My fellow Stranger Things fans, the end is here. After nearly a decade (as TikTok has recently reminded me, this show premiered during the Obama administration), we're headed on one final trip into the Upside Down to see how things will pan out for our beloved band of Demogorgon fighters. Buckle up for so-bad-it's-good '80s fashion and a soundtrack that will probably once again skew my Spotify Wrapped. It's been more than three years since we last caught up with the gang in Hawkins, so I'm all-in for Season 5, and in desperate need of merch to flaunt my fandom.

Whether you're searching for the perfect gift for a Stranger Things fan or want to get yourself something special to commemorate the end of the series, the series took a note from Wicked and there are soooo many cute brand collabs to shop. I'm talking archival jackets, makeup palettes, heels, jewelry, candles—you name it, there's probably a product oozing with '80s nostalgia and whatever that goo is from the Upside Down.

Scroll on for the best Stranger Things brand collabs to send off the series in style. And for the record, if something happens to my man Steve, I will NEVER forgive Netflix.

Target is a hot spot for Stranger Things merch right now, with an entire storefront devoted to the show. While you can buy everything from themed food collabs to the scripts from every season, I'm all about the home goods, especially when they'll create the perfect viewing atmosphere. Trust, I will be burning this candle, made in collaboration with Otherland, while devouring Season 5.

In what might be my favorite Stranger Things collab, Wrangler has not only released a line of jackets and apparel inspired by the outfits worn in the series, but they've also opened up the vault to revamp archival '80s pieces for the most accurate feel possible. Erica's purple puffer is a no-brainer for the winter months, while Hopper's iconic jacket would make a great gift for your BF.

Want to subtly show off your love for the series? This super-soft baby tee lets you do just that. It's just as ideal for pairing with denim on errands day as it is with sweats for your inevitable repeat viewing sessions to pick up on all of the Easter eggs hidden in the series.

Still looking for the perfect way to count down to Christmas (and/or the Stranger Things series finale)? Try this advent calendar from the show's collab with Williams Sonoma. It's full of gummies and treats with an '80s vibe. We're also loving these spatulas as a gift for a Stranger Things lover who can often be found in the kitchen.

this subtle ring

Pandora Demogorgon Ring

Demogorgon Ring
Now 40% Off

While Pandora's Stranger Things line is packed with everything from glow-in-the-dark charms to sterling silver friendship bracelets, my personal pick is this Demogorgon ring. Although it might resemble a flower to the uninitiated, true fans will appreciate the clever nod to the demon that started it all.

Did I ever think a heel featuring a Demogorgon could be this chic? It's not just the charm (which is removable, BTW)—the actual heel has a Demogorgon stamp, leaving the coolest footprint this side of the Upside Down.

Although the sneakers from Nike's Stranger Things collab sold out faster than tickets to the Eras Tour, this cozy fleece featuring one of the series' most iconic lines is still available. I love how it channels the retro sportswear vibe.

Suzie, do you copy? Stranger Things has officially entered the beauty space. Covergirl's collab is packed with everything from an eyeshadow palette that'll help you achieve an '80s-inspired look to pH lip gloss and blush (named after Vecna, no less!) and press-on nails. Don't forget to toss it all in this color-changing makeup bag.

Odds are you're already sleeping with some sort of silk pillowcase and eye mask combo. If you're ready to refresh your stash, might I suggest this rainbow set from Kitsch, complete with nods to Eleven's (now iconic) hospital gown and the eerie Rainbow Room from Season 4?

Over the past few years, I can think of a handful of times in which having a mini cooler would have come in handy (Central Park picnics, tailgating, days when my leftovers simply wouldn't fit in my lunchbox...), which is why I'm eyeing this cooler bag. It fits up to six cans, has a vintage feel, and can be worn as a crossbody.

Sometimes, you just wanna be comfy-cozy, and a Squishmallow is exactly the thing you need. This pillow/stuffed animal hybrid is the perfect thing to snuggle up with while seeing how things pan out for the gang. While you can shop plush versions of Eleven or the Scoops Ahoy staff, I'm partial to this Demogorgon.

One of the coolest things about the rise of Stranger Things is the resurgence of toys and games straight out of 1987. The one I'm most excited about is the classic Lite-Brite. While the packaging might nail that throwback feel, it features the brand's first-ever translucent HD screen.

Is it just me or does this look like an '80s version of the viral L.L. Bean Boat and Tote? (Coming from someone who has been using one since she was in elementary school.) While we don't know much about The Squawk radio show yet, it reportedly comes up a lot in Season 5, so you'll be ahead of the curve.

Stranger Things Playset
Now 20% Off

No matter if you gift this to any little Stranger Things lovers in your life or snag it as a collectible for yourself, this Polly Pocket playset is packed with details bound to impress anyone. It's shaped like a walkie-talkie, has dual-sided scenes, and comes with not only figurines for all of the characters, but their bikes, too!

What's more '80s than the iconic "Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia" jingle? Perhaps this Chia Pet modeled after our beloved Dustin, which lets you grow out his locks while adding a touch of greenery to your space. This will 100% be a hot commodity in any White Elephant exchange.

With each season of Stranger Things, an '80s classic inevitably weasels its way into my head, heart, and Spotify playlist. Early feedback about the new season shows that radio station WSQK plays a major role, so I'm expecting a lot of good needle drops. And what better device to play them on than a record player that makes you feel like you're sitting in the DJ booth?

Rumor has it Holly, the youngest Wheeler sibling, plays a large role in Season 5. To commemorate her new character arc, Minnetonka dropped this pair of boots, complete with a very '80s-appropriate color palette, exposed stitching, and fringe details.

Ahh, the game that started it all. While I've never played Dungeons and Dragons, online reviewers say this Stranger Things-ified version is excellent for beginners. And who could resist this homage to Eddie? Gone, but not forgotten. (On that note, please tell me we're getting a Season 5 cameo.)
