For many, celebrating the joy that the Star Wars franchise brings us is a daily ritual. For the rest of the world, there’s May 4th, otherwise known as Star Wars Day. As an unofficial Star Wars holiday, it’s the one day a year where fans come together to revel in the sci-fi franchise that continues to bring the world together, even during these difficult times.
Despite the landscape of the world we live in right now, fans young and old still love these adventures in a galaxy far, far away. And, with the release of the second season of The Mandalorian this fall on Disney+, not to mention the imminent release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The Clone Wars series finale, it’s no surprise that Star Wars fever is at its peak this May 4th.
With this in mind, we’re pretty sure you know someone who loves Star Wars. And whether that person is actually you or a friend or family member, gifting a Star Wars-related present is always going to be a win, especially when it comes to celebrating the season.
Whether you’re celebrating Star Wars Day by adding some new merchandise to your collection or looking for the best Star Wars gifts for a friend’s birthday, there are a ton of great options. To make your celebration unforgettable, we’ve compiled a varied selection of Star Wars gifts anyone is sure to love. From the complete Skywalker Saga on Blu-ray to Death Star Pop Sockets, we have gift ideas for everyone — even the scruffiest nerf-header you know.
May the 4th be with you!

6. Tervis The Child Insulated Tumbler
BEST FOR FANS ON THE GO
You can’t talk about the best Star Wars gifts without talking about Baby Yoda! We love Baby Yoda as much as you do, and we’ve previously written about our favorite Baby Yoda merchandise. The Mandalorian put a smile on fans’ faces when it debuted “The Child,” the face that launched a thousand memes, and we’ve all taken to lovingly calling the little guy Baby Yoda. This insulated tumbler features a nice, clear image of the little cutie and is perfect for toting around hot or cold drinks your giftee can sip from any time. They just might have a hard time looking away from how cute this tiny little green kiddo is.

Made of vegan leather for enhanced durability, they’re a great choice for both amateurs and professionals and offer that much-needed touch from a galaxy far, far away.
13. Death Star Weed Grinder
BEST FOR STONERS
For Star Wars fans who love marijuana as much as they love the Skywalkers, we have the perfect gift. To be honest, we’re surprised that the famously litigious Disney lawyers haven’t gotten this piece of merchandise removed from Amazon yet, so we definitely recommend ordering while you still can. This “herb grinder” is in the shape of the Death Star, and it’s one of the funniest and best Star Wars gifts we’ve come across in the run up to May 4.
