For the Funko Pop collector
A Funko Pop is the safest gift for a collector because there is one for almost every film, show and game. Look at their shelf first and pick a character from a series they already own. It will slot straight into their display.
Want something that stands out? A Pop! Jumbo figure stands 10 inches tall and becomes the centrepiece of any shelf. Harry Potter's Voldemort with Nagini and The Nightmare Before Christmas's Jack with Zero are both big crowd-pleasers.
New to collecting? Our Funko Pop collecting guide explains box numbers, exclusives and chase variants, so you buy the right one. Browse the full Funko range or every Pop! vinyl figure in stock.
For the anime and manga fan
Anime fans love merch they can use every day. A Studio Ghibli mug for morning tea, a Kirby keychain for their bag, or a Naruto Shippuden backpack for school or work are all winners.
For older fans and serious collectors, scale figures from series like Berserk, Blue Lock and Solo Leveling make a big impression. Not sure where to start? Read our anime merch guide or head straight to the Manga collection.
For kids who love Disney and Marvel
Practical gifts win with parents, and kids still get their favourite characters.
- Frozen fans: backpacks, lunch bags, trolley cases and hair accessories from the Frozen range.
- Superhero fans: 3D backpacks, pencil cases, caps and hoodies from the Avengers range.
- Film lovers: Snoopy, Minions, Ghostbusters and Wall-E gifts in the Movies collection.
A themed backpack or trolley case is a gift they will use long after Christmas, especially for the new school term in January.
For football fans
Football gifts are an easy win for kids and adults. The 25/26 season kit designs are now on backpacks, trolleys and pencil cases. Pick up a Real Madrid 1902 ball, a club beach towel or a pair of F.C. Barcelona trainers. Shop the Real Madrid collection and the wider Sports range.
For jewellery lovers
For a grown-up fan, a piece of jewellery is a quieter way to show their fandom. Our earrings range includes Disney sterling silver pieces (Beauty and the Beast Rose, 101 Dalmatians, Mickey and Minnie) and Barbie sets. Most come in a gift-ready box.
Stocking fillers under £10
Small gifts matter too. These all fit in a stocking:
- Kirby Friends or Kirby Cookie surprise figures and keychains
- Rilakkuma Friends surprise figures
- Pocket Pop! keychains
- Avengers pens, erasers and A5 notebooks
- Disney hair ties and accessories
Order early for Christmas
The most popular figures sell out first every December. We recommend ordering by early December to allow for delivery before Christmas. If a figure is out of stock, message us through our Facebook page or contact form we are a small London-based team and can often help track one down.
FAQs
What is a good gift for someone who collects Funko Pops? Choose a character from a series they already collect, or a larger Pop! Jumbo figure as a showpiece. Check their shelf so you don't buy a duplicate.
What should I buy an anime fan who has everything? Try something practical from a series they love, such as a mug, plush or backpack. Scale figures are a good choice for serious collectors.
