The cultural phenomenon Stranger Things hit our Netflix accounts last summer, and it was an instant hit. It was like the Duffer Brothers sat down one night while the IT mini-series was on TV and asked: “What would happen if we were to write a show that cashed in on the nostalgia of two different generations?” This is what happened and they did an AMAZING job.

With Stranger Things’ Season 2 peering at us from around the corner, we pulled together some gifts just for you. You’re welcome.

1. Stranger Things + Cats = this “Mangier Things” Metallic Print

Source: etsy.com
Never could I have imagined that anything could be cuter than the Demogorgon itself until I saw a cat cosplaying him. This print is adorable and funny, and Barb-cat remains the coolest of the litter.

2. Barb “Missing” Enamel Pin #JusticeForBarb

Source: etsy.com
It surprised some people that a character whose arc lasted two episodes, pre and post-mortem, became so popular, but not I. With her blouse and her oversized glasses, Barb was clearly just a time traveling hipster.

3. Gorillaz’ Demon Days Inspired Character Tee

Source: teepublic.com
Nostalgiaz may even be a catchier name than Gorillaz, but don’t tell Damon Albarn. He may get cross. This crossover t-shirt is such a good idea and perfect for music nerds everywhere.

4. Stranger Things Coloring Book

Source: etsy.com
Art therapy in a turquoise bound form? I’m sold. My favorite thing when it comes to coloring books is coloring them however I like. If I want Joyce Byers to have a rainbow complexion and neon orange parker, then by DemoGodgon, she’s gonna.

5. Stranger Things Text Logo Ringer Tee

Source: amazon.com
Not sure when it was exactly that ringers came back into fashion, but when they did, I instantly wanted all of them. They just so happen to fit the Stranger Things aesthetic perfectly, too.

6. “Leggo My Eggo” Earrings

Source: etsy.com
The boys didn’t do too bad of a job dressing El up in drag using Nancy’s clothes, but don’t you think Mike would’ve gotten kissed sooner if he’d have gifted her waffle earrings?

7. Be a Barb Tri-Blend T-Shirt #JusticeForBarb

Source: amazon.com
In a world full of Nancys, you must be a Barb or die trying. Why? Because while being unique is a surefire way to get you killed in an 80’s movie, at least you get to die fabulous.

8. Eleven’s Eggo Waffle Scented Candle

Source: amazon.com
I’m probably going to get one of these for the next time I summon Baphomet, but until then, I might just get one to make my room smell like breakfast. It’s soy, right?

9. LIMBO-Stranger Things Mash Up Tee

Source: teepublic.com
LIMBO is a fantastically different video game with a style that does well in rivaling Don’t Starve, with a story to back it up. It’s a mash-up appealing to multiple levels of geekery, what if Will is in LIMBO?

10. Stranger Things Vol. 2 OST Vinyl Record

Source: target.com
A lot of my music discoveries came from tv shows and movies. If there’s a kid who didn’t know Jefferson Airplane before Stranger Things and is now obsessed? There is a God and They have great taste.

11. Mornings are for Stranger Things Glass Coffee Mug

Source: amazon.com
Mornings are for coffee, contemplation, and a lot of other things all of which include coffee as an entity. Coffee is for coffee, coffee, and coffee, and with this quote mug, you get it all.

12. Replica 1983 Hawkins Middle School T-Shirt

Source: etsy.com
Is Dustin not your fave? HE’S MINE. I did actually almost cosplay him last Halloween but opted for Dale Cooper because I couldn’t find this shirt.

13. E.T. and Eleven Phone Home in this Scott Pilgrim-style Print

Source: etsy.com

It’s only natural the two get along. They’re similar: they get shoved into closets by boys, dress up in drag, reap the benefits of brand consumerism… They should be my friends.

14. Eleven’s Vortex of Eggos T-Shirt

Source: bustedtees.com
Honestly, everybody identified when Eleven bought up all those waffles. Waffles give us a one-track mind. Look into it, and you’ll find.

15. Stranger Things “Nancy Wheeler” Iron-On Patch

Source: etsy.com
Nancy was pretty bad ass when she picked up the baseball bat to avenge her bestie in the Upside Down. (#JusticeForBarb) Away with the prissiness, she became hardcore. Inspiring.

16. Dustin’s Tri-Color Mesh Trucker Hat

Source: amazon.com
Another thing I couldn’t find! This trucker hat is basically identical to Dustin’s in the show, and caps are cool again. All signs point to you getting it. We’ll form a cult.

Get Dustin’s Baseball Cap for $5.99 on amazon.com

17. Nightmare Before Christmas-Inspired Eleven T-Shirt

Source: teepublic.com
Wherein the moon is a waffle, Eleven is Jack, and we all love Tim Burton again. (Did we ever stop? Were we supposed to?)

18. Funko POP! Collectible Figure: Demogorgon

Source: amazon.com
[wipes away single tear] It’s so beautiful. Like a homicidal flower with teeth. I personally think this POP! would look killer (ha!) beside a Disney Princess one. But, as with many things, that’s just me.

Get the Demogorgan Funko POP for $9.25 on amazon.com

19. Expose Your Inner-Barb with these Earrings

Source: etsy.com
I would (and I will) wear these all day, every day. I want Barb dangling from my ears because I know that she. is. still. alive. (At least I think so…)
