'Doctor Who' Ice Cube Trays

Why trust a regular cube to cool down your drinks when you can get a Dalek to do it? (Or a TARDIS, as the case may be.) These are made of silicone, so the ice should just pop out, and they can also be used as candy molds.

"I Love You" Gallifreyan Necklace

Every DW fan knows that Gallifrey is the planet of Time Lords, the civilization to which the Doctor belongs. And most Whovians will also know that the complex Gallifreyan language was actually created by a fan, and while it is not a canonical part of the show, this simply beautiful necklace, with "I Love You" written in Gallifreyan, is a Doctor Who gift that’ll make any fan swoon.

Exploding TARDIS Wallet

According to the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, "Nothing is protected like money.” To ensure this is true, give your Doctor Who fan their very own Van Gogh-inspired TARDIS bi-fold wallet to safely store the cash they get out with their sonic screwdriver…or with their ATM card!
