If you’re running a Secret Santa at work, or you’re looking for something fun to load into a stocking, or you’re just hoping to get a good deal on something novel and exciting, here are some of our best suggestions…
If you’re looking for an enchanted gift for the puzzle lover in your life, then EXIT: The Magical Academy could be the spell slinging surprise that you’ve been searching for. Games in the EXIT series capture the feeling of an escape room, but contained within a box. There will be puzzles, riddles, and brainteasers to engage curious sleuths of all ages.
In EXIT: The Magical Academy, you’ll concoct potions and cast spells to solve the mysteries plaguing a magical school.
The Magical Academy is just one among many EXIT games. These pocket-sized puzzle collections are available in a variety of genres and themes. If you’re interested in board games, you’ll want to play EXIT: Adventures on Catan, which will have you solving mysteries in the beloved world of Settlers of Catan. If you’re more into Tolkien, EXIT: The Lord of the Rings - Shadows over Middle-earth will have you unpacking puzzles from the Shire to Mordor. Meanwhile, EXIT: The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes lets you follow in the footsteps of the world’s most famous ace detective.
Whatever kind of puzzles you’re interested in solving, there’s an EXIT game for you.
Grogu, or “Baby Yoda”, is now one of the most popular Star Wars characters of all time. There are Grogu Funko Pops, Grogu backpacks, and LEGO Grogus that you can build up brick by brick.
If you’ve ever wanted to raise Grogu yourself and make sure that he grows up safe and secure in a galaxy that’s so full of danger, then this Grogu Tamagotchi Nano gives you everything you need to raise the Star Wars universe’s most famous infant.
With a variety of playable mini games, dietary options, and a selection of special guest characters stopping by to visit, there’s a lot to keep you entertained as you help Grogu grow. This could be a great gift for any Star Wars fans you know who are looking for something unusual and exciting.
As the Christmas cold creeps in, what could be a more appropriate Pokémon present to purchase than one of these Chilling Reign Blister packs? Pokémon cards are incredibly popular, and these Chilling Reign Blister Packs will take you back to one of the coolest expansions of the Sword and Shield era.
You'll get a commemorative coin, a booster loaded up with Pokémon from the frozen north of Galar, and an adorable promo depicting either Morpeko or Phanphy.
Grab one of these for anyone you know who's looking for some classic Pokémon cards that can add some frosty fun to their collection.
These days, everyone is a part of a thousand different fandoms. Funko Pops! provide a nice way of telling your friends and family that you recognise their passion for a series and they give them a souvenir to demonstrate that love to the world.
If you know someone who is really interested in anime, this Formal Levi Funko Pop! from Attack on Titan will add some swagger and class to their desktop. If there’s someone you know who loves Pokémon, an adorable Eevee Funko Pop! will brighten up their day, or if you know someone who’s mad about Star Wars, you can’t go wrong picking up a Funko Darth Vader.
At Magic Madhouse, we stock a wide variety of Funko Pops! from a selection of different worlds, just waiting to put a smile on someone’s face.
Booster packs are the heart and soul of any card game. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of peeling aside that plastic foil and checking out what’s waiting for you inside.
The new Magic: the Gathering crossover with Avatar: the last Airbender brings an elemental arsenal of cards from the world of the Legend of Aang into the MTG multiverse.
Boosters make great stocking fillers, and are an affordable way of helping someone to grow their trading card collection.
You can also grab a Final Fantasy or a Spider-Man pack if you know that you’re buying cards for someone who’s a massive fan of games or comics. The world of Magic: the Gathering also contains a wide selection of packs that tell their own unique stories. Whether that’s an adrenaline fuelled racing adventure like Aetherdrift, or a galaxy spanning space-opera like Edge of Eternities.

There you have it, a selection of affordable gifts from Funko Pops! to Tamagotchis, that are sure to be a pleasant surprise if you wrap them up and offer them to someone special.
