Best Gifts for Palworld Fans
Buying gifts for gamers can be a challenge, especially if you don’t know the game. That’s why I’ve sorted through lots of Palworld gifts around the internet to make a masterlist of all the best ideas. I encourage you to look through these Palworld gift ideas if you’re buying for yourself or a fan.
Don’t you think some Pals were designed specifically because they could be marketed as plush toys? I don’t think anyone is mad about it. Everyone loves Lamball.
In all seriousness, these Palworld plushies are designed after some of the cutest, fluffiest Pals. Their price isn’t bad, either. Game-inspired plushies can cost an arm and a leg, so affordable Pals like these are a welcome find. Here are all the pals you get to choose from:
- Lamball
- Melpaca
- Quivern
- Depresso
- Anubis
- Cattiva
- Fenglope

I had to include a Depresso shirt. In case you’re unfamiliar, Depresso is a fan-favorite Pal and the embodiment of the millennial spirit. He’s cute, he frowns, and he’s in dire need of Fluoxetine.
The shirt stays true to Depresso’s color scheme-black and blue. You can pick which t-shirt color you want, but I like that all the options are Depresso-centric (blue, gray, purple, etc.) I’ll give this one props for having a wide range of sizes for:
- Men’s
- Women’s
- Men’s Big and Tall
- Women’s Plus
Key Facts
- Average Price – $15-$25

I adore the LED Pal Sphere! Any Palworld fan could appreciate this gift. Pal Spheres are like poké balls-everyone uses them in the game.
What sets this Pal Sphere apart is its color changing capabilities. It comes with a remote control that lets you cycle between 13 different colors. Of the Pal Sphere replicas I’ve seen, this one looks the best. Pal Spheres have intricate linework that can be hard to get right, but this 3D printed Sphere pulled it off.

This Palworld blanket should look familiar to everyone who plays the game. The design shows the opening screen! Pals like Grizzbolt, Pengullet, Lamball, Relaxasaurus, and more are poised to fight. My only complaint is that the humans who were part of the opening screen have been left out.

Any other Chillet fans out there? Maybe Grizzbolt is your boy? If your favorites weren’t included in the last batch of plushies, hang in there, because this selection offers 13” Palworld plushies for:
- Chillet
- Grizzbolt
- Depresso
- Cattiva
- Chikipi
- Tanzee
- Lamball

A great Palworld gift for girls is a Pal Sphere necklace! These look like crystal necklaces, which are still popular today. The price is a little steep, but they are made of real silver. If you want something of higher quality than most novelty necklaces, this is a beautiful option.
Otaku4Goods has a nice variety of Spheres to choose from. You can go with blue for the classic Pal Sphere look. The other colors represent one of the following Sphere types:
- Mega Sphere
- Giga Sphere
- Hyper Sphere
- Ultra Sphere
- Legendary Sphere

This is the ultimate cozy Palworld sweatshirt-it’s a minimalistic sweatshirt with Relaxasaurus embroidered over the left breast. I picture this being the sweatshirt I’d put on after getting home from work. It’s soft, simple, and features the chillest Pal from the game. I would buy this for Palworld fans who appreciate something subtle.
If you like the embroidered Relaxasaurus but don’t love sweatshirts, you can buy this same design on t-shirts and hoodies. The colors offered are:
- Black
- White
- Ash
- Sand
- Forest
- Red
- Pink
- Blue
- Mint
- Orange
- Indigo

Depresso needs his espresso, and so do I. I love that this Depresso mug captures the essence of who Depresso is-annoyed and in need of coffee. There are two designs to pick from. one says “Depresso Espresso” and the other says “Mood.” The way his little hands are holding a coffee cup kills me.

Every PC gamer needs at least one fun keycap. It’s true. I love how this Lamball keycap looks just like the fluffy sheep Pal you can catch in the beginning of the game. The details are flawless (and I’m not just being biased because Lamball was my first Pal.) Though handmade, I’d think this keycap was official merch if I didn’t know better. The only downside? Handmade novelty keycaps can be pricey…

These Palworld keychains would make a great finishing touch on a gift basket. If you’re looking for something small, I think these could be perfect. They’re pretty inexpensive, too. The clip color matches the color of the Pal they’re attached to, which can be:

- Cremis
- Daedream

Yes, Palworld does have a story. While Palworld is an open world game and you don’t have to follow the story to have fun, there is a plotline to follow. The story is tied into journal entries and your mission to defeat Towers.
Will Palworld Be on Switch?
Palworld isn’t on Nintendo Switch, yet, but the game could potentially be available to Switch players one day. Some fans are feeling hopeful about it. Keep following the official Palworld social media accounts for updates.
Why Does Palworld Keep Crashing?
Unfortunately, crashes in Palworld are common. That’s because Palworld is a new game that’s still in development. The version of Palworld you can play now isn’t the finished product.
