There’s probably no place on the world map where MCU buffs don’t exist. Thanks to the epic characters, crossovers, plot twists, and storyline – Marvel didn’t only succeed in producing some of the highest-grossing films of all time. It also earned itself a strong, devoted fanbase in every part of the world, among every teenager and young adult of this generation.
I’m sure your friend’s circle must also have that one die-hard fan of this franchise. Think about it. Don’t you know that one lad who can’t contain their excitement when a new Avengers movie is about to hit the theatres? Who never seems to get enough of watching Endgame on loop? And who is nothing short of religious when it comes to MCU?
Well, if you can think of a face now, read this article as we list the top 7 superb gift ideas to make that very marvel fanatic face smile the brightest on their special day. Let’s go!
1. MCU Encyclopedia
One thing I personally love about this franchise? The subtle, little details in their movies! Right from Iron Man to Infinity War, the amount of tiny, “oh so clever” details every MCU movie consists of is mindboggling. And well, the true fanatics remember each of them by heart.
But when it comes to Marvel, no amount of facts and deets are ever enough! So if your Marvel fanboy friend also happens to be a sucker for such facts and trivia, there’s nothing better than an exclusive Marvel Encyclopedia for him. A full-blown book revolving around the plot and characters of this sci-fi universe, an MCU encyclopedia is a Marvel nerd’s dream come true!
2. Infinity Gauntlet DIY Lego Kit
I’ll laugh it off if you tell me you never fancied the idea of wearing the gauntlet that tempted Thanos! Six infinity stones collected from the most obscure parts of the universe bedecked in an Uru metal glove – the infinity gauntlet becharmed us for all the right reasons.
But while none of us can have the real one (thanks to Mr. Stark), the Lego version is nonetheless stunning. In fact, you get to build it yourself! So if you’re looking for a DIY gift for a Marvel superfan, I think I have already introduced you to the best option. Still, here are a few moreDIY gift ideas you can explore.
3. Black Panther Sipper Bottle
Black Panther is more than just a superhero – he is a benevolent king, a fierce fighter, and a revered member of the Avengers. A true, selfless leader who leads by example, T’Challa will always be one of the best characters in this cinematic universe.
I think this explains why even after the tragic passing away of Chadwick Boseman, the “Wakanda Forever” fandom didn’t come crashing down but got stronger instead. And now that Marvel has finally announced the release of the next Black Panther movie, I think it’s the best time to gift your friend a Black Panther Sipper Bottle and remind them to stay hydrated till you both hit the theatres to see who’s the new T’Challa.
4. Marvel Inspired Makeup Set
Looking for the bestgifts for her? Your search ends here!
Marvel is one of the few superhero franchises that managed to garner as many women fanatics as males – which is an extraordinary feat. And why not? MCU portrays some powerful female characters like Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Captain Marvel. And the fact that they are much more than basic sidekicks in all the movies is what highly resonates with every woman.
So if you know a girl who goes gaga over all things MCU, surprise her with a Marvel-inspired makeup kit on her birthday. After all, what more could a Marvel enthusiast ask for than a stash full of makeup inspired by the color palette of her favorite MCU character?
5. Iron Man “I Love You 3000” Tshirt
Don’t tell me you didn’t cry a river when Iron Man finally took his last breath in Avengers: Endgame. The unrivaled king of the MCU and a total rockstar, Tony Stark is a fictional character with no haters.
So well, if you do want to make an emotional appeal and tell your fellow Marvel fanatic best friend just how much you love them, gift them an Iron Man “I Love You 3000” T-shirt. Trust me; it’s a no-brainer!
6. Captain America Coffee Mug
The most righteous superhero of the franchise, Captain America, and his tales of sacrifice and heroism has earned him the tag of the most loved Avenger ever. Remember when we all shouted “Avengers, assemble” in unison at the theatre? Yes, that’s the kind of impact this character has on its fans. The true leader of the team, there’s no one quite like Cap.
So well, if you know a friend who’s most likely to shout along “Avengers, assemble” with you, gift them a Captain America coffee mug. What better way to kickstart mornings if not with coffee and Captain?
7. Plush Groot Toy
Finally, how can we forget Groot? The most adorable hero of MCU, Groot is one of my personal favorite characters simply because he’s the least complicated. And come on, is there anything that innocent little face can’t make better? Spoiler alert: no.
So if you think your buddy might need a cuddle partner for all those days when they are feeling low, get them a cute Groot plush toy and make them feel loved. In fact, here are a few othertravel toy options you might want to check out.
