Not all of us can afford to give the gift of a $200 unique lightsaber or the Lego Death Star set to our favorite Star Wars fans but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other gift options for your friend from the galaxy far, far away.
Boardwalk Times compiled a list of the best gifts to get your favorite Jedi, Sith, or bounty hunter this holiday season.
For the swear-in Mandalorians (or the ones who watch it to thirst over Pedro Pascal)
No need to hide your attraction to our masked marauder. We understand 😉 But if you’re in a situation where maybe having a picture of shirtless Pedro Pascal isn’t ideal, flaunt your affection with these light-weight “Mandalorian face-masks.” There are three face masks in a pack to either share with other fellow Mando-lovers or to switch around throughout the week. This is the way.
For the Stanakins:
This throw pillow collage of the beautiful Hayden Christensen throughout his many movie roles, like Stephen Glass but the exceptional amount of emphasis as Anakin Skywalker from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. You’ll be holding this bad boy all night long. Available for purchase through Redbubble.
When you want your home to smell like Luke’s Tatooine home
Let’s be honest, we’re all curious at what that Blue Milk they drink in Star Wars smells and tastes like. Though we aren’t all able to go to Galaxy’s Edge to have a glass ourselves, many people have tried copycat recipes of this blue drink. If you’re not feeling brave enough to try and make it yourself, strike a match on these hand-poured, 12-ounce Blue Milk candles to feel like you’re sitting at the dinner table with Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen. This candle combines the smells of coconut and fresh honeydew and will smell just like the drink at Galaxy’s Edge tastes.
For those who keep their Kyber’s close
Some girls like diamonds. Others would rather stick with Kyber crystals. These handcrafted Kyber crystals come from a quarts stone and necklaces are attached to a gold wire and chain.
Each purchase comes with a jewelry card and information card with the meaning of each kyber color, along with a mini lightsaber with the same color as your kyber. This item ships free in the U.S.
When the movies just aren’t enough:
The Star Wars original trilogy films are turning 40 years old and to celebrate their releases, award-winning and new-coming Star Wars authors are expanding the story by writing new perspectives and viewpoints throughout the films. The most recent edition of this series, The Empire Strikes Back: From a Certain Point of Viewwas released this past November with 40 stories for 40 years of the iconic Star Wars film. (And check out our review for it here)
For the plant mother who just ~never~ has enough plants
The Child’s cradle isn’t just a carrier for the galaxy’s cutest baby. This FYE Baby Yoda planter will give a pop of color to your planter shelves and show everyone where your allegiance really lies in the fandom universe. And if your friend, S.O, or sibling is not the best at keeping up with plants, don’t fret because this plant is fake, so it’ll be still standing all year long to keep The Child safe and cozy.
For the Jedi Master’s who need a drink
Much like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones, sometimes we all just need a drink after a long day of fighting the Sith and chasing after our Padawan learners. These handmade wine glasses are the perfect holders for your Lyme’s rose juice, Green Milk Cooler, or Corellian nectar and have three different message options. Alcohol is not included with this purchase.
For the honorary Clone Force 99 inductees
Clone Force 99, or more casually known as “The Bad Batch” made their debut earlier this year with the premiere of the final season of The Clone Wars and captured our clone loving hearts from the second they came on the screen. Show your love and support of our favorite dysfunctional clone brigade with this Bad Batch short-sleeve T-shirt with the helmets of the four original Bad Batch clones before their animated show hits our screens in the upcoming years!
For the Rebel of the friend group
At some point, we’ve all dreamed about being a part of the rebellion on Lothal and flying across the galaxy in The Ghost. While we wait impatiently for another season of Rebels to come out, support your favorite Rebel Scum with this “The Ghost” pullover sweatshirt. This cotton-rich fleece is that perfect quarantine sweatshirt for binge-watching Rebels or shamelessly reading Kanan/Hera fan-fictions.
For the friend who always has the high ground
We’ve all seen the memes that “mistaken” Jesus Christ for our favorite Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. So why not take that just one step further with these Obi-Wan Kenobi Saint Candles. Bless your home or your quaint sand dune hut with this handmade saint candle that will surely make you say “hello there” every time you light the wick. Maybe it’ll even help keep all the evil spirits away (we’re looking at you Darth Maul)
For the chef that has been gifted with the Force
Some of us are masters at using chopsticks and some of us are masters at properly wielding a lightsaber. And then there are the overachievers who are just good at doing both. Stun your white family members with your chopstick and lightsaber skills with these light-up lightsaber chopsticks. This pack comes with four, light-up lightsaber chopsticks in blue, red, green, and purple every time you order take-out, it becomes a dual of the fates for the last piece of orange chicken.
For the friend who always has the coolest jewelry
OK, sure. Lightsaber earrings are cool. But take that to the next level with these Lego Star Wars character earrings. Show who you’re really loyal to in the galaxy with these mini-fig earrings of your favorite Star Wars characters like Yoda, Darth Vader, or a stormtrooper. These earrings are sold as single pieces to allow mixing and matching for your custom combination and are handmade with sterling silver earring hooks.
For the Bo-KaStans
(Spoiler) I don’t know about you but I was over-enthused when I saw our girl Bo-Katan Kryze jetpack onto that freighter in Season Two of The Mandalorian and rescue our boy Mando and The Child while making her live-action debut. Show your love and support for our favorite former Death Watch member with this limited edition, 100% cotton T-shirt.
