Disney Holiday Gift Guide 2022 Week One
Welcome to my favorite time of the year, the holiday season! Yes, it’s gift-giving time…or, as I like to think of it, my time to shine!
I’m overflowing with holiday spirit throughout the year so the entire month of December is my Super Bowl. Since I’ve been shopping all year, I know what’s good, too.
Here’s week one of my annual holiday gift guide for Disney fans. You’re sure to like something from this list!
A Castle Ornament
We’re still early enough in the holiday season that you can and should be thinking about decorations.
In fact, my wife and I exchange ornaments with some of our friends each year. So, we’re eyeballing this beauty as a potential 2022 gift.
Something I love about this particular ornament is that it comes with the year printed on it. Some people don’t like a timestamp like that, but I disagree.
I adore pulling out the ornaments from previous years and remembering lovely times from prior holiday seasons. I’m a big softie.
Disney Luggage
You can spot me at an airport from all the way across the concourse. That’s because I’m pushing around the most touristy luggage possible!
I am absolutely shameless about my Disney fandom and happily buy all the vacation items that define me as such.
In fact, I suffered a recent heartbreak when my last batch of Disney luggage popped a wheel at the airport.
At the time, I struggled to pull my luggage through baggage claim, but that temporary loss has led to a win. I get to shop for new Disney luggage!
One of the items I’ve had my eye on is this beauty at Amazon. It’s currently on sale as a Cyber Monday deal and is the perfect gift for fans of Mickey and Minnie Mouse!
Mouse Ears Pendant Necklace
My wife has collected lots of Swarovski crystals over the years, and I’m honestly not even sure what that means.
I just know that there are a couple of spots in my house where I have to walk carefully. If I stumble once, it’s a bull in a china shop situation.
Shattered crystal would go everywhere, and my wife would give me that look that every spouse fears the most.
Thankfully, jewelry is a lot safer to a 6’2” dude with terrible balance. So, I highly recommend this gorgeous pendant necklace.
This beauty comes in the shape of Mouse Ears and is in God’s perfect color, blue. Plus, it’s on sale as I type this for about the cost of an IMAX ticket.
Mystery Shack T-Shirt
Longtime readers may recall that I consider Box Lunch the one true store.*
I can and will buy dozens of presents here over the next four weeks because I just can’t help myself. I’m in love with all the fandoms on display.
Box Lunch embraces all of Disney’s beloved intellectual properties, including one of its most underrated, Gravity Falls.
Coincidentally, I recently rewatched the Weirdmageddon three-part event that concluded the series. Doing so made me sad all over again that it’s gone.
Thankfully, Mystery Shack merchandise remains a thing, and this Box Lunch exclusive brings me joy.
PS: The “No Refunds” part of the shirt is a nice touch!
* = ShopDisney doesn’t count!
A Nightmare Before Christmas Cookbook
While we’re talking about Box Lunch, I’ll also throw in this recommendation. It’s a book that appears exclusive to this store.
At a minimum, Amazon doesn’t sell this particular cookbook, at least as far as I can tell. The site shows a similar title, but it features a different cover.
This is The Official Cookbook & Entertaining Guide for Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. It sounds festive but dark.
I’m confident you have a friend with goth tendencies. They’ll get a kick out of the coffee mug filled with bones on the cover.
On a side note, I can’t help but feel that this book and the Amazon one are feuding. The Amazon version promises four parties, while the Box Lunch one indicates five.
Would anyone really throw four or five Nightmare Before Christmas parties? I’m skeptical…but it’s a terrific gift nonetheless!
ScentAir Whisper
I suggest one kind of gift multiple times each year because it’s important to me as a Disney fan and pet owner.
Anyone with a cat or dog knows that they sometimes, well, stink. It’s not their fault, and we adore our furry family anyway. But it IS a problem.
Thankfully, we can solve that problem while also reminding ourselves of Disney all the time at home.
Some enterprising folks can recreate Disney fragrances via candles, diffusers, and other methods.
The most powerful solution along these lines is the ScentAir Whisper, a small rectangular appliance that you can put on any shelf in your home.
This device will circulate your favorite Disney smell of choice throughout your home. And it really works!
We own two of these devices, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Whenever we have one activated, guests always mention it.
The aroma is that pleasant. Even better, ScentAir usually does multiple 50 percent off deals during December. In fact, there’s one happening right now.
A ScentAir for $100 is a terrific deal, my friends! I paid twice that less than three months ago!
A Disney Cruise
Have you heard about the Disney Wish yet? If you haven’t, you should read up on it immediately!
Disney Cruise Line has raised the bar for luxury family vacations thanks to its latest vessel. This massive cruise ship caters to thousands of guests.
However, that’s true of all Disney cruises. What’s different about the Wish is its combination of high-end amenities.
The ship features Disney’s first full-fledged cruise attraction, the AquaMouse. It’s a water coaster that adds Disney cartoon elements at various points.
Also, the dining experiences are frankly the best in the cruise industry.
You can watch a Marvel mini-movie starring your MCU favorites like Paul Rudd or enjoy an Arendelle concert featuring beloved Frozen characters.
The whole experience is absolutely magical to the point that the Disney Wish operated at 90 percent occupancy during its first six months in operation.
Oh yes, that’s the other thing! You still have time to experience the Wish during its first year at sea! Wouldn’t that be something?
You will definitely win the holiday season if you gift your family a voyage on the Disney Wish!
