The WLC Collector's Guide: Finding the Right TCG Gift for Christmas 2025
Finding the right Christmas gift for a trading card game collector can be a challenge. With so many different games, sets, and rarities, it’s easy to feel lost. As collectors ourselves, we’ve put together this guide to showcase some of the most interesting products currently available at We Love Collectibles.
This is a curated list to help you find the perfect present, covering everything from major “grail” items for the serious collector to fantastic ideas for those just starting their journey. This covers some of the best TCG Christmas gifts for 2025, with items you can find right here on our website or by visiting us in-store in Margate.

For the Pokémon TCG Collector
The Pokémon TCG is currently celebrating the return of Mega Evolution, with recent sets like Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames introducing some incredibly popular cards.
For a significant, high-value gift, the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – 151 Ultra-Premium Collection (£600) – It’s a big present, for a lucky collector. 151 was extremely popular, celebrating the original Kanto Pokémon. For those collecting the newest sets, a Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box is always a sought-after item. The Phantasmal Flames Pokémon Center ETB (£160.00) includes extra packs and an exclusive promo card you can’t find in the standard version.
We’ve also accumulated a large amount of older, or modern, ETBs – Pokemon center or otherwise. Take a look at our ETB collection here – Elite Trainer Boxes Archives – We Love Collectibles
Of course, the heart of any collection is its rare single cards. The ultimate centrepiece from the latest set is the stunning Mega Charizard X – Phantasmal Flames – 125/094 (£500.00) – and we’ve got one In store.
For a more accessible but equally beautiful singles, you can take a look here at our dedicated Pokemon page – search via sets, for English, Japanese and Korean Languages – Pokémon TCG Sets
For the Disney Lorcana Illumineer
Disney Lorcana’s popularity continues to grow with every release. For the Illumineer in your life, finding a special gift can make their year.
A true piece of TCG history, the Disney Lorcana D23 Expo 2024 Collector’s Set (£350.00) is the ultimate collector’s item. As a rare sealed product, it’s a “grail” for any serious Lorcana fan.
Unfortunately we are sold out of Whispers in the Well products – the latest Lorcana set. But for those eager to dive in, we have a myriad of sealed Booster Boxes; a perfect, main present.
Alternatively, an Into the Inklands Illumineer’s Trove (£45.00) is a great bundle with packs and high-quality accessories.
Join the Community: The Infinity Event (December 12th)
Speaking of Lorcana – before the year is out, we’re hosting a special event to celebrate the game. Join us on Friday, December 12th for our Lorcana Infinity Event. This is a casual, open-play format where you can bring any deck and have some fun. All participants will receive the beautiful alternate-art “A Whole New World” promo card (while supplies last).
It’s a paid event with sign-ups handled in-store, but you can register your interest now on our Events Calendar.
For the One Piece Card Game Player
The One Piece Card Game is renowned for its incredible manga-inspired artwork and valuable, high-rarity cards.
The latest set, Carrying on his Will, introduced a new, ultra-rare card type called the “God Pack Special Rare.” These cards are incredibly difficult to find, and a single like St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro (£450.00) is a true collector’s treasure.
For the player who loves opening packs, a booster box of the new One Piece Card Game – Carrying On His Will – OP-13 Booster Box (£110.00) provides the thrill of the hunt. To help protect their collection, the official One Piece Card Game Playmat and Card Case Set (£45.00) is a stylish and practical gift.
Gifts for Every Budget: The World of Singles
Not every great gift has to be a high-priced sealed box. Sometimes, the perfect present is that one specific card a collector has been searching for. At WLC, we are massively expanding our range of single cards across all TCGs.
This is where visiting us in-store in Margate can be a real treasure hunt. We have binders full of hundreds of cards at all price points, and our new, dedicated card wall showcases some of our best and most interesting singles.
It’s the perfect place to browse and find a unique and thoughtful gift. You can, of course, also browse a huge selection of our singles right here on the website.
For the Fashionable Fan: Loungefly Backpacks
A Loungefly mini backpack is a stylish way for any fan to carry their passion with them.
For a truly festive choice, the Loungefly – Pokémon by Loungefly Mini Backpack Holiday Pikachu (£70.00) is the perfect accessory for the Christmas season.
We have a variety of Pokemon themed bags for fans of all kinds, from a frost and festive Glaceon and an Alolan Vulpix Mini Backpack (£80.00) – to the Loungefly – Pokemon Gengar Mini Backpack (£80.00)
For Every Collector: Essential TCG Accessories
A practical gift is often the most appreciated, and every collector needs high-quality supplies to protect their cards. Earlier this year, we were proud to launch our own line of We Love Collectibles branded TCG accessories. Following our “By Collectors, For Collectors” philosophy, our range includes premium Card Sleeves, Toploaders, and Semi-Rigid Card Holders.
Beyond our own brand, we stock a wide variety of binders from industry leader Vault X, including both 9-pocket and 12-pocket zip binders that are perfect for keeping a collection safe.
For the collector who treasures their graded cards, a Grailguard Slab Bumper makes for a unique gift, adding a colourful protective frame to their prized PSA or ACE graded cards.
