Best Star Wars gifts overall
Best Star Wars gift for Christmas
+ Cosy and warm
+ Surprisingly tasteful
- No pattern on the back
It's become mandatory to break out your 'ugliest' knitwear during the Holiday season, and that makes this one of the best Star Wars gifts for Christmas. As well as being rather cosy, it's surprisingly tasteful - that snowy Hoth theme is the perfect choice. Thanks to being a unisex fit in sizes small to 3X large, it should also hit the mark no matter who you're buying for.
Best cheap Star Wars gift
+ Fun 'igniting' effect
+ Affordable
- Not dishwasher-safe
Want to avoid breaking the bank on Star Wars gifts whilst still avoiding cheap tat? For what it's worth, this novelty mug gets our seal of approval. Pour in coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and the lightsaber hilts at its base will suddenly ignite, filling a once-black design with color. We were given one of these a few years ago, and it quickly became a favorite of ours.
Best Star Wars gift for kids
+ Totally adorable
+ Wonderfully soft to cuddle
- Can be hard to find stock
These delightfully squidgy toys are 'in' right now, so if you want inspiration on what to buy younger fans, you can't go wrong here. They're as cuddly as they look, and we were particularly keen on Chewbacca after seeing it in person because it has so much personality (though Baby Yoda was equally adorable). Just be aware that multiple different sizes are available!
Best Star Wars gift for adults
+ Intricate details
+ Looks awesome on display
- Expensive for the size
If you're buying for an older fan, Lego's dioramas will do the trick. As well as recreating iconic scenes from the films in miniature, they have an intricacy that makes them delightful to put together and look at once they're built. Yoda's swampland home from The Empire Strikes Back is a great example. Layer upon layer of detail brings the location to life, and translucent, 'bubbling' swamp tiles seal the deal on what is one of the better Lego Star Wars sets.
Best Star Wars book gift
+ Ode to the film that started it all
+ Intriguing unseen perspectives
- Less focused on big characters
Containing 40 short stories set during the first Star Wars movie, this book is a genuinely excellent companion to the saga many fans will have missed. Featuring the best and brightest authors and some fantastic ideas that focus on unseen perspectives, like that of the captain whose ship gets boarded at the film's opening, it's a must-have Star Wars gift.
Best Star Wars gift for gamers
+ Strategic gameplay
+ Smart mechanics
- Hard to explain
This version of Disney Villainous had a lot to live up to, but it exceeds those expectations easily. Putting you in command of iconic baddies with their own objectives and strategies, it's a great Star Wars gift for fans that have a competitive edge. Outmaneuvering rivals is a satisfying challenge, and the emphasis on screwing each other over makes for memorably wicked moments.

Best Star Wars gift for droid fans
+ Full of life and personality
+ Greater range of movement
- Very noisy
Lola was a surprise standout from 2022's Obi-Wan series, and this animatronic version properly brings her to life. Yes, it's to scale and looks screen accurate. But the increased range of movement compared to cheaper versions really gives it a sense of life that genuinely took us by surprise. Its little chirps and squawks teamed with its bobbing dances make it feel alive, so it's a delight of a Star Wars gift for droid fans.
Best Star Wars lightsaber gift
+ Incredible attention to detail
+ Phenomenal light effects
- Awkward to swap from display to action modes
From the way it sounds - that intimidating, bassy rumble - to the industrial design, Darth Vader's lightsaber is downright iconic. And frankly, this is the best replica version of it we've ever seen. Although it offers the obligatory audio and lighting effects, everything's been tricked out with the latest bells and whistles from The Black Series. That means gradual ignition, superior clash, laser deflections, and a cool duel effect that's only just been introduced in the latest models. That makes this one hell of a Star Wars gift, and arguably the best Black Series lightsaber yet.
Best premium Star Wars gift
+ Screen-accurate
+ Yes, it's wearable
- Takes up lots of space
This is comfortably one of the coolest replicas we've ever seen. Thanks to hyper-detailed decoration and spot-on painting, it feels as if it's been stolen from a movie set. It also comes apart as per the original trilogy, so any self-respecting fan would go nuts for this Star Wars gift. Even the inside of it is eerily screen-accurate, revealing a complex shell of faux-wires and dials that are bathed in the red light of the helmet's lenses. It's enough to give you chills.
