Doctor Who has built an incredible legacy on screen, spanning 60 years and multiple regenerations. With each new iteration of the ever-changing Doctor, not to mention their plucky travelling companions, the BBC sci-fi show has won over countless generations of fans.

There was peak Doctor Who excitement when Ncuti Gatwa finally arrived as the Fifteenth Doctor on the BBC and Disney+, alongside Millie Gibson as his companion, Ruby Sunday. He's since been joined by Andor's Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra.

With season two having come to a close, featuring the unexpected return of an iconic companion, it's the perfect time to shop for a gift for the Doctor Who fan in your life, and we've found some of the best merch around.

Looking ahead, there's more excitement for Whovians on the horizon, because we're also getting a UNIT-focused show spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea.

Whovians are deeply loyal to the Doctor's story, invested in every quirk and narrative twist that comes with each incarnation – and that's true whether you're a classic fan or you jumped on board for the modern revival.

Even if you're not a Doctor Who fan yourself, you probably know someone who is – and if you don't watch the show, it might make it tricky to figure out what to buy for the Whovian in your life.

Enter Digital Spy. We've got you covered with all of the best Doctor Who merch and gifts you could shake a replica sonic screwdriver at.

We're talking everything from Blu-ray box sets and replica sonic screwdrivers to scarves, board games, hoodies, books and more...

Dive into our pick of the Whoniverse paraphernalia below – because as we know, The Doctor loves a little shop...
