Everyone who loves Mario loves games! I love that the theme of the Mario Monopoly board reaches beyond the board’s colorful design-the board makes sound effects from the video games, too. Instead of using regular houses and hotels, you get Toad Houses and Princess Peach Castles. Die-hard fans will appreciate that retro and modern Mario art styles are included.

Stuck on what to get your Mario-obsessed boyfriend, friend, or brother? Given the season, a cozy pair of Mario and Yoshi pajama pants would make an awesome gift. The pants are made from cotton, which makes them soft and lightweight. Bright primary colors make the design pop and feel true to the Mario franchise style.

Princess Peach, Toadette, and Yoshi are off to the races! Some Mario Kart racers (like me) will appreciate that all their favorite characters were brought together in one design. This sweater reads very Y2K with its vintage print and cartoon style. Unisex, women, toddler, and infant sizes are available.

The Super Mario Bros mushroom alarm clock is a creative gift for kids. It wakes the little ones with power-up sounds and doubles as a nightlight. Overall, the design is very cute and I give it points for functionality. I just wish the mushroom was squishy instead of hard plastic.

If you’re buying gifts on a budget, then I recommend this enormous Mario sticker set. There are 100 stickers in total showcasing Mario and all of his friends. Even though the sticker pack is labeled “Super Mario,” there are character stickers from many different Mario games. Being waterproof, these stickers are nice for water bottles, laptops, Ipads, etc.

Tanooki Mario is adorable and Super Mario 3D World was such a treat. If you loved the smash-hit Nintendo Switch game, then this Tanooki Mario plush belongs on your gaming desk. What’s nice about officially licensed merchandise is that the quality will always be up to standard. If you wanted a different Mario character plush, the “Little Buddy” line includes lots of Mario’s friends, too.

I’m obsessed with the details in these Mario bomber jackets. The black Bowser jacket has a vinyl patch that shows Bowser about to jump out of the jacket to attack. Princess Peach’s jacket is bubblegum pink with crown, coin, star, mushroom, and fire plant details. The front displays an outline of her and Mario running hand-in-hand. The 5 different styles feature:
- Mario
- Luigi
- Princess Peach
- Bowser
- Mario, Luigi, and friends

I think kids will like how bright and colorful this Mario blanket is. The design is from The Super Mario Bros Movie, which a lot of kiddos saw back in April 2023. Half of the blanket shows off how happy and colorful the Mushroom Kingdom is, but beware! The other half shows Koopa Palace spewing lava into storm clouds. If your kid is more of a fan of the Nintendo games than the movie, check out the other 3 blankets with Mario video game designs.

I never thought I’d see Piranha Plant become a part of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, but now that I’m here… I love it. This is the most unique Mario-themed art print I’ve ever seen. I’m torn between thinking it’s hilarious that Piranha Plant is posing in such a beloved art piece and realizing that the art itself is amazing. In terms of creativity, the Mario-themed Starry Night canvas deserves a 10/10.

Some Mario fans love baking, and I couldn’t think of a more perfect gift for those talented people than Mario cookie cutters.

If you choose the full set, you’ll get five Mario cookie cutters which are shaped like:
