Gift ideas for Stranger Things fans
The ultimate buying guide for fans of the Upside Down
Published:
Stranger Things is over for another year, and we might have to wait a while to see what’s next for Eleven and co and resolve that post-credit scene.
But if there’s a person in your life who can’t get enough of demorgogons, the Upside Down and 80s nostalgia, take a look below for some Stranger Things inspired merchandise may make that wait a little less painful.
Expect some 80s themed packaging…
Winter Warmers
Stringer Things Hoodie
Season 3 may have been set in summer but this ET-inspired merchandise is the perfect winter companion. This handprinted cotton hoodie is available in a variety of colours and certain to keep out the chill of the Upside-Down.
Role-playing fun
Stranger Things Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set
For those curious about Will’s favourite game which originated the name of the Domogorgon and Mind Flayer, look no further. This starter set includes a campaign created by Mike in the show, two demogorgon figurines and six dice all in a retro 80s packaging. Just be careful what you wish for…
Buildable thrills
Upside down Lego set
You know a franchise has made it when it gets its own lego set. The Upside Down lego set recreates the Byers’ home in both the real world and with the Upside Down version below, along with all they key Season One characters, Hopper’s truck and a light-up wall. Could have done without a lego demogorgon though…
For the board gamer…
Monopoly Stranger Things Edition
If role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons aren’t your thing, then this special edition of Monopoly is for you. Including key locations such as Hawkins National Laboratory and The Upside Down, as well as, er, Steve’s pool, this will entertain fans of the show and Monopoly alike.
For the collector…
Steve Pop! Vinyl Figure
Pop! continue their quest to make figures of every TV and movie character ever, including a new wave of Stranger Things season 3 Funko Pops such as Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington in his iconic Scoops Ahoy outfit. Also available are new variants of Eleven, Billy and even a rather terrifying demogorgon figure.
Light up
Friends Don’t Lie Mug
There are several Stranger Things mugs available, but this one looks suitably Christmassy even if it is a tad similar to the logo of the Friends TV show. The mug features Joyce Byers’ iconic Christmas list alphabet, which when filled with hot water lights up with Eleven’s quote ‘friends don’t lie’. Nifty.
One for the wall…
Stranger Things Cast Signed Poster
While this sadly doesn’t come with the frame, this A4 or A3 80s inspired season three poster features the signatures of the entire cast from Winona Ryder to Millie Bobby Brown. Signed print posters of the first two seasons are available too, perfect for the bedroom walls of the young or young-at-heart.
Stuck in the Upside Down Drinking Bottle
This cleverly-designed drinking bottle is reusable, meaning you can help the environment as well as show off your passion for Stranger Things.
Enter if you dare…
Stranger Things Doormat
Give a friend or family’s doorstep some personality with this licensed Stranger Things doormat, sure to make all their neighbours jealous and warn humans and demogorgons alike that your house is in the Upside Down.
Nostalgic Night Light
