I remember Mrs. Whitehouse, the planetarium teacher, blasting Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Here Comes the Sun while teaching us about the stars. Those were the days. While growing up, I didn’t really care for most of my parents’ music, but there was something in the way The Beatles’ music grabbed me. And why not? According to Wikipedia, they are the best selling musical act of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Even though they stopped performing in 1966, their music lives on. These Beatles gifts will have fans twisting and shouting whether they are a little child or when they are 64.
If you are a Beatles fan, quiz yourself while you are finding the perfect gift, by seeing how many song references you can find in this article.
Record players are making a comeback. Give a Beatles’ fan a cool turntable with a Beatles’ theme.
They will definitely want to hold your hand if you book them a Beatles tour.
Their guitar will gently weep until you give them these cool Beatles guitar picks to use when they play.
1. Beatles Tour
Best gifts for Beatles fans
They will definitely want to hold your hand if you book them a Beatles tour. There are walking tours, bus tours, and even private taxi tours. They can go to where it all started in Liverpool, or take a Beatles tour of London.
Of course, these tours are in England so you will need to plan a trip overseas. Use a Rick Steves guidebook to find the best places to stay, eat, and visit while there.
Then give them some packing cubes to help them organize their suitcase. These really help with packing light as they make everything easily accessible. They may become so organized that they will have extra room to fit a Beatles souvenir from their trip to give to you.
2. Beatles Jigsaw Puzzle
Beatles gift for puzzle lovers
Puzzle fanatics will have double the fun as they watch all the album covers, ticket stubs, or portraits unfold before their eyes as they complete one of these Beatles puzzles. You can also get puzzles with specific album covers like Abbey Road. For more of a challenge, give them a double sided SGT Pepper puzzle.
3. Bose Open Ear Audio Sunglasses
Useful gift for Beatles fans
The Beatles have enthralled numerous generations of fans. However, some are more obsessed than others. Some fans go over the top and listen to nothing else. My husband is like that, but with the Grateful Dead. If you need a break from listening to their tunes, these audio sunglasses will make a great gift for both of you. Unlike ordinary headphones or earbuds, they can still hear sounds around them clearly while listening to their music. Fortunately you can’t.
4. Yellow Submarine Little People
Fun gifts for Beatles fanatics
Remember Fisher Price Little People from when you were a kid? I know I’m showing my age, but my original ones were wooden. These folks have gone through quite an evolution, (or should I say Revolution), since then. They even have collector editions like this cool set of the Beatles.
For members of the Lonely Hearts Club get a yellow submarine plush to cuddle with at night.
There is even a SGT Pepper collectible rubber duckie!
5. Trivia Games
Beatles gift ideas
Do they enjoy game nights? Do they shush everyone when Jeopardy is on? They can host their own trivia night with friends with one of these Beatles games, or get creative and make up their own trivia contest with a Beatles trivia book.
They can pop up some popcorn to serve in recycled record bowls. If you look carefully, you may even find some made from Beatles records! Remind them to play some Beatles music while quizzing each other, which brings us to the next set of gifts….
6. I Wanna Hold Your Hand Casting Kit
Romantic gift for Beatles fans
Fans of the early Beatles will understand the significance of this gift. Couples can forever encase their love in a personal sculpture of their entwined hands. This makes a great wedding gift or anniversary gift for Beatles fans.
If they are neat freaks and don’t like getting their hands dirty, give them a hands sculpture or an I wanna hold your hand poster. It will still convey the sentiment without the mess. The posters do not come with a frame, so make sure to get one for them in the correct size.
7. Beatles Turntable
Best Beatles lovers gifts
Record players are making a comeback with thirty somethings and millennials. Give a Beatles’ fan a cool turntable with a Beatles’ theme.
They don’t have any vinyls? Then give them some along with the turntable. Fans will love collector editions of classic vinyl records. Of course, you can give them CDs or the Mp3 version as well, if they prefer.
If they already have a bunch of Beatles’ rock and roll music, you can give them the original studio recordings as a real treat.
8. Beatles Movies
Beatles Christmas presents
Don’t forget the movies! Get classic films such as Hard Day’s Night or Magical Mystery Tour on DVD. Then they can host a movie night when they have some time off during the holidays. Better yet, hunker down under a cozy Beatles blanket and binge watch movies on a cold winter afternoon.
They don’t have to be a paperback writer to enjoy these gifts. Readers will love knowing the secrets behind the songs or what really went on behind the scenes with Beatles books. Instead of binge watching movies, they can catch up on their reading during the holidays.
Don’t forget to get a Beatles ornament to hang on the tree.
9. Cute Purse
The Beatles gifts for her
Are you looking for a Valentine’s or birthday gift for her? She will love you yeah, yeah, yeah if you get her one of these cute purses. They come in backpacks, wallet style, or clutches. You can even get a reusable Beatles shopping bag!
For a more romantic gift, give her some Beatles candles, each named after one of their songs. If she likes jewelry, give her a bracelet with The Beatles theme. She will call you Honey Pie in no time.
10. Film Cells
Cool Beatles gifts
Their collection of Beatles memorabilia will come together when you give them a cool film cell to proudly display.
For those who like a challenge, give them a Beatles jigsaw puzzle. They might need some help, which provides a great activity to do together.
Funky Beatles coasters will prevent condensation from getting here, there, and everywhere.
Or say good morning, good morning, good morning, with coffee served in a Beatles mug. I actually won one of these a few years ago in a Beatles songs trivia contest at a baby shower. This is a mug I am definitely keeping.
Speaking of infants, you can give some infant onesies with Beatles lyrics to inspire a future fan.

11. Retro John Lennon Glasses
The Beatles gifts for him
He can follow the sun once his eyes are protected with these trendy John Lennon sunglasses.
I’ve got a feeling that he will love wearing a Beatles T-shirt to show off his fandom.
It won’t be long after he gets home from work before he grabs a beer to relax. He can keep it chilled with a frosty Beatles pint glass from the freezer.
There’s something in the way metal signs project a good vibe in his man cave that will make him feel like it’s his birthday all year round.
12. Nesting Dolls
Unique Beatles gifts
No need to be back in the USSR to enjoy these cool nesting dolls.
Baby you can drive my car with a Hot Wheels Yellow Submarine. Well, maybe I should say “Baby you can drive my boat,” instead.
Do you want to know a secret? A Beatles wooden music box will have her happy just to dance with you. But she may cry instead if you don’t give her one.
13. Beatles Guitar Picks
Beatles gifts for guitarists
Their guitar will gently weep until you give them these cool Beatles guitar picks to use when they play.
I’ve got a feeling they will also adore a Beatles guitar strap.
With a little help from their friends and a Beatles song book they will be playing great tunes before you know it.
While I’m sure these are not made from Norwegian wood, these mini guitars will be a #1 hit with everyone, whether they are musicians or not.
14. Beatles Clock
Home gifts for Beatles fans
For the home, you can give them a Beatles clock so they always know when it is time to say good night.
As additional decor, give them a Beatles rug or a fleece throw. They can cuddle under this while watching Beatles films. If they have a lot of guests over, they can throw some pillows on the rug for seating as if they traveled to Rishikesh like the Beatles did for meditation in 1968.
15. Octopus Planters
Presents for Beatles fans
You can create an Octopus Garden of their own with a few of these cool gifts. Start with some octopus planters and some succulents. The great thing about these is that they can be used indoors or outside.
If you are creating the Octopus Garden outdoors, add some sea themed wind chimes for some sound effects. To complete the garden, give them some octopus yard art. Some are huge lawn objects, but there are smaller pieces if they have limited space.
