AD – PR Product | Season 1 of Stranger Things released in 2016 on Netflix, and it took the world by storm with the mix of sci-fi and horror and 80s nostalgia. Since 2019, four seasons of the series have been released, with the fifth and final season releasing in 2025. While we wait for the final season of Stranger Things, I created a gift guide for all the Stranger Things fans out there.

For the Bookworms
Suspicious Minds by Gwenda Bond
Suspicious Minds is the first official Stranger Things novel, which is the prequel to the Netflix series. In the summer of 1969, Terry Ives signs up to be a test subject for an important government experiment at Hawkins National Laboratory. However, a dark conspiracy lurks, and to face it, Terry will need the help of her fellow test subjects, including a young girl with unexplainable powers and the name of 008. Suspicious Minds is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the Stranger Things universe.

Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down by Gina McIntyre
Worlds Turned Upside Down is a companion to the first two seasons of Stranger Things, and it contains commentary by the Duffer brothers and insight into their creative process, interviews with the cast, cultural artifacts and references in the series, a map of Hawkins, and a look into the future of the series. Worlds Turned Upside Down would be perfect for anyone who wants insight into the behind-the-scenes of the series.

In a World Full of Tens Be an Eleven Mug
Another great gift for bookworms would be a Stranger Things-themed mug to enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea while reading, and that brings me to the “In a World Full of Tens Be an Eleven” Mug that I was kindly gifted. The mug is made of high-quality ceramic, and it can be personalized with any name up to 15 characters. Since my name is uncommon, I have never been able to go to a gift shop and find my name on anything, but thanks to I Just Love It not only do I now have this mug that has an amazing design, it has my name on it too!

Stranger Things Bookmark
To help bookworms keep their place while reading, a bookmark would be a good gift idea. The Stranger Things bookmarks are laminated bookmarks that look like photo booth strips. The bookmarks are high-quality and include various characters from the show.

For the Foodies
Christmas Lights Cupcakes
If you enjoy baking, you might consider gifting any foodies in your life cupcakes. Stranger Things has changed my view of Christmas lights when Joyce used them to communicate with Will in The Upside Down back in season 1, so what better gift than making Christmas lights cupcakes?

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Speaking of The Upside Down, another great foodie gift would be to make a pineapple upside-down cake. Not only would it taste delicious, but it would be a subtle nod to Stranger Things.

Stranger Things Coasters
Another great gift idea is a set of Stranger Things-themed coasters. The coasters come in a set of 4 with drink recipes inspired by Scoops Ahoy, Pure Fuel, Coffee and Contemplation, and Mindflayer. You can purchase the set of coasters with or without a stand.

The Unofficial Stranger Things Cookbook
Furthermore, you can purchase your foodie friends or loved ones The Unofficial Stranger Things Cookbook by Tom Grimm. The cookbook includes 60+ recipes from comfort food straight from Mrs. Wheeler’s table to fast food from the Starcourt Mall food court that would fit right into both dimensions of 1980s Hawkins, Indiana.

For the Gamers
Stranger Things VR
If a gamer you know loves Stranger Things and has a VR headset, you can consider purchasing the Stranger Things VR game for them. In the game, players experience the world of Stranger Things from the perspective of Vecna as he explores unknown realities, forms the hive mind, and enacts his plan for revenge against Eleven and Hawkins.
$24.99 on Steam
Stranger Things Monopoly
For fans of Monopoly, there is Stranger Things Monopoly, where players will try to rescue Will from the Upside Down. Players will choose an 80s-inspired or an Upside Down token to move around the board while trying to find him. They will search the town of Hawkins by buying, selling, and trading locations and vehicles from the TV series. The game includes Walkie-Talkie and Blinking Lights cards, which replace the Community Chest and Chance cards, while Forts and Hideouts replace the houses and hotels.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dragons Of Stormwreck Isle Starter Set
Anyone who has watched Stranger Things knows that D&D is a popular pastime for the kids. Though D&D is not as prevalent in season 3. However, anyone can start their own D&D campaign. The starter set includes an adventure book, a rulebook, five pre-generated characters with character sheets, and six dice, which would be perfect for new D&D players or players looking to start a new adventure.
$14.99 at D&D Beyond
Stranger Things Stickers
Besides games, another good gift for gamers would be stickers for a laptop, phone, water bottle, and more. You can get a pack of 20 waterproof stickers with various Stranger Things-themed designs.

For Hygge
Stranger Things Waffles & Things Bath Bomb
A great gift for anyone who likes to have a bit of hygge or coziness in their life would be a bath bomb. The bath bomb is waffle-shaped and pina colada scented, and pineapple is a symbol of friendship.
$14.99 at Etsy
Stranger Things Lip Balm
Another great self-care gift would be a Stranger Things-themed lip balm. The lip balms are inspired by different characters in the series, including El’s Strawberry Dream, Will’s Rocky Road Journey, Robyn’s Operation Scoop & Split, Eddie’s Sweet Chaos, and more.
$5 at Etsy
Eleven Soy Candle
Another great hygge gift would be a Stranger Things-themed candle, and Mirus Candles has a candle inspired by Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven, Max, Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Hopper, and Joyce. The Eleven Candle has notes including maple syrup, Eggos, and Hawkins’ Forest.

I love the socks, and they’re at Target too. So, that’s awesome. I’m saving this post to Pinterest for when I need Christmas gift ideas. Thanks!
I’ve never watched the show, but I think I will start soon!
All of these gifts are really cool!! I’d actually go for the first one, the book by Gwenda Bond that sounds really interesting. I’ve also already binge watched the season with my hubby!! Love this show!!
So much effort went into this post! Thank you so much for the ideas ☺️
I absolutely LOVE stranger things, really hoping a 4th season does come out!! Loved this post and have my eye on a few of the items xx
Wow! This was such a cool post! Like you I’m a huge fan of Stranger Things, and I absolutely loved the third season. There is a pretty strong rumor that the 4th season will be the last but well if it is, let’s hope they go out on a high note😊 I have The Worlds Upside Down book by the way. Haven’t yet read it, but it looks very cool 😊
Somehow, I had no idea there was so much merch! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but still! This is a great gift guide. I actually want that jumpsuit.
And now excuse me while I shamelessly plug my own post, because I talked about Stranger Things Season 3 last week and I’m curious to see how others reacted to the new season!
