🌙10 Best Sailor Moon Present Ideas
Great Sailor Moon gifts for the Moonie in your life this Christmas
Those who know me well (or even slightly) know that I’m a complete Christmas freak who’s absolutely obsessed with this time of year. The decorations, the music, the food, the history and culture, the good will towards all man… I can’t get enough.
In the spirit of the season, I thought I’d try something a little different with this newsletter issue write a quick Sailor Moon gift guide for those who need a bit of extra help with their last minute Christmas shopping this year.
Before I get started though, two quick bits of Sailor Moon news:
The Kaguya Hime's Beloved and Nogizaka46 ver. 2019 Sailor Moon musicals are now available to watch on-demand online. Details here.
The cover for the fourth volume of the Sailor Moon: Naoko Takeuchi Collection has been released. You can check the image out, and pre-order the manga, here.
Now on with the Sailor Moon present ideas for Christmas 2021 list!
1: Sailor Moon Eternal Edition Manga
This latest re-release of the Sailor Moon manga, Sailor Moon Eternal Edition, is an absolute must-have for both casual and hardcore Sailor Moon fans.
In addition to featuring a new and vastly improved English translation, the paper is magazine quality, has more colour pages than previous releases, boasts a shiny holographic cover, and is absolutely MASSIVE. A great read and a fantastic collectible that looks great on the shelf.
Tip: Codename Sailor V is also available as two Eternal Edition volumes.
2: The Official Sailor Scout Umbrella
This official Sailor Moon umbrella is a great gift idea for fans as it not only looks similar to the umbrellas used by the characters in the Sailor Moon manga and anime but it also uses a rather subtle design that makes it recognisable by fans while also being stylish enough to be used in most settings.
This umbrella is also collapsible which makes it easy to carry and wrap. Grab it here.
3: Sailor Moon Eternal Moon Kaleidoscope Proplica
This new edition of the Moon Kaleidoscope Proplica is inspired by the design used in the new Sailor Moon Eternal movies that came out this year on Netflix.
This Proplica is to scale which means that it can be used as part of a costume or even just to play with. It also looks great on display. The Moon Kaleidoscope Proplica features movable wings which can be opened and closed, LED lights that change the colour of the staff and light up the center crystal, and music and sound effects from Sailor Moon Eternal that can be activated with the push of a button. Available here.
4: Sailor Moon Item Tumbler
I love this official tumbler that uses a more mature and artistic design than the usual stock Sailor Moon anime images.
This Sailor Moon tumbler is covered in lovely designs of the various transformation items and weapons used by Sailor Moon in the 90s anime series and the gold lid adds an extra layer of sophistication that should appeal to the more mature fans looking for something Sailor Moon to take to the office. Pick one up now.
5: Sailor Moon Soup Bowl
Speaking of drinkwear, this official Sailor Moon soup bowl is a must-have for Sailor Moon fans. It’s big, pink, and uses some subtle visuals that some fans may recognise from the anime.
Best of all, like all of my recommendations on this list, it’s 100% official Sailor Moon merchandise. Available here.
Sponsor: I’d like to thank my friend Sarah for sponsoring this issue. She runs a variety of different projects but the one I love the most is Adorka Bows, an online store featuring cool pins inspired by the magical girl anime genre.
My fave is the Snow Queen pin which is perfect for this time of year. Check it out here and then give her a follow on Twitter and Facebook.
6. Sailor Moon Gift Set
If you’re suffering from a bit of analasys paralysis, this official Sailor Moon gift set is a great idea as it comes with three different Sailor Moon items; a mug, a keychain, and a notepad.
Another perk of this Sailor Moon gift set is that it all comes in a box which makes it WAY easier to wrap than individual mugs and keychains. Order one here.
7. Sailor Moon 2022 Calendars
Calendars are always a great idea for Christmas and birthday presents as they’re something that can be used throughout the entire year and also provide some extra style to empty walls and corners around the house.
There are two official Sailor Moon calendars currently for sale for 2022. The regular Sailor Moon calendar (see above image) features 12x12 inch pages while the smaller one uses a 7x7 inch page size. You can order the regular one here and the smaller one here.
8. Sailor Moon Moleskine Notebooks
One of the hottest Sailor Moon items of 2021 was Moleskine’s line of official Sailor Moon notebooks that boast a high quality build and design with a variety of free stickers.
9. Banpresto Sailor Moon Eternal Q Posket Figure
This new Super Sailor Moon figure is based on the characters look in the new Sailor Moon Eternal movies that came out in 2021.
A solid gift idea for fans of Sailor Moon Eternal and the first three seasons of Sailor Moon Crystal. Available here.
10. Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3 Blu-ray Set
Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3 has been out for a while but it actually slipped under the radar of a lot of fans due to its niche launch which is why it’s on this list in 2021.
Copies of the season are still available. Buy here.
That’s about it for now. Have a very merry Christmas, a safe New Years, and all the best for 2022! 🌙
