Picking a Perfect WoW Gift

With millions of player worldwide, World of Warcraft's immense popularity means that gifting is easy for the WoW aficionado. While in-game gifts are great for any player, consider these World of Warcraft items that aren't virtual.

The Blizzard Authenticator

The Blizzard Authenticator makes a great, cheap gift for any World of Warcraft player. The Authenticator links to a Blizzard account, and adds a second randomized password required every time that account is logged in - creating a security blanket against keyloggers and hackers. With the authenticator, only the person who holds the authenticator will be able to access the account.

As an added bonus, the Authenticator also grants the rare mini-pet, Core Hound Pup, to the account owner. This is a small Core Hound "puppy" which rolls over, barks, and acts just like any other puppy would.

The Blizzard Authenticator runs $6.50 in the Blizzard Store.

Lil' KT and Pandaren Monk

Is the person you're gifting a big fan of mini-pets? Do they want to collect them all? Then take a look at two exclusive mini-pets from the Blizzard Store: Lil' KT and Pandaren Monk.

Lil' KT is a chibi, baby version of Kel'Thuzad, the end boss of Naxxramas. His specials include randomly freezing nearby critters, and cackling madly at your defeated foes. He is $10.00 in the Blizzard Store.

The Pandaren Monk is a wise-looking miniature Pandaren, a special race of Azeroth not normally seen in World of Warcraft. The monk will return any /bows with a kowtow of his own. It is also $10.00 in the Blizzard Store.

Arthas: Rise of the Lich King

If the giftee is a reader, role-player, or both, consider getting them the newest book in Warcraft's lore - World of Warcraft: Arthas, Rise of the Lich King.

The novel details the life of Arthas as he goes from a man fighting the Scourge, to gaining the power of Frostmourne, to becoming part of the Lich King himself. With what some consider a controversial ending, this makes a great read, especially as it coincides with any interest in the new Icecrown Citadel raid in World of Warcraft.

Arthas, Rise of the Lich King can be found in bookstores, and has a retail price of $25.00 hardcover.
