Fans will especially admire his use of pencil and watercolor as they explore the story development in this behind-the-scenes book.

Ghibli Vinyl Wall Clock

With so many excellent films created by one studio, it’s impossible for many fans to choose a favorite. This vintage wall clock is made from an old vinyl record and features details from some of the most popular Ghibli films.

Your friend will love carrying this lovely Totoro canvas zippered bag. It’s perfect for grocery shopping and can also be used as an everyday handbag or even a diaper bag.

Watercolor Movie Prints

What many fans find most appealing about Studio Ghibli’s films is the gorgeous artwork. This set of six watercolor prints features bright imagery with a minimalistic appeal that’s perfect for any office or room.

Baron Music Box From Whisper of the Heart

Whisper of the Heart is another charming fantasy film that isn’t quite as popular as other Ghibli classics, but it still portrays the lovely work of Miyazaki and director Yoshifumi Kondo.

If your friend happens to be in the fan club for this movie, then he or she will recognize the realistic and finely crafted baron replica, who is also the main character in The Cat Returns.

Your friend will love everything about this gorgeous figurine (which also plays the song “Country Road”). They’ll also adore the Luise figurine as well.

Crystal Pendant Necklace From Castle in the Sky

If your friend loves the 1986 classic Castle in the Sky, they’ll immediately recognize this crystal necklace worn by Sheeta in the film. Your Ghibli fan will love wearing this magical pendant necklace, and they can even learn the spells taught by Sheeta’s grandmother in the film.

Soot Sprite Slippers

Quality slippers and socks always make excellent Christmas gifts, especially when there’s a special meaning behind them. If your Ghibli lover often fills their home with imaginary creatures such as soot sprites, then these adorable slippers will make a fantastic present.

Entryway Key Holder

Your friend will love decorating her foyer with this lovely and subtle Totoro key hook. It holds more than just keys, though—the manganese steel can hold up to 35 pounds.

It’s perfect for organizing dog leashes, hats, scarves, or purses while simultaneously bringing style to any space. It also makes a sweet addition to any child’s Totoro room, or would even look great in a bathroom to hold towels or robes.

In this whimsical film, you quickly fall in love with her best pal and talking cat, JiJi. This cute rose gold-tone necklace is perfect for anyone who loves the film or cats in general.

No Face Water Bottle

A water bottle is another excellent gift, especially when it’s detailed with something your giftee loves. This one features No-Face from Spirited Away, and anyone who adores the film will recognize this little guy from a mile away.

It also features a safety lock and keeps hot beverages hot, and cold drinks cold. It holds up to 280 ml.

Ponyo Picture Book

Ponyo is a charming tale about a sweet and curious goldfish who lives in the sea but gets washed up to the surface. A young boy named Sosuke finds her, and they become the best of friends.
