The 2022 /Film Holiday Gift Guide (Part 5): Movie & TV Clothing, Geeky Housewares, Holiday Decorations & More

The holidays are in full swing, and it's time to get your shopping list together for the pop culture fanatic in your life. When it comes to showing your love for film and television, there are a variety of ways to show everyone where your loyalties lie. Maybe you'd like a t-shirt with a subtle reference to one of your favorite comic book movies. Perhaps you'd like to add a little touch of Marvel or Disney to your kitchen. There's even a special candle inspired by a questionable trophy from "Everything Everywhere All At Once." And since it's the holidays, there are plenty of decorating options inspired by your favorite movies and TV shows. 

Following our tours of the best movies, TV shows, books, soundtracks, and artwork available now, Part 5 of the 2022 /Film Holiday Gift Guide highlights an assembly of clothing, accessories, housewares, holiday decorations, and other random items that reference the movies and TV shows that you can't get enough of every single day. 

Cover yourself in the clothing of movies and television

We all know the best way to show off your nerdy passions is to plaster them on your front-side for the whole world to see. There are so many options to let your geek flag fly out there right now, which means whatever your particular flavor of fan passion you indulge in, there's gonna be something for you. Want to rock Eddie Munson's Hellfire Club Shirt? We got you covered. How about an arty Deathly Hallows long sleeve shirt for those chilly winter days? Yep. You're a "Spider-Man" fan, but don't want to pick a particular spidey logo? Well, there's the Marvel Triple Emblem shirt to let everyone know you don't pick sides in the multiverse. We're particular fans of the subtle "Yellowjackets" 'Vote for Taissa Turner' tees around here. Perfect shirt to wear out while grabbing some BBQ. "Harry Potter," Marvel, Pixar, "Parks and Rec," "Stranger Things," and so much more can be found in the links below. (Eric Vespe)

A Big Ol' Pile of Shirts!

Keep Your Head on Straight!

Whether you want to cover up your bedhead, a bald spot, or you just have the perfectly-shaped head to rock a hat, there's a plethora of pop culture caps for you to pick as a gift for yourself — or, if you're feeling generous, your loved ones. Dustin Henderson's "Thinking Cap" from "Stranger Things" is a particularly popular option, and then there's Dipper's Trucker Hat from "Gravity Falls." There's the Wilderness Explorers badge cap for all you "Up" fans, a Thor cap that proudly declares the god of thunder as the Strongest Avenger, and then a personal favorite: a Hollywood Tower Bellboy cap. I can't see many people rocking this out on a day to day basis, but any excuse one can have to show their love for the "Tower of Terror" is a valid excuse. (Eric Vespe)

Jackets, Hooodies, Pajamas, and More!

We love a good variety, don't we folks? Here's a ton of varied nerdy apparel for your shopping pleasure. Dig Wednesday Addams' look? Well then, Her Universe has you covered with their own Wednesday dress, complete with that big, white collar. If hoodies are more your speed, there's a fun one from Patti Lapel that celebrates the work of Albert Brooks, and a Hawkeye hoodie for you MCU fans. How about a "Yellowjackets" track suit? Showtime has a set of pants and sweatshirt. There's a "Mighty Ducks" Spirit Jersey you can grab as that film celebrates its 30th anniversary and a Hawkins High Varsity Jacket if you want a low-key way to show off your "Stranger Things" addiction. Heck, there's even a "Santa Clause" themed pajama set! (Eric Vespe)

The smell of a hero

"The Batman" – Vengeance Cologne from House of Sillage

If you want to fee like Bruce Wayne but without the untimely death of your parents and all the dark brooding and dangerous crime-fighting, then the fragrance creators at House of Sillage can help. As the "epitome of haute parfumerie," House of Sillage is known for creating hypnotizing fragrances in colognes, perfumes, and even candles. This year, they've created a collection of scents inspired by "The Batman," including the above fragrance that has appropriately been named "Vengeance." That's right, you can now smell like vengeance. After all, if you spend your nights taking down criminals and pouring sweat into a tactical suit inspired by a flying rodents, you'll need a powerful fragrance to throw on when it's time to head to an upscale event.

House of Sillage sent over a bottle of this fragrance to try, and I can confirm that this is a musky scent worthy of both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Not only does it smell good, but the bottle features a cap that feels like it could easily be on Batman's utility belt. A button on the top of the bottle releases the cap, which quickly shifts to the side to reveal the spray nozzle. It's a pricier fragrance, but for the classy Batman fan in your life, it will make a fine gift under the tree. There's also another "Hero" fragrance with a bottle that comes adorned in Swarovski Crystals, as well as a limited edition candle that is said to "capture the olfactory sensorial experience of Gotham City into your surroundings." So does it smell like criminals? There's only one way to find out. (Ethan Anderton)

Accessorize yourself!

Geeky Jewelry

From Hayao Miyazaki to David Lynch, there are some really fun jewelry options out there this holiday season. The "Twin Peaks" ring in particular is a beauty. That one might be out of a lot of people's price range, but it's 14k gold with a custom cut green stone. High end-Lynchians will love that one! Studio Ghibli is represented with two necklace replicas, one from "Castle in the Sky" and one from "Princess Mononoke," the latter of which also comes with a matching earring set. Have a Scarlet Witch in your life who's just missing the right headband? Well, look no further than the officially licensed "WandaVision" version here. The "Shang-Chi" replica pendant and bracelet combo is also a valid option for your favorite MCU fan. (Eric Vespe)

Pop Culture Pin Extravaganza!

There are so many cool pins out there, y'all. The Nicole Kidman/AMC pin in particular is choice. The great thing about pins is that they're inexpensive and can go with anything. Adding a pin to a shirt, jacket, backpack, bookbag, cap or lanyard is an automatic conversation-starter. These stocking-stuffer sized gifts are perfect for fans of all types. There's Hellfire Club from "Stranger Things," Jon Lovitz's character from "The Wedding Singer," the dang skyscraper robot "Transformers" style toy that Tom Hanks hates in "Big," Buzz's girlfriend from "Home Alone," the "We ain't found s***!" guys from "Spaceballs," and even "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On." Want a "Coffin Flop" pin? I don't know what to tell you bud, but Tim Robinson is represented as well. Peruse the list of cool pins and there'll be something that'll float your boat. (Eric Vespe)

Don't Forget Your Keys!

It wouldn't be a Holiday Gift Guide without some keychains, am I right? Well, the offerings dug up by the crack team of researchers here at /Film include a couple of deeper cut "Harry Potter" keychains and a really fun Loungefly keychain celebrating the famed Disney take on "Robin Hood." The Potter keychains are a winged key from "Sorcerer's Stone" (or "Philosopher's Stone" if you're a redcoat) that sliced the hell out of Harry and his friends in his first year at Hogwarts and a vial of the Felix Felicis potion (aka Liquid Luck). The "Robin Hood" keychain is particularly romantic as it captures Robin and Maid Marian's love, so if you have a significant other, this is a good one. (Eric Vespe)

Santa's Got a Brand New Bag... For You!

We all need to carry stuff around. All your favorite corporations know this and are taking full advantage of this fact because of capitalism. So that means you got plenty of carrying-things-around options to choose from, including Loungefly's fancy offerings like a Falcon/Captain America bag, a "Ghostbusters" Stay Puft Marshmallow Man bag, and a "Corpse Bride" bag (complete with a bouquet of flowers). One of the most clever options this season, though, is the New Asgard Tours faux merch tote bag from "Thor: Love and Thunder." For the record, I'd totally take that tour if the MCU was real. Of course, if the MCU was real I'd probably have been buried under a skyscraper after one of the random alien attacks, but it's best not to think about such things and instead focus on the sweet merch. (Eric Vespe)

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" Hot Dog Finger Gloves

In a reality of infinite universes and endless possibilities, you just never know what might resonate with audiences on any given movie. "Everything Everywhere All At Once" didn't leave anything to chance, as the Daniels packed their multiverse-spanning story with nonstop gags. That's where those hot dog-handed versions of our characters in that one bizarre universe comes in, leading to one of the most unexpectedly heartfelt moments in the entire film. Now, you can get your hands on hot dog finger gloves of your very own, courtesy of A24. (Jeremy Mathai)

Housewares fit for a pop culture nerd

We're not supposed to pick favorites amongst our Gift Guide categories, but between you and me this is the best category. Where else can you find, for purchase, an "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" trophy of the month/butt plug candle? Certainly not in the Blu-Ray section, I'll tell you that much. There are so many fun things that aren't butt plug-related, if that offends your delicate sensibilities. There's a Darth Vader lightsaber metal water bottle, a fancy "Harry Potter" time-turner lamp, a super cool Madam Leota head-in-a-crystal-ball lamp, "Nightmare Before Christmas" storage jars, a "Lord of the Rings" Prancing Pony lunch bag, "Jaws" and "Back to the Future" themed bottle openers, and a "Ghostbusters" trap incense burner. Told you this was the best category! (Eric Vespe)

Drink like a Targaryen!

Tyrion Lannister won't be the only one who drinks and knows things after you get your hands on this "House of the Dragon" decanter set available exclusively at the Warner Bros. Shop. Housed in a genuine wooden box made out of oak and fastened with pounded nails, this set comes with a glass decanter and two rocks glasses, all featuring the house sigil. There are also six soapstone drink stones that you can freeze for pouring whiskey over, and you can rest each of your glasses on two stone coasters. 

Having received this straight from Warner Bros., I can tell you that this is quite a regal set of drinkware, and once I start using, it's probably for everyone's safety that I don't have access to dragons. Because, honestly, I would be using them to just cook a truckload of s'mores and cheeseburgers. And maybe send them after my worst enemies. (Ethan Anderton)

Drink Like It's the Zombie Apocalypse

If you need some whiskey to put in that "House of the Dragon" decanter set, why not keep the fandom rolling with the official whiskey of "The Walking Dead." That's right, there's an official whiskey for the long-running AMC series. The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey has a limited edition "The Walking Dead" bottle that has a bunch of Easter eggs situated around the label. Of course, the good stuff is inside, with an Irish single malt whiskey that's made from 100% Irish malted barley, triple-distilled for smoothness in copper pot stills, and has been aged four years in oloroso sherry casks. Sound good? Get your bottle right here.

Get in the cinematic holiday spirit!

"The Santa Clause" – Business Card Replica Holder

Inspired by "The Santa Clause," this holiday decoration features the business card with the titular contract that turns Tim Allen into Santa Claus after the jolly guy falls off his roof on Christmas Eve. The card comes with a collectible display holder that references the Rose Suchak Ladder Company, a play on the phrase "arose such a clatter" from the classic story "The Night Before Christmas." Just pray that Santa Claus doesn't fall off your roof, or else that card is going to send you to the North Pole. (Ethan Anderton)

"Lilo and Stitch" Tree Topper

Give your Christmas tree a little extra Disney flair by tossing on this tree topper featuring the mischievous alien known as Stitch. Since he doesn't really understand our holiday customs, he's chomping at the Christmas star like a rascal. It'll make for an adorable addition to your holiday decorations. (Ethan Anderton)

Ornaments for the tree!

If you're anything like me, you're an obsessive ornament hoarder who spends way too much time trying to decide on the perfect addition to your yearly Christmas tree. Now that I'm an adult and can decorate my apartment however I choose, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some of my pop culture ornaments on a display shelf year-round. Every year, countless stores and corporate brands release a new collection of tree decor, sometimes honoring classics who are well overdue on the ornamental treatment and often highlighting some of the year's biggest moments in entertainment. (BJ Colangelo)

Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

Forget adding more glass balls or nutcrackers — what better way to spruce up your home this winter holiday season than with ornaments of the biggest superheroes around? There's a Doctor Strange figure for those look to add some multiversal flavor to their Christmas tree, along with one of T'Challa and another featuring Bats and the Batmobile from "The Batman." ("Batman Returns" is a Christmas movie so, you know, close enough.) Or, if you need a break from costumed crime fighters, you could pick up an ornament inspired by a bona fide winter holiday classic with the Caroling Gremlin. There's also one of the Hitchhiking Ghosts from "The Haunted Mansion" to pair with the "Nightmare Before Christmas" ornaments that you almost definitely already have. And why not add some sci-fi to the mix with decorations from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "The Matrix," and much more? (Sandy Schaefer)

Disney Sketchbook Ornaments


Not to be outdone, the annual Disney Sketchbook ornament collection is absolutely to die for. In honor of the 30th anniversary of "Aladdin," they've released a striking piece featuring Aladdin and Abu standing in front of The Cave of Wonders, an elegant glass dome featuring Bambi and Faline after the forest fire for the 80th anniversary of "Bambi," and the world's only redeeming billionaire, Scrooge McDuck admiring his riches for the "DuckTales" 35th anniversary. Of course, that's only the tip of the iceberg, as Disney also has ornaments in honor of "Lilo & Stitch," "Ratatouille," "Finding Nemo," the criminally underrated "Treasure Planet," and a Hat Box Ghost from "The Haunted Mansion" that lights up!

A Few Other Ornaments? Sure!

Hot Topic has killer slasher offerings featuring Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, and Box Lunch is doubling down on their "The Nightmare Before Christmas" collection with Sandy Claws, The Mayor, and Zero ornaments, Cracker Barrel has an ornament of the newspaper announcement of The Wet Bandits' escape from "Home Alone," but my eyes are on the "Stranger Things" inspired Surfer Boy Pizza Van ornament, also available at Hot Topic. It certainly will look perfect hanging next to my Eggo waffle. (BJ Colangelo)

The Harry Potter Pottery Barn Decoration Collection

Pottery Barn has a classy collection of decorations inspired by the "Harry Potter" franchise. From the classic antique style gold ornaments above to a string of lights that look like the flying keys from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," there's a great assembly of items for the witch or wizard in your life. In fact, you'd do well to check out Pottery Barn's massive collection of "Harry Potter" paraphernalia. It's quite pricey, but they have some of the coolest housewares, decorations, clothing, and more from the Wizarding World. (Ethan Anderton)

A bunch of other stuff!

It's one thing to love a movie or a TV show, it's another thing to wear that love on your sleeve, or, in many cases, your vehicle. Sure, we all love a black t-shirt with a movie poster slapped across the front, but it's a hell of a lot more fun to express your obsessions in more creative ways. For example, if you're someone who finds it criminal that Mace Windu doesn't get the credit he deserves, you can transform your windshield wiper into his trademark purple lightsaber. Or, if you're more of a Yoda person, green is also an option. For those who live in warmer climates, snag yourself a decorative sunshade featuring the Simpsons family, the iconic group inside the Millennium Falcon, or even the meddling kids of Mystery Incorporated from "Scooby Doo." Non-drivers, never fear, because you can always decorate your front yard with an inflatable sprinkler that looks like the couch from "Friends" or stick "Everything Everywhere All At Once" googly eyes, well, everywhere ... all at once.
