The best gifts for Hunger Games fans this year start with Sunrise on the Reaping, the newest book, before the movie opens on November 20, 2026. After that come the 5-book box sets, the films, and a few officially licensed Mockingjay pieces. Every product here is official, and every detail comes from the product's Amazon listing, checked on November 6, 2026.

The short list. For a reader, Sunrise on the Reaping. For someone starting the series, the 5-book paperback box set. For a stocking, the NECA Mockingjay pin.

Costumes for the premiere

  • The Rubies Haymitch Abernathy costume is officially licensed and based on his outfit in Sunrise on the Reaping: a printed shirt with attached jacket panels and elastic-waist pants.
  • The Rubies Katniss Everdeen costume is based on her look in Mockingjay Part 1. It includes the top with attached armor, pants with knee and shin guards, and a Mockingjay pin, but not the boots or bow.

Sizing: Rubies says its costumes run smaller than regular clothes. Check the size chart on Amazon.

FAQ

What are good gifts for Hunger Games fans?

Start with the books: Sunrise on the Reaping is the newest, and the 5-book box sets hold every novel. Movie fans get the 4-film collection or The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. For small gifts, the NECA Mockingjay pin and the Loungefly mystery pins are officially licensed, and so are the Mockingjay water bottle and T-shirt from Lionsgate.

When does Sunrise on the Reaping come out in theaters?

The movie opens in theaters on November 20, 2026. The book it is based on is already out, so a copy makes a good gift before the release.

Which Hunger Games box set should I buy?

For a new reader, the 5-book paperback set covers all five novels for the least shelf space. For a collector, the 5-book hardcover set or the Deluxe Edition. Check that a set includes Sunrise on the Reaping: older 3-book and 4-book sets do not.

Is there official Hunger Games merch?

Yes. Lionsgate licenses The World of The Hunger Games line (the Mockingjay bottle and shirts here), NECA makes the film prop replica pin, Loungefly the mystery pins, Rubies the costumes, Trends International the Sunrise on the Reaping poster and Scholastic publishes the books. Many Mockingjay pins on Amazon are unofficial, so look for the maker's name.

What Hunger Games costume can I wear to the movie?

Rubies sells an officially licensed Haymitch Abernathy costume based on his look in Sunrise on the Reaping, and a licensed Katniss costume based on Mockingjay Part 1 that includes a Mockingjay pin. Rubies notes its costumes run smaller than regular clothes, so check the size chart.
