29 Best Downton Abbey Gifts for Devoted Fans

Downton Abbey gifts fans will treasure: complete series and film box sets, official cookbooks, Highclere Castle books, licensed teas and afternoon tea sets.

Updated 29 gifts curated $6.15 – $134.99

Downton Abbey fans rarely stop at watching. They rewatch the Christmas specials every December, quote the Dowager Countess at dinner, and would happily spend a weekend at Highclere Castle if anyone offered. The best gifts feed that affection: a way to own every episode and film, the real history behind the house, or the recipes and teas that bring a little of the Crawleys' world to an ordinary afternoon.

We chose 29 Downton Abbey gifts with that in mind. You will find the complete series and all three films, the official companion and costume books, memoirs and histories of the real Highclere, officially licensed teas and cookbooks, and a few pieces for hosting a proper afternoon tea. We left out the vague 'vintage' trinkets that flood this search, and every pick is on Amazon with current pricing.

Buyer's Guide

How to pick the best downton abbey gifts

Find out what they already own. Many fans bought the series years ago but never caught up on the films, especially The Grand Finale. The 3-film collection or the single Grand Finale disc can be a better gift than another copy of the show. If they have nothing, the Ultimate Legacy Collection covers it all.

Decide between the show and the history. Some fans love the characters; others are fascinated by the real Edwardian world. For the first group, the official companion, script book or Wit and Wisdom are ideal. For the second, Lady Almina, A Year at Highclere or Below Stairs show the true stories the series drew on.

Give them a reason to host. The Afternoon Tea Cookbook paired with a Downton tea tin and a bone china cup makes a complete, thoughtful gift for under $50. Add the tiered cake stand if you want them to invite friends round for a viewing party.

Look beyond Downton for the superfan. If they own everything with the Downton name on it, Julian Fellowes's other work, The Gilded Age and the novel Belgravia, offers the same drawing-room intrigue in new settings.
