Stocking Stuffers
1 – Disney Villain Socks
While we didn’t love them as kids, socks have a whole new appeal now that we’re all grown up – especially when the socks are as cute as these! Show off your love of your favorite Disney Villain with these ankle socks. You can also find the child-sized princess version for the little princesses on your holiday shopping list.
2 – Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook
Ever had a craving for that perfect Disney churro when you’re miles away from The Magic Kingdom? What about a Dole Whip? This delicious cookbook lets you bring your favorite Disney treats home to your kitchen with 100 recipes both savory and sweet. It’s a great gift idea for anyone who loves to spend time in the kitchen!
3 – Beauty and the Beast Pink Enchanted Rose Necklace
For the jewelry-lovers out there, there are certainly a lot of options! We really like this Beauty and the Beast-inspired heart necklace complete with the Enchanted Rose! It’s just the right kind of subtle that keeps it from being too cartoonish while still keeping with the motif.
4 – Mickey Mouse Fidget Toy
One of the biggest crazes this year has been pop-it fidget toys. Essentially reusable bubble wrap made out of silicone, these popping fidget toys are everywhere. Why not pick up this four-pack of Mickey Mouse-shaped ones for stocking stuffers? They are great for kids and for adults who need some way to keep their hands busy while at work.
5- Mickey Mouse Mug
How cute is this oversized Mickey Mouse mug? The classic design makes a great statement piece for morning coffee – or to sit on an office desk – to show that Mickey love.
6- Colourpop Disney Make-up Palettes
Disney has had many collaborations over the years, including several from Colourpop Cosmetics. In addition to this Princess themed palette, they’ve also created a “Misunderstood” Disney Villains-inspired collection and several based on specific characters like Bambi. The pigment is vibrant and blends well (a must if you’re looking for good eyeshadow). It makes a great gift idea for those who like a little sparkle and glam.
7 – Disney Villain Pop Socket
Versatile, surprisingly useful, and most of all cute. Pop Sockets are a great, small gift that is good for just about anyone. These small plastic circles attach to the back of your phone case via adhesive and give both a stand and a steady grip on your device. This one is a great choice for Maleficent fans (which – who isn’t?)
Not really into villains? Not to worry! You’ll find endless Pop Socket options online.

You’ll never be too old to play with LEGO, right? This Boba Fett helmet is part of LEGO’s black box series, which is a little more upscale than some of the more kid-friendly sets. Once you’ve had the fun of putting it together, it makes a fun collectible any Star Wars fan will love to display!
11 – Disney Loungefly Bags
Loungefly is a well-established brand when it comes to cute, quality bags. Their mini-backpacks – like this Sweet Shop-themed Mickey Ear backpack – are perfect for a stroll around the Magic Kingdom and an afternoon out with friends. Loungefly has a bag for just about everything, including Pixar’s Up, Cinderella, and even Hocus Pocus!
These are always collector’s items so when a style sells out – it’s gone!
12 – Luke Skywalker Lightsaber Chopsticks
Trust us on this one. Every Star Wars fan wants a lightsaber – even if it’s better suited for picking up sushi than slaying Sith across the galaxy. This set is made from food-safe plastic and is officially licensed by Kotobukiya.
13 – Marvel Glass Set
For something a little more grown-up, you may want to consider a set of these glasses etched with Marvel superhero emblems. The design is sleek and perfectly suited for a cocktail or a few fingers of whiskey.

Published just in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary, this coffee table book is filled with stories, photographs, and behind-the-scenes moments highlighting the construction of Walt’s beloved “Florida Project.” It’s a book that every Disney lover will cherish.
15 – Villainous Strategy Game
For someone who loves board games and Disney, look no further than Villainous. This asymmetrical board game lets you play as one of Disney’s iconic villains (think Cruella, Ursula, or Maleficent) against one another as you all battle for domination. We’ve talked about Villainous (and its many expansions) before. It really is that much fun!
16 – Corksicle Disney Tumbler
Take your drink – and your love of Mickey Mouse – on the go with this cute red polka-dot tumbler. It’s classic Minnie Mouse and stylish to boot!

Do you have a cheese lover on your holiday shopping list? This super cute swivel-style circular cheese board comes with four assorted full-tang these tools tucked inside. The hardwood top shows the Eiffel Tower and Ratatouille’s Remy along with the words “Remy in Paris.” It’s a great centerpiece to any wine and cheese night in.

This 8 piece set comes with four storage containers and four lids, each depicting the adorable green alien having a snack of his own. We love this set and highly recommend it as a versatile kitchen staple.
