    Do you have a Disney-obsessed friend or family member in your life? Maybe it’s you! If so then we think that you will love our round-up of more than 25 unique gift ideas for Disney lovers. Our list includes both gifts you can buy AND gifts you can make.

    Every Holiday season I look forward to planning gifts for my friends and family. Over the years I’ve shared many of my gift ideas with you.

    • Where can you buy a Disney gift card?
    • Can you use a Disney gift card at Disney World?
    • More than 25 Disney Gift Ideas
    • DIY Disney Gifts that you Can Make
    • Cute Gift Ideas for Disney Fans; things to Buy

    Our handmade gift guides have become some of our most popular posts each year and I’m excited to be sharing more gift guides with you this year! (I also go through every year and update the old gift guides so that they have the most up-to-date information for you.) If you can’t gift someone a Disney vacation then these gift ideas are the next best thing!

    What to Get Someone who is Obsessed with Disney?

    Here are our top suggestions:

    • Simple handmade gift like the ones below (our Luggage tags are a very economical and EASY handmade gift).
    • Small photo album with photos of a recent trip to a Disney Park.
    • If you’re a quilter, a simple patchwork quilt or zippered pouch made using Disney Fabric.
    • Disney Gift Card

    Where can you buy a Disney gift card?

    If you’re just not quite sure what to get someone, a gift card is always nice. To make it a bit more special, package it with one of our fun DIY gifts like our Disney Luggage Tags or Mickey Coin Purse.

    You can buy Disney Gift cards online at ShopDisney.

    Can you use a Disney gift card at Disney World?

    Yes! We have done this many times in the past, in fact, is one of my favorite tips for visiting Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks. When our kids were smaller we used to buy Disney gift cards before we left and give them to our kids.

    They used them to buy souvenirs, and when the money was gone, the gift card stopped working. It was a great way to budget souvenir money and was easy for our kids to understand.

    More than 25 Disney Gift Ideas

    Given our family’s love of Disney, I thought that it would be fun to do a gift guide full of gift ideas for the Disney fan in your life!

    Like all of our gift guides, I’ve broken it down into two sections. Gifts to make for Disney Fans and gifts that you can buy.

    Enjoy! If you have other gift suggestions just leave them in the comments section.

    DIY Disney Gifts that you Can Make

    DIY Disney Gift Ideas; Gifts to Make

    DIY a fun and unique gift for the Disney fan in our life using one of these simple tutorials.

    1

    Disney Monogrammed Yeti Tumbler

    A few years ago we went on a Disney cruise and in preparation, I decided to add a Minnie Mouse monogram to a set of Yeti Mugs to take with us. They came in handy on the cruise and I have fond memories even today of that trip each time I use my mug.

    2

    Mickey Floral Tote or T-Shirt

    Use our free Mickey Floral SVG file to create a cute tote bag or t-shirt for your favorite Disney fan! If your friend is headed to the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival this t-shirt is perfect for them.

    3

    How to Make Disney Purses

    Inspired by all of the fun and creative Disney purses that I spotted on our last trip to Disney World, I decided to try to create a set for myself. This tutorial includes instructions to make a Grape Soda and Disney Villan Poison Apple crossbody bag, along with a few others. You do need a Cricut machine to make this project.

    4

    Disney Tees

    This Disney tee project comes with free SVG files so that you can make the shirts yourself at home with an "e" cutting machine. The project includes 3-4 different styles. My favorite might be the "Nap Queen" tee which was inspired by one of my favorite Disney Princesses.

    5

    Free Printable Luggage Tags perfect for your Disney Vacation

    Know someone headed to Disney soon? Gift them a set of luggage tags! Just print them out and put them in pre-made plastic luggage tag sleeves.

    6

    Mickey Ears Purse Pattern

    This bag is one of my all-time favorites! It is my Alice Bag pattern with the addition of two circles for ears. This special supplement comes free with the purchase of my Alice Bag PDF pattern.

    7

    Mickey Earbud Pouch Sewing Pattern

    I stitched up this fun earbuds case for a friend a few years ago, and wish I had made one for myself as well. Tutorial includes downloadable pattern pieces.

    Countdown to Disney Calendar: FREE Printable

    I designed a special countdown calendar after a recent trip to Disney World. It's REALLY easy to make, just print out the character cards and the number cards and display them in your home. If you give this as a gift it would be cute wrapped in a cellophane bag and tied with a Minnie Mouse-inspired polka dot ribbon!

    9

    DIY Disney Pin Display

    We love to collect Disney pins. Several years ago I created some simple canvases to display our favorite pins.

    10

    Unique DIY Disney Parks Tees 

    My daughter designed a set of unique Disney Parks tees a few years ago. One design for each Disney park. The designs are each a subtle nod to the parks.

    11

    DIY Disney Movie Inspired Tees

    Do you know someone who LOVES Disney movies? Create one of a kind gift for them with one of our Disney movie SVG Files. I love this simple Willy Nilly Silly ol' Bear quote from the Winnie the Pooh movies.

    12

    Make a Run Disney Shirt

    I have a friend who looks forward to the runDisney races every year. So far she has not been able to convince me to run one with her. Maybe one day?

    13

    DIY Disney Parks Maps Coasters

    Thie project tutorial found on the Disney Parks blog is a great way to use up some of the park maps collected on trips.

    14

    This Disney Princess sign would be cute for a kid's room, or any other room in the house for that matter.

    15

    Disney Cruise DIY Tote bags and tees

    Use our Disney Cruise inspired SVG files to create tote bags, mugs or t-shirts for a friend (or yourself) that's headed out on a cruise soon. These also make great gifts if you're going on a cruise with a group.

    16

    Mermaid T-Shirts & Totes

    These mermaid cut files are great for a Disney trip or just for every day "mermaid life".

    Cute Gift Ideas for Disney Fans; things to Buy

    We know that your time is limited during the Holiday season. In addition to the Disney gift ideas that you can make, we’ve included a list of Disney gifts that you can buy! All are unique and we’ve been sure to choose gifts at a variety of price points.

    Most of these gift ideas are inspired by classic Disney characters. Don’t forget though that now Star Wars & Marvel are part of the Disney universe! If your recipient is a huge fan of one of those franchises, be sure to look for gifts with those themes as well.

    Gifts for Disney Fans; Things to Buy
