Find inspiration for your wishlist or gift list with our 2025 present edit.

FOR THE COLLECTOR

Completionists will appreciate a one-time-only signed or special edition. What about Raymond Benson’s very first Bond novel, Zero Minus Ten, signed by the author? Or the Collector’s Hardback Edition of Goldfinger? A must-have edition of just 250 copies with gold gilt sprayed edges. Or how about a boxset? The landmark 70th anniversary paperback reissues of all fourteen classic 007 titles are now available in a boxed set exclusive to the Ian Fleming Shop .

FOR THE WRITER

A writer’s notebook is an essential gift. Handcrafted by artisan bookbinders in England, the Hummingbird Notebook is the place for musing, research and notes. Choose from leather or buckram covers, in a variety of colours. Or what about some inspiration? Talk of the Devil brings together articles spanning Ian Fleming’s careers as both an author and a journalist, as well as documents from the Second World War and various correspondence – including with fellow author Raymond Chandler.

FOR THE COCKTAIL CONNOISSEUR

Equip them with the perfect accompaniments to their cocktail cabinet. Shaken: Drinking with James Bond and Ian Fleming is the official 007 cocktail book and features 50 delicious recipes inspired by Fleming’s stories. Or cause a stir with ‘The Shaken’ socks, the perfect design to raise a glass to.

FOR THE ARMCHAIR SLEUTH

Give them a mystery they can sink their teeth into. Q is out of MI6, and in over his head in Vaseem Khan’s new novel Quantum of Menace, where Q’s investigating the death of a childhood friend turned quantum computer scientist . Or step into Raymond Benson’s new adventure, The Hook and the Eye, set after the events of Live and Let Die, following Felix Leiter’s first job as a private detective.

FOR THE HISTORIAN

Dive into the detail with gifts for the bedside table or library. The award-winning biography Ian Fleming: The Complete Man gives a new perspective on the writer’s life. Choose an edition signed by author Nicholas Shakespeare to make it even more special. Or what about Fleming’s lesser-known work of non-fiction, The Diamond Smugglers, which tells the true story of an illicit multi-million pound scheme smuggling gems out of Africa. Or dive into James Bond family history with the ‘Heraldry’ sock giftset, containing two pairs of socks embroidered with the Bond and De Bleuchamp/Blofeld crests.

FOR THE JETSETTER

Globetrotters can get a vivid snapshot of a mysterious, vanished world as they explore fourteen of the world’s most exotic locations alongside Ian Fleming in his non-fiction book Thrilling Cities. Or conjure up tropical sunshine with ‘The Thunderball’ socks, featuring 007 in classic scuba kit with speargun.

FOR THE MODERN AGENT

How about their favourite Ian Fleming 007 adventure in hardback or paperback? Or take them on a mission of a lifetime with a signed edition of Charlie Higson’s On His Majesty’s Secret Service. It’s two days before the coronation of King Charles III and Bond is tasked with foiling an attempt at (murderous) disruption. ‘The Double-O’ or ‘The Agent’ socks will upgrade their footwear… the only choice: black tie or white tux?

FOR THE KIDS

Buckle up for a magical adventure with Ian Fleming’s classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Gift the paperback edition, signed by illustrator Thomas Gilbert, or our 60th anniversary collectible hardback, featuring the original artwork and cover by John Burningham.
