One of the greatest gifts you can get a fan of Disney movies is an actual copy of their favorite Disney movie. And while you're at it, you might as well get the highest quality resolution possible. There are quite a few classic Disney movies that have been remastered in 4K to choose from in 2025. My personal favorite of the bunch is The Emperor's New Groove, which my friends are still quoting to me on a regular basis to this day. This is Disney's latest 4K release and it's already been very popular during its preorder period.

Disney has released a lot of different LEGO sets over the years, but it's only recently that the company has started dipping its toes in the adult market. This year alone we've seen some of the best new LEGO Disney sets aimed specifically at the 18+ crowd. My overall favorite of the bunch is the Wall-E & EVE set because it's both adorable and affordable. If you're looking for something more expensive, though, I'd suggest checking out the massive Beauty and the Beast castle or Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship sets that came out earlier in 2025. Any of these would be an excellent LEGO gift for the adults in your life.

There are a lot of great gifts for readers out there, but I've found it's just easier to buy actual books for people instead of overthinking it. Thankfully, Disney has ties with written stories that go way back. My top pick within this realm is the gift edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It includes the classic stories of Christopher Robin and his bear as well as the original illustrations. I own a copy of this myself and it's quite delightful.

If you're hoping to find something smaller that can blend seamlessly into someone's home, there are plenty of great Disney gifts for the home available. My overall top pick is the Disney & Pixar Store puzzle. It's filled to the brim with fan-favorite characters from over the years all wrapped up in a really cool puzzle. The image itself also makes for a great poster once all of the pieces are in place, so it doubles as a piece of Disney art. It's also made from Ravensburger, one of the best puzzle brands around.

There are a surprising amount of Disney games available on the Nintendo Switch, and each of them has its place in the fandom. My overall top pick for Disney adults, though, is Disney Dreamlight Valley. First released in 2023, this game is a life sim that is functions very similarly to Animal Crossing. You play as a human who winds up in the magical world of Dreamlight Valley with a task of helping iconic characters restore their memories. It's relaxing, fun, and really easy to play.

How to Choose a Disney Gift for Adults

There is no perfect gift for every Disney fan out there. Everyone has a different favorite movie or section of Disney World that makes them unique. So if you're looking for the perfect gift for someone, I'd suggest starting by figuring out exactly what it is about Disney that they love and what they already own. Fans of the movies themselves might love a 4K copy of their favorite film, for example, but only if they have a 4K Blu-ray player that can actually handle such a disc. Pixar fans might love the LEGO Pixar Lamp set, but only if they have somewhere where they can actually display it. Step one is knowing who you're buying the gift for and whether or not they can actually use it.

The second major thing to consider when picking out a Disney gift is how much you're willing to spend. LEGO sets, for example, can get really expensive as the piece count increases. You may like the idea of giving a Pirates of the Caribbean fan a giant LEGO pirate ship, but are you willing to spend almost $400 on such a gift? Knowing your price limit can help you narrow down what's actually feasible for you to buy for someone this year.

The LEGO Piranha Plant measures 9" high, 4.5" wide, and 6.5" deep – about the size of a potted plant – and consists of 540 bricks. The Piranha Plant makes for a fantastic display; it has numerous articulation points located at the head, mouth, stalk, and each of its leaves, and the jaw is also hinged, all of which allow for myriad customizable poses. There's even a cool little easter egg: A piggy bank is built into the pipe with two golden coins included to get you started on your stash. Despite the small brick count, this set is intended for ages 18+, so novice builders may need guidance. Once completed however, this adorable looking set is sure to be a hit with people of all ages, even if they didn't join in on the build.

Kevin Wong built this set for IGN and wrote, "As far as LEGO builds are concerned, the new Piranha Plant is just about perfect – vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you're new to bricks or you're a dedicated hobbyist, this set captures that signature Mario franchise whimsy – cute but not too cute, menacing but not too menacing, and imbued with lots of personality."

Check out the LEGO Game Boy set

Another LEGO x Nintendo collab that has been making waves amongst the IGN community is the new LEGO Super Mario Game Boy set. This is a near 1:1 replica of the original Game Boy released back in 1989. The set comes with two game cartridges: Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and even includes their respective lenticular screens. Seth Macy built this set and loved it.

As someone who has logged a lot of Mario Kart hours, I can honestly say this thing looks pretty fun to play with. My own son isn't quite old enough to start messing around with Hot Wheels stuff, but my nephew would go crazy for this thing. He probably wouldn't care at all that it's Mario Kart-themed, but he would be smacking that launcher like nobody's business.

At $41.99, this is the lowest price we've ever seen it go for on Amazon. It's worth noting, however, that it only comes with one Hot Wheels car. You'll get a 1:64 scale die-cast Kamek in a classic Kart. So if you want to build a larger collection of Mario Kart characters, you'll need to buy the separate Hot Wheels packs for buy them individually. I'd recommend going with the four pack route, but it costs almost as much as the track itself.

It's included in Amazon's new limited-time coupon

The discount on the track itself is already pretty good, but it's also included in Amazon's latest promotion. For a limited time, you can save $25 when you spend $100 on a ton of different gifts included here. The list of toys, games, and other random gifts is pretty massive and there's some surprisingly good stuff in here. You could easily spend $100 on Barbie dolls or board games, for example, and get the extra $25 off.

The promotion works similarly to the '3 for 2' sales Amazon has run in the past. All you need to do is add $100 worth of eligible items to your cart all at once and the $25 discount will be automatically applied at checkout.

The Sonos Era 100 retails for $219 new, but you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $134. This is Sonos' most popular and most versatile speaker. Despite its compact size, the Era 100 houses two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers to produce precise, distortion-free audio even at high volumes. It has a built-in microphone for smart functionality. Because of its flexibility, it's often paired with a sound bar or a second Era speaker.

Sonos Arc Soundbar

Sonos doesn't discount its flagship Arc lineup of speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. It's a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently not on sale for $1,100.

The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar

The Sonos Beam is a great option for someone who requires a more compact sound bar or simply doesn't want to spend too much money on a speaker system. It's attractively priced right now at just $299, so $100 less than the Arc. The Beam (Gen 2) is a 26-inch long, 5.0-channel soundbar with one tweeter and four mid-woofers for natural, balanced sound and four passive radiators to help with the low end. Although the Beam doesn't have physical height channels, it has two virtual height channels for Dolby Atmos support. There's also a built-in microphone for smart functionality.

Sonos Sub 3 Subwoofer

The audio savvy knows that a single speaker isn't enough to reproduce an entire soundstage. If you could pick only one other speaker to supplement your existing one, then a subwoofer would make the most meaningful impact. If you want to add ground-shaking bass to your Sonos setup, there's still nothing better than a separate standalone subwoofer. The Sub 3 boasts plenty of power in the form of dual inward-facing 5"x8" woofers and a ported design that allows for a louder and deeper low-end.

Why Sonos?

If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.

My pick for the best overall gaming mouse is also the pick for the best lightweight mouse: At 56g, the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is wonderfully light, comfortable, and zips around your mouse pad. Despite its weight it's built to last, with a remarkably sturdy shell, reassuringly solid mouse buttons, and a beefy battery that lasts up to 150 hours on a single charge.

This is simply Razer's best-ever mouse, with flawless tracking through the Focus Pro sensor. In our review, it performed brilliantly in every game we tried, with no stuttering, and it felt like our movements were mirrored exactly on screen.

It is more expensive than other mice on this list, and slightly less portable because of its larger dome-shaped dongle. But if you're after a lightweight desktop gaming mouse that will excel in any genre for years to come, look no further.

Budget doesn’t mean subpar. This $35 option is a terrific choice for the more casual gamers who don’t require pro-level speeds and don’t necessarily want to spend a lot of money on something they won’t need. As cheap as it is, Roccat's Burst Core doesn’t compromise on performance, design, or build.

Thanks to the Titan optical switch and the PixArt PMW3331 optical sensor inside, it’s just as snappy and accurate as its premium rivals, and it's just as comfortable to use. To keep the price down, it cuts back on luxuries like RGB lighting and super high DPI. Still, that 8,500 DPI is more than enough to see any gamer through the latest shooters.

There's lightweight, and then there's the Corsair Sabre V2, weighing just 36g. If your No. 1 priority is keeping the weight down, then this is the mouse for you. During the testing for my review, when I switched between this and other lightweight mice the difference was almost comical. It barely feels like you're holding anything, and it's fluid on your mouse pad.

It's not perfect, however. Its battery life is shorter than most and it's not the sturdiest lightweight mouse – but if you can look past those flaws, it gives you brilliant gaming performance in a ridiculously light package.

In terms of cost, performance, and weight, the Asus ROG Keris II Ace is easily one of the best lightweight gaming mice available. It offers over 100 hours of battery life, a polling rate of up to 4,000Hz, and DPI settings up to 42,000. If after several days of intense gaming the battery does start to run out, you can easily switch the Asus ROG Keris II Ace over to wired mode while it charges.

Despite weighing just 54g, the Asus ROG Keris II Ace somehow feels sturdy and comfortable while using it, fitting larger hands just as well. The included 3M grip tape adds an extra layer of grip that might be needed due to the lackluster default side grips, but otherwise, this is a solid gaming mouse that won’t weigh you down.

The Superlight 2c is the smaller, lighter version of the excellent Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, one of the best gaming mice. The original was already light, at 60g; the smaller 2c weighs just 51g (or 53g in the EU), making it one of the lightest mice you can buy and you don't sacrifice build quality, comfort, or performance.

In testing I found that, despite its size, it's still comfortable in a variety of grip styles, including palm grip. Its sensor and buttons are precise and responsive, and the scroll wheel tactile. It's simply a joy to lose. It doesn't have Bluetooth connection so you'll always need the dongle plugged in, and Logitech's G Hub software can be a bit of a pain, but those limitations are worth putting up with.

If you like Logitech's mice but don't want to go this small, then just choose the original Superlight 2.

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 brings a nicely balanced, lightweight design, and excellent all-around performance to a mouse that especially excels in esports. This wired option is more compact than some, so it’s ideal for those with small or medium hands, while those with larger hands may have to take a claw grip. However, this keeps the weight down to just 53g.

Despite its mass, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 remains full-featured complete with tactile switches, a 26K sensor, and an 8,000Hz polling rate. You’re getting competition-level precision and speed that can make or break you in tournaments. NGenuity software also lets you adjust settings like DPI and create profiles, but unfortunately, you can’t save multiple profiles on the mouse itself.

Roccat is no stranger to premium optical gaming peripherals packed with a strong feature set, so the Roccat Kone Pro is something we have come to expect from the manufacturer. This wired lightweight option boasts Roccat’s super responsive Titan Switch, perfectly executed Titan Wheel Pro Scroll, and Owl-Eye 19K DPI optical sensor that’s so smooth and accurate it feels like it’s painting a masterpiece on your mouse pad.

But, there’s more to love here: that ergonomic supportive shape, the translucent (not holey) honeycomb design, and AIMO RGB lighting that emanates through its smooth-to-touch bionic shell are stand-outs as well. Plus, it’s surprisingly not as expensive as it looks.

The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally Gets Its First Real Discount

That’s an 18% saving on the standard price, which is not to be sniffed at, although it is worth mentioning that this deal is for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, and not the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X - that last letter there is a key differentiator between this model and its even more powerful sibling.

Still, this 2025 handheld is well worth a look because it’s packing an efficient AMD Ryzen Z2 chip for impressive gameplay of full-fat PC games while on the go without needing to be sat near a wall outlet.

There’s 16GB of RAM inside and a 512GB SSD for storage, while the display is a 7-inch 1080p panel that offers up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

Perhaps just as appealing is the option to switch between multiple storefronts with ease, including Xbox’s own UI with Game Pass and Cloud Streaming access.

According to ASUS, the company is working to pump out additional units of its ROG Xbox Ally models,

"We believe that we have achieved our original goals of premium positioning, creating a new growth driver in our gaming segment," the company said.

"That's why we released our third-generation ROG Ally last month. It featured deeper collaboration with Xbox. Since its launch, we see the market response for it has been extremely positive, particularly, there has been an appetite for the premium higher-end models, exceeding our expectations.”

"These high-end variants are currently in short supply. We are working closely with key component suppliers to ramp up production and fill the demand gap that exists. Our goal with the ROG Ally is for it to remain a core pillar within the ASUS gaming portfolio."

The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19, so it's just over 2 months old and you can already get it for over 30% off. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing, but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.

Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that will translate other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro, however, since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4. Initial reports are really positive, including this take from PCMag.

If you happen to be looking for a book to read over New Year’s or want to kick off your 2026 reading with a bang, look no further than Kamilah Cole’s An Arcane Inheritance, which hits shelves on December 30. For fans of R.F. Kuang’s Babel, or all things dark academia, this is definitely one to keep an eye out for.

Combining dark magic with romantasy and mystery, it also leans into the gothic with its atmospheric Ivy League setting. Warren University has always been linked to rumblings and rumours of the occult, yet Ellory is convinced that she is someone who belongs there. But why does the ornate campus feel so eerily familiar to her? And it’s not just because she’s been studying there for several months now, there’s a somewhat sinister edge to the sense of déjà vu that she’s been experiencing.

She just needs a little help from a rather brooding fellow student to help her put things together.

Tailored Realities by Brandon Sanderson

Release date: December 9

We always get excited for any new Brandon Sanderson release, and Tailored Realities sees the beloved author combine a number of stories into one book for the very first time, with some making their print debut, including a brand new novella called Moment Zero.

The ten stories span the worlds of Skyward and the Reckoners, encompassing everything from a space opera to a superhero story and even a futuristic detective tale. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, each story is accompanied by a striking black-and-white illustration, making it a great gift idea for any fan at this time of year. It would also make a great starting point if you’ve been meaning to pick up one of his books for a while now.

Hard Sun by J. B. Turner

Release date: December 16

Jon Reznick is back for his fifteenth outing, and the latest story is just as rousing as ever. Of course, Jon no longer trusts the CIA. I mean, who would when you’ve been through what he’s been through? However, when an operative arrives on his doorstep, he finds himself drawn in once again.

After discovering that a high-value target has been assassinated in what looks to be a professional hit, Jon is soon sent undercover to discover exactly who this sniper assassin is and why he targeted this individual. Expect high-stakes action and plenty of fantastic twists and turns.

Fallen Gods by Rachel Van Dyken

Release date: December 2 (US)/December 4 (UK)

Would it be a monthly book roundup from us without at least one mythological retelling? Probably not. And this Norse-inspired one adds a steamy, enemies-to-lovers twist to the tale of the Gods.

In this world, the Gods aren’t dead; they’re locked in the bodies of mortals, waiting for the right spark to awaken them. And Rey’s father is one of the most ruthless of them all.

After training his daughter her entire life, he sends her off to University to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend – and failure is not an option. However, the enemy’s heir, Aric, stands in her way. He’s also the one person she cannot and should not fall for. But what will happen as they grow closer? We can’t wait to find out.

The Library of Fates by Margot Harrison

Release date: December 2

The Library of Fates isn’t your typical library by any means, as you might be able to tell from the name. And one book in particular, a rare and magical tome which can predict exactly how your life will unfurl, is its prized possession. That is, until the librarian dies in a freak accident and The Book of Dark Nights goes missing. It’s up to two unlikely individuals to bring it back to its rightful place.

Taking them on a quest from one side of the globe to the other, Eleanor has spent most of her life working at the library as an apprentice to the brilliant librarian. His estranged son, Daniel, on the other hand, is only back to secure his inheritance. Even though he and Eleanor have a storied past, where is the book? And who else could be chasing it down?

Evolution: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure by Seth Ring

Release date: December 2

One for the gamers or fans of LitRPG – literary role-playing games – Seth Ring returns with the latest installment in his popular The Exlian Syndrome series. And if you aren’t already familiar with the saga, it’s worth noting that the first three books are available to read on Kindle Unlimited, both in the UK and the US, to get you caught up.

With lots of action and adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat, Evolution: A Fantasy picks up with Mark having just escaped the deadly underground prison, The Tomb.

And in doing so, he’s had to sacrifice his former life and identity. His only focus and goal is to track down the Exlian aliens, which is why joining the Hunters' Association not only seems like a good idea but the only path forward. Even though his power seems to be growing with every hunt, each one takes him further away from the life he once knew and into the unknown. Can he use this power to save the people he’s closest to? Or will an evil plot catch up to him? You’ll have to pick up a copy to find out.

Television: A Novel by Lauren Rothery

Release date: December 2

As soon as we saw this debut novel being compared to Bojack Horseman meets Joan Didion, we were immediately intrigued. We also have a feeling that if you’ve been binge-watching Apple TV’s The Studio, this story will be right up your street.

Told from the three alternating, yet interconnected, perspectives of an aging A-list movie star, his non-famous companion, and an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker, it takes a satirical look at the world of Hollywood. And at just shy of 200 pages, this is one you can read in a weekend, which is ideal for those of us who are still a few books away from completing our 2025 Goodreads Reading Challenge.

The Dark is Descending by Chloe C. Peñaranda

Release date: December 2

If you’ve been counting down the days until the third and final book in the Nytefall trilogy is released, it’s finally here. And what a conclusion it is. From gripping battles and shifting alliances to an all-encompassing darkness, the Star Maiden Astraea finds herself going up against a number of enemies who were once her allies, all in a bid to free Nyte from the curse that imprisons him.

If you’re after a star-crossed lovers kind of romantasy, with dragons, gods, and a seriously absorbing story, this is the one for you.

We also can’t get enough of the beautiful Deluxe Edition hardcover either. It’s safe to say that it might have just made its way to the top of our Christmas list.

Before I Forget: A Novel by Tory Henwood Hoen

Release date: December 2

Cricket’s father is living with Alzheimer's, and when her sister reaches out to let her know that the disease is progressing to the point where he will likely need to be moved into a full-time memory-care facility, this might just be the change that she needs to get out of the rut that she’s currently in. Could returning to her family home to care for him begin to repair their strained relationship and give her a new purpose?

While his memories of the past are quickly fading away, she soon realises that he seems to be able to predict the future. But what does this mean for Cricket and her life going forward? As is often the case, in order for her to move forward, she will have to look back. A deeply moving yet humorous story of family, with a coming-of-age angle, we expect this to appear on many a best books of 2026 list next year.

The Mating Game by Lana Ferguson

Release date: December 2

Lana Ferguson always has an interesting take or spin on the romance genre, as you will know if you’ve ever stumbled across her Loch Ness Monster romance, Under Loch & Key. And her latest release fully leans into the omegaverse. So, if you enjoyed our October recommendation, Mate by Ali Hazelwood, you might want to add this to your TBR list.

Imagine you’ve lived your entire life as a regular non-shifting human, only to find out that what you thought was the flu is actually your body telling you that you’re actually a late-presenting Omega Wolf shifter.

Well, that’s exactly what happens to Tess. And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time. As a renovator with her very own TV show showcasing her work, she and her family’s financial futures are also on the line. With the impending risk of going into heat, she’ll have to follow the doctor’s advice to keep away from any Alpha shifters.

That’s easier said than done when she arrives at Alpha Wolf Hunter’s crumbling lodge to refurbish it. It’s safe to say, things turn on their head pretty quickly.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super, which was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The RTX 5070 also features DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the performance gap widens in games that support it, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur, Borderlands 4, Battlefield 6, and more. The PNY model has a triple-fan cooling system, which is probably overkill because the RTX 5070 doesn't run that hot.
