Best gifts for anime fans this Valentine’s Day

If you’re stuck on what to buy this Valentine’s Day, here are our recommendations for the best gifts to buy for the anime-loving dork in your life.

Dragon Ball Z Son Goku Bathrobe

What does the strongest warrior in all of anime need? That’s right, to stay cozy and warm on a cold evening. This bathrobe replicating the style of Son Goku’s Gi can do just that, making it a perfect gift for the, most likely chilly, Dragon Ball fan as it comes with his iconic symbol on the chest and back, as well as the blue belt to perfectly replicate the ensemble.

Dragon Ball Z Broly Gym Bottle

Is your partner hitting the gym to get as big as Broly? They’d need to train for a long time, but, more importantly, they must keep hydrated! So a would make the perfect gift this Valentine’s Day and give them the drive to keep at the gym. Though admittedly, they’d need to put the work in to catch up to even Yamcha.

S.H.Figuarts Son Goku Figure

Treat your other half to an incredibly well-detailed and articulated figure of Dragon Ball’s leading man, Son Goku this Valentine’s Day. The Saiyan warrior comes with four interchangeable facial expressions, four pairs of hands, and single parts of his right hand waving and another right hand raising two fingers so fans can pull off his iconic “instant transmission” pose. Fair warning: if this is the first figure they’re gifted, this may start a figure-collecting craze.

One Piece Chopper Plush

You can finally give your partner the gift of hugging the most adorable doctor in all the Grand Line with this 10-inch tall plush of Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece in his post-time-skip attire. Though Chopper can’t fix your injuries, he could undoubtedly help fix your relationship with your anime-loving partner this Valentine’s Day.

One Piece Thousand Sunny LEGO-inspired building set

If you’re stuck inside this Valentine’s Day why not have a LEGO-inspired date night by building the Straw Hat crew’s ship the Thousand Sunny from One Piece? This brick-building set is created by JESGO and contains 432 pieces making up a great block-based replica of the mighty vessel, sporting the Straw Hat’ jolly roger.

One Piece Chopper Hoodie

Going back to the cutest medical professional in the New World, why not gift your significant other a Chopper-themed Hoodie to snuggle up in this Valentine’s Day? On the front, Chopper peaks at you, and on the back is the flag of his mentor and adoptive father, Dr. Hiriluk, as well as “Tony Tony Chopper,” embroidered on each sleeve in Japanese.

S.H Figuarts Chainsaw Man Figures

Nothing says “I love you” more than a figure of a high schooler with chainsaws for limbs. Well, except maybe three more potential figures to choose from from the ever-popular Chainsaw Man series. Though they may not seem like a romantic gift, we consider these perfect for your Chainsaw Man-obsessed partner.

While more characters are available for pre-order, here are three S.H.Figuarts Chainsaw Man figures that are available now in time for Valentine’s Day: Chainsaw Man himself, the deadly Samurai Sword, and the ever-incorrigible Power. All figures are heavily articulated, making for great play and posing possibilities for collectors.

All of the figures come with multiple handpieces; both Chainsaw Man and Samurai Sword include an alternate face piece. Power comes with a wide variety of accessories, many different weapons, faces, handsets, and her adorable cat, Meowy.

JuJuTsu Kaisen Character Pin Set

From Satoru to Makumi to Inumaki, it’s highly unlikely that your partner’s favorite Jujutsu Kaisen character, probably Gojo, is missing from the adorable collection of character pins. You’ll receive eight character pins in this set of “chibi” versions of the Jujutsu Kaisen cast, ready and waiting to be worn on your person or on your backpack.

Jujutsu Kaisen Ramen Bowl

DOMAIN EXPANSION: RAMEN BOWL. Well, that didn’t work, but thankfully, you can buy a Jujutsu Kaisen ramen bowl for your Gojo-obsessed partner just in time for Valentine’s Day. The bowl comes with a pair of chopsticks, which can be placed in the dent in the bowl, as well as a hole to put your chopsticks through so you don’t lose them.

Looking for that next anime to binge with your partner? Look no further with this anime watchlist scratchboard containing 100 different anime series to watch. We’ll warn you now: some of the anime included in this poster are substantial in length, to say the least, but you’ll be proud to scratch them off the list when you’re finished; you can’t scratch off One Piece just yet.

Those are our suggestions for some great gifts you could give to your anime-obsessed partner this coming Valentine’s Day. If they’re more into Funko Pops, don’t worry.
