12 gift ideas for Captain Marvel fans this holiday season

The MCU hasn’t formally inaugurated Captain Marvel into its superhero guild just yet, but Carol Danvers already has a growing horde of fans who are eager to expand their Kree-Human loot.

Although Captain Marvel’s titular film hasn’t debuted yet, Carol Danvers has captivated us since she first donned her Ms. Marvel costume in 1968 Marvel Comics. Even if your friends and family members are the biggest comic nerds, they’re probably already in love with Carol Danvers or Brie Larson (or both). We can’t blame them.

Though Marvel Entertainment is still gradually rolling out its official cinematic Captain Marvel collectibles and apparel, there are plenty of gifts that will make any Skrull want to cancel their imminent invasion (even though that’s highly improbable, given Skrulls’ are obsessed with colonizing other planets). Whether the people of your holiday shopping list are just starting to take an interested to Carol or they’ve had a “totally normal Earth” cat named Chewie (or Goose) since they started stanning the comic iconic five years ago, there’s a Captain Marvel-themed gift for everyone.
