As we brace ourselves for the holiday season, we need to gear up for holiday shopping. And there’s nothing more fun than browsing gifts that will entertain the TV fans in your life—and it’s okay if that person is you, of course. To help everyone get started, The A.V. Club has put together a guide of 20 perfect presents to celebrate television, from Stranger Things and Love Is Blind to Succession and The Last Of Us, we’ve got you covered.
Price: $22.95
Succession may be over, but Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) and Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) live on in our hearts as one of the best chaotic duos on television. If you know someone who agrees, they’ll appreciate this T-shirt commemorating the word salad result of Tom and Greg workshopping the new ATM slogan, “We Here For You,” on the fly. Greg says, “It’s good because it’s not clear exactly what the hell it means, so lots of wiggle room.” That pretty much sums up the philosophy of the Roy family in one short soundbite. [Cindy White]
The Last of Us engraved mason jar mug
Price: $20.95
Usually, holiday mugs bring to mind images of sipping hot cocoa by a warm fire. But The Last Of Us isn’t a typical prestige TV show, and this isn’t a typical holiday mug. This large glass mason jar has a sturdy handle, and while you can absolutely use it to hold your favorite beverage, mason jars are also awesome for storing and preserving food. Multipurpose items are a necessity in an apocalypse, making this jar a surprisingly thoughtful piece of swag. [Jen Lennon]
Price: $24.99
Show your love for Big Daddy Mushroom with this adorably mutated rubber duck. Though he’s only in one scene, Adam Basil’s Bloater stole the show when he appeared on The Last Of Us. He’s an extra-special, extra-mutated version of the series’ zombie-like creatures, and while he’s objectively bad news, the beefy boy’s commanding presence is undeniable on screen. This little guy is sure to turn heads—even if it’s in horror, revulsion, confusion, or all of the above. [Jen Lennon]
What We Do In The Shadows Guillermo Funko Pop
Price: $12.99
For the Funko Pop! collector or the What We Do In The Shadows fan in your life (bonus points if it’s the same person), this figure is a cute addition to any collection. It captures the essence of Guillermo de la Cruz (Harvey Guillen) and the existential conflict that defines him in one adorable plastic figure. Look how unsure he is holding that wooden stake. He’s ready and able to slay a vampire if he needs to protect his friends (who are also vampires), but if there’s some way to possibly avoid it, he’d also be cool with that. [Cindy White]
The White Lotus Italian dream sweatshirt
Price: $45.95
This fun sweatshirt captures a real Italian dream, at least as it was interpreted by Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya McQuoid in the second season of HBO’s The White Lotus. It features a stylish illustration of Tanya’s memorable Vespa scooter ride along the Sicilian coast with her husband before, well, we wouldn’t want to spoil it if you haven’t seen the show. Just ask The White Lotus fan in your life about it after they open this gift and squeal with joy. [Cindy White]
Price: $45.92
Like it or not, Friends remains an evergreen TV comedy even almost 20 years after its conclusion. So why not honor that by indulging in a fun game of Clue that features all six main characters and various locations from NBC’s hit sitcom? You can even dub your game night The One Where Everyone Had Fun (or possibly something cleverer). [Saloni Gajjar]
Golden Girls Phunny Plush Bundle
Price: $65.99
You’ve been down the road and back again, so what’s the best way to thank your friends for being a friend? With this set of Golden Girls plushies, of course. The beloved characters from the classic sitcom—Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose—are all represented here in their classic outfits. They’re sold separately and also as a set of four, so you can pick a favorite or give them all together. Cheesecake is not included. [Cindy White]
Only Murders In The Building mug
Price: $14.95
A fun way to celebrate the holidays with the Only Murders In The Building fan in your life is to give them an easy gift like this mug. It doubles as a memory of the Hulu comedy (the Arconia label! The puzzle pieces!) and it captures the Christmas spirit: The print is that of an ugly sweater. [Saloni Gajjar]
Grey’s Anatomy ugly holiday sweater
Price: $32.95
Speaking of ugly sweaters, this is kind of a sweet deal for anyone who loves Grey’s Anatomy. The red fleece crewneck goes perfectly with any Christmas mood, and it’s got the most famous quote from Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. McDreamy, played by Patrick Dempsey, a.k.a. People’s Sexiest Man Alive of the Year. [Saloni Gajjar]
Stranger Things hot sauce trio
Price: $30
Did someone say Hellfire Club? You wouldn’t necessarily think to combine hot sauce with the Stranger Things fandom, but then again, Hellfire is quite an inspiration. So for the ST fan in your life (or for the food lover), here’s a fun, literally spicy gift. Each sauce reference an element of Netflix’s hit sci-fi drama: Benny’s Burgers (2/10 heat), Surfer Boy Pizza (3/10 heat), and, yes, Hellfire Club (6/10 heat). Get some wings and start the rewatch. [Saloni Gajjar]
Rick & Morty Hallmark ornaments
Price: $24.99
These ornaments capture Rick and Morty in a moment of panic, which is not uncommon for them, but it definitely adds a whimsical element to any tree. You can pair them with basically any other ornaments for a funny little tableau—maybe they’re terrified of a cute, innocent dog, or maybe they’re not getting good vibes from Santa and his elves. However you decide to style them, these guys are sure to stand out from the rest of your holiday decorations. [Jen Lennon]
Price: $29.95
Workplace sitcoms love to remind the audience that colleagues can be good friends, too, and no one is doing that better right now than ABC’s Abbott Elementary. To kill two birds with one stone—getting a gift for your coworker who hopefully has good TV taste—this AE tumbler is perfect. It’s sleek, useful, and a lovely reminder that, yes, work friends are very much still friends. [Saloni Gajjar]
Chainsaw Man Chibi Pochita sweatshirt
Price: $59.90
Nothing says Christmas like a nod to the gory, horny world of Chainsaw Man. There’s nothing about this holiday sweater featuring little Chainsaw Devil Pochita that we’d call ugly, but your mileage may vary. Sold exclusively through Box Lunch, in stores and online, it’s unisex and comes in a range of sizes. It makes a great gift for fans of the popular anime series, but if you want to pick up one for yourself to wear to your next holiday party, we won’t judge. [Cindy White]
Yellowstone Dutton Ranch blanket
Price: $44.90
This throw blanket is perfect for the Western soap opera fan in your life, even if they’d be very angry with you for describing their favorite show that way. Sure to be popular with dads and uncles across the country, this blanket has some nice Yellowstone thematic elements without looking too much like a basic piece of promo gear. And, at 46 inches by 60 inches, it’s the perfect size for a cozy TV marathon. [Jen Lennon]
Loki Time Variance Authority tote bag
Price: $19.95
Let’s hope this tote bag lasts you for all time, always, as you or the Loki fan in your life go grocery shopping, out for a picnic, off to work, or anywhere else. Disney’s holiday shop has crafted a simple, smart gift for adults who enjoy Marvel in the form of a tote labeled with the Time Variance Authority logo. If The New Yorker can do it, why not the MCU? And with Loki’s second season now over, it’s as good a time as any to celebrate it. [Saloni Gajjar]
Price: $20
There’s a pretty great chance that your average Love Is Blind viewer will require a beverage, probably of the alcoholic kind, to fully process everything that happens in the dating reality series. And there’s no better way to consume it and feel fancy than sipping wine via this metallic golden goblet. Let the drama unfold. [Saloni Gajjar]
Emily In Paris official cookbook
Price: $17.89
Don’t say Emily In Paris never gave us anything. If nothing else, it delivered some visually sumptuous dishes thanks to the fictional Chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). Author Kim Laidlaw has now written a cookbook (the official EIP one!) that features 75-plus recipes seen on the show. Think of it as a culinary French getaway for the holidays. [Saloni Gajjar]
Price: $54.95
Show your support for AFC Richmond with this Ted Lasso sweater. Sure, the team may not have come out on top in the end, but this year’s third and final season was a fitting goodbye for the most relentlessly optimistic show on TV. A big Ted Lasso smile isn’t required when wearing this sweatshirt, but hopefully it’ll help imbue your day-to-day with a little more positivity. [Jen Lennon]
Price: $69.95
Hey, everyone needs to stay warm in the winter, right? There’s nothing cozier than a sherpa blanket, especially if it’s got famous quotes from one of the funniest TV comedies of our time. NBC’s The Office blanket will probably make you press play on the show yet again because it features designs with several key references: Pretzel Day, Party Planning Committee, “Boom! Roasted,” and our personal favorite, a stapler in jello. [Saloni Gajjar]
Gen V Godolkin University Crest Sweatshirt
Price: $42.99
You may not be able to attend Godolkin University in real life, but you can at least pretend you did with this Gen V crest sweatshirt. It looks just like actual college merch, except it’s promoting a school for superheroes with a dark secret. That secret also calls into question why anyone would want to attend Godolkin, even as a fantasy, but hey, we’re not here to judge. [Jen Lennon]
