Finding a unique gift for the Disney person in your life can be challenging. They might already have quite the Loungefly collection or have so many Minnie ears that they have taken over wall space in their house. So, we’ve put together a list of small Disney-inspired shops that will hopefully help you find something special for the Disney fan who has everything. Or, if you are a Disney fan, feel free to send this to others so they know what to get you. 😏
A lot of these shops we’ve discovered while searching for items for our clients. We are also a small business - an outfit planning service for magical vacations. If the Disney or Universal fan in your life loves to plan outfits for their vacation, but may not always have the time, we can help! Check out our customized outfit planning services or our gift cards to add to your holiday cheer.
This Latina-owned small shop is run by a mother and daughter duo. We first came across their site while searching for ears.Thanks to their love of crafting and theme parks, they have created a gorgeous Disney-inspired business that houses ears, apparel, and home goods. They have items for all ages, including soft headband options for the little Disney fanatics in your life. Items are made to order unless otherwise specified, so order your gifts soon!
If you are looking for cute Disney-inspired earrings, keychains, and Labubu accessories, you need to run on over to Made by Magic Designs. Steph started making bows on her Etsy shop back in 2013 when she was just 19. Now, her shop is filled with beautifully handcrafted items that are perfect for even the Disney fan in your life who prefers more subtle touches to their outfits.
You can often find Made by Magic Designs at pop-up markets that she lists on the shop’s Instagram page. If you’re looking to order online, you’ll want to set your notifications, as she does shop drops over the weekend.
Perhaps you are looking for a gift for someone who lives, breathes, and sleeps Disney theme parks. The Quirky Mouse is the perfect place to find a truly unique item for the fans who seem to have everything. Kayla is a former interior designer who has turned one of our favorite attractions into an actual piece of art.
Her Stretching Room Portraits have made it to the top of our own Christmas lists. Other favorites of ours include the Muppet PizzaRizzo fine art print, and of course, the winking hippo tee that started it all. And if you really want to go the extra mile for your gift, don’t forget to find a frame to go along with your print.
A lot of Disney fans like to have a little piece of the park with them at home, and that includes items that even smell like Disney. Candles of Tomorrow is owned by a wife and husband team who work together to create the cutest Disney-inspired candles. Not only do they smell amazing and immediately transport you back to vintage Disney days, but they are also pieces of art. So much so, that I felt terrible burning our Imagination Pavillion candle.
These handmade candles will impress even non-Disney fans. We love that they focus on nostalgia and carry candles like The Great Movie Candle and Universe of Energy Candle. Plus, they are also from St. Louis, which makes them a local small business for us!
Minnie ears have become a staple for Disney vacations, or dare we say, even a right of passage. Outfit planning for your magical destination can be half the fun of going to Disney. But comfort and quality make a big difference for your photos and wearing them all day. We stumbled upon Ears for the Culture when looking for ears that were unique and sure to make our clients sparkle on their trips.
Nicole, the woman behind the magic, has created themes and designs that we don’t see anywhere else on the internet. She has been creating ears since 2020 and has made some truly stunning pairs. All of her ears are perfectly crafted and made with immense care and detail. If you or someone you know is heading on the Disney Destiny soon, we would highly recommend gifting the Webslinging ears!
We hope you give these shops a chance and can gift the Disney friend in your life something unique and personal. Don’t forget that just liking or following these shops on social media can make a huge difference in their business.
