YBMW 2022 Holiday Gift Guide – Holiday-Themed Treats

Hellboy Holiday Ornament
Dark Horse
$29.9
Order Now!

Red is one of the main colors of the holiday season, so why not bring in one of our favorite red comic book heroes to liven up the Christmas tree? We’re talking about Hellboy and while this Hellboy Holiday Ornament actually came out a couple of years ago, it flew under the radar and is a must-have for any fan of Mike Mignola’s creation. The 3 3/4 “ tall ornament features big red in full Santa gear with a sack that’s full of toys and skulls. If the sculpt looks familiar, that’s because it is based on the limited-edition Holiday Hellboy game piece from Mantic Games. If you love Hellboy or know someone who does, this is mandatory for any well-trimmed tree. If Christmas Trees aren’t your thing, the flat base means that this ornament can also work as a table, desk, or shelf decor!


E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 40th Anniversary Ornament
Hallmark
$21.99
Order Now!

It’s hard to believe that E.T is really 40 years old, but the little Reese’s Pieces gobbling alien phoned home into our hearts back in June of 1982. To celebrate the anniversary, Hallmark has created an excellent new Keepsake ornament of E.T. that not only nails the detail of the character in a 4” scale package but also has a light-up chest cavity and a sound chip that has E.T. saying classic lines from the movie including “E.T. Phone Home,” “Elliot,” “Ouch,” and “I’ll be Right Here.” 


Mars Ornament
Yoga Joes
$13.00
Order Now!

If you’re looking for a way to bring something out of this world to your Christmas tree this year, we suggest the Mars Ornament from Yoga Joes. The ornament not only features the full surface of the red planet, but it also has a cross-section cut out with two astronauts on it. If you have any space-lover on your holiday gift list, don’t even give this to them. Just buy it and slip it on their tree and see how long it takes them to notice that you’ve made their Christmas out of this world!


Fawny The Reindeer and Mr Chill
Mindscope
$49.95 Each
Order Now!

These have to be some of the most unique Christmas decorations/ toys that we’ve ever seen. Fawny the Reindeer and Mr Chill are a couple of talking, singing, and joking characters that each have projectors built into their heads. But the screen isn’t the wall, it’s the back side of their faces. The result is a fully animated face that works with over 30 minutes of singing and joking around to help bring in the holidays. Don’t go thinking that this is just the same thing on two different skins. They are different characters completely, so you get a wholly unique experience. If you want a unique holiday decoration that the kids want to play with and everyone will stop to take note of, grab Fawny the Reindeer or Mr. Chill.


Disney The Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Musical Ornament With Light
Hallmark
$39.99
Order Now!

Just because Halloween was a couple of months ago doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be room for something a little spooky on the Christmas tree, especially if you are a fan of Disney’s Haunted Mansion. This spooktacular Keepsake ornament not only features a detailed 5.5” sculpt of the three hitchhiking ghosts: Ezra Beane, Professor Phineas Plump, and Gus, but when you press the button, you are treated to a 32-second clip of the opening monologue and opening music from the Haunted Mansion attraction at the Disney Parks! This is a great gift for any Disney fan this year. 


Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas – The Official Advent Calendar
RP Studios
$26.99
Order Now!

Is there anything more Christmasy than the Charlie Brown Christmas Special? Other than Will Vinton’s Claymation Christmas, we don’t think there is. So, if you’re looking for a way to bring the Peanuts gang into your holiday celebration, we suggest this official advent calendar to help spread the joy throughout the entire month. While most advent calendars just have a little toy or some candy each day, this one is truly an interactive experience! I mean, how many advent calendars play music for you? This one has clips from five of the songs from the classic cartoon. It also has a 72-page retelling of the story from the animated cartoon and daily treats that range from quotes to ornaments you can pull out and put on your own tree. We loved the sweetness of this advent calendar. It isn’t high-tech, but it’s high fun, and it definitely helps get you into the holiday spirit!


Gremlins™ Caroling Gremlin Ornament
Hallmark
$17.99
Order Now!

Forget Die Hard, Gremlins is the best Christmas movie of all time. Sure. John McClain may have stormed the Nakatomi Tower on Christmas Eve, but Gremlins is a much more Christmasy movie. Besides, it has one of the best stories about a Santa getting stuck in a chimney that you’ve ever heard. A great way to show your love for the classic 80s film is with this new Hallmark Keepsake Ornament featuring a caroling Gremlin. Standing at 3.75” tall, this little hangable figurine features a ton of charm and more than a little holiday spirit!


SEGA Genesis Console Ornament With Light and Sound
Hallmark
$22.99
Order Now!

The Sega Genesis landed under Christmas trees for the first time in 1988. While kids today are more familiar with the Sonic movies than the Genesis console, the rest of us can remember the golden age of gaming with this new Hallmark Keepsake Ornament that expertly recreates the design of the original gaming console, complete with a control pad and a Sonic The Hedgehog cartridge loaded up. If just holding the console in your hands or admiring it on your tree isn’t enough. Push the button, watch the power light come on, and listen to the iconic Sega load-up sound along with music from the Green Hill Zone of Sonic!


Santa in Carbonite Star Wars Parody Christmas Ornament
Tree Buddees
$14.95
Order Now!

We don’t know if he refused to give his elves the pay raise they requested or if he never made good on his gambling debts from the weekly poker game he plays with the reindeer, but one thing is for sure. Santa has found himself on the naughty list. How else can you explain this Star Wars parody ornament that features Old Saint Nick encased in carbonite? Santa in Carbonite stands at 3.5” and is made of resin. Whatever the reason, he’s become an awesome, and truly unique, ornament that any Christmas-loving Star Wars fan is going to love! 


Pokemon Advent Calendar
Jazzwares
$54.00
Order Now!

We love advent calendars. They are the perfect way to bring a little bit of excitement to the days that lead up to Christmas. If you have a Pokemon fan in your life, this advent calendar might be exactly the thing you need to help them get through the long December days until Santa helps them catch all their gifts. One of the things that we loved about this calendar is that it comes with 16 different Pokemon figurines including a Santa Pikachu. Also, every one of the figures in the box are the Shiny versions. Along with Pikachu, some of the other characters you can expect to find are Eevee, Piplup, Growlithe, Torchic, Ditto, and Mudkip, just to name a few. The set also comes with a little Pokemon-sized tree and presents so you can slowly build your own little holiday display as you open each new day and find a new surprise!


Hellboy Gift Wrap
Dark Horse
$8.99
Order Now!

There are some things we get a chance to test out that don’t really need a lot said about them. This is a gift wrap covered in awesome Hellboy art from Dark Horse. Each package includes three sheets (each with a different design) of wrapping paper, each measuring 24-inches x 36-inches and four labels. Is it for everyone? No. But, if you are giving a gift to someone who loves Hellboy or the art of Mike Mignola and you don’t think about wrapping it in this… you are missing out on a big chance to watch your friend’s eyes light up when they ask you where the HELL you found such cool wrapping paper. 


Umbrella Academy Gift Wrap
Dark Horse
$7.99
Order Now!

The Umbrella Academy is riding high right now, not just as a comic, but also as a critically acclaimed Netflix series. If you have anyone in your life who loves the show or the graphic novels, what better way to wrap their gifts this holiday season than a special gift wrap from Dark Horse that is covered with designs based on the title’s art. Each package includes three sheets (each with a different design) of wrapping paper, each measuring 24 inches x 36 inches, and four labels.

Exit: The Game – Advent Calendar: The Hunt For The Golden Book
Thames & Kosmos
$49.95
Order Now!

Advent Calendars are fun enough on their own, but now imagine one that is a game spanning the 24 days leading up until Christmas! That’s what you get with Exit: The Game’s Advent Calendar. There are actually two versions of the Advent Calendar, but we only had the chance to check out The Hunt For The Golden Book and it did not disappoint. The goal of the game is that Santa’s golden book has disappeared and it is your job to help find it before Christmas. Each day you will get a clue or riddle that must be solved correctly if you want to figure out which door to open next. We loved that this game used cards, decoders and riddles, but not a single thing that required a computer or batteries. It’s 24 puzzles and a ton of fun to help you make it through the long wait until Christmas Day. This is a great gift for anyone who loves puzzles and the holidays.


Die Hard Christmas Ornament: Lights Up!
RP Minis
$11.66
Order Now!

Is Die Hard the best Christmas movie? It’s a debate that will probably be going on long after anyone even remembers what Christmas is, but even if you don’t think it’s a Christmas movie, you can’t deny that it’s a great flick! Now, if you have anyone on your list who can tell you why it’s a Christmas movie, you should reward them with this ornament of John McClane climbing through an air vent in the Nakatomi Tower. The animated likeness is just friendly enough to fit perfectly on any Christmas tree and the lighter in his hands has a flickering light on it that brings a little added warmth and holiday cheer!


Mini Yule Log: With Crackling Sound!
RP Minis
$11.66
Order Now!

Believe it or not, it’s generally frowned upon to have an open fire on your desk, even if it’s something as festive as a Yule log. If you’ve got someone on your gift list who can’t stop thinking about roasting his chestnuts on an open fire, this could be the perfect stocking stuff or white elephant gift for them this year. Just flip the switch on this little fireplace and bask in the orange, flickering glow of the LED flame. We’ll admit, the sound isn’t exactly what you’d think of when you imagine crackling wood, but it looks so great that we don’t even care. Aside from people who might want to put a little fireplace on their desk at work, this is also an amazing gift for anyone you know that collects action figures. It’s the perfect scale for toy photography and dioramas.


Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Elf
RP Minis
$13.46
Order Now!

If you don’t know someone who would want a Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Man in their life, it’s probably because they already have one. And, with it being the holiday season, why not get festive and switch over from the tube man to the tube elf?!? With just a 9-volt battery, you can take your desk or shelf from plain to party as the 18” Tube Elf unfurls and starts doing his wacky wobbling!  It’s exactly what everyone needs for the holidays.

Bioworld

You’re a clean one, Mr. Grinch! There’s not too much to say about a dish towel, but we think this Grinch towel is the perfect kind of gift to roll up and put in someone’s stocking this holiday season. It’s also a great addition to any holiday gift basket for your Dr. Suess-loving friends and family members.
