What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. An Infinity Gauntlet LEGO set that reviewers say is one of the best-looking ones 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).
2. 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.
3. A graphic novel scratch-off poster so they can keep track of which ones they've already read. It's got all the classics (hello, Sin City!), plus plenty of other cool titles if they're starved for new reading material.
4. A Baby Yoda print if your friend is still obsessed with The Mandalorian. Reviewers say the print is super vibrant and comes carefully packaged so it won't get creased before you get a chance to gift it.
5. A sword-shaped tea infuser that'll be the perfect accompaniment to their knightly cup. It's even got a handy hilt to protect their fingers from getting scalded by boiling water (and to make removal easier, obvi).
6. A Harry Potter Deathly Hallows PopSocket that'll make it easier for them to grip their device (because phones only seem to be getting bigger these days). The top's swappable, too, so they can always change it out if they're craving a new ~vibe~.
7. A USB-powered laser projector that'll light up their gaming room with a galaxy of starlight. Reviewers love using it as ambient lighting for gaming or marathoning their fave T.V. shows.
8. A set of Gravity Falls stickers for anyone who's still keeping their fingers crossed for more seasons. They're totally waterproof and durable enough to slap onto skateboards, laptops, or coffee mugs.
9. An NSFW edition of Exploding Kittens that'll be instantly recognizable to any avid boardgamers. It has the same rules as the original, with the fun addition of a few (okay, more than a few) naughty additions. Bring on the boob wizards!
10. A Star Trek communicator badge that's *almost* as useful as the real thing. It'll play the iconic Star Trek ComBadge chirp when pressed and is actually Bluetooth-enabled, which means they can use it as an actual communicator.
11. A set of glowing coasters that'll help them spot their drink in a dimly-lit room. Reviewers love that the lights are bright enough to visible (even in the daytime!) and say they're pretty dang easy to clean, too.
12. A copy of Vader's Little Princess for any die-hard fans looking for a lil' parental guidance. It tells the hilarious story of Darth and his precocious young daughter (and all the trials and tribulations associated with raising the future leader of the rebellion).
13. A pair of Rick & Morty Pickle Rick socks that'll keep their tootsies cozy. Reviewers say they're pretty dang stretchy, which means they won't pinch or squeeze in all the wrong places.
14. 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 it's sturdy enough to withstand a few bumps and scrapes.
15. A Game Boy-inspired AirPod case for the pal who's nostalgic for 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, too!
16. A book of useless information for the friend who loves spouting off random facts. It's chock-full of info like outlandish laws, biggest Hollywood blunders, and tons more stuff that'll help them prepare for their next trivia night.
17. A set of light saber chopsticks if they're tired of constantly using the disposal bamboo versions. Reviewers love that they actually light up, so they'll actually be able to see what they're munching on when the lights are off (for movie marathons, ofc).
18. A LEGO-inspired storage brick so they can finally have a place to stash all their sets. Like the OG toy it's inspired by, you can stack 'em and rearrange them a hundred different times.
19. A Razer Death Adder Elite Esports gaming mouse that's basically the Ferrari of gaming mice. It's perfect for vanquishing their online enemies or just making sure you snag that online sale item before it sells out. SPEEDY.
20. A National Geographic Geodes Discovery set so they can tap into their inner geologist. Each set contains a collection of hand-selected (and totally unique) geodes they'll get to smash open and discover.
21. A 3D night light that'll look like art on their nightstand. It's bright enough to illuminate their path to the bathroom if they get up for a midnight tinkle, but can be dimmed down if they prefer to sleep in a darker room.
22. A set of Harry Potter-inspired makeup brushes that'll help them work some artistic magic. Reviewers say the bristles are super soft and blend shadows, creams, and powders like a dream!
23. This Pac-Man Connect and Play-12 set for anyone looking to relive the glory days of video games. All they'll need to do is plug the controller directly into their T.V. to enjoy 12 classic games, including (obviously) the original Pac-Man.
24. A nostalgia T-shirt that'll remind them of the good old days of VHS tapes, cassettes, and floppy disks. Nothing sounded more like Friday night in the '90s than rewinding a VHS rental from Blockbuster!
25. A Back to the Future vanity plate that'll make them go, "Great Scott!" Reviewers love that it looks a real license plate, complete with reflective "registration" stickers.
26. A set of Dungeons & Dragons bestiary notebooks that'll help them prepare for whatever they happen across on their next quest. They're perfect for jotting down campaign notes or gifting to an entire gaming group.
27. A Supernatural-inspired hoodie if they're a die-hard fan of T.V's longest-running sci-fi show (🤯). Reviewers say it's super comfy and love that it holds up in the wash — so unlike Sam and Dean's struggle with the forces of evil, your gift won't cause never-ending problems.
28. A pair of extra-large (and extra in-charge) blue light glasses if your friend spends most of their days behind a screen. Reviewers say they're surprisingly lightweight and noticed an immediate improvement in headaches.
29. A set of Harry Potter-themed necklaces for any would-be witch or wizard on your list. Gift the whole set, split them up and give to a group of friends, or even keep one (or two) for yourself.
I'd call these gifts pretty specDORKular!
