18 Gifts for Stranger Things Fans Who Never Want to Leave Hawkins

We waited so long for the fourth season of Stranger Things to finally stream, and now that it’s over, we have mixed feelings. On one hand, the latest season was the most grown-up to date, with plenty of twists and turns to keep us guessing as the core group of kids started high school. On the other hand, it ended on such a cliffhanger that we’re a little nervous for the fifth and final season to debut. Vecna is a serious baddie, and it seems like nobody is safe — no matter how many times they play Kate Bush.

For now, we’re embracing our love of all things Hawkins as we gear up for the inevitable end. And what better way to showcase a fandom than by buying into it? The holidays are around the corner, and if you’re looking for some cool Stranger Things gifts for yourself or fellow fans, there’s plenty out there to choose from.

To help narrow it down, we’ve put together a few of our favorite selections. From cute merch and cool collectibles to unique items any fan will appreciate, read on for the best Stranger Things gifts.
