FROM THE EDITORS

IT’S GOOD TO BE A FAN Flaunt it like a green cut crease.

S

ee this gift guide? Not very demure, but very mindful. That is, we thought about it a lot.

Being a fan means you belong to something. Franchises are so much more than pieces of content like movies and TV shows. They are entire universes full of characters, heart, stories, and more — they mean a lot to people, and rightfully so! They connect us, they make us feel seen, and they bring a whole lot of joy.

And when pieces of these worlds we love become reality through merch? Well, that’s when the magic happens.

Our team of pop-culture experts is proud to present our sixth annual holiday gift guide, full of in-your-face, shout-itout-loud, can’t-miss gifts.

If this is your first time picking up The Pop Insider’s Holiday Gift Guide, congrats! Welcome! We’re glad you’re here! This guide is broken down into different merch categories, each of which is packed with options from fandoms old and new. Whether you are interested in apparel and accessories, home goods, games and puzzles, or collectibles, you’ll find something perfect for yourself or the superfan in your life. Plus, our Pop 20 list (page 12) highlights the best of the best products from some of the top properties of the year.

All of the merchandise included in this guide is officially licensed or an original property. While there are some cutesy deep cuts, many of our selections are bold, creative, and fun.

Before we go, we can’t forget the kiddos. If you’ve got pint-size fans-in-training on your shopping list, our Pop Junior section (page 50) features top games, toys, and other gifts for kids, so you can claim your title of “favorite relative” with ease.

Enjoy perusing our latest gift guide, or as we like to call it, “Revenge of the Sixth,” and be sure to check out all of these and more top holiday picks at thepopinsider.com. We wish you all a happy, healthy, geeky holiday season. ✪
