There Is Much More to the Gift Galadriel Gives Gimli in ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ Than You Know
Galadriel gifting Gimli three strands of her hair in The Lord Of The Rings has great significance, both symbolically and historically.
The Lord of the Rings is filled with heartwarming moments, but one of the best didn't make it into the theatrical cut of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Upon their departure from Lothlórien, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) gives each member of the Fellowship a special gift to aid in their journey, except for Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). For him, she gives three strands of her hair, making for a moment that, for those who aren't familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien lore, may seem weird, but that carries a lot of personal significance for both of them and Tolkien's whole Legendarium.
