More than once in my life I’ve been called a Disney adult, and well, if the boot fits.
As the Certified Disney Adult in every circle of my life, it is my duty to direct people to the best Disney gifts that they can buy this holiday season. Of course, you cannot go wrong when shopping on the Disney Store’s website. Amazon also has a surprising number of Disney gifts, but if you’re looking for more unique gifts, Etsy is definitely a good place to shop.
The key to finding the right Disney gift is knowing what the person you’re shopping for likes. If they are more of a Disney Parks fan, then they will love a gift like this Main Street Bakery candle that will transport them right onto Main Street U.S.A.
If you’re shopping for a Disney fan who loves to have the best accessories, you’ll want to get them either a Loungefly backpack or a Loungefly wallet.
For Disney adults heading to the parks in 2025, you can opt for travel necessities they might need on their Disney trip, like this Mickey handheld fan, a Minnie Mouse water bottle, or a quilted Mickey Mouse belt bag (lululemon, who!).

The best Disney gifts to buy for the holiday season
The options are endless when shopping for a Disney adult. Given we’re in the holiday shopping season, a ton of products on this list are even on sale. Here are 25 gifts to buy for the Disney fan in your life, and yes, that person can be you!
Minnie Mouse Gold Sequin Loungefly Mini Backpack
For $74, instead of $99 with code DISNEYPAL
To be officially crowned a Disney adult, a Loungefly bag is a requirement. This sequin style is one of the more common Loungefly styles, but there are many bags tailored to different Disney interests, including Winnie the Pooh & Pals and Star Wars.
Disney Small Backpack
For $67, instead of $95
Now, if Loungefly is just not something you think they’d be into (or you don’t like the look), you can opt for a more neutral bag, like this quilted Vera Bradley backpack. Upon first glance, it doesn’t even look like a Disney bag, the Mickeys hide well in the quilted design. Vera Bradley also has this pattern in a tote bag, sling backpack, and a mini belt bag.
Disney Springbrook Sling Crossbody
For $100
Speaking of sling bags, this Vera Bradley bag is another hidden Mickey design that is perfect for the subtle Disney adult. It also comes in a festive Christmas pattern!

EPCOT The Land Pavilion Inspired Planter
For $29, instead of $48
For the Disney Parks fan who is truly living with the land, this planter is exactly what they’ll want for the holidays. Just keep in mind this is the planter only, so you’ll want to provide your own succulent to round out the gift. Or, you can also get a Space Mountain planter, if that is their preferred ride.
The Haunted Mansion Wallpaper Dooney & Bourke Ear Headband
For $198
For the diehard Haunted Mansion fan, these ears feature the famous rides’s withering wallpaper pattern, a genuine leather bow, and a Dooney & Bourke 1975 embossed metal label.
Mickey Handheld Fan
