A fan favorite Simple Modern tumbler with a magical twist to convince the Disney Adult in your life to drink more H2O

Promising review: “I freaking love this cup. I bought one for me and two people. We adore these cups. They keep your ice cold for 24 hours, plus they’re easy to hold and clean. We got the Disney black Mickey ear design, and it’s quality stuff. It fits in my car’s cup holder easily too, 40 ounces.” — Andres Avalos

A pair of Minnie Mouse ear scrunchies

Promising review: “I bought these at the last minute prior to a school trip to Disney. They came in a two-pack. I wore them EVERY DAY of the trip. They are so dang cute and durable. Standing in lines for the ride, almost EVERYONE asked me about them. They thought I bought them there, but surprisingly, NOT ONE shop at any of the Disney properties sold this. I sold one to someone in the line!” — Melissa Rae

I have owned this hat for years! I originally bought it in Walt Disney World, but it’s become one of my favorite Disney items over the years. I typically wear it to the beach or when running errands. It has an adjustable back, so it’ll fit anyone and everyone, but not a Velcro one, so it’s not as noticeable. Big fan!

Promising review: “My sister spent a pretty penny on her exact hat at Disneyland. I purchased mine here and it’s identical! She actually wishes she would have known to purchase this item here instead of the 30 extra dollars there. Comfortable, sturdy, I always get compliments.” — Destiny

6
The Magical World of Disney Trivia game — a must-have for any Disney family

Amazon

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

7
An adventure book just like the one Carl and Ellie created together in Up

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.

Amazon

This set comes with The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks EPCOT Cookbook and The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook.

Promising review: “We like going to the Disney parks, and one of the things we try to do is figure out the different dishes we get at the sit-down restaurants. While most of them are pretty easy to figure out, some of them are not. These books help us go a long way to recreating some of our favorites. It’s a fun read.” — RocketTom

A Mickey Mouse waffle maker that’ll transport them back to their first time at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort

Shop Disney

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 centerpiece 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

13
A modern day retelling of Tangled they won’t be able to put down

Promising review: “Pure Christina Lauren, a gifted collaboration by two gifted authors. Thank you. What did you do right? Everything. This book is a treasure, inspiring those of us who dare to doubt to know that life will always give us little openings if only we open our eyes and our senses and become willing to take great leaps of faith.” — Ann George

This book is one out of four “Meant to Be” novels that provide a fun, modern-day spin on the classic tales we know and love

Here is a quick synopsis of some of the other fun stories:

If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (the first of the series!), which is a retelling of Cinderella if she were a plus-sized contestant on a show similar to The Bachelor.

By the Book by Jasmine Guillory (my personal fave!), a version of Beauty and the Beast in which “Isabelle” is struggling to thrive in the publishing industry when she is sent to convince a “beastly” high-profile author to deliver his long-await manuscript.

Kiss the Girl by Zoraida Córdova (which I just finished reading!) is the story of The Little Mermaid but also totally not — Ariel del Mar is a famous pop singer in a girl group formed by her sisters. She wants to live “in the real world,” so when she meets Eric Reyes, an aspiring artist, she hides her identity and heads out on tour with his band.

Amazon
A deck of Disney playing cards with intricate gold foil designs on ’em

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

15
Amazon
Villainous, a must-have for all Disney fans who typically prefer the likes of Maleficent, Ursula and Jafar

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

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Promising review: “I purchased these for a friend’s birthday present (he is a sushi waiter), and these are flippin’ AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!” — T. Redwood

A Mickey Mouse bag charm set they can attach to their keys, backpack or tote
BaubleBar

BaubleBar

I have a Mickey Mouse bag charm and think it’s such a fun addition to my handbag. It just adds a little something extra to the bag I’ve been carrying basically forever, but it makes it feel new again in a way! And because this comes with five, you can split this set up into several gifts.

19
Villains Tarot cards that’ll infuse their next reading with a little Disney magic
Amazon

,

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

20
A Pizza Planet tee to add some Disney magic to their Sunday routine of ordering pizza

,

Amazon

Promising review: “Bought this shirt for my teenage son and he loves it. He’s a huge Toy Story fan so this was the perfect gift for him. Good quality and held up great after washing and drying in low in the dryer and still looks great several washes later. The print hasn’t bubbled or peeled.” — Miss Coco

21
A postcard box filled to the brim with special Disney illustrations of their favorite characters

,

Amazon

I have three styles of these postcard boxes (I know, I KNOW, I have a problem). They are made of sturdy paper and make for excellent office decor. At my last job I wallpapered my cubicle with them — each one is unique and gorgeous. A must-have for any Disney diehard.

Promising review: “The postcards feature scenes, concept art, character designs and backgrounds from some of Disneys most iconic films. The images are beautifully presented in these art cards and are perfect for framing or sending! The set features one of each card, which can make it quite a challenge if you yourself are a postcard collector! The box features film “frames” from the movies within on the side and would make a beautiful storage box for any Disney fan.” — OSU Fan

22
Amazon
A Mickey-shaped ring they’ll be able to stack alongside their other baubles

Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this ring! I’ve been wearing it every day since I received it in May, NO TARNISH! It is beautiful and sparkles! Fits true to size, and the price is incredible for the quality of this ring! If you’re a huge Disney fan like myself, this is the perfect ring for you!” — Meri

Amazon
A Grogu tiki mug

Promising review: “My friend was overjoyed with this adorable mug. Nice quality with good detail — absolutely recommend!” — Amazon Customer

24
Wish Upon Magic
A hilariously accurate sticker that says “I like Disney and maybe three people”

This sticker speaks to me. It’s also available as a car decal! Wish Upon Magic is a woman-owned small business based in Arcadia, California. They make some of the most magical and adorable stickers and keychains I’ve ever seen. I have tooooons of their stickers all over my belongings. Obsessed.

25
999 Spyglass / Etsy
A Madame Leota embroidered hat guaranteed to make them smile

Every hat is made to order and is so well-crafted you’ll likely start making excuses to wear one. Bad hair day every day? Yep, sounds good. You can also have custom embroidery added onto the back! I have and have gifted Claire’s items many times now — they never disappoint to impress. 999 Spyglass is a woman-owned small business based in Baltimore, Maryland that sells, obviously, embroidered hats!

Orders typically ship within 7 days.

A fabulous belt with a buckle in the shape of the signature Disney “D”

,

Amazon

Promising review: “I loved this belt!!! I wore it to Disney last week and got loads of compliments. It added a little Disney magic to each of my outfits, and was a great little detail. This belt can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what it is paired with.” — Brianna Regan Lewis

Psst: This item is included in Amazon’s Try Before You Buy service, so you can give it a trial run if you’re a member!

27
A princess phone case that’ll have other Disney adults stopping to ask where they got it from
casetify

,

Heather Braga/ BuzzFeed

I have the Belle stickermania case (seen above to the right) and adore it. It has a protective bumper around it and so far has held up to any wear and tear. Most importantly, it looks like there are actual stickers on the back of the case! It has a ’90s Lisa Frank vibe that I can’t get enough of.

Orders are typically shipped in 1–6 business days.

28
A Beauty and the Beast Loungefly backpack inspired by the stained glass windows and opening musical number from the film

I happen to have this Loungefly backpack so I might be a touch biased when talking about how absolutely stunning it is. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney Princess film and this bag is the perfect nod to exactly that. It’s, of course, roomy inside and is the perfect companion for any Park day. The design really is timeless and fabulous — with so many Loungefly styles to choose from, I’m happy this one is in my line-up.

Promising review: “Beautiful bag! I used it for my first adult trip to Disneyland. Holds everything you need and has a gorgeous design! I have it displayed in my office (see photo, right) like a work of art. :)” — Cristal Porter

29
Amazon
A Lego version of Frozen’s ice castle complete with 1,709 pieces and figures of Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf

Promising review: “Love the set so far. Recommend as a gift. Like many, I freaked out because of missing pieces from Step 3! I saw a few reviews and decided to look in the larger Step 4 bag and there were my missing pieces! So don’t panic, check Step 4 first!” — EddieZ
