magic: The Gathering Digital Print Throw Blanket is the perfect fan accessory to gift to anyone!
