19 Best Roald Dahl Gifts For Fans of All Ages

We once gifted this to my son’s teacher and it was a total hit—crafted from actual Roald Dahl book pages, this apple-shaped decoration is both literary and heartfelt. You can even add a custom message on the leaf, making it ideal for end-of-year or Roald Dahl Day surprises.

We’ve had this hanging in our playroom for years. It’s bold, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable. If your kids love the original film (or even the newer version), this poster brings a splash of Wonka magic to any space.

This quote—“If you have good thoughts…”—was one of the first framed prints we added to our reading nook. The hand-lettered style feels warm and personal, and it’s a sweet reminder of the positivity that runs through Dahl’s work.

We took this Roald Dahl game on a road trip and it became an instant favorite. It’s packed with fun facts about Dahl’s characters and is a great way to sneak in some reading while still feeling like play. Ideal for siblings or classmate gift swaps too.

This book lives up to its name—it's gloriously gross. Kids will love the weird textures (think scratchy rats and slimy things), and it’s a perfect sensory pick for early readers who aren’t quite ready for full chapter books.

When my son was a toddler, this was one of the few books we didn’t mind reading over and over. It’s colorful, clever, and a gentle intro to the world of shapes through characters like the BFG and Matilda. Great baby shower or preschooler gift.

This one’s packed with little puzzles, tricks, and “genius” tips—very Matilda. My son spent hours trying to stump us with some of the brain teasers. It’s especially great for kids who love outsmarting the grown-ups (in a good way!).

Add our Matilda coloring page too!

If you already have a Toniebox, this character tile brings Matilda’s story to life with narration that’s actually enjoyable to listen to (even on repeat). It’s been a favorite quiet-time activity in our house and makes a nice screen-free storytelling option.

We used this during winter break last year, and it kept the festive chaos fun and creative. Full of crafts, recipes, and jokes, it’s perfect for kids who love hands-on activities and want a Dahl-inspired spin on the holidays.

This joke book is a go-to for car rides and lunchbox laughs. Some jokes are genuinely clever, others gloriously groan-worthy—but all very Dahl. We’ve ended up memorizing a few just from hearing them so often.

Why not add a handmade Roald Dahl bookmark to color in too for a personalized treat.

This has been one of the easiest ways to get reluctant writers laughing. We pull it out when we want a quick giggle, and it always leads to silly stories and a little healthy competition over who can come up with the wildest word choices.

These are more than just cute—my son actually learned card games using this deck. The illustrations are fun, and the quality holds up. Great stocking stuffer or party favor for any little bookworm.

These socks were a fun surprise for my daughter, who’s been obsessed with the movie. They’re soft, cozy, and feature iconic moments from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Perfect for kids who want to wear their favorite story on their feet—plus, who doesn’t love fun socks?

We read this aloud during storytime, and it quickly became a family favorite. The twisted fairy tales are funny and a bit dark—perfect for kids who appreciate a healthy dose of humor mixed with the unexpected. Plus, Quentin Blake’s illustrations bring the whole thing to life.

This one is great for older kids who enjoy a good chill—but not too scary. The stories are spooky yet fun, and we’ve made it a yearly Halloween tradition. If your child loves a bit of suspense without the nightmares, this is perfect.

This one’s perfect for fans of the spooky Witches book. We’ve used it for everything from rainy afternoons to Halloween fun. It’s a great way for kids to create silly, unexpected stories—and a fantastic way to sneak in a little language practice.

If you’ve got a mini chef at home, this cookbook is a fun way to tie Roald Dahl’s world to real-life cooking. We’ve made a few of the recipes (like the chocolate mousse), and the results were deliciously gross in the best way. It’s a fun way to bond over something messy and creative.

This tin storage box is a great keepsake for any BFG fan. It’s sturdy, has a classic embossed cover, and is perfect for storing treasures, stationery, or even snacks. I’ve used it as a gift wrap for other Roald Dahl-themed goodies, making it part of a themed gift set.

We’ve used this Mad Libs book during family game nights and it never gets old. It’s a fun way to explore the bizarre world of Roald Dahl while getting kids to think about language and creativity. The goofy stories are sure to lead to lots of laughs!
