Season One of Stranger Things was so perfect and tight and well-acted, that I was honestly nervous about there bein more seasons. Then instead they totally upped the ante and intensified that nostalgic comedy and cold fear that has me muttering, “No, no, no, no, no,” at the screen constantly.
I’m going to shut up about it now because spoilers aren’t kind, but if you haven’t dug into the lastest season yet–get on it.
From what I’ve seen, the people who don’t like Stranger Things, don’t, but the people who do like it, really love it. I mean, I’m so into it I wrote a best Stranger Things Halloween costumes guide.
That makes Stranger Things a bountiful source of gift inspiration–and possibly makes your life easier. If there’s someone on your list who likes Stranger Things, chances are they’re going to get excited about anything Stranger Things related.
Now let’s tie on our camo headband, get our compasses out, and get down to business.
Maybe you can’t wear a full on Stranger Things Christmas sweater, but you can definitely sneak in these Stranger Things socks. The cotton-blend women’s crew socks have the iconic Stranger Things Christmas lights and Joyce’s scrawled alphabet letters. These would make a great stocking stuffer for a Stranger Things fan.
Carry the spirit of Stranger Things around with you with this charm bracelet. On first glance, it could be any old charm bracelet, but when you look closer you start seeing that this combination of charms is very specific. They include things like a baseball bat, compass, demogorgon, bike, camera, blindfold, and an ax. Strung between the charms are small multicolored beads that look like Joyce’s Christmas lights. It’s an eight inch long bracelet with an adjustable clasp that comes in black velvet drawstring bag.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t actually include the show. Not everyone has Netflix or you may want to cancel your subscription in the future as pricing goes up. This collector’s edition box set includes a DVD and Blu-Ray version of Season One of Stranger Things. It’s packaged to look like an old school VHS tape which was the technology at the time of the show. The outer sleeve looks battered with some fake corner wear and even has the look of one of those neon stickers you’d find on tapes in a used movie bin. The inner box in printed to look just like a VHS tape of Stranger Things. I live for good box design. With this set, no one can take the show you love away from you and you can happily binge-watch in the unthinkable situation when you don’t have WiFi.
Bringing in some Season Two references, this shirt from Superluxe sports the logo for the arcade in Hawkins where the boys have some of their most memorable scenes.
This is another great Easter egg-style piece of Stranger Things clothing, where only fans of the show will know what the Stranger things shirt is referring to. The shirt is screen-printed in America and made of 100 percent cotton. The cut is unisex, but those with petite figures who are used to women’s sizing may want to order a size down. It’s available in small to XXX-large sizes.
