Tacky socks, Thor waffles and IYKYK memorabilia. Here are 10 pop-culture presents that honour true fandom
Strong on-screen presents

1 A vacation in Shrek's Swamp.

It's secluded. It probably smells. AirBnB has set up treehouse-style lodgings in the Scottish Highlands for a two-night experience of the ogre life: There's earwax candlelight, parfait, fireside stories. No torches, pitchforks or intrusive Duloc knights. Open for up to three guests October 27-29. Bring your own onions. Airbnb.com

2 Tyrion Lannister drinking set.

The 17 oz beer glass bears the line, "I drink and I know things". The bottle opener is shaped like the Amazon.in pin of the Hand of the King in Game Of Thrones. Your know-it-all friend (who happens to like beer and GoT) will find this the best validation. Amazon.in

3 Middle Earth chess set.

The Noble Collection makes Lord Of The Rings chess sets. Pick a side: Aragorn, Frodo and Gandalf, or the forces of evil, with Gollum and Sauron. Work your orcs. Get heroes into a checkmate: "You shall not pass!" LOTR fans say "My precioussss". NobleCollection.com

4 Marvel MVA4 281 waffle maker.
