Comicon Holiday Gift Guide 2025: Stocking Stuffers
by Tony Thornley
Greetings and happy holidays, no matter what seasonal holiday you celebrate! Welcome to Comicon.com’s annual holiday gift guide. Whether you’re here looking for ideas for a geeky family member, for a few ideas for your personal wish list, or just to do a little shopping for yourself, you’ve come to the right place.
Welcome to our fourth and final entry, this time for everything else our team suggested, that we’re calling stocking stuffers! That includes apparel, dice, calendars and more! So let’s just jump in!
Amethyst-Frosted RPG Dice By Victory Point Games
Yes, they are expensive. But imagine the look on your fellow gamers faces when you whip out these actual amethyst dice. Mined from gem deposits in Brazil and Uruguay, these spectacular looking dice will be the envy of your party. The set includes D4 to D20– but that’s all that standard here. Imagine felling a dragon with a natural 20, vibrantly displayed in these purple hues. If purple isn’t your color, Victory Point Games has other stones to choose from. (Tom Smithyman)
2026 Doctor Who Desk Block Calendar By BBC
Doctor Who fans will need to wait nearly all of 2026 before seeing their beloved time traveler again. With the show not expected to return until the Christmas episode, you can tide yourself over with this daily reminder of what you’re missing. The full-color calendar features Whovian trivia, quotes, facts, and imagery from across the show’s long history. Whether you are a Tom Baker fan or prefer Ncuti Gatwa, this calendar will serve as your personal TARDIS as you travel through 2026. (Tom Smithyman)
Trek The Halls Holiday Sweater By Star Trek
Going to a holiday party but don’t want to get all decked out? This truly ugly holiday sweater has you covered. Emblazoned with phasers, Starfleet chevrons, and even the U.S.S. Enterprise, this holiday décor will make you the envy of every Trekker in attendance. A word of warning though: it’s red, likely to celebrate the season. But every Trek fan knows that wearing red usually brings catastrophe. Wear with caution! (Tom Smithyman)
“Bumbles Bounce” Shirt From RSVLTS
RSVLTS has long established itself as the place for the sartorial geek (who is a little flush with cash because, boy howdy, are they expensive for shirts). Now, the sharp-dressed, stop-motion & holidays-loving nerd in your life can don this gay apparel featuring everyone’s favorite claymation abominable snowman, the Bumble (and his eventual pal, Yukon Cornelius). Bonus: the pattern is subtle enough in terms of Christmas iconography that it could be worn all year round, keeping it out of the “wear it once a year to a holiday party” box/drawer/closet corner!
Star Wars Darth Vader Gingerbread Holiday Sweater From Boxlunch
Sweaters have become a tradition during the holiday season, and they also serve as an opportunity to showcase your fandom. The Star Wars Darth Vader Gingerbread Holiday Sweater from BoxLunch is an adorable way to get into the festive spirit while also showing your leanings towards the Dark Side. The color palette leans more towards an Imperial officer uniform, but still incorporates traditional red and green. Best of all are the gingerbread versions of iconic Star Wars characters and vehicles placed throughout including TIE fighters, stormtroopers, Boba Fett, and of course, Darth Vader. (Gary Catig)
Merry Christmas Squaxx – Something Festive To Wear From 2000 AD
You know you’ll be dragged into the Christmas jumper thing at some point, whether it’s a works do or some family thing, so you might as well go into it wearing something everyone will be asking about, right?
So, why not bedeck yourself this holiday season in something strange from 2000 AD, the finest Brit sci-fi anthology for nearly five decades?
Plenty of designs to choose from, but this year I’m picking the premium knit design to celebrate all things 2000 AD and confuse the relatives – so much better than the drokk you get from Walmart this time of year! (Richard Bruton)
For The Doctor Who Fan In Your Life – Play All Your Tunes On The TARDIS Bluetooth Speaker
Whether they’re a fan of Tom Baker, Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jodi Whittaker, or Ncuti Gatwa, the Doctor Who fan in your life will absolutely love this wonderfully silly TARDIS Bluetooth speaker.
Six inches tall, with all the sound clips you want (materialize, dematerialize, cloister bell, flight, and turbulence), it’s sure to raise a smile come Christmas morning.
Bluetooth connecting, 2.5 inch speakers to play all your loved ones fave music, USB rechargeable, and a funky LED light on top for powering on, this one’s a must for all your Doctor Who loving loved ones. (Richard Bruton)
Sometimes these gift lists concentrate on the high-end stuff, 50 bucks plus at a time. But there’s a joy in the small, cheap stuff as well, perfect for packing in the stockings to be opened on Christmas morning, or for that Secret Santa at work!
And if you’ve got anyone who’s into all things Marvel, there’s some great little gifts available on Etsy. I’ve already picked up a set of these Marvel fridge magnets — Cap’s shield, Mjölnir, Stormbreaker, and Tony’s Arc Reactor, all ready to hold those pizza and Chinese menus this Christmas when you’re just that little sick of turkey! (Richard Bruton)
Handmade Crochet Heroes
Again, it doesn’t have to be hugely expensive. But something handmade and beautiful will always be a well-received present.
Over on Etsy, there’s plenty of gorgeous little presents made by hugely talented folks. But there’s something just so sweet about seeing some of our favourite characters done in crochet. If you’ve got the crocheting talent, just type in ‘Marvel superhero crochet pattern’ ‘Star Wars crochet pattern,’ or whatever particular bit of fandom you belong to. But for the rest of us, me included, there are plenty who do the work for you. Again, just head to Etsy and search to your heart’s content.
But here’s a couple I loved, by one very talented maker. Seriously cute Marvel Superhero crocheted figures and, even cuter, Baby Yoda/Groku baby rattles – perfect gifts for kids/adults, or those expecting their own bundles of joy this year!

RSVLTS Stranger Things “Welcome To Hellfire” Kunuflex Short Sleeve Shirt
RSVLTS (which I recently learned is pronounced “Roosevelts,” not “Results”) offers up this ridiculously comfortable licensed Stranger Things shirt in time for year-end gift-giving holidays. The print is black and red paisley that integrates Eddie Munson’s Hellfire Club logo and demon skull. (Brendan Allen)
