1. Anime Subscription Boxes: The gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving.
Not sure which series is your anime fan’s favorite? Gift that special senpai in your life a mix of the best anime and manga items delivered to their door every month with LootAnime!
How it works: Every month the recipient gets a crate of 4-6 licensed anime and manga items. The crates tend to arrive between the 25th-30th of every month, and each month has a new anime theme.
2. Funko Pop! Fruits Basket Tohru Honda: Who doesn’t love a good Pop! Figure?
If your anime lover has seen either the OG or the new Fruits Basket (heck, maybe they’re obsessed with both), then these new Funko Fruits Basket Pop! Figures are a must. Don’t forget their favorite Zodiac members Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure as well!
Please note: these are only available for pre-order, so if you’re looking to have these before the holidays, they will not ship until mid-January. On the plus side, it extends the holiday cheer into 2021.
3. Naruto Mini Slowcooker: A full stomach makes for a happy anime fan.
Whether they consistently crave Naruto’s signature ramen or just enjoy spending time in the kitchen, this is the perfect gift to help them recreate some of the delicious looking anime foods they want to try.
