We get it,Taiwan Kevin. You like watching TV. Now, get Ramsay Bolton off my desk.
In recent years, Funko Pop figurines have become the signature clutter of TV and movie fanatics everywhere. From tiny Tina Belchers to mini Marty McFlys, a diverse array of thousands of Funko Pop characters are available for purchase.
But, let's get real. Everyone who owns Funko Pops already has too many and—considering distant relatives regularly treat them as easy stocking stuffers—they've become a pretty clichéd gift.
Sure, that's a bummer. But, have no fear! We understand the sentiment behindthe Funko Pop purchase and we're more than happy to help you send the same message minus the monotony.

1. An adult onesie from Kigurumi
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable My favorite thing about adult onesies is that they alwaysseemlike a gag gift—but, if you've ever been given one, then you know they are actually super functional. You can do anything in them. Watch TV, clean up around the house, walk the dog, go to the grocery store... it's all in the confidence!
Kigurumi sells tons of different themed snuggly suits for your family member's or friend's next big TV binge. Are they a big fan of GoT? Get 'em a dragon. Or, maybe they still missing The Amanda Show? Get 'em a lobster.
Plus, all of these options have (fairly roomy) one-size-fits-all measurements. This gift grab is almost as easy as watching TV.
Price: $59.00 - $89.00 on Kigurumi
2. A Bachelor themed wine
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Okay, so wine isn't exactly "functional." But when it comes to bingeing reality TV, it is definitely essential.
ABC's ridiculously successful (and seemingly never-ending) Bachelor franchise is still going super strong. And nothing says, "I support your completely ludicrous obsession with manufactured romance" like giving your friend a big bottle of themed wine to enjoy over elimination ceremonies.
There is a selection of red, white, and rosé available, each bottle of which is aptly named. The red is a Cabernet Sauvignon titled "The Fantasy Sweet." The white is a Chardonnay called "One on One." And, the rosé, of course, is named, "The Final Rose."
If doomed romance isn't your loved one's thing, there are plenty of other TV themed wines out there.
Price: $16.96 per bottle on Bachelor Wines
3. This Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul bar set
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable While we're on the subject of alcohol, this 10th anniversary Breaking Badbar set is everything.
Complete with four lited blue ice cubes, the set merges cocktail creation with a chemistry aesthetic that screams Walter White. Whether your gift receiver still isn't over Breaking Bador is just super excited that Better Call Saul is taking us back to the good old days, this set will help them binge in style.
Price: $159.95 on the official Breaking Bad store
4. Some Game of Thrones house apparel
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Look. If your loved one doesn't know if they're House Targaryen by now, then they simple never will.
With the final season of Game of Thronesset to premiere in early 2019, it is now or never on committing to GoTapparel. It isn't going to be cool once everyone is trying to force themselves to like Westworld again in 2020.
HBO's official store has everything from t-shirts to cufflinks. Go subtle or go statement. Either way, make sure you've committed to this trend before it's too late.
Price of all apparel: Varies on HBO ShopPrice of Targaryen shirt: $34.96 on HBO ShopPrice of Direwolf cufflinks: $64.95 on HBO Shop
5. A bulk order of tissues for watching This Is Us, Pose, or whatever other fresh hell is headed our way
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable I don't know about you, but unrestrained sobbing has become a major part of my viewing experience ever since This Is Uspremiered.
I know 8 boxes of tissues—that's 1,040 tissues in total—might seem like a lot. But, honestly, if you've seen Milo Ventimiglia do literally anything in that series, then you understand. (Don't even get me started on Johnny Sibilly in Pose.)
You can literally and metaphorically comfort your loved one by getting them stocked up on the crying companion they need with Kleenex. Plus, who doesn't need tissues? It's flu season!
Price: $16.89 on Amazon
6. A royal bracelet from Alex and Ani for The Crown fan in your life
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Since it would be pretty strange to have a tiny bronze Claire Foy hanging from your wrist, I present this dainty alternative.
Netflix's biographical drama chronicling the life of Queen Elizabeth II is unfortunately royally lacking when it comes to official merchandise. However, jewelry retailer Alex and Ani has a number of monarchy-honoring charms to adorn your regal appendages.
This specific charm bracelet purchase is not only stunning, but also benefits Girls on the Run International. For each bracelet sold, Alex and Ani will donate 20% of the purchase price towards motivating and inspiring young women around the world. I mean, how can you beat that?
Price: $28.00 on Alex and Ani
7. A Huda Beauty eyeshadow kit to achieve that GLOW look
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable With so many incredible 80's makeup looks featured on GLOW, I am truly shocked Netflix hasn't released an official Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling makeup pallet.
That being said... with the help of a few YouTube tutorials and Sephora, your loved one can recreate these stunning looks on their own. This eyeshadow kit by Huda Beauty (in the color "amethyst") is particularly Zoya. But, they've also got colors that scream Liberty Belle and Brittanica. Maybe have your gift receiver take a quick GLOW quiz first?
Price: $27.00 on Sephora
8. A thoughtful (and disturbing) Black Mirror homage
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Black Mirror: it's the only show available that can make you fear for the future more than the news.
Charlie Brookers' masterful anthology of nightmares has gained a huge holiday season following since it first came to Netflix Decembers ago.
To keep your loved one company during this year's annual terror binge, you might treat them to a cup of "Cuppliance" à la "Fifteen Million Merits" or a stuffed monkey creepily reminiscent of "Black Museum." Either way, they'll probably thank you... Probably.
Price of Cuppliance mug: $17.55 on Redbubble
Price of stuffed monkey: $10.58 on Amazon
9. A Stranger Things Ouija board
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Ouija boards are creepy on their own—but add a Stranger Thingstwist and they're borderline horrifying.
Season 2 of Netflix's scifi smash hit continued to up the ante for the people of Hawkins, Indiana. Now, you can basically dare your friend or family member to try their hand at contacting The Upside Down.
Sure, it's no Christmas lights with a hand painted alphabet, but it's definitely better than nothing.
Price: $19.99 on Amazon
10. The beginning of a Marvelous Mrs. Maisel wardrobe
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.Come for the incredible writing and female empowerment. Stay for Midge's completely sensational fashion.
If you've been streaming Prime Video's amazing series about a 1950's house wife turned female stand-up comedian, then you have undoubtedly spent a large amount of time admiring the show's period aesthetic. Luckily, you don't need the show's award-winning costume designer, Donna Zakowska, to achieve the same look. (Although, that would be awesome.)
ModCloth is an online women's fashion retailer that specializes in vintage inspired clothing, footwear, and accessories. Help the special person in your life find their inner Midge... or at least some stunning block heels.

Bob's Burgers merchandise is rarely in short supply. There are cookbooks, rabbit ears, Kuchi Kopi nightlights—you name it, it's out there. But these Tina Belcher sweatpants have a certain something that is just irresistible.
