10+ Unique Blade Runner Gift Ideas for Classic Sci-Fi Fans

Blade Runner merch and gift ideas are not that easy to come by, so I thought I would share some of my favorite Blade Runner finds. While the original movie revolutionized the sci-fi genre, and people all around the world had at least heard of the name, it took 35 years until we could see a sequel. Luckily, though, this reignited people’s interested in the original movie — prompting a few products you can still find today.

About Blade Runner

If you’re here, chances are you already know what Blade Runner is. But, just in case you’re hunting for a gift, Blade Runner is a sci-fi film first released in 1982 and directed by Ridley Scott 🔗. The movie, loosely based on Philip K. Dick 🔗‘s 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?“. The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019 where a group of synthetic humans, or replicants, escapes back to Earth. Burnt-out cop Rick Deckard reluctantly agrees to hunt them down.

Blade Runner is known for its stunning visual effects, atmospheric cinematography, and its exploration of themes such as artificial intelligence, morality, and what it means to be human. The film has become a cult classic and has had a significant influence on the science fiction genre, inspiring numerous works in film, literature, and music. So, it’s no surprise many collectors are interested in having items inspired by the movie and its sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
