Christmas 2025 Gift Guide & Disney Fan Holiday Shopping List

Christmas 2025 Gift Guide & Disney Fan Holiday Shopping List


Our holiday gift guide and Christmas 2025 shopping list features the best new Walt Disney World books, fun games, travel gadgets, and other must-haves to make you a holiday hero. Plus, inspiration for your wishlist, so your family doesn’t get you more socks or ties.

The latest update to the list of things to buy for Disney fans brings with it a ton of cool new stuff, including several items that are new for Christmas. From books to ornaments to tech gadgets that’ll help “power” Lightning Lane Multi-Pass and otherwise improve your trip to Walt Disney World, there are some great new finds.

Over the last few years, we’ve fine-tuned our Ultimate Disney Fan Christmas List with tried and true favorites, as well as some fun and new surprises that you never knew you needed. It’s not just a bunch of obvious things like the top-sellers on Amazon with the word “Disney” in their titles. This is serious stuff for Disney dorks. 😉

Another important point worth sharing is that some of these items are already on sale–Black Friday is no longer reserved for the day after Thanksgiving. We’re seeing early Black Friday savings, but expect even bigger discounts as the holiday shopping season heats up, so consider waiting if the item you see isn’t showing up as on sale. There’s a good chance it’ll be cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday!

When it comes to these items, we receive a small commission from your purchases, so buying through these links helps support the site. However, neither the price you pay nor our recommendations are impacted by that. With that said, here are our recommendations, loosely organized by category–starting with our top picks…

Top Picks for Disney Gifts

71Q0PHW1F3L. SL1400

Thomas Kinkade Disney Dreams 2026 Wall Calendar – You’ve seen Kinkade’s work if you’ve ever been in an Art of Disney store. It’s the dreamy, improbably-lit paintings that you want to step inside. With their mix of artistry and impressionism, Kinkade’s Disney designs are mesmerizing, and this calendar is a great way to look at them all year long…without spending $1,000+ on a painting!

Honestly, I wouldn’t want a painting anyway. Kinkade art is like corn dog nuggets–delicious as a guilty pleasure I’ll devour at the end of a long day at the parks, but not something I’d want to advertise eating regularly. This is already 38% off as part of early Black Friday sales!

Thomas Kinkade Disney Collection Christmas Puzzles — Nothing says Christmas like sitting by the fireplace in comfy pajamas, doing a puzzle. And there’s something about Thomas Kinkade art that just oozes warmth and coziness. Comforting like a Hallmark movie, a good sweater, or a cup of coffee by the fireplace. Now we can add this puzzle to the mix and multi-task all of the above at once for the ultimate holiday experience. A great deal for Black Friday!

Thomas Kinkade The Disney Collection 4 in 1 Multipack Puzzles4 puzzles in 1 package, with 500 pieces per puzzle. There are several different Thomas Kinkade Disney puzzles (click here for the others), but this is my favorite due to the two Mickey & Minnie travel scenes.

Joyjolt Coffee Mugs Mickey Mouse 743x750

JoyJolt Disney Mickey Mouse 3D Glass Cups Set of 2 – There are a bunch of different options from JoyJolt that are on sale, but these are the most iconic. These Disney coffee cups aren’t your regular double walled glasses. Look inside and you’ll discover Disney’s Mickey Mouse inside your coffee in optical 3D. Great deal at 40%!

We’d also highly recommend the non-holiday Mickey Pants and Minnie Skirt 3D 7.4oz Double Wall Glass Coffee Cups, which are likewise fun, substantial and on sale.

Mickey Mouse Mug & Warmer – This electric mug warmer keeps your coffee or other hot drink the perfect temperature. As someone who has been known to consume a lot of caffeine throughout the day (coffee is basically the unofficial sponsor of DTB), this is an essential for me. Because I also frequently get wrapped up in tasks–or in the zone–and forget to drink my coffee before it’s cold. This solves that.

Mickey Mouse Carabiners – I don’t know how you will use these, but we use them for attaching even more stuff to our stroller. Also good for water bottles, popcorn buckets, and countless other in-park uses, I’m sure.

Mickey Mouse Waffles Trader Joes

Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker – We’ve recommended this for the last few years, and have actually bought it multiple times for ourselves (got lost in a move) and given it as gifts to family and friends. (It helps that it’s really cheap!) Pocket the money you’d otherwise spend on those Chef Mickey’s or Crystal Palace breakfast reservations.

Travel White Noise Machine – We actually bought this for traveling with our baby as it was recommended by countless parenting blogs. As it turns out, this is just great for traveling in general. That’s doubly true at Walt Disney World, where I swear that even Deluxe Resorts have paper-thin walls.

Mickey Mouse Ice Cube Tray – Our daughter already loves everything shaped like Mickey Mouse (runs in the family, I guess) and these are a great kitchen addition on that front.

Crocs Literide 360 Pacer Shoes Disney World 555

Crocs Men’s LiteRide 360 Pacer Sneaker – Want to recreate the stylistic sensibilities of a mid-tier Disney blogger? Well that ‘fit can be yours with these shoes! Joking aside, I cannot recommend these highly enough. In case you missed it, they were the centerpiece of our list of the Best Shoes for Walt Disney World.

Crocs Women’s LiteRide 360 Pacer Sneaker – This is the women’s version of the Crocs shoes, with some styles on sale.

Crocs Women’s LiteRide 360 Sandals – The sandal version of the same type of Crocs. Note that this is not the version Sarah wears–hers are the beach stretch variety, with fabric straps.

Brooks Ghost Max – Last year’s model of the Brooks Ghost Max are now 33% off at Amazon. A good crisp shoe that’s incredibly plush and has a bit of pep in the step.

Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit – Exact same idea here. I’m a big fan of the Stealthfit, which fits like a glove but is incredibly breathable, making it a great shoe for Walt Disney World’s weather.

Fuelrod Battery Charger Disney World 0022

FuelRod 2-Pack – Did you ever think you’d see the day when Disney Tourist Blog dot com was actively endorsing this controversial charger? Well, we did. An exceptional deal was involved that helped make up our minds in favor of the new and improved device.

There’s actually a FuelRod 3-Pack on sale that’s an even better deal on a per unit basis–it just comes down to whether you need three of them (I’d say that’s the smart move for families, but solo travelers or couples should be fine with two.)

Anker Nano Portable Charger – My new favorite charger as of this year. The big selling point is the built-in Lightning connector for iPhones, meaning that you don’t need to carry additional cords. There’s also a USB-C version for those of you with iPhone 15 or non-iPhones.

Anker Slimline Phone Charger 10000mAh External Battery Pack — Even before Lightning Lanes, we recommended bringing a backup battery pack to charge your phone while using My Disney Experience or social media at Walt Disney World. Now, it’s downright necessary. This one has great capacity (ideal for more than one person) and the fastest charging capabilities. It’s already 40% off for early Black Friday!

Anker Zolo 10,000mAh 30W Portable Charger with Built-in USB-C Cable for Travel – This charger is–without a doubt–the charger we’d buy if we had phones with a USB-C connector instead of the Lightning connector. This one is 23% off for Black Friday Week. Also available in 20k capacity.

Anker 3-Port 140W Charging Block – This is a niche product, but it’s another game-changer for me. This Anker 3-port block charges my Nikon mirrorless camera, laptop, and phone simultaneously and the device is smaller than my Macbook charger by itself. Great deal at 40% off!

Anker 47W Nano 3 USB-C Charger – This is what Sarah uses, and it’s absolutely perfect for her–or the average person. It’ll charge your devices faster than the standard charger (and lightyears quicker than in-wall ports at WDW hotels), and it’s 40% off for Black Friday. I believe this is the cheapest it’s ever been.

Disney World Packing List Cubes 005

Packing CubesThese are perfect for organizing, and make it easier to to manage your luggage. I love this 4-piece set as they’re the perfect size for organizing a carry-on size suitcase.

Compression Cubes — There are two great options here—I’ve moved on to these compression cubes, as I find they save more space in my luggage, which is huge for me. Below is the cheaper alternative, if you’re simply looking to stay organized.

Frogg Toggs Chilly PadIr?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=B0049RPBWW&camp=217145&creative=399373 — By far the most popular item on our Unique Disney Parks Packing List (which is where the things in this section are from, so skip down to ‘Disney Media’ if you’ve already read that list), Chilly Pads use some sort of space-age science material to be “cool and dry.” Essential for those unbearably hot days in Walt Disney World or Disneyland!

Personal Neck Fan — The little device is shockingly effective. You know that refreshing feeling when briefly hit by a burst of air-conditioning while walking in front of an open door on Main Street? This is like that, but constant. The technology isn’t perfect yet and battery life could be better, but it’s great for hot days in the parks. If you want to splurge on a nicer and more effective model, check out the TORRAS Coolify Portable Air Conditioner Neck Fan. (I think that’s too much to spend on one of these, but to each their own.)

2-Pack of “Pro” Ponchos — These are a thicker and higher quality material than most ponchos, making them easy to reuse. This makes them more environmentally–and budget–friendly. They’re also just flat out superior to disposable ponchos, and will keep you drier as a result. Great as stocking stuffers!

Repel Travel Umbrella – This is umbrella is so good that we’ve bought 3 of them this year. Technically, that’s because I’ve lost two of them, but that’s a minor detail.

Life Straw Water Bottle Disney World 878

Life Straw Go Filter Water Bottle — Florida water tastes awful straight from the tap, so it’s key to get a bottle with a filter. This bottle is the best option, hands down. It’s durable, BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and uses a 2-stage activated carbon filter reduces odor, chlorine and leaves zero aftertaste!

Philips GoZero Insulated Water Bottle — This insulated metal GoZero bottle by Philips has great reviews–it’s durable, BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and uses a 2-stage activated carbon filter reduces odor, chlorine and leaves zero aftertaste. Already on sale for Black Friday (albeit as a Lightning Deal, so this might be gone once you see it).

Brita Filter Water Bottles – Same idea, but more economical than Life Straw. This is our second-favorite option–the cheaper bottle that I carry since I’ve lost one of the more expensive ones. It’s a great option, and with more and more bottle refilling stations around the parks, far more efficient than going up to counter service restaurants requesting cups of ice water.

Apple AirTags – We now use AirTags to track our car (good for rental cars that can get lost in the sea of the TTC), checked baggage (good for peace of mind), and much more that isn’t relevant to travel. The best use of all is tracking strollers. Cast Members relocate parked strollers, making them difficult to find. AirTags offer a great solution to this problem! There are tons of great non-Disney uses for AirTags, or their non-Apple counterpart, Tile Pro Tracker.

Fire 8 Kids Tablet – Even if you strive to be screen-free, this can be a lifesaver on flights or in other meltdown scenarios. An educational and entertainment tool for kids with parental controls, goal-setting, time limits, plus 1 FREE year of Amazon Kids+ with access to over 20,000 apps, games, books, videos, audiobooks, and educational content from PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney, and more.

91EWUVCkgxL. AC SY879

Disney Mickey Mouse Not-So-Ugly Christmas Sweater – This wins for me on the combination of a tasteful design, durable material (so many of my sweaters get ruined by friction from my backpack or getting into and out of rides), and low price. There are actually a lot of other Disney Christmas sweaters at relatively reasonable prices, but I question the quality. At least Amazon has easy returns!

Disney Vintage Goofy Holiday Presents T-Shirt – This is the only worthwhile article of Christmas clothing that’s currently on sale, which is something of a rarity. As much as I like this shirt, it’s still $17. I guess that’s cheap by shirt standards–certainly less expensive than anything you could get at Walt Disney World. On the other hand, I paid $10 for my favorite Santa Mickey shirt a couple years ago.  

Christmas Mickey Mouse Santa Red Graphic T-Shirt — I love the vintage look of this shirt, featuring pie-eyed Mickey Mouse as Santa Claus. This would be great with a simple “Walt Disney World” or “Disneyland” script below it; all of this year’s park Christmas clothes have way too much going on.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse Christmas PJs — It’s Christmas Eve tradition in my family to get a new set of pajamas to wear to bed and the following morning. It’s a great tradition—if your kids aren’t receptive to receiving clothes for Christmas, introduce them to Jólakötturinn, the Icelandic Yule Cat.

Frozen Advent Calendar Lego Store Disney World Disneyland Downtown 3092

LEGO Disney Frozen Advent Calendar (2025) – The LEGO Disney Frozen Advent Calendar building set features 231 pieces across 24 buildable surprises, such as a seesaw, gingerbread house, Sir Jorgenbjorgen, fireplace with stockings and a wreath, presents, Olaf’s sleigh, a wreath with candles, a micro bell and letter, an ice table, and and much more.

This countdown to Christmas features 24 books, each of which are 24-pages, with holiday-themed and everyday stories featuring beloved Disney and Pixar characters.

Little Golden Book Santa Stops Disneyland

Santa Stops at Disneyland (Little Golden Book) – The Disney Parks Little Golden Books released thus far have been fantastic, with gorgeous art and cute stories. Megatron loves the stories, while Sarah and I absolutely adore the art and style—they’re great for anyone with kids, theme park fans, or anyone who was a kid and has fond memories of Little Golden Book. Here are other recommended titles:

Disneyland Is Your Land! Little Golden Book – This is the newest Disney Parks Little Golden Book, and it’s another big hit in our household. In the span of only a few years, Little Golden Books have become the dominant purchase in our household. Reasonably priced, well-paced, and space-saving, they’re perfect for our toddler. But I probably don’t need to extol the virtues of Little Golden Books–you already know.

Little Golden Book Box Set Disney World 428x620

Disney Parks Little Golden Book Library – A bunch of the above books, in boxed collection! An absolute must-own for any Walt Disney World fan, no matter how young-at-heart.

Figment Little Golden Book – We own two copies of this little gem: one for Megatron, one for the Bricker Figment Archives. This features lyrics from the beloved Disney song “One Little Spark” and is about the purple dragon from Walt Disney World’s EPCOT. This adorable Little Golden Book is about creativity and imagination, and is perfect for children ages 2 to 5, plus Disney Parks fans and Little Golden Book collectors of all ages

Megatron Bricker Christmas Books Best Disney World 2987

The Muppet Christmas Carol: The Illustrated Holiday Classic – If you’ve followed this blog around Christmas-time, you know we are huge fans of Muppet Christmas Carol. I’ve seen it more than any other film (the next closest is Terminator 2, for those keeping score at home).

We cannot wait to read this to Megatron. We haven’t done so yet because she is very ‘hands on’ when reading, and this book is a work of art. But it’s also more delicate than our go-to board books. We’re debating purchasing a spare for her, because it’s such an affordable, artistic book.

Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas (Book) – When Jim Henson debuted the now-classic film Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas in 1977, few knew it was based on a story written and illustrated by Russell and Lillian Hoban, creators of Bread and Jam for Frances and other treasured children’s books. This is the book that started it all, a beautiful gift edition that will thrill Muppets fans young and old.

Disney Christmas Storybook Collection — Join Ralph and Vanellope as they throw a Christmas party just for the Bad Guys; trim the tree with Woody, Buzz and the rest of the Toy Story gang; follow Elsa as she tries to create the best holiday ever for her sister, Elsa; and more.

Disney 5-Minute Christmas Stories — Join in the festivities of the season as Mike and Sully race to light the big Christmas tree, Alice finds the Red Queen’s present, Peter Pan brings Christmas to Never Land, and more!

Disney Whos Who Characters Autograph Book Wdw Disneyland

Disney Who’s Who (Autograph Book Substitute) – Instead of having characters sign a blank page, have them sign this actual book about 150+ Disney characters. After the trip, it’ll be a treasured keepsake. Megatron isn’t quite old enough for this yet, but our friends with older kids rave about it.

Who Was Walt Disney? – This book has great reviews and answers an important question. We overhear so many people in the parks who have no clue who Walt Disney was (usually around the Partners statue). So I guess this could be great for kids…or adults?!

Disney Storybook Collection — A large, 300+ page hardcover book retelling several classic Disney stories complete with 250 pieces of artwork from the Disney Archives.

Disney Princess Dress Up Trunk

Disney Princess Dress Up Trunk Deluxe 21 Piece – As the new parent of a future princess, I’m guess I’ll be learning about things like this all too soon. For now, we’ve heard great things and know that this is a good deal that’s very popular among Disney fans as an inexpensive alternative to doing Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.  

Mirabel Dress – Same idea, but with Mirabel.

Mattel Belle Doll – If you click through to the product page, you’ll see this is a whole series of Barbie-like Disney dolls, many of which are on sale for under $10. There’s pretty much every princess in posable form–we’re not gonna list them all.

50th Anniversary Book Christmas Disney World 129

A Portrait of Walt Disney World: 50 Years of The Most Magical Place on Earth – The best Walt Disney World coffee table book ever. In style, structure, and quality, this is unrivaled. Truly the best thing to come out of the 50th Anniversary celebration, this covers everything from development to the evolution of Walt Disney World, with tons of rare photos and concept art. You can read our full review if you want, but the bottom line is that this is the best book about Walt Disney World.

The Happiest Place on Earth: The Incredible Story of Walt Disney’s Disneyland – This is one of the highlights of the 70th Anniversary, and another excellent book about Walt Disney’s original magic kingdom. It brings a shocking amount of new content and fresh perspective to the table, and is a gorgeous and gigantic coffee table book that’s worthy of display.

Even seasoned fans will appreciate how much new ground it covers about the creation and early years of Disneyland. It’s truly a testament to the authors that they’ve been able to revisit the Walt-era well yet again, and still manage to publish one of the fresher Disneyland books in years. This is a must-own for lovers of Disney history.

Xavier “X” Atencio: The Legacy of An Artist, Imagineer, and Disney Legend – This book depicts the life, art, and lasting legacy of X. Featuring previously unpublished artwork and photographs from X’s personal collection, this book grants readers the unique opportunity to discover the true depths of influence X attained on his life journey.

Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia — This is a re-release of the definitive Disney encyclopedia for Disney100, but it’s been updated with almost a decade’s worth of changes and additions. (It was a busy decade for Disney!)

Poster Art Disney Parks Second Edition Disney World Disneyland Book 1014

Poster Art of the Disney Parks, Second Edition – This new title is an expanded and updated edition of the beloved book that ranks highly in our library. The second edition renders the first obsolete, as the 85+ new posters and behind-the-scenes development info nearly doubles the book in length. It’s worth it for all of the awesome new posters made for EPCOT’s reimagining alone.

Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look At Making the Magic Real – Quite simply, it will change the way you look at the Disney theme parks. It covers the design process, why certain details are significant, and how things in the parks came to be (or didn’t come to be). Had I found this back before going to college, I might’ve pursued a different career path. It’s incredibly inspiring, and will make you appreciate the parks more. Every Disney theme park fan should own this book.

Official Disney Parks Celebration Cookbook: 101 Festival Recipes from the Delicious Disney Vault – This book is brand new–it was literally released last week on Walt Disney World’s anniversary and it’s already on sale! I don’t have this yet, but that’ll change soon.

813yfuNuXiL. SL1500 492x750

Hidden History of Walt Disney World – Foxx Nolte is one of my favorite authors for deep dives into Walt Disney World. She’s also a fellow blogger and friend-of-the-site, but I’d strongly recommend this title, regardless. 44% off!

Boundless Realm: Deep Explorations In Haunted Mansion – Everything you could possibly want to know about Disney’s iconic Haunted Mansion, from history to artistic critique. It’s a truly comprehensive, probing American history, popular culture, and folklore, to examine why Haunted Mansion is the definitive haunted house.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbooks Box Set – Don’t let “unofficial” fool you. While not made by Disney, these are the definitive cookbooks from the parks and are fan-favorites.

_FM75921

DisneyWar – Another title that I recommend constantly, this real account of a battle within Disney reads like a soap opera, except it’s all true. This is Shakespearean melodrama–a real page turner. Even those in your family who aren’t Disney fans will enjoy DisneyWar. You can purchase used hardcover copies for only a few dollars on Amazon, making it a great stocking stuffer. (This is one of many older books that we recommend in Our Disney Theme Parks Library post. Several of those books are now out-of-print, but are available used.)

People Behind the Disney Parks: Stories of Those Honored with a Window on Main Street, U.S.A. – This book should be a must-own, instant-buy for anyone who is a fan of the people who brought Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the other parks to life. It features 280+ biographies of people with windows on Main Street, and behind-the-scenes info on the creation of the ‘opening acts’ of the castle parks.

Disney Games & Toys

Lionel Mickey Mouse Express

Lionel Disney Mickey Mouse Express Train – Join Mickey and Friends to spread Christmas spirit in this present filled Disney train set that makes a great gift for kids and train hobbyists–perfect for around the tree.

LEGO Disney and Pixar ‘Up’ House – This 598-piece LEGO Disney toy set includes a partial house built with balloons, different rooms and functions, plus Carl Fredricksen and Russell LEGO minifigures, and a Dug LEGO dog figure for dog lovers. According to LEGO, the set is “made for unlimited adventures on land or floating through the clouds.”

LEGO Disney Wish Asha’s Cottage – Lots of Wish and Little Mermaid (live action) toys are on sale, including LEGO sets. Regardless of the movie’s quality, this looks fun.

Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game Gateway

Ravensburger Disney Lorcana TCG: Gateway – This isn’t technically a holiday item, but if there’s any time to get into Lorcana–the excellent trading card game that has a huge following in the Disney fandom–it’s now, before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and whatever other family gatherings you have on the horizon. At 40% off, this is a fantastic deal–for the entire package, you’re paying the cost of a pack of cards. Worth the $15 gamble if you’ve yet to give Lorcana a shot. You might end up loving it!

For a wider variety of decks and starter packs, check out Amazon’s Ravensburger Lorcana Storefront. There are dozens of different options, from new starter packs that are on sale for $6 to rare box sets costing over $300! (Obviously, you should not jump into Lorcana by purchasing the latter. Start small and build from there!)

Disney Eye Found It Card Game — A simple but highly popular card game that makes a great stocking stuffer for Disney fans.

Something Wild! Mickey & Friends Character Card Game — Another fast-paced and easy-to-learn family card game featuring beloved Disney characters and Pop! pocket figures.

Haunted Mansion Board Game Disney World

Haunted Mansion: Call of The Spirits Board Game – I’m a total sucker for cheesy and cheeky board games, as well as Walt Disney World board games. This is the perfect intersection of those interests. It’s a fairly strategic game that’s easy enough for kids but also deep enough for adults. Our one warning here is that the instructions are a bit confusing, but there are several superior YouTube videos that break it down in easy-to-understand terms. Highly recommended.

Jungle Cruise Adventure Board Game – Same goes with this, although it’s not as “deep” as the Haunted Mansion game. The goal here is to transport passengers and cargo, while avoiding perils and delivering the trademark dry wit of the Jungle Cruise skippers.

Villainous Disney Strategy Board Game – A lot of Disney fans are really into all things villains. We are not. Consequently, we overlooked this when it came out, despite it being by Ravensburger and receiving rave reviews. After winning the prestigious ‘Game of the Year’ Award at the TOTY Awards, we remedied that and found it to be a very deep and satisfying game. We still don’t like it as much as the Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion games, but that’s a matter of taste.

Its A Small World Game Disney Funko 898x620

Funko Disney It’s a Small World Game Collector’s Edition – It’s the happiest cruise that ever sailed!

Hocus Pocus: The Game – Halloween might be over, but the sun never sets on the Sanderson sisters. Well, actually it does, and that’s sorta the point in this cooperative card game. Players work together to protect Salem’s children and stop the Sanderson sisters from completing their wicked potion before the sun rises. Play potion ingredients to the cauldron and match all the colors or ingredients.

Funko Pop! Chip ‘n’ Dale Christmas Treasures Game — As a huge fan of Pluto’s Christmas Tree, this was an “instant pre-order” for me. The fast-paced, easy-to-learn card game features beautiful illustrations inspired by the classic 1950’s Disney Christmas cartoons. I cannot wait.

Sorry! Disney Villains – This family game combines classic Sorry! gameplay with a Disney Villains-inspired board, spell cards, and pawns featuring favorite characters. This is more on the superficial side, but if you’re looking for a classic game with a Disney twist, you can’t go wrong here.

Disney Villains Monopoly — This is a fun twist on Monopoly, with Poison Apple and Power cards, plus players hiring infamous Disney villains, and buying and selling Villain Contracts instead of locations.

Mirabel Encanto Fashion Doll 312x620

Mirabel Encanto Fashion Doll – All things Encanto still seem incredibly popular, and this Mirabel doll is high-quality and relatively inexpensive.

Princess Activity Tote – Not my area of expertise (yet), but this playset looks fun and is another cheap gift option.

Frozen Arendelle Castle – Another popular princess playset that readers seem to love.  

Disney Treasures from The Vault, LE Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Plush – These Amazon exclusive dolls are made in partnership with D23 as part of the Treasures From the Vault Plush collection. They’re now almost half off. 

Even More Disney Books

Disneyland Taschen Disney Book 265

Walt Disney’s Disneyland – The best theme park book to be released in years (read our full review of it here), this is a must-have for Disneyland fans. Even if you’re a more of a Florida person, there’s a good amount on Walt Disney here, making it a worthwhile option for WDW fans, too.

From All of Us to All of You: The Disney Christmas Card – This oversized coffee table book goes through the history of the Disney Christmas card designs with lavish artwork of the cards. It also serves as a history lesson on the Walt Disney Studios, as its most legendary artists created many of the card designs, and those artists are profiled throughout the book.

Maps of the Disney Parks – The next two books are staples of our gift-giving guides, and that’s in part because they are both titles that look really nice, making them eye-catching gifts.

The Disney Monorail: Imagineering a Highway in the Sky — If you’re a fan of Disney’s monorails (who isn’t?!), you’ll love this. There’s a ton of concept art and photos, as the authors take readers on a historical ride the Highway in the Sky. From Walt Disney’s Progress City ambitions to the future of this innovative transportation system.

Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food — This is neither a cookbook nor a phony attempt at sharing foods Walt Disney might’ve liked. Rather, it’s a look at the history of the parks with rare photos, all through the prism of food. Don’t let the title put you off–it’s actually more unique as a result of that premise, while still being approachable and interesting to all fans.

Walt Disney Imagineering: A Behind the Dreams Look at Making More Magic Real – This huge book by WDI is hardly new at this point, but it is so good that we can’t resist including it. This beautiful title is actually a sequel to another excellent book that’s now out of print (that we’d also highly recommend).
