30 Best Ghostbusters Gifts for Fans Old and New

Most fans first watched these films on worn-out VHS, so the 4K restoration is a genuine upgrade, not a duplicate. Both originals come in one case with Blu-ray and digital copies, which makes it the cleanest main gift for a fan of the 1984 era.

Afterlife is the film that turned a lot of today's teenagers into Ghostbusters fans, and its final act is a love letter to Harold Ramis. Give it to the younger fan who has only streamed it, or to the parent who wants to share the franchise with their kids.

If they already own Afterlife, this completes the new-generation pair. The return to the Manhattan firehouse gives original-era fans plenty to spot, and the combo pack covers both disc players and digital.

Aykroyd and Ramis wrote it and the original four voice their characters, so plenty of fans treat it as the real Ghostbusters III. It's a great pick for the gamer who has always wanted to wrangle a ghost into a trap themselves, and it runs on a PS5 too.

The rules are plain Monopoly, so nobody at the table has to learn anything new, but the ghost traps and franchise properties keep the Ghostbusters fan grinning. A good family gift for a household that does board games over the holidays.

This is the splurge gift for the adult fan who builds LEGO or loves the car more than anything else in the films. The steering works, the gunner seat extends and a ghost trap hides under the floor, and the finished model looks great on a shelf for years.

Pick this if they already have a Plasma Series figure or two: it's built at the same scale, so the team can stand next to the car. The 1984 paint scheme makes it the version original-film collectors want.

Not everyone has room for a big model. This metal Ecto-1 fits on an office desk or a monitor stand, opens its doors, and costs under $20, which makes it a smart coworker or secret-santa gift for a fan.

The O-ring style recalls the action figures fans had as kids in the 1980s, so this set hits nostalgia for the parent and works as a sturdy toy for their children. All four original Ghostbusters come in one 40th-anniversary box.

For the fan whose favorite line is a Venkman line. This 6-inch figure carries a full proton pack, wand and trap, and the articulation means you can pose him mid-bust on a bookshelf.

If they already line up Funko Pops on a shelf, Ray in his jumpsuit slots right in. It's a low-effort gift that still shows you know they collect.

This is the Ecto-1 meant to be driven across the living-room floor. The swing-out blaster seat comes straight from Afterlife, so it suits a young fan who discovered the series through the newer films.

Egon cites this book in the first film, and now it exists as a real illustrated guide to the spirits of the Ghostbusters world. It's a clever gift for a fan who catches every reference, and it looks good among real books on a shelf.

The behind-the-scenes book for someone who wants to know how the Stay Puft finale was filmed and how the proton packs were built. Concept art and set photos fill most pages, so it works as a coffee-table book too.

Aimed at the fan who loved the new film's look, from the dusty farmhouse to Muncher and the rebuilt Ecto-1. It's also a good choice for an artist or designer who happens to love the series.

The easiest way for a parent who grew up on Ghostbusters to pass it on to a preschooler. The rhyming retelling keeps the spooky parts gentle and the jokes intact.

A tiny trap that lights up and makes the movie sound when you open it. It's an ideal stocking stuffer and the sort of desk toy a fan will set off during every slow meeting.

For the fan with a turntable, the 1984 soundtrack on white vinyl looks good on display and plays the theme song they already hum. Pair it with the 4K set for a full movie-night gift.

Everything needed to suit up in one box: the khaki jumpsuit, logo patch, name badges and a backpack proton pack with wand. Great for the friend who plans a Halloween costume months ahead or wants a group costume with the crew.

The meter is the detail that makes a homemade costume look official. Add it to the jumpsuit, or give it on its own to a fan who displays movie props.

Sometimes the simple answer is right: an official logo tee for a fan who wears their fandom to the grocery store. A safe pick for teens and adults alike.

The epaulettes and chest pockets borrow from the uniform without looking like a costume, so it works as a daily jacket for the fan who prefers a quieter nod to the films.

An inexpensive add-on that still shows you remembered they love Ghostbusters. The cushioned, reinforced build means they'll last past the first wash.

Equal parts winter loungewear and lazy Halloween costume. The embroidered Slimer face on the hood makes it a funny gift for the fan whose favorite character is the ghost who eats everything.

Slimer perched on his trap is soft enough for a young fan's bed and charming enough for an adult's desk. A licensed, budget-friendly pick that works for any age.

Shaped like Egon's uniform and wrapped in a silicone grip, this mug is a smart gift for the fan who sides with the scientist of the team, and a nice tribute to Harold Ramis.

A tiny Slimer they'll see every time they grab their keys. Under $20, it's a good add-on or a stocking stuffer for a teen fan.

A big, bright print of the original logo and tagline for a game room or dorm. Frame it and it becomes the centerpiece of a fan's wall for very little money.

It lights up and plays lines from the film, so the fan gets a laugh every time they pass the tree. Hallmark Keepsakes are made to last, which makes it a gift that comes back every December.

For the fan who goes all out at Halloween, a seven-foot glowing Stay Puft on the front lawn is the obvious move. It sets up with the built-in fan and stakes in minutes and gets every Ghostbusters fan on the block talking.
