WDW Christmas Gift (Star Wars?) For BF

[Tinkerbell_n_neverland]

I am stumped on a gift to get my DBF. I will be going to WDW in less than a month w/o him and would like to get him something there as a Christmas gift. Everytime I've looked for a gift for a male (aka my dad) at WDW I come up with all golf items. My DBF doesnt play golf! I know he likes Star Wars , but other than that I'm clueless. Does anyone have any good ideas or places to shop for him??? Has anyone ever gave a really nice gift to their DBF/DH that they can share??? Please give me ideas! Thanks!

Well, there happens to be a lot of Star Wars stuff at Disney, and a lot of Disney/Star Wars "combined" things.

At Once upon a Toy at DTD, he can build his own lightsaber. $19.99. That's pretty cool. There are also Disney "theme park exclusive" Mr. Potato heads of famous Star Wars characters (i.e., Luke Sky Walker as Luke Frywalker). Sounds corny, but as a Star Wars/Disney nut, I like them a lot. $12.95 each.

Art of Disney sells a big figurine of 'Jedi' Mickey Mouse, complete with light up lightsaber. Very cool. $150.

Is he into pins? There are tons of Disney Star Wars pins, too!

Oh, and make sure you ride Star Tours, too!

For an adult, I'd recommend the art books sold at Tatooine Traders (the shop at the Star Tours ride at the Studios park.) They have some very nice titles with beautiful illustrations.

If you are looking for something more whimsical, the same store also has a huge selection of clothing items related to SW, especially things that are imprinted with the insignia of the Rebellion or the Galactic Empire. These logo items can be subtle and a lot of fun for the enthusiast, because only other enthusiasts will recognize the logos and know what they mean.

Here's an example: how many non-fans do you know who can tell you what this stands for?

I agree with NotUrsula...Tatooine Traders would be your best bet.

I love WDW...but don't care a whole lot about the Character merchandise.

But Star Wars stuff at Tatooine Traders...I likes allot.

You could do a photo in a Star Wars scene for him. My DH cannot go into Tatooine Traders without getting one of those photos where they put his face into the Star Wars picture. There's tons of them to pick from. We've done him alone, him and our #1 DS, as well as the three of us... he is fascinated with them. You could bless him with one of yourself as Princess Leia

LOL, these are great. I really like the photo idea. I didnt realize there was a store but I knew there were some starwars items Ive seen at the art of disney @ DTD. Thanks so much everybody!
