Two things are true of all Star Wars fans: that we'll never say no to more merch from our favorite franchise, and that we all have one film in the series that we need a stiff drink to get through.

If your Secret Santa recipient is also a secret Sith, help them turn their boring co*cktails into fully operational battle stations. This trio of silicon ice molds, which come in a convenient tray, create spherical ice cubes in the shape of the villainous Death Star, just like from the original 1977 film.

And then also the 1983 film, and then somewhat again in 2013, and then a prequel in 2016, and ... you know what? We'll have that Death Star drink now, thank you.

Music fans will fall in love with this card deck, even if gin rummy really isn't their game. Each card features a drawn portrait of a music icon and all of the four suits are divided into music genres: hearts as pop, spades as rock, diamonds as folk, and clubs as country.

Naturally, Beyoncé is the queen of hearts, because this deck understands true royalty.

Maybe your Secret Santa recipient is Dallas-born and -raised, and wants to rep the Cowboys. Maybe they went to college in Cleveland and stand by the Browns. Or maybe they just enjoy feeling constantly disappointed, and so root for the Jets.

Whatever their NFL affiliation, get them a fun and functional gift that shows their team spirit and keeps their tabletops clear of can sweat.

Is there any minor inconvenience more irksome than bananas going brown too quickly? Spare your Secret Santa giftee this potassium-related agony by getting them Nana Hats. This Shark Tank product covers the stem of the banana bunch to trap in the ethylene gas that, when released, causes not just bananas but the fruit around them to ripen prematurely.

Know someone at your “9 to 5” who’s obsessed with their pet? Who constantly dotes on their dog to say “I Will Always Love You”? Get them a gift for their pet that will have them saying “Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That?”

From Dolly Parton’s own pet apparel company comes this costume wig, dress, and guitar that will make any pup look, and feel, like the iconic country star.

They love a movie night at home. They have a 4K TV and a sound bar for enhanced sight and sound. They carefully curate their snacks for taste. But have they thought about cinematic smells?

Brooklyn-based company Mise En Scent certainly has, creating candles themed to several movie genres and cinematic movements, like Rom-Com, or even French New Wave (which does not, in fact, smell like Jean-Luc Godard's ever-present cigar smoke).

This heat-sensitive mug is like a real-life Marauder's Map, appearing only when you pour your hot coffee into the cup! This gift is perfect for the muggles who wish they were a wizard (or the wizards who wish people would stop mistaking them for muggles).
