Best Minecraft toys and gifts 2022
The best gifts for the Minecraft lover in your life.
Minecraft has thrived for over a decade as one of the world's most popular and successful games across Xbox, Windows PC, and now even PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
At this point, Minecraft is a pop culture icon, and as such enjoys a plethora of awesome official merch, toys, and gifts, including partnerships with major brands like NERF, LEGO, and more. For yourself or the Minecraft fan in your life, here are the very best Minecraft toys and gifts.
Minecraft features the Minecraft Marketplace, which includes countless community-created worlds, items, educational adventures, and more to elevate the Minecraft experience to new levels. Minecoins are the currency of choice here, and let Minecraft players unlock brand-new ways to play.
LEGO is already one of the best gift options for children and adults alike, and the company's long-time collaboration with Minecraft makes this even more true. There's a wide collection of LEGO Minecraft sets available, from smaller beginner sets to expensive and more complicated builds.
Minecraft has actually spawned a full series of creative novels alongside official guides, with the survival crafting brand partnering with famous authors to continually create new stories in the universe. The entire collection or individual books — they all make great gifts for readers and Minecraft fans alike.
Minecraft has now collaborated with yet another legendary toy brand with NERF, and that partnership has spawned the epic Sabrewing motorized bow. With a Minecraft-inspired design and unique bow action, this is a fantastic gift to keep the Minecraft fan in your life active and moving.
The perfect marriage between video games and board games, Minecraft Builders & Biomes is a strategy board game aimed at being accessible to children yet engaging for older board game enthusiasts. With great build quality, excellent reviews, and optional expansions, this is an awesome gift.
Looking for more traditional toys? Treasure X and Minecraft have teamed up to create an entire line of creative toys and figures inspired by the Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Update, including a set that lets you dive into the oozing End Portal to battle the Ender Dragon.
The second product of Minecraft and NERF's collaborative efforts is the Pillager's Crossbow, which lets users live out their real-life Minecraft fantasies in a new format. This Crossbow features a blocky Minecraft-inspired design and a pull-back action.
Plenty of kids adore a good collection of stickers, and sticker books have their own sense of collectability. Minecraft has several official sticker books to choose from, with each following a theme. This an affordable and easy gift for Minecraft fans, if you don't mind having stickers around the place!
If you know a Minecraft fanatic, personalize their bedroom and their sleep with a four-piece Minecraft Creeper set for twin and full-size beds. Including a comforter, sheets, and a pillowcase, all themed with Minecraft's most iconic mob, this is the ultimate bedtime gift.
There's an endless amount of merch and apparel available for Minecraft, but one of the highest quality and complete collections comes from Bioworld, which includes shirts, sweatshirts, masks for children and adults, backpacks, blankets, and a myriad of other well-designed accessories.
Need a new pair of shoes to go with all that Minecraft apparel? HEELYS are coming back in a big way, and the iconic shoe company has partnered with Minecraft to create a line of slick-looking shoes for children of all sizes. With these, any child Minecraft fan can get around with style and speed.
Designing and building is one of the greatest joys in Minecraft, but for some it is an art to be mastered. The upcoming Minecraft Master Builds book is a perfect holidays gift for any aspiring Minecraft builder, and is packed with the most inspirational and awesome builds in all of Minecraft.
This isn't a gift for children — This is the ultimate Minecraft gift for the gamers and professionals. Secretlab and Minecraft partnered to create a beautiful limited edition of the critically-acclaimed Titan Evo 2022 gaming chair, which is one of the best chairs money can buy.
Another perfect holidays gift, but this time for the artists instead of the builders. The official Minecraft coloring book features 64 pages of beautifully illustrated art just begging to be colored and completed by a creative Minecraft fan, and it's coming just in time to be a stocking stuffer.
