19 'Squid Game' Gifts That Will Make You the Real Winner This Holiday Season

There's something special about the way Squid Game fans were attached to the Netflix series from Episode 1. The show, which was filmed in South Korea, is about a competition with a series of challenges that are based on popular playground games. After the immense popularity of Season 1, Netflix also released a reality show with a similar premise (sans killing) titled Squid Game: The Challenge, which is similarly captivating viewers.

Naturally, with how popular this franchise is, you're going to have a friend or two who wants gifts inspired by the series — and we've got you covered. Here are 19 options to get you started.

There are few things more synonymous with Squid Game than the creepy over-sized doll in the Red Light, Green Light game. This one is quite a bit smaller at 9.8 inches tall, but it's a replica of the real thing from the TV show. Unfortunately, if you want to buy it for your Squid Game fan bestie, you'll have to pre-order it for its January 2022 release.

Price: $125 from Netflix's online store.

Choose from any of the six Pop! Funko Vinyl figures made to look like a handful of the main Squid Game cast members. Whether it's one of the armed guards, the "Old Man," or our hero himself, Seong Gi-Hun, you can pay homage to them by displaying one of these figures in your home or gifting them to a friend so they can.

Price: $11.99 from Netflix's online store.

If you'd rather give the gift of making your own Dalgona candy or cookies that just look like the iconic Squid Game shapes, you can buy cookie cutters to do just that. This set comes with everything you need to make Dalgona just like in the show — though there are much lower stakes if you break it on accident.

Price: $9.99 on Amazon.

Or, if your friend isn't the DIY-type, get them the candy in bulk so they can try it! These ones won't come with pre-cut shapes to cut out, eliminating the game aspect, but it'll still an easy and tasty treat to gift.

Price: $17.48 on Amazon.

Whoever the Squid Game fan in your life is, chances are, they wouldn't want to actually play the deadly game in real life. They might, however, want to see what they look like as one of the players. You can commission a personalized piece of art on Etsy that puts your loved one in the game.

Price: Starts at $16.60 from ToonWizard on Etsy.
