The time has come to bid farewell to Stranger Things, and fans of the ’80s-set Netflix hit (aka us) might be looking to fill the three-year-long void in their lives with some Stranger Things merch—especially as the final season’s second installment drops on Christmas Day. Thankfully, we found tons of giftable items to make your Christmas shopping feel less like a trip to the Upside Down and more like a lovely stroll through the Starcourt Mall (before it was destroyed, of course).

When it comes to gifts for the Stranger Things fan, your best bet is to scout out merch that references Easter eggs like Scoops Ahoy, Surfer Boy Pizza, the Hellfire Club, or WSQK radio station. It also wouldn't hurt to shop collaborations from popular brands like Wrangler, Coleman, Squishmallows, and more. These Stranger Things gifts are guaranteed to impress those who know their Demogorgons from their Mind Flayers from their Vecnas.
