I never knew Netflix's shop existed – now I want all this Stranger Things merch

How've I had my head in the sand (or Upside Down) for this long?

It's been quite the week. Not only did I get to watch Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man at the cinema ahead of its release on Netflix next month, the final series of Stranger Things has also returned – which I've saved, but will be watching imminently.

Beyond that, somehow – seriously, how did I not know about this? – a colleague pointed out that there's a Netflix shop with loads of great merch, including nostalgic Stranger Things picks that are just brilliant.

Check out the full Stranger Things Netflix Store here

So whether it's for a personal treat, or you're looking for gifts for a Stranger Things fan, Netflix has really knocked it out the park with its range of options. Some are sold out or will sell out, mind, so you might want to be speedy in your purchases as the show's popularity continues to rise.

Oh and big point of note: use code BFCM35 for 35% off at the checkout stage. That's a tasty discount – but, given this is to do with the best Black Friday sales, keep in mind that it will be over and out by end of Cyber Monday, 1 December...

Stranger Things
Personalised Black Mug

The mug: a classic gift if I ever did see one. You can personalise it, too, with an upside down name – as in literally inverted – for its intended victim (I mean, er, recipient).

Stranger Things
Demagorgon Plush Toy

Erm, when did the Demogorgon become cute? Somehow it works – although you won't be able to get hands on one of these until the new year, FYI.

Stranger Things
Hawkins Tigers Trucker Hat

I love a cap, I really do. Not that it's sunny in the UK right now, it's more like the Upside Down, quite honestly. But I'd still buy one and hope to take it on vacay...

Stranger Things
Wrapping Paper (20 x 30in)

How about that for some nostalgic cool? Very on trend. Anything 80s videogame style is well back in fashion – and clearly Netflix knows it with this pixel wrapping paper.

Stranger Things
Hawkins Christmas Jumper

OMG. Yes, the Christmas jumper that I never knew I needed just landed in Netflix's Stranger Things store. Can I justify it? No. Will I buy it? Sure!

Stranger Things
Max's Jacket Replica

How about this for some true fandom? Max's jacket from the show is like a Shell Suit reincarnate. But much nicer looking and made. And I want one.

Stranger Things
Butcher Billy Scented Candle

I was a little worried what 'Billy' might smell like, but the site tells me that, fortunately, it's 'cinnamon vanilla', so no worries in that regard. Phew.

Stranger Things
Demogarden Short Sleeve Shirt

I really want to buy this shirt – but it's unavailable in many sizes. I've put my name on the waitlist, though. But after Christmas I might fit into the size up...
