Reptile Gift Ideas for the Reptile People in Your Life — Christmas 2018

It’s that time of year again!

Mugs and tee-shirts are great and all, but when it comes to Christmas gifts, creativity shows just how much you care — even if you don’t share their passion for reptiles. To make your search easier (believe me, Googling “reptile gifts” doesn’t work as well as it should), we’ve put together a list of ideas for all tastes, from the sentimental to the sophisticated. To make it a little easier this year, we’ve divided our picks into categories:

• Reptile Art
• Reptile Jewelry
• Reptile-Themed Household Items
• Miscellaneous Reptile Goodies
• Reptile Care

And if the special reptile person you’re shopping for happens to be you — hey, we don’t judge.

Jewelry

Dragon Scale Ring

This ring is sterling silver and comes in sizes 5-9 for the thin band and sizes 5-10.5 for the wide band. A super cool but understated way to express your love for all things scaly.

You can find the thin band here and the wide band here.

Snake Choker Necklace

According to the creator, Lifesong Jewelry, snakes symbolize rebirth, transformation, and healing. Not sure about that (although it’s good to see a positive association for once), but I do know that this necklace would make a great gift for anyone in your life who loves both snakes and sparkly things.
