Budget-Friendly Star Wars Gifts
You don’t need to spend a ton of money to buy a gift that will impress. Here are some budget-friendly Star Wars gifts that all come in under $25.
1. Star Wars: The Life Day Cookbook
This cookbook, available on Amazon, is totally adorable, featuring recipes that are themed around the Wookiee holiday, Life Day… Think of it like the human Christmas!
The recipes are easy enough for even the most unsure chef, and many are, or can be modified to be, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. From Wookiee cookies to Mudhorn eggnog, you’ll find lots of fun treats that may just become favorites for even those who aren’t fans of all things Star Wars.
2. Star Wars: Knitting the Galaxy
If your friend is more of a crafter than a cook, check out this book that will show them how to make a bevy of cool Star Wars items at home, from costume pieces to toys, apparel to home decor. There are nearly 30 different projects, all with full instructions. Maybe you’ll get lucky and your friend will make you something!
3. Han Solo and Princess Leia Pillowcases
If your Star Wars fan friend is part of a Star Wars-lovin’ couple, opt for these affordable pillowcases. They come in a set that features likely one of the most iconic lines in sci-fi history and will make any Han Solo-Leia stan swoon.
4. Stormtrooper Planters
These Stormtrooper planters available on Etsy are just the affordable gift for your pal with a green thumb. They’re the right size for most succulents and cacti and make an adorable addition to a desk space or really any sunny spot. The planters are 3D printed and come in two sizes, as well as multiple colors.
5. Star Wars BB-8 Ceramic Teapot and Cup Set
Your friend can find a Star Wars mug anywhere. Level up their daily cup of tea with this super cute and original BB-8 teapot and cup set.

“Serious” Star Wars Gifts
What do you get for the fan who’s a little on the down-low about their fandom participation?
You know the type. They’re not exactly going to wear their favorite Star Wars-themed tie or t-shirt to a company meeting and they might not have movie posters scattered across their home, but on the weekends, they go all out at their favorite cons.
Give them a bit of covert Star Wars love with one of these best Star Wars gifts that they can enjoy all the time, without breaking their cool.
7. The DIFF Star Wars Collection
If your Star Wars fan is on the near-sighted side, hook them up with one of these pairs of DIFF glasses that are themed after favorite characters from the Star Wars universe. There’s a sleek green pair that’s a nod to Boba Fett the Bounty Hunter. A geometric black pair gives strong Darth Vader vibes.
And if your fav fan isn’t in the market for some prescription glasses, they can also choose from several pairs of sunglasses themed after characters such as Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and more.
8. Ruggable Star Wars Rugs
Ruggable offers Star Wars and Mandalorian-themed rugs starting at $100 and going up to $700. All are sleek and classy and you wouldn’t even know that they were themed unless you were a hardcore Star Wars fan or you asked.
Think artistic designs that, once you look a little closer, are actually TIE Fighters or toile rugs that, upon inspection, aren’t actually covered in tiny prints of Victorian children and farm animals, but iconic scenes from The Empire Strikes Back.
9. The Corkcicle Star Wars Collection
Similarly, drinkware brand Corkcicle offers a Star Wars and Mandalorian collection that features sleek options that are minimalistic enough to not be so in-your-face. With Darth Vader, Boba Fett and R2-D2 themes, you have several options to choose from, including several drinkware types to pick through, from coffee mugs to tumblers to canteens.
10. Colourpop’s The Child Eye Shadow Palette
This limited-edition eye shadow palette is an easy way for your friend to add a little extra Star Wars love to their everyday look, without busting out the cosplay. The palette includes nine gorgeous hues and Colourpop’s eyeshadow is known to be both budget-friendly and long-lasting, with minimal fallout. All of the colors included in the palette are based on the colors used in designing Baby Yoda.
11. Rebel Alliance Earrings
Another stylish, yet sleek and subtle option? These Rebel Alliance earrings are available on Etsy. Pick between gold and silver. The design is simple and cute, but only recognizable to true rebels like your friend.
12. Citizen’s Star Wars Collection
To those not in the know, Citizen’s Star Wars collection of watches pretty much just looks like a collection of men’s and women’s watches that may or may not have a slightly subtle 1980s vibe, but look a little closer and you’ll notice the fine details that true Star Wars aficionados are sure to love.
The delicate silver and rose gold Princess Leia watch, for example, features a small Rebel Alliance nod in the watch face. The men’s Darth Vader watch looks heavily tactical, but is black, red and a subtle reflection of the iconic Vader suit.
The watches range from $206 to $475.
13. Philips Norelco Star Wars Shaver 175
A totally unexpected partnership? Maybe, but for those who want to add some Star Wars love to their morning routine in a toned-down manner, this Philips Norelco shaver fits the bill. The Storm Trooper design doesn’t detract from the shaver’s functionality.
ComfortCut blades provide a protective shave, while a flexible head moves in four directions. The shaver can be used with either a cord or cordless, and it can run on battery power for up to 40 minutes.

Move aside, tiny crystal ducks and flowers that have been taking up space in your grandma’s curio cabinet.

21. Hot Toys Star Wars Shadow Trooper

If your friend’s idea of fun is more so kicking it around an old-school pinball machine and less building Lego kits, you might want to opt for this pinball machine with a fun OG Star Wars theme.
25. Star Wars Yogibo Max
Is it a bean bag? Is it a mat? Is it a gaming chair? Whatever it is, it’s super sleek, super cool and super comfy. Choose from either a Rebel or an Empire theme and then get to sittin’.
The unique piece of furniture is body conforming, features a removable cover that’s durable and washable and pet-friendly. It can be used as a chair, recliner, bed or couch.
