It is hard to believe but the holidays are almost upon us! And that means it is once again time for MiceChat’s Holiday Gift Guide. Everything in this guide can be purchased from the comfort of your couch, no visit to the Parks is needed. There are toys, books, and plenty of items to keep your whole family comfy and cozy this winter. Let’s take a look!
[Note: Given the current shipping and stocking issues overwhelming the ports, I would highly recommend placing orders for your gifting purposes as soon as possible.]
Funko POP! Marvel Holiday: Gingerbread Spider-Man Figure ($11)
Created for the 2021 holiday season, this Funko POP! Holiday: Gingerbread Spider-Man vinyl figure is one sweet treat. The 3.75-inch tall toy reenvisions the teenage Avenger as a gingerbread cookie. The details on Spider-Man’s suit as well as the web he is swinging on all appear as though they are made out of royal icing, decorating a cookie base. It is a fun seasonal twist on the character that not only sounds fun as a concept but works especially well with the Funko POP! style of figures. And as an added bonus, this one is a bobblehead!
The Funko POP! Marvel Holiday: Gingerbread Spider-Man figure is available to pre-order from Entertainment Earth (releases this October), Big Bad Toy Store (releases this October), and Amazon (releases December 3).
Build-a-Bear Workshop’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Vampire Teddy Plush ($30)
Vampire Teddy is perhaps the most memorable of Jack Skellington’s twisted toys in The Nightmare Before Christmas. And while there have been several iterations of this plush toy sold over the years, one of which is available in Disney Parks right now, Build-a-Bear Workshop’s version is what I consider the best one yet. The stuffed bear measures 16 inches tall (versus Disney’s 12-inch one), which makes it just the right size for fans of all ages to hug. And his smile looks ever so slightly more friendly.
Build-a-Bear Workshop’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Vampire Teddy Plush is available now as an online-exclusive item.
Disney Treasures From the Vault: Limited Edition Babes in Toyland Soldiers Plush ($39.99)
When MiceChat first posted about this wonderfully nostalgic set, I was immediately smitten and I think anyone who grew up watching Babes in Toyland (currently available on Disney Plus) will feel similarly. Even if the film wasn’t a holiday staple in your giftee’s household, these characters will also bring fond memories to those who have experienced one of Disney’s holiday parades, where a band of toy soldiers marches through Disneyland. As for the plush toys themselves, each one measures 14 inches tall and is dressed in a soft velvet uniform, embellished with faux leather and gold accented details. Given the size of these two toys, they could also serve decor around your house, should you purchase a set for yourself.
The Disney Treasures From the Vault: Limited Edition Babes in Toyland Soldiers Plush is available now, exclusively on Amazon.
Funko Mickey and the Beanstalk Board Game ($20)
Funko’s Mickey and the Beanstalk Board Game a charming nod to the animated short of the same name in Disney’s 1947 cartoon feature, Fun and Fancy Free. The gameplay is cooperative rather than competitive, encouraging friends and family to work together to take food and the Golden Harp from the Giant’s Castle in the clouds and return them to Happy Valley. A fun kinetic element of the game board is the beanstalk itself, which players’ characters spin down to return to Happy Valley. The game supports 2 to 4 players, ages 4 and up. Game sessions typically last about 30 minutes. Watch the video below to view the rules and see how the game plays out.
Funko’s Mickey and the Beanstalk Board Game is available now.
Knitting with Disney by Tanis Gray ($29.99)
Do you have a Disney-loving knitter on your gifting list? Tanis Gray’s Knitting with Disney is filled with 28 different patterns themed to different Disney characters, ranging in skill level from beginner to advanced. Projects include toys, apparel, cosplay accessories, and home decor. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that it includes patterns based on a mix of popular characters (Tinker Bell, Ariel) as well as less-represented ones (Kuzco, Queen of Hearts) as well.
Knitting with Disney by Tanis Gray is available to preorder now with a publication date of November 9, 2021.
Marvel Meow by Nao Fuji ($14.99 for a hardcover copy, $10.99 for a digital version)
The comics compiled in this book debuted on Marvel’s Instagram account. They are centered around Captain Marvel’s “cat” Chewie (Goose in the movie) and detail her encounters with different Marvel characters, both good and bad. Comedic in tone, these vignettes feature cameos from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, like Spider-Man Thanos, as well as those are not included, like Deadpool. Marvel fans and cat fans are sure to enjoy this one.
Marvel Meow by Nao Fuji is available now in hardcover and on several digital platforms (Google Play, iBooks, Kindle/Comixology, and Nook).
Eeyore Hooded Fleece Throw for Adults ($29.99)
This fleece throw will follow you wherever you go, thanks to the hood and button fastener that secures the blanket around your shoulders. The inner lining is a soft sherpa fabric with a darling allover print on the exterior featuring Pooh and his friends surrounded by clouds and raindrops. And to add the “character” of the accessory, Eeyore’s ears and tail are sewn in their appropriate places.
The Eeyore Hooded Fleece Throw for Adults is available now.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse Holiday Loungefly Mini Backpack ($85)
This wintery Mini Backpack was created by Loungefly, exclusively for Disney Parks. Mickey and Minnie’s ski lift actually sways back and forth thanks to the metal fastener that attaches the piece to the body of the backpack. Behind the pair are a ski lodge and a snow-capped castle, surrounded by decorated pine trees. Flocked snowflakes dot the exterior, adding another layer of texture. Finally, on the backside, Pluto waits patiently with his keg of hot cocoa. This accessory is part of Walt’s Holiday Lodge Collection.
The Mickey and Minnie Mouse Holiday Loungefly Mini Backpack is available now.
Mickey Mouse Holiday Woven Shirt for Men ($59.99)
This woven plaid shirt is part of Walt’s Holiday Lodge Collection. And just in case you couldn’t tell from the aesthetic, the graphics on the front chest as well as the back both say “Season’s Greetings from Walt’s Holiday Lodge.” The back also has an image of a bundled-up Mickey Mouse, drawn in the classic art style. The front simply has the initials “HL,” dotted with a Hidden Mickey.
The Mickey Mouse Holiday Woven Shirt for Men is available now.
Minnie Mouse Holiday Knit Cardigan Sweater for Women ($59.99)
This cardigan is knit from chenille, a huggably soft fiber, with metallic accents woven in to add a bit of sparkle. Made in cocoon style, the cardigan is designed to be slightly oversized without being unflattering. This particular one has pleated, dropped shoulders, and a center seam down the back. Its three-quarter length sleeves are great when making cookies because you don’t have to worry about getting dough or icing on the ribbed cuffs. Topping off the look is the Minnie Mouse appliqué on the chest. This item is from Walt’s Holiday Lodge Collection.
The Minnie Mouse Holiday Knit Cardigan Sweater is available now.
Chip ‘n Dale Holiday Pullover Sweater for Kids ($32.99)
Chip and Dale hit the slopes on this pullover sweater made just for kids. The chipmunks are a combination of embroidered appliqué and screen-printed details. Woven appliqué makes up the phrase “Just Chill” also seen on the sweater’s front. Striped cuffs with matching hem round out the piece. Like the Loungefly Mini Backpack, Mickey Woven Shirt, and Minnie Knit Cardigan, this Pullover Sweater is from Walt’s Holiday Lodge Collection.
The Chip ‘n Dale Holiday Pullover Sweater for Kids is available now.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse Chanukah Fleece Throw ($74.99)
For those of us who celebrate Chanukah, Disney is selling a handful of items specifically themed to the Jewish Festival of Lights. The artwork on this fleece throw is the same one that has been used since 2019 but at least the placement is different than last year. The art depicts Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the classic art style exchanging presents with a dreidel and candles in the background. “Light, Laughter, and Latkes” is written beneath the scene. The blanket measures 60 inches by 72 inches, a great size for cuddling up in while the candles are burning low.
The Mickey and Minnie Mouse Chanukah Fleece Throw is available now.
