Because I am a huge Pokémon fan, I spend way too much time looking at official and fan-made merchandise—much to the chagrin of my wallet. As a result, this list of top Pokémon gifts was put together by digging around my usual go-to spots like Etsy and the official Pokémon Center and dipping into the murky waters of This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ’s Pokémon offerings.

In my opinion, every product in our best Pokémon product guide is at least worth a look for Pokémon fans looking for gift options. When looking for great Pokémon gifts, my recommendation is official marketplaces like the Pokémon Center or Pokémon’s official This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up shop. These only list products that are licensed by The Pokémon Company. Etsy is an excellent place to browse if you want a wider selection of unofficial products where you can easily check reviews and quality.

You can also try to buy individual singles or cards that have already been pulled, for cards they are interested in or that feature their favorite Pokémon—my friends have given me plenty of Golurk cards as gifts in the past.
