The New York Times recently declared romantasy the genre that has “dominated the literary landscape,” and we couldn’t agree more. But here’s what makes us smile: while the world is just discovering the intoxicating blend of fantasy and romance, Fantasy Gifts NJ has been living in this space for over three decades.
We’ve Always Been in the Business of Fantasy and Romance
Since 1991, Fantasy Gifts NJ has understood something fundamental: fantasy and romance aren’t separate experiences—they’re beautifully intertwined. While BookTok discovers the steaminess of Sarah J. Maas’s fae courts, we’ve been helping customers explore their own fantasies with the perfect blend of imagination and intimacy.
Our shelves have always carried erotica alongside the toys that bring those stories to life. We’ve celebrated the connection between what ignites the mind and what satisfies the body. The opening of our Romantasy Bookstore on September 12th isn’t a departure from our mission—it’s the perfect evolution of what we’ve always believed: that fantasy, romance, and pleasure are meant to dance together.
Where Literary Spice Meets Real-World Adventure
The Times article highlights how romantasy draws from Gothic literature, urban fantasy, and fairy tales—genres that have always understood the power of desire, transformation, and the supernatural. These same themes flow through our curated collection of intimate products, where customers have long explored their own stories of passion and discovery.
Now, with our new romantasy bookstore, we’re creating a complete experience. Read about dragon riders and fated mates, then explore products that help you create your own legendary love story. Discover the latest enemies-to-lovers fantasy, then find the perfect items to turn up the heat in your own romance.
A Legacy of Making Fantasy Accessible
For over 30 years, we’ve worked to destigmatize pleasure and make fantasy accessible to everyone. We’ve trained our staff to be knowledgeable, non-judgmental guides—whether you’re exploring a new toy or seeking your next book boyfriend. Our commitment to education, inclusivity, and empowerment has always been at the heart of what we do.
The romantasy boom proves what we’ve always known: people crave stories that celebrate desire, power, and transformation. They want to escape into worlds where passion is powerful and love conquers all. We’ve been providing the tools for those escapes—both literary and literal—since day one.
The Complete Romantasy Experience
When our bookstore opens in Turnersville, you’ll find:
- Curated Collections: From court intrigue to dragon bonds, we’ll have the books that set hearts racing
- Complementary Products: Because sometimes you want to bring a little of that book magic into your own story
- Expert Recommendations: Our staff understands both genres intimately
- A Judgment-Free Zone: Where literary passion and personal exploration are equally celebrated
Fantasy Has Always Been Our First Name
The Times calls romantasy a “crossover genre,” but we’ve never seen fantasy and romance as separate worlds. They’re two sides of the same coin—both about transformation, desire, and the courage to embrace what makes you feel alive.
Our romantasy bookstore isn’t just an addition to Fantasy Gifts NJ; it’s a homecoming. We’re bringing together the stories that spark imagination with the products that fuel real-world passion, creating a space where fantasy truly comes full circle.
