    21 Gift Ideas For Adults Who Love Toys, Games, Collectibles, And Knickknacks

    Because everyone's basically just a big kid.

    1. A wooden puzzle to build around a luminous globe. It can double as a night light and will look ✨stunning✨ on their desk.

    2. A reversibel roll-up dart board that has magnetic darts and no sharp edges, so they can safely hang it anywhere. Reviewers love how they don't end up with holes in their wall and say the magnets are super strong, too.

    3. A Disney colouring book that has the actual coloured images beside the line drawings, so it'll give them inspiration (and show them how to do it "right" — very important if they're a perfectionist).

    4. A Bluetooth speaker they can create pixel art on with the help of a companion app. The pixels will dance to the tunes they blast, and when they're not using it to play music, they can use it as an alarm clock on their bedside table.

    5. A pack of glow-in-the-dark foam that'll be so satisfying to squish the heck out of. It won't dry out, either, so they can use it as many times as they'd like without worrying about its lifespan.

    6. An Infinity Gauntlet LEGO set that reviewers say is one of the best-looking things they've ever put together. Now, our boi Thanos might not be everyone's jam, but his accessory would make a dope piece of decor for any avid collector or fan.

    7. A Game Boy-inspired AirPods case for the pal who loves old-school gaming. It'll protect their tech from bumps and scratches and has a grippy texture so it won't slip from their grasp. It even works with wireless chargers!

    8. A mini drone set that'll help them dip their toes into the world of RC toys. Reviewers love how easy it is to control and say that it's sturdy enough to withstand a few bumps and scrapes.

    9. A set of lightsaber chopsticks if they're tired of constantly using disposable bamboo ones. Reviewers love that they actually light up, so they'll be able to see what they're munching on during a movie marathon.

    10. A screaming goat for the friend who considers themselves a bit of a memelord and is always spamming the group chat with new annoying memes.

    11. A pack of detailed Hot Wheels if they're big on cars. Each pack varies in assortment, so every set will be different. They also include some models of legit sports cars that one could only wish to own IRL.

    12. A building block mug that'll keep them preoccupied while their beverage cools down. Reviewers say the thick wall keeps drinks warmer than other cups and love how it's compatible with actual LEGO pieces, too.

    13. A mini yule log that'll give them the ambiance and crackling ASMR sounds of a peaceful fire. It's great because it'll feel like they have a little fireplace, but without the whole safety hazard sitch.

    14. A pop-and-push fidget toy that'll be their saving grace when they're feeling bored, nervous, or just unsettled. It also has a little chain so they can hang it on their keys or backpack.

    15. A copy of Marvel Villainous that'll help them embrace the darker side of Marvel by championing its villains. It'll allow them to tap into the powers of Thanos, Hela, Ultron, Taskmaster, and Killmonger to defeat those pesky Avengers once and for all.

    All of the game pieces laid out

    16. A reversible octopus plushie that has a soft smile and an angry alter ego, so they can flip it on either side depending on their mood.

    17. A Nerf gun they can use to wage a war of fun against their friends (or pull a sneak attack on their roommate or partner). The darts are super soft so they won't risk any actual injuries during combat.

    18. A Funko Pop! Vaporeon figurine if they've been trying to catch 'em all since they were a kid.

    19. An animatronic Grogu doll for anyone who's downright obsessed with The Mandalorian (or just loves Baby Yoda memes). It comes with a bowl with tentacles, a cookie, a spoon, and a shifter knob so you can feed him snacks and play around with the Force.

    20. A deck of playing cards that replaces their classic kings and queens with Rey, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and the gang. It also looks a lot cooler than traditional decks, so they'll want to leave it out on display.

    21. And finally, a pack of Avengers Lip Smackers that'll give them a whiff of nostalgia when they put 'em on their lips. More importantly, they'll keep their lips silky-smooth during the dry winter months.

    Adulting doesn't need to be lame.
