Anime Figures and Standees

Is your friend a die hard Hatsune Miku fan or maybe they just love their waifu or husbando. Anime figures are a great way to show that otaku friend you care. Show them you listen to their hour long yaps about that one particular show with a figure of their favourite character. Crunchyroll has a few great ones available under $50 like the Hatsune Miku: Luminasta Christmas 2023 for only $34.99 and you can't go wrong with a Hello! Good Smile Megumi Fushiguro at only $19.99.

Board games are a great gift as they can be enjoyed by many at a great price point. A personal favourite to the Colin team is Oracle. Oracle is a thrilling blend of battle and social deduction. Perfect for casual meetups and parties, it is extremely easy to learn and play, with simple rules and a playtime of 15-30 minutes. Plus Oracle is on sale for a limited time only for only $19.99 on Amazon! Stay tuned for a Colin review on this one!
