Baselit or Neopixel as a gift?
If they will duel, choose Baselit. If they will mostly display it or cosplay, Neopixel is the fancier option, and it is best for display and light contact. If you are not sure, Baselit is our most popular choice and the best value. We explain it in the best lightsaber for dueling.

Buying for a child? Read this first
Our sabers are hobby-grade, not toys, and we do not publish a numeric age rating, so you know your child best. If they just want to play, a toy lightsaber from a toy aisle is a perfectly good choice. If they want a saber with a replica look, the Sidekick and our starter lightsabers are good places to look. Add protective gear and supervise at first. Our guide to toy vs hobby lightsabers has the full comparison, and our safe dueling tips cover the basics.
Gift for an adult fan who says they do not want anything
They want a lightsaber. They just do not want to admit it. A character saber, or a display stand for the one they keep hiding in the closet, tends to go over well. Treat them like the adult they are, and let them be a little bit of a nerd about it.
