Weapon Replicas
The Halo franchise has built up a unique arsenal of weaponry over the years that loyal fans have kept up with and created their own replicas. Some of which are for sale and a great gift for mega Halo fans.
Etsy.com has a wide array of fan-made Halo gun replicas for sale that you could gift to a friend/loved one for them to display and collect. This foam 1:1 scale Covenant Plasma Rifle, for example, looks cool and is relatively inexpensive. There are much more detailed and lifelike choices, too, if you’re willing to step up your budget.
Even Walmart is getting in on the action. They are selling this BOOMco Halo Convenant Needler Blaster that actually fires Nerf style! It currently has 5 stars with 71 reviews, so it sounds like it might work pretty good, too. Alternatively, you could also pick this and other similar items up from the official Halo Waypoint store, but it might be a little more expensive.
Apparel, Jewelry, and Accessories
If you want to go the clothing/jewelry route, you have lots to choose from. ThinkGeek has a pretty dope messenger bag for sale, perfect for carrying some books or a tablet. It’s a little pricey but if someone is a big fan, it would be a great gift.
The official Halo Waypoint Store, has a ton of accessories to choose from, as well. There are hats, wallets, keychains, jewelry lanyards, and more. All of which are pretty fairly priced, at least in comparison to most official stores. Visit the store and just click through the accessory page to see if there’s anything that appeals to you.
Finally, you could always go the t-shirt/hoodie route. Once again, the Waypoint Store has plenty to choose from for officially licensed stuff, such as this zip-up for only $30.00 (as of this writing). Redbubble has a lot more variety and is also worth a look, as well.
Figurines
Halo figures vary greatly from the small, neat, and affordable, to the crazy, out of this world expensive. There are plenty of regular ol’ action figures to choose from places like Walmart and ThinkGeek.
If you want to go up a level in price, you could check out eBay for sturdier, bigger, and pricier statues; like this Halo Reach Noble Team Statue. Do you really love your friend or spending copious amount of money? Get them this full scale replica of Spartan Locke’s helmet for the low, low price of $650.
Peripherals
Being one of Xbox’s flagship exclusive franchises since the inception of the brand essentially, there have been plenty of Halo-themed peripherals that have been released throughout the years. As of this writing, GameStop still has the limited edition Halo 5 controller in stock. If it sells out, eBay and Amazon are your next best places to look.
Astro has a Halo 5 themed gaming headphone for sale, but it may be pricey for some at around ~$250-$300. Still, you get what you pay for, and it looks amazing. Finally, if you have a Halo fan that’s still stuck in the last generation, bail them out with the Halo 5 Limited Edition Xbox One bundle, which is on sale for $449.99 from GameStop as of this writing.
Books and Media
The Halo series has a pretty complicated story that can be very difficult to follow if all you’re doing is playing the games. A lot of the series’ lore is tucked away in its expanded media. Barnes and Noble has a boxed set of early books which include Contact Harvest, The Cole Protocol, and The Ghost of Onyx. Refer to this page here though if you want to look for something in a specific part of the timeline.
Any mega Halo fan would also appreciate seeing the surprisingly well done Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn mini series. Make sure to get that out in front of them if they haven’t seen it already.
