10 Minecraft Christmas gift ideas that are sure to delight this season
1) Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition Bundle
If a Minecraft fan wants to offer the game itself as a Christmas gift, picking up the Java & Bedrock Edition bundle might be the way to go. Recently, Mojang decided to consolidate both editions of the PC version of the game into one price, saving money and offering players the option they'd prefer.
Considering that this saves players from having to purchase two different editions of the game on the same platform, it's an economical option and should make any fans who don't yet have the game on PC pretty thrilled.
Current price: $29.99 USD (Minecraft.net)
2) Redstone Ore Light
Home decor can be a nice way to display a player's fandom, and many Christmas gifts are even quite functional. This redstone ore lamp is a great example, taking on the perfect appearance of the ore block while emitting quite a bit of light, given its relatively small size.
Whatever the case, the subtle red glow should provide some night atmosphere during late-night gaming sessions.
Current price: $22.90 USD (Amazon)
3) Wooden Sign Replica
Signs are undoubtedly one of the most useful in-game blocks, and not just because of their customization capabilities. Whatever the case might be, fans can look to the title's community for handmade wooden signs modeled after those found in-game. Some fans even offer the option of purchasing signs resembling the different wood types players can find in the game world.
Thanks to the customizable messages that can be inscribed on each sign, these Christmas gifts can add a bit of a personal sentimentality for a friend or loved one.

4) Deep Dark Battle LEGO Set
Minecraft's licensed LEGO sets have remained incredibly popular since their initial debut, and they continue to be some of the best Christmas gift ideas in 2023. One example is this set known as The Deep Dark Battle, containing Arbalest/Netherite Knight and Warden figures, a tower that can be blown apart with a TNT block, and a turnable knob to make the Warden rise from the ground.
With a collection of 584 bricks and pieces, fans of all ages should enjoy recreating battle scenes staged within the deep dark biome and its ancient cities.
Current price: $64.99 USD (LEGO.com)
5) Minecraft: The Island, a Novel by Max Brooks
For fans who love some reading in their downtime, there are several in-universe books to appreciate. However, one of the stronger contenders comes from the mind of Max Brooks, senior fellow of the Modern War Institute and author of best-selling novels, including World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War and Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre.
Titled Minecraft: The Island, this novel follows a protagonist who awakens on a mysterious island, forced to survive and uncover their burning questions about their surroundings while dodging threats from creepers, skeletons, and zombies. While Brooks is well-known for his documentary-style prose, his approach to Mojang's landmark sandbox title is definitely an entertaining read.
Current price: $11.24 USD Hardcover (Amazon)
6) TNT Block Mini-Fridge
During a night of mining and crafting, a player tends to get a little parched. Fortunately, they can keep a few beverages nearby in this Minecraft TNT block mini-fridge. This thermoelectric refrigerator can carry up to nine 6.7 liter cans, is low on energy intake, and is even pretty portable thanks to its size.
If fans know a friend or loved one who enjoys a cold drink during their Minecraft adventures, it's hard not to see this mini-fridge as an excellent Christmas gift.
Current price: $32.47 USD (Walmart)
7) Creeper Fleece Pullover
It's no secret that winter can be a chilly time for a lot of people, so why not send along a Minecraft Christmas gift to help with that? Mojang offers a wide range of cold weather wear, and this creeper pullover hoodie looks great.
The fleece material does a great job of insulating heat, ensuring that fans can stay bundled up for the holidays in style.
Current price: $39.95 USD (Minecraft Shop)
8) Minecraft: Builders and Biomes
If fans are having their loved ones home for the holidays, Builders and Biomes can be a gift that keeps on giving. Playable by 2-4 players, the board game sees fans exploring the game world, collecting resources, and building structures to collect experience points. Fans will have to be wary, though, as they can draw hostile mob cards that can undo their plans.
Overall, Builders and Biomes should be a fun way to enjoy Mojang's landmark title without necessarily diving into the digital world. It's a great way to pass the time over the holidays with friends and family.
Current price: $39.99 USD (Ravensburger)
9) Holiday eShop Gift Card
Christmas gift shopping can be a stressful endeavor; there's no doubt about it.
However, if someone wants to snag a gift for a friend or family member all the same, Mojang offers eShop gift cards that come with prepaid dollar amounts, allowing the recipient to purchase any merchandise found on the game's official online store.
Current price: Varies from $10 - $100 USD (Minecraft Shop)
10) Mattel Creeper Plush
Creepers are quite cute, but getting close to one in-game usually ends in disaster. Fortunately, Mojang and Mattel joined forces to provide this adorable creeper plush that should make for a great Christmas gift overall. Though it isn't particularly large at eight inches tall, it's a spitting image of the hostile mob and can be appreciated without the risk of an untimely explosion.
Even better, if fans purchase this critter from the official shop, they can currently do so at a discount for the holidays.
Current price: $11.24 USD (Minecraft Shop)
