As I was shopping for my son’s Star Wars Birthday Party at my local craft store this summer, I found myself doing a double take at the line of Fall merchandise already in-stock. One of the associates was working on perfecting the new display, so I casually asked how far in advance they were going to plan for Christmas. I don’t know why, but it took me by surprise to learn that Holiday decor and gifts would be lining their shelves within a few short weeks.
The time between the start of the new school year and Christmas is actually shorter than it seems at just 4 months, so shopping early makes sense. Over the summer, Disney hosted a Holiday Showcase where we celebrated Christmas in July and got a sneak peek at all of the new toys and gifts topping wish lists this season. This list is so cool, you’ll want to shop now to ensure the items you really want don’t sell out. What I like most about the new product line-up is the expansive selection of gifts across categories including baby, kids, adults, home, technology, fashion and more.
After perusing the entire magical assortment of products, I narrowed it down to my top 12 with gifts for girls, boys, adults, and the home. Whether you’re feeling the force this season or you want to “Let It Go,” there is something for every Disney fan. Here are my Top 12 Disney Gifts for 2016.
