The Best 'No Time To Die' Gift Ideas for James Bond Fans
For the 007 obsessive in your life
James Bond wouldn't be caught dead buying most James Bond merch. It's almost uniformly naff – all tuxedo t-shirts and golden gun cigar lighters that'll have you pinned to the station floor faster than you can scream "see it, say it, sorted".
But in the wake of No Time To Die, the 007 merch machine has gone into overdrive, moving away from the usual stuff and ushering in seriously cool, elegant, international-spy-worthy stuff that Daniel Craig actually wore in the movie. You've long been able to buy James Bond's watch, his car and his beer (cheers, Heineken), but now you can wear his driving gloves, his knitwear, his combat boots and even the trousers he wears to invade a secret island. Bond has got much cooler over recent years, and now his disciples can up their style game, too.
Leica Q2 007 Edition Camera
Limited to just 200 pieces, Leica's new 007 edition of its fantastic Q2 point-and-shoot digital camera features the 007 logo on the top-plate and the iconic gun-barrel swirl on the lens cap.

Bella Freud T-Shirt
Safe to say that Bond probably wouldn't wear this out on manoeuvres, but it's as cool as a James Bond graphic tee is ever going to get. Hit the link to explore Bella Freud's full 007-inspired collection.

Omega Seamaster 300M 007 Edition
Globetrotter 007 Luggage
We always thought Bond only travelled with a selection of passports and a long list of scores to settle, but the latter-day version is a proper style guy, so he needs some way to transport it all. Step forward Globetrotter's No Time To Die collection. The elegant cases are realised in Ocean Green Vulcanised Fibreboard with a black leather trim, and each is equipped with a 007-etched plate and edition number.

Danner 007 Tanicus Boots
As one of the most reliable names in outdoor equipment, it's no surprise the movie's costume department turned to Danner when Bond needed the perfect pair of combat boots. Tough, durable and incredibly sleek, they give bond all the performance (and style) he could ever want.

Crockett & Jones Shoes
A shoe more than fit for Bond, Crockett & Jones's James lace-up represents the pinnacle of shoemaking prowess. Cut from the finest box calf leather and equipped with a hand-grade sole, each pair is subtly embossed with the 007 logo, and arrives in special edition packaging.

The James Bond Collection
Don’t worry, Alan: blu-ray discs are relatively safe from Sunny D sabotage. Nothing will stand in the way of you and a full 24 film binge of every Bond film ever made (bar Never Say Never, Sean Connery’s unofficial entry into the franchise.) The monochrome case looks almost as impressive as the HD-quality restoration, and all 24 films are available for digital download.

N. Peal Combat Trousers
Colonel Sun (A James Bond Adventure) – Kingsley Amis
Kingsley Amis wrote this, the first James Bond novel not penned by Ian Fleming, almost 51 years ago under the pseudonym Robert Markham. That's not the only reason it's notable, though: Amis introduces a more emotionally vulnerable Bond, with The Chicago Tribune book reviewer SK Oberbeck noting that the celebrated Lucky Jim author turned Bond into something he had never previously been: "a man with a job."
