1. A Nightmare Before Christmas mini cross-stitch kit for any crafty human who would love nothing more than to *live like Jack and Sally* and take a mental break from their real life.
Promising review: "This is a great kit perfect for any cross-stitch or Nightmare Before Christmas fan. It contains a booklet with instructions and four patterns, the needed thread, three pieces of canvas, the holder and two needles. It's a really awesome set. The instructions were easy to follow, and I managed to already finish one of the designs." —witchykitty39
Get it from Amazon for $6.72.
2. Family Feud: Disney Edition, filled with 400 Disney questions for the family who is constantly arguing over who really deserves the title of "Biggest Fan." Think you're ready to take on everyone and anyone? Survey says... yes!
3. The Magical World of Disney Trivia game — a must-have for any Disney family who thinks they know all there is to know about every film.
Promising review: "This is a really nice game for Disney fans. The box comes well packed with dedicated spots for all of the pieces. (Hint: take a picture of the full box to save yourself a minute or two for the first few games!) From the box itself to the board to all of the 3D elements and cards, everything is beautifully designed, and the insert holds everything perfectly. The game can be played over and over, with 2,000 total trivia questions. I love the fact that there are two decks of cards, one visual for the kids. My kid excelled at picking out who was who from the cards (the questions are specifics about those characters), whereas the adults mostly did better with written questions. You can switch it up, too, if the written trivia questions are too hard. This makes for a fun game night for Disney fans of all ages." —M. Fisher

4. A Melissa & Doug Disney Snacks and Popcorn Stand every child is going to be absolutely begging for this holiday season — and for good reason! It'll bring all the fun of snacking at the Parks to their imaginative at-home play. You won't be able to resist joining in on the magic.
I hunted this item down for my son for Christmas this year, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it's because I desperately want to play with it myself. Check it out in all its glory on TikTok.
Promising review: "This has to be one of the cutest play sets I’ve seen. The Disney cart is perfect and the kids absolutely love it already!" —Lwargin
Get it from Target for $109.99.
5. An adventure book just like the one Carl and Ellie created together in Up before Pixar went ahead and crushed all of our souls into a million pieces.
Promising review: "Super awesome gift to make. I made it for my one year anniversary with my boyfriend because he loved the movie Up. (Who doesn't? It's so cute.) We're going to continue adding to the scrapbook and hopefully pass it on to our children. The book is real sturdy and easy to remove and add pages. Pages are easy to write on and paste on pictures. Really great for the price." —Esther G.

6. The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, perfect for anyone who would basically give their kidney away if it meant being able to chow down on a Mickey-shaped pretzel right about now.
Promising review: "This cookbook brings Disney magic to your kitchen! If you have grown up going to the Disney Parks or discovered them as an adult easily one of the greatest aspects is the food. I always wanted that food when I got home and now I can. This book is so comprehensive covering the best dishes organized by park. It is a beautiful book that will bring our family magic for years to come!!!" —Jason M. Bernhisel

8. Meme the Game: Disney Edition that'll leave you laughing so hard you could easily be mistaken for Cheshire Cat — match Disney image cards with funny phrases to make the silliest memes yet.
Promising review: "My kids LOVE this. Since it was delivered they have practically begged to play it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Honestly it's a nice game, but it is geared more towards kids. If you have children, or are getting it for a child I 1000% recommend it. If you're a single person in college, you may not appreciate it as much. But hey, maybe you would love it too! Anyone with kids should check it out. My children range in age from 12 to 5, and they all love it. Even my 5-year-old, who can't read, loves to play this, and sometimes the funniest answers are the ones she picks at random on her turn." —Samantha Donovan
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
9. A Little People Toddler Play set Disney Princess featuring lights, sounds, two characters and a whooooole lot of magic to keep your kiddo entertained.
My son has a ton of Little People figures, so we were thrilled to get this castle as a gift. There's zero discrimination — everyone from the Disney Princesses to construction workers and tractor drivers get to hang in Noah's castle 😉. There is literally zero set up (a parent's dream!) so your kiddo can start playing immediately. Noah loves putting different characters at the top of the castle and pushing them in the tiny swing. The Princess details throughout the toy are *so* fun and adorable. We love this toy, simple as that.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
10. Tarot cards that'll infuse your next reading with a little *~Disney magic~* thanks to their Disney Villains theme — keep your eyes peeled for cards featuring Cruella de Vil, Ursula, Maleficent, and more classic anti-heroes.
Promising review: "I preordered these cards in January, and I admit that I actually cried tears of joy when they finally arrived. The cards are gorgeous, amazing quality, and the character choices are wonderfully clever. As a life-long Villains fan, this is everything I could have ever wanted and more in a Villains tarot set. Items like these are the kinds of merch that I'd wished existed when I was a kid, and am just so overjoyed to be able to have as an adult. Absolutely incredible!" —Briar Gray
Get them from Amazon for $19.53.

12. And The Story of Disney 100 Years of Wonder coffee table book — jam-packed with magical facts you won't be able but help to rattle off to anyone who crosses your path. It's the companion book to the touring Walt Disney Archive exhibit. ✨
I personally own *quite* a few Disney-themed decorative (although interesting!) books so if you're looking to stock up here's a few other suggestions:

13. The Haunted Mansion – Call of The Spirits Board Game, for anyone who wants to embrace spooky season all the time. Beware: grim, grinning ghosts will come out to socialize while you make your away around the mansion. 😉
Promising review: "I love the Haunted Mansion so I bought this based on the theme. This is a well laid out game, with excellent themed graphics, and quality components. The glow in the dark 'Hitchhiking Ghosts' are a real plus, and you can play this in a low light situation so you can see them glow. The rulebook is fairly clear, but you may want to watch a YouTube video as it's easy to miss little things. After a play through or two you get it, and then it starts to be really fun. Everything here is well thought out and of good quality. It also has many little 'homages' hidden through the game, as we expect from Disney. Lots of little details a true Disney and Haunted Mansion fan can find if you look. All in all this was a very fun game at an amazingly low price." —Chris R Skewes
Get it from Amazon for $11.49 (available in Magic Kingdom or Disneyland editions).
14. A Lego version of Frozen's ice castle complete with 1,709 pieces and figures of Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf. You might not be able to conjure it up *quite* as quickly as Elsa does in the movie, but you *will* have the chance to listen to "Let It Go" a few hundred times while constructing it (so should you choose).
15. Or a Lego Grogu — because he is freakin' cute in every single form. (Yes, even Lego bricks!) Build him yourself and then promptly set him up in your living room to watch The Mandalorian with you each week.
Promising review: "This was my first 'real' Lego set to put together and it was so much fun and relaxing. The pieces were sorted into separate bags for each step and we’re easy to understand. I worked on it the nights for a couple of hours each night while watching TV — could have finished sooner if I had focused more. Great way to relax and a wonderful piece to admire after your experience finished. I bought a display case for mine to keep and admire for years to come." —PaulaAnn0364
Get it from Amazon for $71.99.
16. A Mickey Mouse waffle maker you can count on to transport you back to the first time you piled your plate high as the sky with these babies at your favorite Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort.
I have this exact waffle maker and it really is an activity the entire household can enjoy! It's the closest I've ever gotten to recreating the delicious waffles from the Parks. You can read my personal review here.
Promising review: "This waffle maker is the center piece of our whole kitchen, as we decided to do a Mickey theme! My kids love the waffles and it brings fun to breakfast every time we use it. I love that you can adjust the temperature and that it alerts you when the waffles are ready. Super easy to use and a must have for any Disney fan!!! Do yourself a favor and add to your kitchen!!!" —MamaOfTwo1122
Get it from shopDisney for $99.
17. A gorgeous Cinderella puzzle with 750 pieces you might want to complete before the clock strikes midnight and it turns into a pumpkin — just kidding, you have all the time in the world to work on this soothing activity.
Promising review: "This was the first puzzle I bought for me and my wife and we just finished it yesterday it was on the harder side but well worth it. The picture is beautiful and the time spent on it with her is priceless. No problems with puzzle would recommend to all who seek a challenge." —Alo B.
Get it from Amazon for $11.64 (available in 21 Disney scenes).
18. A do-it-yourself rhinestone art piece featuring tons of tiny gems that'll come together to make a dazzling display of Disney magic.
Promising review: "Got this with a friend to complete during quarantine! (We each got one to work on from afar.) There are only a few spots where the adhesive isn’t as sticky as others that I’ve had to reattach the gems but overall the price, shipping time and overall look is amazing!" —Meredith F.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 10 styles).
19. A deck of Disney playing cards with intricate gold foil designs on 'em that'll make even your card shark pals who can't stand The House of Mouse will agree these are quite chic.
Promising review: "So in love with these cards! Perfect gift for any Disney lover. The box they come in is nicely made and embossed and the playing cards are very elegant looking. Bought two packs originally and loved them so much I ordered two more for gifts." —Kim Muchmore
Get them from Amazon for $11.97 (available in four additional Disney styles).
20. A modern day retelling of Beauty and the Beast you won't be able to put down — a perfect treat for fans of the 1991 film who would happily dive into anything themed around it.
BATB is my favorite Disney Princess film and I absolutely adore Jasmine Guillory, so reading this book was a no-brainer to me. It was so fun from start to finish. There were tons of subtle and not-so-subtle Easter eggs to pick up on pointing to the original film — so fun and a great read! You might also want to check out the first book in the "Meant to Be" collection, If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, which is a retelling of Cinderella if she were a plus-sized contestant on a show similar to The Bachelor.
Promising review: "I’m a fan of Jasmine Guillory, so I may be a bit biased, but I absolutely loved this book. Right from the start, I was swept in and couldn’t put it down. There were moments when I laughed and moments when I cried, but I mostly just had a smile on my face while I fell in love with Isabelle, Beau, and Michaela. I loved the subtle tie in of Beauty and the Beast where you can see the parallels, but the book still felt like its own unique story. My only disappointment was that the book ended. If you’ve come down to the reviews to decide if you should read this book, you absolutely should." —S
Get it from Amazon for $11.
21. Villainous, a must-have for all Disney fans who typically prefer the likes of Maleficent, Ursula, and Jafar. Hope you've got your evil laugh prepared.
Promising review: "I love board games, particularly more adventurous and more adult ones, but getting my wife to play them with me is like pulling teeth. This one is very easy to learn but a challenge to master, which makes it accessible for those who are casual board gamers but enjoyable for the more hardcore enthusiast. Each play-through is different depending on what characters each player chooses, the strategy they apply, and the random draw of the cards. Can't wait until they release expansions with new villains." —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $36.95.
22. An Alice in Wonderland lip and eye makeup bundle that'll send you *~down a rabbit hole*~ of beauty tutorials. You'll easily be able to kill an afternoon trying out a variety of fun new tricks and styles with this colorful kit.
23. And a nail polish inspired by the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington, that'll transform your tips into a spooktacular sight to see.
Mooncat is a woman-owned, vegan, and cruelty-free small business founded by Michelle Lin, who shares on TikTok about how nail polish and art was a symbol of rebellion to her as she wasn't allowed to wear it growing up, which inspired her to create a line of unconventional polishes of her own.
I recently received the entire Nightmare Before Christmas collection and cannot wait to try it out — the packaging is absolutely fantastic.
Get the Pumpkin King polish from Mooncat for $14.
24. And Disney Princess–inspired nail stickers you can apply over your favorite polish for a more magical mani, but without the hassle of requesting fancy nail art from your manicurist.
Magic Gloss is a woman-owned small business that sells Disney and pop culture–inspired nail stickers and accessories. I've tried out a bunch of different sets and can confirm they are super easy to apply and are high quality — they stay on as long as your mani!
Get them from Magic Gloss for $15.
25. A download of Disney Dreamlight Valley, which will keep you entertained for hours on end. It's filled with magical quests, characters you already know and love, cooking, gardening, decorating, and so much more. It's a Disney and video gamers dream come true.
I cannot even begin to fully describe how much I've enjoyed playing this video game, but I will certainly try. I consider myself a "cozy gamer," which is someone who prefers a video game they can leisurely enjoy without a lot of drama and stress. This game beautifully combines that genre of gaming with the magic of Disney — and it is simply fantastic. I love that I get to dress my character in an array of Disney styles, decorate a cute little cottage exactly as I like it, and chit-chat with characters galore. It's really soothing and I've found it to be a great way to unwind from a long day. I've played it on a PC, my Nintendo Switch, and my Xbox S, so feel free to pick your fave console and roll with it!
Get it from Amazon: the Deluxe edition (available now) for Nintendo Switch for $49.99 or pre-order the Cozy edition for Nintendo Switch for $49.99, the Cozy edition for Xbox for $49.99, or the Cozy edition for PS5 for $49.99.
26. A classic Pretty Pretty Princess game with a Disney twist your entire family will love — if you *didn't* have a full blown, knock out fight with your sibling over the crown did you even play? Ah, the nostalgia of it all.
Promising review: "This game is engaging for kids, as it involves dressing up and playing with jewelry, which is always fun. It also encourages basic counting skills as players move around the board and count their collected jewelry. Perfect game for the whole family to enjoy. It is for all ages." —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $17.01.
27. Disney Animated Strategy Game any serious Disney film fan will enjoy — the goal is to work together as a team to add sound, color, and background art to bring the classic movies to life. It includes transparent cels just like the ones the actual animation team used to create the original movies!
28. A cookie cutter and embosser set for anyone looking to sprinkle some extra pixie dust into their next baking sesh. The castle, Mickey Mouse balloons, and "wish upon a star" cut outs are calling your Disney-loving name.
Glitten Cream Co is a small business that creates baking supplies

Get the entire set from Glitten Cream Co on Etsy for $35 (individual cookie cutters are also available).

Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful, intricate detail. I love it so much, such a beautiful job." —djl11rn
Get it from Funny Rolling Pin on Etsy for $14.65.
30. A Jungle Cruise Adventure board game that'll be a fun time for everyone in your household — yes, even your roomie who has never set foot on the ride. The "skipper" who finishes the game with the most valuable passengers and cargo still aboard wins bragging rights for the rest of game night. 😉
Don't worry, for those who are fans of the classic ride, the game is LOADED with tons of the puns you know and love.
Promising review: "Seriously such a fun game! The jokes are punny just like on the ride and there is some strategy involved in winning! I just played this with my 9-year-old niece and she caught on pretty quick (however she is used to playing games listed for 14+). All the adults playing had just as much fun trying to bring their passengers and cargo to the port. It is definitely one of our family’s top favorite games now." —PenP
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
31. Or Disney Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Family Board Game, if that's more your family's speed (literally). The goal? To move through the mine shafts and get as many marbles as you can into your cart while dodging landslides and dynamite!
Promising review: "This game is FUN and very true to the attraction! In the game you're trying to gather marbles (gold!) and convert them in to points. It's interesting how the marbles distribute — the mountain works great to randomly send them down into the pools. The movement around the mountain/game board can be really swift, so you can get to the ones you want. My 12-year-old is very good at strategy games and really figured out the way to build up his train over the course of the game to become more powerful. Next time I play, I'm doing that!" —Auntie Dee
Get it from Amazon for $18.59.
32. A 3D puzzle of a Disney-inspired castle covered in an array of characters. (Rapunzel, I see you up in that tower, girl!) You'll have a blast building it and then displaying it forevermore.
Promising review: "Fantastic puzzle. My 6-year-old daughter and I built it together in an afternoon. We had so much fun and now she uses it as a play castle in her room. The pieces are sturdy and the directions are easy to follow. If you have a puzzle lover in your life, this would make a great gift." —Emily Webb
Get it from Amazon for $69.95.
33. Alice in Wonderland–inspired coffee beans that'll make every day feel like an Unbirthday party — especially if your favorite activity of the day is making coffee. Better pour yourself a cup first or the Mad Hatter and the March Hare will drink it all up.
I've had the pleasure of trying the many flavors offered by Expedition Roasters, a small business that sells pop culture-themed coffees and teas, and am a big fan! I love the way the packaging looks in my kitchen (extra magic!), and the taste is incredible. My favorite so far has been the Wonderland Coffee Crumb Cake — it was so sweet I didn't need to add my usual spoonful (or three) of sugar.
Get it from Expedition Roasters for $15.25 (available in whole bean and ground), and check out all the other flavors here.
34. And a 21-piece Disney Princess dress up trunk so your little one can live out their royal dreams without having to pay a visit to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique — this will surely keep them busy for a whiiiiiiile.
Promising review: "I purchased this set for my goddaughter's birthday! She is three and absolutely loves it. I love the options and it comes with a good amount of items for her to play with for hours. It’s very easy to slip on and off and seems to be toddler-proof!" —Daisy
