2021 has been an incredible year for Marvel, as after sitting out most of 2020, Disney’s blockbuster franchise of world-saving superheroes returned to big and small screens across the world. Black Widow’s solo film finally arrived, Loki was up to new tricks in his mini-series, and WandaVision provided some cerebral entertainment this year. That’s just the tip of the Marvel iceberg though, as a ton of toys, merchandise, and games also arrived, making for plenty of options when it comes to finding a gift for the Marvel true believer in your household.
For more great gift ideas, make sure to browse our gift guide hub. In addition to Marvel, we also have gift guides for Star Wars and Funko Pops. If you’re shopping for a console gamer this holiday, we’ve got you covered with roundups for Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Marvel's Avengers
$60
Available for PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC
Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers released in September, bringing the superhero squad together for a grand adventure that can be enjoyed solo or with friends online. The story campaign centered around Kamala Khan is surprisingly thoughtful and engaging, while the combat with various heroes–Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Thor, and Black Widow–is fairly deep and differentiated between characters. Even though the live service multiplayer aspects and focus on loot isn’t quite as fine-tuned, Marvel’s Avengers will likely still entertain the Marvel fan in your life whether they game on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. It also comes with a free next-gen upgrade for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
$50-$70
Available for PS4 and PS5
Releasing November 12 alongside the PlayStation 5, Spider-Man: Miles Morales picks up one year after Marvel’s Spider-Man. The Tinkerer and a high-tech criminal enterprise have invaded Harlem, but Miles is ready to take them on in his first big mission since donning the Spidey suit. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is available to preorder for PS5 and PS4. Alternatively, you can preorder the PS5-exclusive Ultimate edition and get a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man bundled with Miles Morales.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition
$25.59
Available for PS4
For someone who isn’t planning on getting a PS5 yet, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Game of the Year edition for PS4 is a great gift idea if they haven’t already played it. The GOTY edition compiles the stellar base game and three expansions in one package. Marvel’s Spider-Man is arguably the best superhero game of this generation, so it really is a must-play for Marvel fans.
Lego Marvel Collection
$20
Available for PS4 and Xbox One
The Lego Marvel Collection compiles three family-friendly adventures: Lego Marvel Super Heroes 1 + 2 and Lego Marvel’s Avengers. Each game features a wide variety of playable heroes and familiar adventures for those who have followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Lego video games are great for couch co-op, so parents and kids can partake in the villain-thwarting fun together.
Disney+ Subscription
$70
Disney+ is home to many of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it’s one of the best gifts you can buy for the Marvel fan in your life–especially if you’re unsure what they want. With upcoming Marvel shows like WandaVision, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, and Loki coming exclusively to Disney+, this is a gift that will interest even those who have already watched each movie in the MCU dozens of times.
Marvel Studios Cinematic Collections
$46-$51
For the collectors in your life, the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe collections compile all of the movies released in the first three phases of the MCU. There are three matching box sets–one for each phase–to purchase. All told, you’ll save a significant amount of money buying the collections over purchasing each Blu-ray individually. They come with exclusive collector cards for each movie as well as small posters that pay homage to the original theater posters.

Marvel Gaming Chairs
$180-$200
If you have someone on your list who spends a lot of time gaming at their desk, a dedicated gaming chair is a fantastic gift idea that will get daily use. And if they happen to also love Marvel, you have some cool design options to choose from. These gaming chairs are ergonomically designed with neck and lumbar support in mind to promote comfort throughout long gaming sessions. There are seven different designs based on Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man.
Iron Man Wireless Gaming Mouse
$22
It turns out Iron Man’s helmet is also a great shape for a computer mouse. This wireless mouse comes in three color schemes: traditional gold, silver, and black. Iron Man’s eyes light up when the mouse is on to add a little extra flair. The wireless dongle even features a tiny matching Iron Man helmet.
Marvel Die-Cast 20-Pack
$20
Die-cast figurines always tend to have a stylish, classy look despite often being available for quite cheap. Take this 20-pack of Marvel characters, for instance. Each 1.65-inch figure costs roughly one buck, which gives this set incredible value. These collectible figures would look great displayed on a shelf, but they also could help kids expand their toy battles. Characters featured in the set include Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, and many more.
Marvel Titan Hero Series Action Figure Collection
$135
The Marvel Titan Hero Series Universe Collection comes with 11 articulated action figures:

This is a great set for the little Marvel fans in your life who are hoping to get started on a collection that will help them let their imagination run wild.
Marvel Villainous: Infinite Power
$35
A Marvel board game that’s ideal for youngsters and adults alike, Marvel Villainous puts you in the shoes of antagonists such as Thanos, Hela, and Ultron. It’s an asymmetric game, meaning each player moves around the board within their own area, picking up cards that affect the course of the game each turn. There are three different modes of play that alter the difficulty, so you can scale it to fit your needs. Marvel Villainous supports up to four players and rounds last roughly an hour.
Marvel Sinister Six Card Game
$18
This unique card game also puts you in the role of villains such as Green Goblin and Venom with the end goal of defeating Spider-Man in battle. Throughout the game, you complete heists and accumulate loot using a wide array of cards. If you situate yourself well throughout the game, you’ll have the opportunity to avoid Spider-Man’s grasp at the end. The player who racks up the most points and gets away from Spider-Man wins. Marvel Sinister Six supports up to six players. It’s recommended for ages 14 and up due to its emphasis on strategy and many variables. This would make for a nice gift for teenage Marvel fans and adults alike.
Legendary: A Marvel Deck-Building Game
$60
An engaging and highly replayable deck-building game, Legendary is particularly awesome for families because it’s designed as a cooperative game that replicates the action of MCU. But you don’t need a host of heroes to take down Magneto, Loki, and other supervillains. Legendary can also be played completely solo, and it remains a ton of fun as a single-player experience.
Tiger Electronics Marvel X-Men LCD Handheld
$15
This could appeal both to kids and those looking to revisit their childhood. In fact, it’s quite possible adults will appreciate this gift more. Inspired by the ubiquitous LCD handhelds that were released throughout the ’90s, this Tiger Electronics (re-released by Hasbro) handheld game includes the X-Men Project X game. You play as Cyclops across five stages in a battle to thwart Juggernaut and Apocalypse. While more of a novelty item than something to play all the time, there’s no doubt this handheld would be a unique and thoughtful Marvel gift for gaming fans.
Stan Lee Funko Pop
$14.92
The Pop version of the illustrious Marvel legend would be a unique stocking stuffer. Stylized with a striking Patina finish, this Stan Lee Funko Pop is one of our favorites in the massive Marvel lineup.
Groot With Wreath Funko Pop
$9

Lego Marvel Avengers Iron Man Helmet
$60
Aimed at older Marvel fans who view Lego sets more as display pieces than toys, this snazzy Iron Man build is a head bust–well, technically it’s a helmet bust. The kit isn’t super elaborate at just 480 pieces, but it does come together to form a striking model that sits atop a sleek black stand.
Iron Man Lego Art
$120
One of the cooler Lego lines in recent memory, Lego Art brings pop culture to life as stunning wall art. The Iron Man Lego Art kit is ridiculously detailed thanks to the 3,167 pieces it takes to bring it to life. The most intriguing aspect of Lego Art is the fact that you can use the same pieces to build different images. In Iron Man’s case, you can create three different Iron Man suits, including the fan-favorite Hulkbuster. Also, if you buy three sets, you can combine them to create one large Iron Man piece.
Lego Marvel Avengers Compound Battle
$80
A kit with a little bit of everything, the Marvel Avengers Compound Battle set is ideal for youngsters who love creating elaborate battles. The 699-piece set includes a two-story compound that’s protected by spring-loaded and stud shooters. There’s also a helicopter and off-road vehicle and an assortment of figures and accessories.

Even longtime fans will find something new in this wonderful tome that includes a lovely introduction by the incomparable Stan Lee.
The Infinity Gauntlet
$16.68
We could feature dozens of Marvel comics and graphic novels on this list–there are simply too many good ones. But for those who have watched the movies in the MCU thus far, a good place to start is with the Infinity Gauntlet. Penned by Jim Starlin, the Infinity Gauntlet tells the original story of the quest to stop Thanos. It’s neat to read the inspiration for the movies, especially since the Infinity Gauntlet also features other squads like the X-Men and New Warriors.
Avengers Makeup Brush Set
$13
This elegant but budget-friendly makeup brush set includes five different Avengers-themed brushes, including a powder brush, eyebrow brush, and eyeshadow brush. Designs range from the Avengers team logo to the Infinity Stones and Thanos’ gauntlet.
Marvel Avengers Throw Blanket
$17.95
This officially licensed throw blanket is 100% polyester and features four heroes: Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America. Their designs are based on comic book appearances rather than the movies. The best part about this throw blanket is its 45 x 60-inch size, which makes it large enough for practical use while watching Marvel movies on the couch over the holidays.
Spider-Man Waffle Maker
$40
It’s a universal truth that waffle makers create far superior waffles than the frozen selections in grocery store aisles. The great thing about these handy cooking tools is that they are quick and simple to use.

You can also use this waffle maker to make brownies, cakes, sandwiches, and more.
