15 Stranger Things Gifts 

15 STRANGER THINGS gifts only true fans will understand #StrangerThings
1. Where's Barb book

The 1980s hold a lot of great childhood memories for us. It was a time when phones were still tethered to our wood-paneled walls. A time of Choose Your Own Adventure books. Of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Of Cabbage Patch Kids and Trivial Pursuit. And in the late 80s, we were introduced to a phenomenon known as “Where's Waldo?”

It seems only right that a series which so effectively evoked the atmosphere of the 80s, Netflix's Stranger Things, would team up with the creators of Where's Waldo to produce this crossover, Where's Barb? Search the little town of Hawkins for Barbara Holland. Maybe she's studying with Nancy. Wait. Why's her car a couple of blocks from Steve's house? The police are pretty sure she just ran away. But is that her Trapper Keeper peeking out from under that bush? We promise searching for Barb will be hours of fun for the whole family!

6. Stranger Things Funko Pops

Some of us here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ grew up in the 80s, and Stranger Things hit all the right warm fuzzy spots for us. From the set dressing to the intro credits, everything just feels right – like it's transported us back in time to when bikes were how we got around and our biggest responsibilities were homework and chores. It probably doesn't hurt that this particular monkey's first Dungeons & Dragons group convened in 1985, and this monkey is in good company in these halls.

The characters from Stranger Things have been added to Funko's already-extensive POP! vinyl line. Funko explicitly asked the fans who they wanted to see in the figure line, so if you didn't vote, we don't want to hear complaints. But we're okay with suggestions. Just play nice, please.

10. Stranger Things Pocket POP! Keychains

Ah yes, the good old days. Back when we didn't so much “need” keychains for our car keys or whatever, just for our latchkey-kid house keys and maybe the key to our secret safe. But even if we had no keys at all to keep on a keychain, we'd have wanted one of these. You know, for good luck while zooming around town on our bikes. Or in case we find the key to a Curiosity Door, maybe?

Never wonder again where you left your keys with one of these Stranger Things Funko Pocket POP! Keychains. At just 1 1/2″ tall, they look like your favorite Funko POP! figure, only tinier, which means you can carry one around instead of leaving them out for display. Choose from Barb, Demogorgon, Dustin, or Eleven, and always have a tiny friend (or Demogorgon, which we assume is not your friend) with you.

14. Stranger Things Action Figure 3pk

Just ask Will, Lucas, Dustin, and Mike –  it's best to travel with your adventuring party, particularly in unfamiliar territory. Granted, one doesn't always get to choose all of one's traveling companions; sometimes, fate steps in and selects them. Snoring seatmate on a long bus ride? Inconsiderate airline passengers? Ravenous Demogorgon? Maybe a couple of those could advantageously paired…?

Choose a 3-pack of Funko Stranger Things action figures – Eleven, Lucas, and Mike, or Will, Dustin, and Demogorgon. Each action figure measures 3 3/4″ tall and has over twenty points of articulation. Character-specific accessories, such as Lucas's “wrist rocket”, are included.

15. The Book of Barb

One of the many reasons we so love Stranger Things is that it celebrates the 80s in all their innocent, nerdy glory. Despite being one of the show's minor characters, Barbara Holland is a perfect tragic hero of the series. Barb is relatable, responsible, and the bestie who always tries to be there for you, trying to help you make the right choices, at least until things go all upside down.

The Book of Barb is a 96-page hardcover by Nadia Bailey featuring full-color illustrations by artist Phil Constantinesco. Celebrating Stranger Things‘s trendsetting style icon and ultimate wing woman, Barb, the book features guidance, quizzes, mix-tape recommendations, and more.
