Now this is the ultimate retro throwback. Lite-Brite was all the rage in the ’80s, and this Stranger Things Lite-Brite Edition brings that nostalgia to your fingertips. The ColorPop kit includes templates inspired by iconic moments from Seasons 1–4, from the arrival of the Mind Flayer to the rise of Vecna.

This keepsake is essential reading for diehard Stranger Things fans — and perfect supplementary material for first-time watchers who want to dive deeper into the show’s expansive, addictive lore. A quick heads up: the book was designed to mimic a used book – complete with real marks, scuffs, and tears. So don’t go blaming the delivery guy for something that was completely intentional.

Styled like a piece of Hawkins survival gear, the Stranger Things Squawk Retro LED Flashlight comes in a limited collector’s edition design with vintage detailing and includes batteries right in the box.

Demogorgon 3D Lamp: $64.99

I’ll admit it: out of all the eerie, supernatural creatures to crawl their way out of the Upside Down, the Demogorgon is easily one of the most menacing. And what better way to pay homage to this Hawkins nightmare than with an official Demogorgon 3D Lamp?

Functional and aesthetic, this 3D replica of the monstrous Demogorgon features a touch-sensitive switch and rotates 180 degrees so the light from its flower-like mouth can be directed anywhere. Perfect as desk decor or bedside lighting, this portable, rechargeable lamp is functioning proof that the Upside Down is never too far away.

Coleman x Stranger Things Soft Cooler: $23.99 (20% off)

In the rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, our protagonists know better than anyone that the best way to get around is by bicycle — and that means packing efficiently. The Coleman x Stranger Things Soft Cooler, which is part of the larger outdoors collection, hits the sweet spot between functional and personality.

It keeps drinks cold, snacks secure, and still carries that 80s Hawkins aesthetic. While it’s billed as a soft cooler — and yes, the insulation is top tier — I’ve found it works just as well as a daily sling. It’s perfect for everything from hikes and weekend excursions to a day at the office.

Figures have always been extremely collectible, and the Stranger Things - Dustin Vinyl Figure will have any Stranger Things Fan gleaming with excitement once they proudly display it at their home or office.
