After a very long year full of soul-crushing stress and delayed anime schedules, it’s finally time for the holiday season! Most of us won’t be seeing our friends and family in person this year, but that’s all the more reason to send thoughtful gifts through the mail full of Christmas spirit and anime charm. We’ve found five holiday-themed anime gifts that are sure to bring you and your loved ones joy, so let’s check them out!
If you love a certain anime, you can easily show that appreciation to the world with t-shirts, figures, keychains, or any of the other common styles of merchandise found at anime conventions and specialty stores. But what if you want to go the extra step and find something truly unique, something classy and expensive that you’ll treasure forever? Luckily for you, today we’re taking a look at five of the most luxurious pieces of anime merchandise. Surely, you’ll find a timeless treasure that will perfectly express your adoration for anime!
We anime fans love our merchandise—figures, plushies, t-shirts, key chains, and the like are all pretty par for the course at any convention booth or special interest store. But though this kind of swag is undoubtedly nerdy already, it’s nothing compared to the bizarre anime-branded products we’ve dug up for you today. Some of these are readily available on sites like Amazon or eBay, others are Japan-exclusive oddities that ran for a limited time, and a few may only exist in the ethereal realm of internet rumors. Let’s start this wild ride!
If you’ve ever been to the dealer’s room at an American anime convention, you’ve likely perused the pretty pastel products of Tasty Peach Studios. Their boutique-style booth sells unbearably cute plushies, wigs, enamel pins, and other merchandise based on designs by artist and company founder Ryan Zanfei. Her creations often take the form of adorable animals with food motifs, such as mochi kittens called Meowchi, narwhals topped with ice cream called Nomwhals, and a trio of cake-themed foxes. She’s also well-known for utilizing modern crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Patreon to fund some of her projects.
