If you're not already preparing birthday or holiday gift ideas for Disney fans, then it might be time to get into gear, as Black Friday is on the way and it'll be the perfect opportunity to pick up presents.
Black Friday falls on Friday, November 24 this year, but that's not the only time to look for Disney deals; retailers often kick off their sales a week or more before the day itself, and they'll continue through Cyber Monday on Monday, November 27.
Over the sales season, you'll find all kinds of Black Friday Disney deals; toys, clothes, books and DVDs, games, accessories and more will all be reduced. This makes it the perfect time to hunt for holiday gifts, so you can save money before Christmas or any birthdays (or just pick up an end-of-year treat for yourself!).
To create this holiday gift guide we've picked a selection of items across different franchises and at different price points, to give you some inspiration. We'll also include links out to the best stores to check out if you want to search for yourself.

Disney gift guide top tips
When is the best time to buy a Disney gift?
For some limited-edition gifts, buying them as soon as you find them is worthwhile. But otherwise you could do well to wait until the deals begin.
Black Friday on Friday, November 24 will bring loads of discounts on various gifts and items, though many retailers kick off their discounts a week or two prior. They'll likely run until Cyber Monday on Monday, November 27.
There will also likely be discounts shortly afterward, as Christmas deals and savings pick up promptly. They generally run until the new year, though aren't always as good as the Black Friday ones.
Can I buy Disney Plus as a gift for someone?
You can give Disney Plus membership as a gift, but it's a little limited.
Disney sells membership cards which you can find here, that let you buy a year's subscription for Disney Plus and send it to someone else in a digital form. That costs $109 / £79.
Want to buy a few months' membership? Or a plan for the Disney Bundle that includes ESPN Plus and Hulu? Sorry, but you're out of luck!
