Welp, we’ve all been avoiding the inevitable for a while now. When people bring it up, we change the subject. When headlines reference it, we scroll right on by. But with May 19 fast approaching, we can no longer deny that the end of Game of Thrones is upon us. It goes without saying, but we’re not ready.
If you’re a mom who’s mourning that impending end like we are, you might need a few gifts to help you get through. The following picks should fill the Westeros-sized hole that will surely be left in your heart once Game of Thrones goes off the air.
Personalized doormat
Make both your bloodline and your fandom readily apparent to all who enter your home with this personalized coir doormat.
Sansa soy candle
What does a Sansa Stark-inspired candle smell like, you ask? Peonies, lemon cakes and Winterfell, of course! And while the Seven Kingdoms are undeniably cruel, these soy candles are decidedly not — they’re made using 100 percent natural, eco-friendly, vegan materials.

This feminized muscle tank featuring the Night’s Watch oath will make you feel like you’re channeling Jon Snow any day of the week. Plus, let’s be real: We’re down to wear anything with a direwolf on it.
Mother of Dragons tumbler
This isn’t just any tumbler. This tumbler has scales — scales that subtly shimmer and shift colors in the light, just like a dragon. There couldn’t be a more fitting chalice for a modern mother of dragons.
Vintage playing cards
The next time you pull out a deck of cards to play a round of poker with friends, let it be these. Works of art unto themselves, every card features an illustrated GoT character. Each of the four suits represents the four main houses of Westeros: Lannister (diamonds), Targaryen (clubs), Baratheon (hearts) and Stark (spades). Brilliant!
