If you haven’t figured it out yet, Resident Evil 8: Village is a pretty freaking amazing game, but even amazing games come to an end, which is why these Resident Evil 8 gifts might satisfy the thirst that even those vampires yearned for and couldn’t quite quench.
You can repeat a game, but you’ll know how to play it, you’ll know what comes next, you’ll know how to kill things, where the collectibles are, and all that. Everything is still gorgeous and the gameplay is still great, but…it’s all been there done that.
Not only that, but unless you have the Collector’s Edition box to display, you can’t really show it off.
These gifts allow you to proclaim your love for the game itself without having to boot it back up and go through it all over again. And anyone else who notices them–whether they visit or see them carried on your person–might see you as a fellow RE fan and you can gush over the characters and storyline for who knows how long.
So what are you waiting for?
Let’s get to the gifts.
Resident Evil 8 Gifts
Books
Figurines
Jewelry
Maps
A lot of these Resident Evil 8 gifts come from the Collector’s Edition of the game, so if someone wasn’t able to get that specific product, or if they just didn’t want to spend that much money one a certain thing, the solo products are mentioned below as gifts to spend on yourself or others.
Aside from them, I tried to list a couple other products that didn’t revolve solely around Lady Dimitrescu.
Boy was that difficult, because everyone loves the tall lady.
Here’s hoping everyone loves the rest of these Resident Evil 8 gifts as well.
64-Page Hardcover Art Book
- For lovers of the game’s artistic value
- Comes with the Collector’s Edition of the game
I’m always a fan of the art of video games that comes within the art books, and Resident Evil Village is no exception–especially with the character models they’ve chosen for the bosses.
Perhaps not so much for the minions, but their concept art might be cool in their own right.
But the backgrounds and areas for where things take place? I’m sure they look amazing in this book once you open the pages, so if you’re a fan of art and not just the end result of what you see in the game itself, this might be one of the better gifts to peruse in your free time.
Chris Redfield Figure
- He’s Chris Redfield, what’s not to love?
- Comes with the Collector’s Edition of the game
He’s got that cocky pose down, doesn’t he? And a somewhat menacing look, too. What’s even more menacing is the gun in his hand, though. It’d be nice if he could put it down. Maybe upgrade it with one of the other ones that comes in the equipment case with the Village of Shadows down below?
Surely he has the funds for it.
Lady Dimitrescu Figurine
- Umbrella Corp logo is separate for her to stand on
- Support a newer creator
- Might be flaws in the design
She might not look the best and most smoothed out in her fashionable dress, but let’s say she’s had a long day of chasing Ethan throughout her castle. You might also see a few other flaws in this design, such as her flower not looking quite as in full bloom, or the blood on the claws being a bit too faded.
But I wanted to put this product on here, because this Lady Dimitrescu figurine is created by someone who is new to creating art like this, and I really enjoy putting the spotlight on new and upcoming creators.
Especially because this looks really good for someone who’s starting out.
Buy their product, leave a review, give them some tips, and watch them grow and become even better in their art.
Wonderful figure! Very pleased, carefully wrapped. Thank you!

Miniature Equipment & Village of Shadows
- Village of Shadows is based on the in-game book
- Great mini figurine Resident Evil collector’s set
- Village of Shadows is not a book for babies
- Was exclusive to Japan
- You’ll basically only find it on reseller sites at this point
It’s always kind of upsetting to see a book in a game that you really love, but never being able to actually read it or look at the pictures in full. What’s super cool about this little package here is that you get the Village of Shadows book, which is shown at the beginning of Resident Evil 8: Village, and features 30 pages of art in storybook form.
As far as the miniature equipment and other objects from Resident Evil Village–I think the weaponry would go well sitting next to Chris Redfield figurines.
And the other iconic figures?
Well, those just prove you’re a fan of the game. Just don’t break the goat this time around.
Resident Evil Village Characters Print
- Large cast of recognizable characters
- Oh look, Ethan’s hand
- I don’t believe it shows all the crucial characters
You have to admit, the best part about this artwork is Ethan’s hand reaching out. I’m kind of disappointed it looks whole and intact though. That thing’s been through so much.
I’m actually kind of hoping someone’s made an Ethan Winter’s hand.
It’s a shame that not all of the main characters are noted within the artwork, however. Such as Mother Miranda and the dollmaker. (Although I would have nightmares while drawing that doll.)
Some of the characters you have to think about or are left scratching your head on.
Reversible Microfiber Cloth Map
- Loving the stylistic view of the map
- Very detailed
- Came with the Collector’s Edition of the game
- Bird’s eye view over the entirety of The Village
I’ll admit, I was a little salty with thinking they only gave us the map for The Village and not any other location we visit within the game, because hey, The Village was the main hub, and that place was difficult to navigate. It was bloody confusing, even when looking at the map, because half of those alleyways were not accessible and blocked off, but that’s not actually the case with this map.
Instead, it’s more of a bird’s eye view over everything, so we don’t get a close-up of all the locations as if we were in-game.
Maybe that’s how you like it, maybe not–I think it’s fantastic to look at either way, because the detail is inspiring in such a small scale.
Plus, I love these old-time looking maps that lack color.
Not everything needs to be in color.
Steelbook
- Beautiful cover design of a…fetus baby with wings
- Came with the Collector’s Edition of the game
For those who enjoy collecting steelbooks, but weren’t able to grab the Collector’s Edition, or just didn’t want to buy it for whatever reason, you might be able to get the case at a relatively decent price.
Hopefully.
Twitch Emotes
- Perfect for Resident Evil streamers
- Other people are able to purchase the same emotes
If you’re a fan of the Resident Evil games, then you might already have some Resident Evil Twitch emotes, but if you don’t, then there’s no better ones to start with than some Lady Dimitrescu Twitch emotes capturing her prey or of her daughter’s diabolical laughter.
Sexy psycho vamps are always a welcome sight in almost any stream.
Unless your name’s Ethan and you’re being hunted by them.
Vampire Daughter Necklace
- Lovely handmade necklace replica
- Probably heavier than a 3D printed necklace
This is one of those Resident Evil 8 gifts to give someone if they’re wanting to be like one of them lovely vampire ladies who…weren’t…actually…vampire ladies at all. They were kind of made up of flies. Angry flies. That demanded blood.
I feel like mosquitos maybe would’ve made more sense, but we won’t get into it.
This necklace is either a perfect cosplay piece to those wanting to become one of Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters, or someone wanting a special heirloom piece of one of theirs to show their love of the vampire ladies.
my necklace arrived and it’s really cool! can’t wait to do this cosplay!

In conclusion…
I honestly didn’t find too many products to place on this page that didn’t circulate around the one tall lady that everyone seems to drool over. I wanted it to revolve around things from the game as a whole and not just around one iconic figure.
That’s what other specific posts are for, after all.
So if I find anything else revolving around anything related to Resident Evil 8: Village that’s worthy of this post, I’ll make sure to slap it on here.
