Fan Faves: Top 10 Gifts for Criminal Minds Fans
“Criminal Minds” is a procedural police drama that centers around the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) of the FBI which uses profiling and behavioral analysis to find culprits or heinous crimes. Fans love it because of the intense character dynamics, high-paced setting, and amazing performances by the cast.
Join me as we delve into the mind-bending world of this show, as we go through this curated selection of gifts that would thrill any die-hard fan.
Hotch’s Blue Dress Shirt
Everyone in the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is always sharply dressed. Hotch, Prentiss, and Reid, to name a few, all wear dress shirts most of the time because they need to look respectable and formal. In this court scene, when Hotch stands up to a condescending lawyer, he is wearing this impeccable formal Blue Dress Shirt, a suit and a tie.
A shirt like this would be a great gift for a young professional, male or female, and could be used if somebody wanted to dress up like a member of the BAU.
Hotch shows the snarky lawyer what profiling is really about
This is one of the most iconic scenes of the entire show. In the episode “Tabula Rasa” from Season 3, Hotch is testifying in court when a very condescending lawyer tries to disparage his work and the work of the entire BAU. Hotch proceeds to read the lawyer like an open book, drawing conclusions about his entire life.
By doing this, Hotch defends the reputation of the BAU, like any leader would, and shows his own intelligence and capabilities.
Criminal Minds Cast Minimalistic Poster
If you want to gift your loved one a piece of Criminal Minds-inspired art, then this Minimalistic poster might be what you’re looking for. It’s minimalistic, so it’ll fit in with whatever space you want to put it in. Also, it’s printed on high-quality matte paper, and you can choose the exact size you want. It does come without a frame, but you can just buy one from somewhere else, or let the giftee get one on their own so they can choose their preferred style of frame.
Criminal Minds 50-piece Sticker Pack
You know what they say – empty surfaces are just free real estate for stickers. Okay, maybe nobody says that, but they definitely should. What’s better than decorating stuff according to your interests?
This 50-piece sticker Pack includes drawings of all main characters and notable quotes from the show. Stick them on your laptop, water bottle, bullet journal, or anywhere else your heart desires. Gift your loved one these stickers that will remind them of their favorite show and the moments that made it special. Who knows, maybe they’ll even meet another fan in the wild.
Unknown Subject Deduction Game
Unknown Subject is a deduction game based on “Criminal Minds” where you can play as one of the BAU agents and your goal is to build the murderer’s profile and catch him before he strikes again. On the other hand, you can also play as an antagonist, work against the BAU, and try to get away before they realize your true identity. This is a fast-paced game where a round lasts for only around 20 minutes.
The game is full of subtle nods to “Criminal Minds” and would be perfect for any fan of the show. This way they can live out their dreams, pretend they are a part of the team and catch some criminals.
Morgan and Reid Tote Bag
The friendship between Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid (whose outfits, style, and looks we discussed here) is the beating heart of Criminal Minds. These two have truly had a unique dynamic with Morgan taking the role of older brother, guiding Reid and protecting him throughout the show.
If there’s a friend or family member who is as obsessed with this bromance as we are, get them this Tote Bag with the drawings of the two actors. The bag is cute but also serves a great purpose of lugging stuff around. This time, do it with style, and in the company of your favorite characters!
Morgan reveals his son’s name to Reid
Morgan and Reid have one of the best friendships on the show. The two cannot be more different, but they complete each other. Morgan, an experienced field agent takes a protective role towards Reid who is incredibly smart but lacks social skills. Their friendship is characterized by the support they give each other, lighthearted banter, teasing, and a playful dynamic. Even though all the characters on the team are friends, this friendship is truly the heart and soul of the show. After his pregnant girlfriend is shot, Morgan decides to leave the BAU, but not before he reveals that he gave his son the middle named Spencer, after Reid. That always gets me right in the feels!
Emily Prentiss T-shirt
Emily Prentis joined the BAU in Season 2 after the departure of Elle Greenaway and became one of the members to stay the longest. Her wit, snarky attitude and the friendships she forms with the rest of the team cement her as one of the best characters on the whole show. Prentiss is ruthless when it comes to catching unsubs and defending the people she loves, is great under stress, and can pick up even the smallest of clues, making her one of the best profiles on board.
If you have a loved one who is a huge fan of this badass leading lady, they would wear this Emily Prentiss T-shirt every single day. There are sweatshirt and hoodie options too.
Criminal Minds Tumbler
Everyone needs another Tumbler, right? I mean, how are you going to be a drinks goblin if you don’t have a place to store the drink? And this double-walled Criminal Minds Tumbler that can hold both hot and cold liquids and is covered with drawings and quotes from the show – chef’s kiss.
The applications were printed directly on the Tumbler, so they won’t fade or come off. Although, don’t put it in the dishwasher. Fill this up with water, tea, iced coffee (or even wine, if you roll that way), queue up a Criminal Minds episode, and cozy up on the couch. Sounds like a perfect evening to me!
“I’m Busy Solving TV Crimes” Socks
Everyone knows that to watch your favorite show, you need to have some gear on hand. Usually, that’s a blanket, a tumbler for your favorite drink, maybe some snacks, and a very cozy pair of socks. We’ve already covered the tumbler, but now we have a gift recommendation for a perfect pair of socks.
These high-quality, comfortable, and durable Socks that say “Shhh, I’m Busy Solving TV Crimes” are a perfect novelty gift that will keep your loved one warm while they watch their favorite show. These socks will make them all cozy, but also ensure that nobody disturbs them during their favorite activity.
“Smells like Spencer Reid” Candle
Spencer Reid was the breakout character of the show and a huge fan favorite. Everyone loved his character development, quick wit, iconic lines, and generally adorable antics. This is why he is also considered the show’s biggest heartthrob.
If there’s a Spencer Reid fangirlie in your life, why don’t you gift her this “Smells like Spencer Reid” Candle? Okay, maybe it doesn’t truly smell like Reid, but it does have a lovely scent of vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood, and patchouli and a burn time of 40 hours. Nevertheless, a fan of Spencer Reid would for sure appreciate the novelty of it!
“Criminal Minds” Bingo
When you have a show like “Criminal Minds” that has over 300 episodes, you will start to notice some catchphrases, scenes, and tropes that repeat themselves. And how better to take advantage of that than by playing a game of “Criminal Minds” bingo?
With this gift that’s perfect for any fan of the show, you get 10 bingo cards, all with original content. You can play them by yourself to spice up your annual rewatch or organize a watch party and distribute them to your friends. Either way, you do it, you are going to have so much fun!
We recommend:
As that’s a wrap on our journey into the “Criminal Minds” fandom. It’s clear that this show has created a very large and devoted fan base who care about it very much, and the memorabilia they have aren’t just cool collectibles, but reminders of a show that holds a very special place in their hearts.
All of the gifts on this list are awesome and would delight fans, but if you want to see what exact one would suit your loved one the best, why not take a page out of the BAU’s book and profile them? That’s a perfect way to stay in the spirit of “Criminal Minds” while also accomplishing a useful task, and I think your friend or family member would love to hear all about it.
Happy gifting!
