As the air gets a bit chillier and we bundle inside to celebrate our various seasonal holidays, it's good to take time and show appreciation for those we care about. For those in the Destiny universe, including its players, this takes the shape of The Dawning.
As we place our decorations and light the cozy fires of our hearths, let's sit back and consider how best to show our love for those we've run countless Strikes with. Though the times may be dark, there is always Light to guide us. So, grab a plate of Gjallardoodles, and let's look at the best holiday gifts for Destiny 2 fans.
The greatest gifts for Destiny 2 players
Destiny players aren't a complicated bunch. We like shooting aliens with ridiculous weapons and making our Guardians look as fabulous as possible. As such, giving gifts to the Little Light in your life is easier than you'd think. From replicas to game keys, here are some easy wins.
Confectionery Ghost Shell
- $70
- Store Link
Bungie has partnered with Numskull Designs yet again for this adorable gingerbread Ghost shell. Functioning as an advent calendar, the recipient opens a door every day from December 1 through December 24. Each door contains a piece of the Ghost model. Not only will they be reminded of your love every day, but at the end they'll have a delightful model to admire.
Vinyl Ghost Shell
- $15
- Store Link
Maybe a gingerbread Ghost shell simply isn't your Guardian's thing. In that case, having a replica of the original Ghost shell is just the trick. Ghost serves as players' primary companion throughout their journey, so having a real embodiment of that stirs up all sorts of feelings.
Destiny Grimoire Anthology
- $24.99 each
- Store Link
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Destiny franchise has some of the best lore in any medium. For those who want to dig deep into the histories of the Eliksni, Cabal, or even the Risen, the Grimoire Anthology is the way to do it. These hardcover, leather-bound books are full of beautiful illustrations and make for the perfect book to curl up with on these long and dark nights.

Ace of Spades Replica
- $98 without stand
- $118 with stand
- Store Link
Weapons are the primary way that Destiny 2 players interact with the world. As such, we tend to get a little attached to them. No matter what favorite a player might have, we all have a soft spot for the Ace of Spades. This iconic hand cannon was wielded by fan-favorite character Cayde-6 before passing to us during the Forsaken campaign. This life-sized prop is the perfect addition to any Guardian's shelf.
The Final Shape Expansion
- Base Game: $49.99
- Base Game and Annual Pass: $99.99
- Steam Store Link
- Xbox Store Link
- PlayStation Store Link
Perhaps the best gift one could give to Destiny 2 players is the game itself. The Final Shape is to be the last planned expansion of Destiny 2 and will wrap up a decade-long story. Barring a confirmed announcement of a delay, it will be released on February 27, 2024. The base game will allow players to enjoy all of the content when The Final Shape is released while the Annual Pass will also include the three planned Episodes that will follow.
Destiny: The Official Cookbook
- $35
- Store Link
While Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith might not be handing out the awards, there are plenty of Destiny 2 players with the title of "Star Baker." This cookbook will help them expand on that base and create dishes inspired by their favorite game. Just be sure to save some Gjallardoodles for me.
Baby Fallen Plush
- $24.99
- Store Link
When the baby Eliksni were revealed in Season of the Splicer, players lost their collective mind. For years, we had been slaughtering Fallen across the system without realizing how adorable they were as babies. This plush is a must-have for anyone with a pulse.
Funko Pop Figures
- Price Varies
I swear there's a Funko Pop figure for just about everything. There was a time when Destiny figures were also being made. From Cayde-6 to Xur, a lot of fan favorites were there. They've since been discontinued, but can be found at various outlets like Amazon and eBay.
Exo Stranger / Elsie Bray Statue
- $96.99
- Store Link
Even if you're not into statues, this is a gorgeous reproduction of one of Destiny's most infamous characters. From her not having time to explain to being shelved following the completion of Beyond Light, Elsie has walked a long path across multiple timelines. It's time to give her a break and let her rest on your shelf or desk.
Glimmer Cube
- $15.99
- Store Link
Glimmer is the in-game currency of the Destiny universe. Having a glowing chunk of space cash might come in handy should you find yourself resurrected by a Ghost in the far-flung future.
