ATEEZ Official Lightiny Keyring ver.2
ATEEZ - OFFICIAL LIGHTINY KEYRING VER.2. Available at KStars.
ATEEZ just announced their 2024 world tour ‘TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER’ and they could potentially make a stop or two in your country (we’re manifesting for you). For the ATINY who is also manifesting an ATEEZ concert ticket, how about gifting them the ATEEZ Lightiny keyring to help fuel their manifestation powers. When the time comes for them to see the members live, they can clip the keyring to their bag and they’ll be concert ready!
Jungkook Golden album
JUNGKOOK - GOLDEN. Available at KStars.
The final instalment of BTS Chapter 2, Golden, is the perfect album to make an ARMY’s Christmas even more special. With the last remaining members enlisting in the military, the ARMY in your life will definitely need a pick me up, so how about treating them to the group’s ‘golden maknae’s’ solo debut work? The Shine version (green) has the perfect festive packaging, too.
TWICE 5th World Tour ‘Ready To Be’ collect book
TWICE - 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ COLLECT BOOK. Available at KStars.
This one’s for the photocard collectors! This adorable pink collect book, marking the nine member group’s 5th world tour, is the perfect addition (or starter) to any ONCE’s photocard collection. Just choose their favourite member and they’ll receive the collect book plus three gorgeous photocards of their bias. What’s not to love?
TREASURE TRUZ acrylic stand
TREASURE - TRUZ ACRYLIC STAND. Available at KStars.
This stocking stuffer is sure to make any Teume smile. These cute little acrylic stands are the perfect decoration for a K-pop collection or even a desk, so your loved one can stay motivated at work.
BT21 Minini tumbler
BT21 - MININI TUMBLER. Available at KStars.
These official BT21 tumblers are adorable to say the least. Your loved one will enjoy taking this gift to school or work as a memento of their favourite BT21 character. Not only will this gift help your loved one stay hydrated, but it’ll look super cute on their desk — it’ll be sure to bring them a smile every time they look at it.
2022 Winter SMTown: SMCU Palace (Palace Version) album
2022 WINTER SMTOWN: SMCU PALACE (PALACE VER.). Available at KStars.
Who doesn’t love a festive album? This SMCU album is perfect for the K-pop fan in your life who stans idols signed to SM Entertainment. And it’s just as perfect for the colder season. If you’re not sure which SM group your loved one likes the most, then the Palace version of this album is the safest option.
Stray Kids 5-Star album set
STRAY KIDS - 5 STAR [ALBUM SET]. Available at KStars.
It’s no secret that K-pop collecting can be expensive… So save the STAY you love some money and treat them to this 5-Star album bundle. The album version designs are absolutely stunning so it might also be too difficult for a STAY to choose the one they want the most. This bundle also gives your wallet a little treat as it costs £17 less than buying each album separately!
ZEROBASEONE D’Icon: The Beach Boy (group and member versions)
ZEROBASEONE - DICON: THE BEACH BOY. Available at KStars.
This gift could thaw any frozen heart this Christmas. ZEROBASEONE made their hot debut earlier this year and this beach themed magazine is sure to bring warmth to any fan’s life. Not only will the ZEROSE you love receive a magazine (written in Korean for them to practise their language skills), the group version also comes with a film photo postcard book, a photocard set with 11 photocards, a printed signed Polaroid pouch set, and a handwritten letter photo set. The contents of the member version is slightly different, but we recommend purchasing the group version just in case you can’t remember your loved one’s bias.
K-pop album mystery boxes
ALBUM MYSTERY BOXES. Available at KStars.
If you’re buying for a multi-stan the album choices can be overwhelming. Take some of the stress away from your purchase by buying a mystery album box instead! All you have to do is choose between a girl group box or a boy group box (or you could purchase both) and your loved one will receive 4 sealed albums. The featured artists include Stray Kids, Seventeen, ATEEZ, BTS, TXT, Le Sserafim, Twice, Newjeans, ITZY, Blackpink… and more, so there’s something for everyone!
KStars gift card
KSTARS GIFT CARD. Available at KStars.
If you’re still having a hard time choosing what to buy for your loved one, why not let them choose? Pick a gift card amount between £10 and £100, write a special message for your loved one, and select ‘send as a gift’. The recipient will receive a QR Code in their email inbox that they can use to redeem in store or online. Now your loved one can enjoy their time browsing in store or online for their favourite K-pop items.
Happy gifting!
