the best mickey mouse gifts for the holidays this year

Mickey Mouse is 90 years old this year. And the party is on. For those who really love everything Disney (and who doesn’t?) we’ve rounded up a list of the limited-edition Mickey and Friends luxury items currently available. These would make perfect gifts for the young or the young at heart on your list. From accessories to travel ideas, these are the best Mickey Mouse gifts for the holidays this year.

It seems hard to believe, but Mickey Mouse is now officially a nonagenarian. The character first appeared in the 1928 animated film Steamboat Willie. Meaning he’s 90 years old!

Sounds like an excuse for a party. In case you miss the goings-on this weekend at the various Disney parks, there are plenty of options to get in on the fun before the year is over.

Here are 10 ways to bring the magic this Christmas with the best Mickey Mouse gifts for the holidays this year.

1. Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones

Beats by Dr. Dre has teamed up with Disney to craft a cool-kid pair of Mickey Mouse headphones. The Solo3 Wireless headphones ($329.95) include the Apple W1 chip and come with a custom felt case, a decal and a 90th Anniversary pin. Just like the standard model, these feature the fast charging “Fast Fuel” tech.

2. Swatch x Damien Hirst Watches

Watch maker Swatch and noted designer Damien Hirst have joined hands for a limited-edition Swatch Art Special Mickey Mouse-inspired watch collection. The Mirror Spot Mickey Watch($125) features a mirrored dial, quartz movement, and a red and yellow strap with Damien Hirst’s signature on the inside. It’s limited to 19,999 pieces, and each one is numbered.

The slightly higher-end Spot Mickey Watch ($185) features a similar design with a more refined look and a jet-black dial. It’s restricted to 1,999 pieces and is available only for 24 hours today, November 18, 2018 (’cause it’s Mickey’s actual birthday).

3. Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses

The M90th Limited Edition Wayfarer ($203) is part of the Ray-Ban x Disney collection, which celebrates Mickey Mouse as a True Original. These sunnies feature green lenses and black outer temples, and come with an authenticity card in a red Ray-Ban case.

4. Vans Snapback Hat

Disney x Vans Mickey Mouse’s 90th Snapback Hat ($28) is a 100% cotton 5-panel snapback hat with a retro Mickey Mouse screen print. This collab also includes jaunty anniversary crew socks ($15) and a retro-cool backpack ($50).

5. A Rag & Bone Denim Jacket

The jean jacket ($395) from the limited edition collab between rag and bone x Disney Mickey Mouse was made using original sketches from the Disney archive. Its aim is “bringing a decidedly New York sensibility to his endearing personality.” Cut from premium black denim, it features a pop-color pocket and special-edition Mickey Mouse graphic on the back. Plus “Oh Boy!” detail on the inside.

6. A Disney x Le Crueset Dutch Oven

The limited edition Mickey Mouse 90th Anniversary Round Dutch Oven ($250) is the result of a collaboration between Disney and high-end kitchenware brand Le Crueset. The lid features the outline of the iconic cartoon character incorporated into Le Crueset’s signature three-ring design. The slightly higher-end version, The Mickey Mouse Round Dutch Oven ($350), is adorned with a Mickey applique and stainless steel knob.

7. A Polaroid Camera

The limited-edition Mickey Mouse Polaroid 600 vintage instant camera ($199.99) comes in a classic combination of white, red and yellow (it has all of the other features of the Polaroid 600). A pack of the eight-photo Mickey Mouse anniversary-edition color film costs an additional $19.99. The camera arrives in a bright, bespoke box.

8. A Shinola Watch

Shinola Detroit x Disney Limited Edition Runwell ($2,000) is the top of the line in this collab. This limited-edition timepiece in the Shinola x Disney Mickey Classics Collection features the Disney icon as he was first introduced in The Karnival Kid (1929) hanging on the 12 o’clock marker. “Pie-eyed” Mickey—named for the wedge-shaped highlight in his eyes—was used in newspaper comic strips and merchandise until 1939 when Fred (Freddie) Moore redesigned him. Turn it over, and find a black Mickey ears’ silhouette in red. The gift set includes a special “how to draw Mickey” sketchbook and a framed serigraph of the famous character signed by Disney artist Jeff Shelly.

We love the packaging devised by Shinola for this special collector’s piece: a cherry wood box that features a laser-etched quote from Walt Disney. The collab also includes the Silhouette Mickey Runwell ($800) – which also comes in this handsome box – and a leather backpack ($1,495).

9. A Dutch Work of Art

Dutch designer Marcel Wanders has created a one-of-a-kind Mickey, adorned in his “One MiNutE Delft Blue” style. One MiNutE MicKey is made of resin and stands almost 55 inches tall. As a finishing touch, he boasts a gold chrome nose.The artist created only 8 of these – each one was handcrafted in his studio in Normandy. They’re valued at 25,000€ (about $29,300).

10. A Minnie Mouse Tote

What’s a birthday party without your friends? For those who want show Minnie Mouse some love, look no further than Disney x Coach. This year’s holiday collection is all about Minnie. We vote for this sporty zip tote ($325).
