Best Christmas presents for Stranger Things fans in 2022

1. Stranger Things Blu-rays

Even though Stranger Things is available on Netflix, diehard fans will love owning physical copies of the show. Unfortunately, Netflix hasn’t released season 3 or season 4 on DVD/Blu-ray yet, but we’re hoping that might happen at some point in the future. For now, though, you can at least buy the first two seasons! The packaging alone is worth buying them because the Blu-rays are housed in old-school VHS tapes and look like something you would rent from Steve or Robin at Family Video.

2. Stranger Things books and comics

Did you know there are many tie-in novels and comics to go alongside the television series? While it’s a little unclear just how canon-compliant all of the Stranger Things tie-in content is, they’re still worth reading. There are far too many comics to name here, but you can check out our Stranger Things guide with all the comics and graphic novels listed in chronological order right here!

As for the books, here are all of the novels released thus far:

• Darkness on the Edge of Town by Adam Christopher
• Suspicious Minds by Gwenda Bond
• Runaway Max by Brenna Yovanoff
• Rebel Robin by Amy Rose Capetta
  • There is also a companion podcast with Maya Hawke reprising her role as Robin!
• Lucas on the Line by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

3. Stranger Things Funko Pops

Get the Stranger Things fan in your life some of their favorite characters as Funko Pops! There are dozens of Stranger Things Funko Pops now, with a new batch typically released every season containing some fan-favorite moments and outfits.

4. Stranger Things apparel

Visit the Netflix store to find all sorts of Stranger Things apparel, from clothes inspired by the characters’ outfits in the show to graphic T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts with awesome designs, and much more. Buy your own Hellfire Club T-shirt! Stores like Hot Topic and Amazon also sell lots of Stranger Things apparel.

5. Stranger Things Monopoly

Instead of a regular Monopoly game, buy the Stranger Things version! Play with friends and family as you try to find Will Byers in Hawkins, Indiana. Players can pick an 80s-inspired token or something straight out of the Upside Down as they search the town of Hawkins while trading, buying, and selling various locations and vehicles from the series.

6. Dungeons & Dragons starter kit

Considered one of the world’s best roleplaying games, Dungeons and Dragons is a core component of what makes Stranger Things work. Become an expert in the same league as Eddie, Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will by learning the game with your own Dungeons and Dragons starter kit. The starter set contains everything you need to start your first campaign, including a polyhedral game dice, a rule book, multiple ready-to-play characters, and more.

7. Stranger Things vinyl

Avid vinyl collectors will enjoy setting the mood and atmosphere with the Stranger Things soundtracks on vinyl. You can now get all four seasons on vinyl through retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
