Amazon
I have these socks and love them! I’ve also purchased them as gifts and they’re always a huge hit. Since they’re a little bit higher, I like wearing them with tall boots.
Promising review: “When I spotted these socks I knew I needed them in my life, as I love Miyazaki’s films. I’m usually particularly picky about my socks so I don’t risk buying online since it’s impossible to know the quality, but thankfully these are great! Soft, stretchy, and not scratchy at all. They are super cute and look great peaking above your shoes. I wear a US 9 and they fit perfectly.” —Nancy
Promising review: “WOW this is seriously the CUTEST necklace ever!!! I love how Jiji’s tail swings so freely and how he can slide up and down the broom!!! So adorable! Plus he’s soft coated, different from the shiny broom he’s on. The chain is very good quality and so is the broom. Even my mom loved it. Completely worth it if you’re a Studio Ghibli fanatic and grew up watching Kiki’s Delivery’s Service.” —Jessica Rivers

A soot sprite skirt that’ll make them feel, well, spritely, from the moment they slip into it. So cute!
Hot Topic
Promising review: “The soot sprites are just simply adorable; I just want to eat the little stars with them! The skirt has hidden pockets; which I’m so glad for. These are a must have for me and is the reason why I buy so many skirts from Hot Topic. The material is comfortable and really thin (but thick enough so that we don’t see through it). The little buttons are really discreet, so they blend in the pattern, but still add a cute side to the skirt.” —Mykaeru
Get it from Hot Topic for $23.03 (available in sizes XS-XL and 2X-3X).

A plush Jiji journal so they’ll always have somewhere to write down sassy remarks — it’s what Kiki’s cat would want.

A plush version of Jiji they’ll love snuggling up with while watching Kiki’s Delivery Service for the thousandth time. Just remind your friend to try not to feed him pancakes (he’s a stuffed animal).
I have one of these little guys and just love him. A friend gave him to me and I keep him in my bedroom window — just like the real Jiji.
Promising review: “If it weren’t for the fact that it is an animated film, I would believe that this was the same plushie they used in the movie. I know that is silly, but he is just so perfect, very soft and with very dense stuffing so he has a nice thickness that feels good. He sits properly and even though it took a bit of coaxing, his ears stand up like they should.” —kenekeMalia

Most of the stickers are Spirited Away–themed, but there are other Studio Ghibli classics such as Howl’s Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, and much more.

The shirt fits true to size for a unisex-style shirt, so I purchased a large (I’m 5-foot-10 and like my shirts a bit looser).
