Best Star Wars gifts under $20/£20

Want to keep costs down, or looking for the ideal stocking filler? These are all great starting points.

Paladone Star Wars Lightsaber Heat-Change Mug in 'on' and 'off' modes, against a plain background

Lightsaber Heat-Change Mug View at TargetCheck Amazon

One of the easiest but most effective Star Wars gifts around is this neat heat-changing mug. It displays a collection of lightsaber hilts along the bottom that 'ignite' when you fill it with hot water. It's a fun novelty that I can personally recommend, because I was given it as a present a few years back.See all Star Wars mugs at Amazon

Squishmallows Grogu plush on a plain background

Grogu Squishmallow View at AmazonView at AmazonView at WalmartView at Amazon

It's an understatement to say that Squishmallows are popular, and the Star Wars versions are absolutely delightful - I've seen a few of them in person and have always been taken aback by how soft and cuddly they are. The Grogu version is particularly sweet, and is a great gift for fans of any age.See all Star Wars Squishmallows at Amazon

Star Wars From a Certain Point of View cover on a plain background

From a Certain Point of View View at AmazonView at AmazonView at Audiobooks.com

Although it came out a few years ago, this collection of 40 short stories set during the original Star Wars (A New Hope) is still my go-to suggestion in terms of books. It's niche enough not to be on everyone's shelf but is still a standalone experience, so fans won't be lost. It also involves a who's who of official Star Wars authors. See all Star Wars books at Amazon

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Han Solo shrugging with a blaster in hand on a plain background

Vintage Collection Han Solo View at GameStopView at AmazonView at GameStopView at Target

You can never go wrong with a good Star Wars action figure, and the Vintage Collection figures are far more detailed than you'd expect for the price. This new Han Solo model is particularly accurate and comes in retro packaging, making it an instant hit of nostalgia for older fans or the perfect toybox addition for young padawans. See all Star Wars Vintage Collection at Amazon

Star Wars Unlimited: Intro Battle Hoth box on a plain background

Unlimited: Intro Battle Hoth View at AmazonView at GameStop

This new 2025 box set is the easiest way to learn the Star Wars Unlimited card game, providing everything you need for two-player games. The boards and cards can then be used in later games, or to create all-new decks. See all Star Wars Unlimited at Amazon

Darth Vader Funko Pop on a stand against a plain background

Darth Vader Funko Pop View at AmazonView at AmazonView at Best BuyView at Amazon

They can be a little Marmite in that some people love them while others hate the things, but in general, Funko Pop figures are enormously popular for a reason. This Darth Vader model is a particularly iconic one that is often on offer. See all Star Wars Funko toys at Amazon

Best Star Wars gifts under $50/£50

If your budget can stretch a little further, you'll find a host of impressive Star Wars gifts that strike a great balance of cost and quality.

Star Wars Villainous: Cold Tactics box on a plain background

Villainous: Cold Tactics View at AmazonView at Target

The latest version of the Star Wars Villainous board game pits nefarious Grand Admiral Thrawn against Count Dooku, so it's a suitably tactical matchup. If your loved one adores a bit of armchair strategy, they should get on well with this standalone set. See all Star Wars board games at Amazon

Galaxy's Edge cookbook cover on a plain background

Galaxy's Edge Cookbook View at AmazonView at AmazonView at AbeBooks Affiliate ProgramView at Disney

Despite having a price tag of around $35/£25, this glorious cookbook is usually discounted to well under $20/£20. It's written as an in-universe text so has loads of fun references, and it's based on recipes from the Galaxy's Edge theme park area in Disneyland and Disney World.See all Star Wars cookbooks at Amazon

Star Wars The Black Series Stormtrooper (Holiday Edition) carrying Christmas-themed porgs against a plain background

Black Series Stormtrooper (Holiday) View at AmazonView at GameStopView at AmazonView at Best Buy

In my opinion, Black Series action figures are some of - if not the - best toys from a galaxy far, far away. Boasting a ridiculous level of detail and weathering on top of enviable articulation for posing, they're impressive. Most impressive. This 2025 Christmas model is a tongue-in-cheek version that's ideal as a Holiday season gift.See all Black Series figures at Amazon

Star Wars AT-AT Ugly Christmas Sweater on a plain background

Star Wars Xmas sweater View at TargetView at TargetView at TargetView at Amazon

It's now tradition to break out your 'ugliest' knitwear in time for Christmas, and that means a sweater like the amusing number above will do the trick as one of the best Star Wars gifts over the Holidays. This version features the giant walking tanks as reindeer, which is downright adorable.See all Star Wars Christmas sweaters at Amazon

Where's Grogu book cover on a plain background

Where's Grogu? View at Amazon

Buying for kids, or someone who loves Baby Yoda? This book is inspired by Where's Waldo, only it substitutes the bespeckled master of hiding for the cutest alien frog child this side of Tatooine. It's a fun yet affordable gift, making for a great stocking filler or Secret Santa present. See all Star Wars Search and Finds at Amazon

Grogu on a Disney Store Gift Card, shown against a plain background

Star Wars Gift card View at DisneyCheck Amazon

If you're completely stuck for ideas, an official Disney Store gift card is better than nothing. Disney is the home of Star Wars, so all the best goodies from a galaxy far, far away can be found there - ranging from toys to replica lightsabers. You can top up the card with a variety of amounts too. (Note: Not available in the UK.)

How to choose Star Wars gifts

There's a universe of Star Wars gifts out there, so how do you find the best ones? Considering the thousands of toys, collectibles, and curiosities that exist, where do you even start? If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't worry - here's what I always ask when tracking down Star Wars-related presents.

🎥 Work out their favorite Star Wars filmsIt's easy to say "all of them" and wring your hands in despair, but I'd bet you that your loved one likes a specific set of movies or characters better than the others. If they're all about the original trilogy, you know to focus on products featuring Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, Han, and the rest. If they prefer the sequel or prequel trilogy, that's another helpful starting point.

🏆 Do they like collectibles and display pieces?It's worth considering this question, because you don't want to get someone who prefers a minimalist setup lots of bulky 'stuff' to clutter their space, cool though it may be - that present may end up stuffed in a cupboard and never seen again. If they don't tend to show off display pieces like Funkos, replicas, or action figures, I'd look at clothing or books (including the High Republic novels, the 'From a Certain Point of View' short stories, and coffee table art books) instead. These tidy away neatly so won't be on show all the time, but are still thoughtful presents.

🧑 Are you shopping for adults?It sounds like an obvious question, but the best Star Wars gifts for a 30-something grown-up aren't necessarily going to be the same as those for a kid. If they're an older fan, I'd take a look at books (coffee table art books for the films are always a solid bet), collectibles like helmet or lightsaber replicas, and apparel such as hats, hoodies, or tees. Those are all fairly safe bets.

👪 Are you shopping for kids?If you're shopping for young padawans, my gut reaction is to go straight for the plushies, action figures like Black Series/Vintage Collection, or toy lightsabers such as Lightsaber Forge. There's a broad enough variety of each that you're unlikely to double up on anything the recipient already has, and they're all plain awesome.
