As a company, Disney covers a lot of territory. When people talk about loving Disney, they could mean the films, the parks, the television channel, or the different arms of the company such as Lucasfilm and Marvel. That wide reach makes it both easy and challenging to find the right gift for the Dis-nerd in your life. We’ve got a stack of suggestions for the folks on your list who are enthusiastic about the company’s animated films — both classic and new — and theme parks.
ART
11×14 Pirates of the Caribbean Print – “We wants the redhead!” You know that redhead from the wench auction in Pirates of the Caribbean? You can see her earlier in the ride in a painting. She’s clearly embraced the pirate lifestyle, and Etsy seller Savanna Rodriguez has recreated the iconic image from the theme park attraction.
Snow White – This 17â x 22â painting by Ragnar is offered by Acme Art and showcases all the most iconic images from Snow White. The poison apple, the mirror, the crown, and the princess – it’s all here in a striking take on Disney’s first animated feature length film. It’s limited to 125 pieces.
11″ x 14″ Frozen’s Queen Elsa: Let It Go – Celebrate Elsa’s memorable “Let It Go” moment from Frozen with this beautiful papercraft version of Arendelle’s Queen by A Paper Place. The art is made from card stock and set into a deep shadow box and made to order. You’ll need to buy this as soon as possible to receive it in time for Christmas.
The Art of the Disney Golden Books by Charles Solomon – Disney’s Golden Books have been published since 1933. This book features pages of lovely illustrations, interviews with animators who were inspired by Disney Golden Books, and paintings by artists who inspired the Golden Book imagery. It comes with a large helping of nostalgia.
WEARABLES
Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Earrings – If you have someone on your list who appreciates unique jewelry, then these are the earrings you’re looking for. Etsy shop Juniper and Ivy has the Disney cameo earrings pictured above and many other options. They’re made from alder wood and laser engraved.
Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas bottle necklace – This beautiful necklace by Urania Art is a wearable masterpiece. It features the curled hill from A Nightmare Before Christmas sculpted from polymer clay and painted with acrylics and metallic pigments. The scene in a bottle measures 1 3/4″ tall by 3/4 ” wide. It’s just the thing for the Tim Burton fanatic in your life.
Disneyland and Mary Poppins Shoes – Etsy shop Kissa This Art has a dazzling variety of Disney-inspired hand painted shoes. This pair featuring Disneyland (the shoe has a Dole Whip!) and Mary Poppins is just one of many detailed and colorful designs. The shoes are Keds painted with acrylic paints and are made to order. Again, you’ll want to place your order in as quickly as possible for Christmas.
TOYS
Baymax Plush – Baymax from Big Hero 6, Disney’s latest animated feature, is bound to make anyone smile. He’s so cute and cuddly that the recipient of this 15″ plush would probably love it even if he or she hasn’t seen the film. In fact, when in doubt about what to purchase this holiday season, just get something with Baymax on it. Automatic win.
HOUSEWARES
Haunted Mansion Bat Ice Tray – This cool silicone ice tray makes it possible to re-create the bats from the Haunted Mansion attraction stanchions. It can be used for ice, for chocolate, for Jell-O, or even for resin. Anyone who likes to spend time in the kitchen and appreciates Disney’s theme parks will probably get a kick out of this product.
Chip Mug – The cutest little mug from Beauty and the Beast is an actual drinking mug available from the Disney Store. The sculpt looks just like Chip but fortunately does not talk or sing. Seriously, can you imagine how terrifying it would be if your morning cup of coffee or tea spoke to you? No thanks.
