A Few Disney Gift Ideas for You

Over the years the Walt Disney company has created an endless variety of merchandise. Some of that merchandise was meant to be collected and displayed but there was also a lot of merchandise that was meant to be used every day like coffee mugs, board games, bedding and clothing. Therefore, finding those pieces in good condition can be challenging since they were often used and then discarded.

Whether you are shopping for new Disney merchandise or for used and vintage pieces, you will find some interesting items in my eBay store. I have chosen to highlight three great gift ideas that I have had the privilege of selling in the past: a trinket box, a limited edition snowglobe and a Disney-version of the popular vintage game, Mastermind. Read on to learn more about those items and to find other interesting gift ideas. Follow this link to see all of the Disney treasures I currently have in my eBay store.

Disney Shopping Hint #1

In 1929, the Walt Disney Company adopted the name Walt Disney Productions, which it used until 1986. Therefore, when you are shopping for vintage Disney memorabilia, an older piece will read "Walt Disney Productions" and will not be made in China.

Walt Disney Productions Character Mastermind Game

This is the Disney version of the original Mastermind game, which is called Walt Disney Character Mastermind. Recommended for ages 4 through 10, this vintage 1979 game challenges you to "Help Mickey and his friends escape from the magic castle in the sky." It is a simple game of cunning and logic. If you loved the original Master Mind and you are a Disney fan, you might want to own Walt Disney's version of this popular game. Find Disney's Mastermind here on eBay.

Walt Disney Productions Brave Little Tailor Mickey Mouse Trinket Box

This Brave Little Tailor Mickey Mouse musical trinket box is a highly unusual item from Walt Disney Productions. It is as cute as can be but is very hard to find on eBay.  However, I found a few other musical trinket boxes on eBay, which you can see by clicking right here.

Disney Limited Edition Snow Globes

Of course, ever since Disney switched away from using the name Walt Disney Productions there has been a host of new collectibles and toys produced. The limited edition snow globe shown here is but one example. Called the Disney Musical Birthday Water Globe, it was a joint production by Disney and Hallmark to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney. You can see all of the limited edition Disney snow globes on eBay by clicking right here.

Disney Shopping Hint #2

It is simple and it is obvious once you think about it. Buy your Disney souvenirs before or even after your visit to Disney. This is an option that more and more people are taking. A good friend buys matching Disney t-shirts for her three girls before they go on vacation.  The girls love wearing their new shirts on their vacation and the parents save some money at the same time. An added bonus? The girls are easier to spot in a crowd if they are all wearing matching t-shirts.

In my eBay store I sell new, used and vintage Disney items.  I have highlighted a few of my favorite finds here on this page but you can see all of the items, new, used and vintage, that I have in my eBay store by clicking right here. 

See you
at the movies!
