For Snuggling and Cuddling: Animal Crossing Plush Doll Tom Nook/Tanukichi Aloha Shirt

While Tom Nook may not be everyone’s favorite Animal Crossing character, he’s definitely well-liked, and he’s probably the most recognizable character from the game. He’s appeared in every version of the Animal Crossing game, usually as the village store owner (residential services in the newest Animal Crossing game).

This Tom Nook plush is a little over six inches tall and looks absolutely adorable in his New Leaf-patterned pajamas. Tom has been visualized differently in various Animal Crossing games, but this is how he looks in the newest version, New Horizons.

He’s super squishy and fun to hug and cuddle.

It also comes with an included 40-watt bulb.

For When the Real World Gets Chilly: Peliny Chrid Micro Fleece Throw Blanket

Pictured here is the 50″ x 40″ Animal Crossing blanket, but there’s also a 60″ x 50″ size available for a few more dollars if you’re buying the gift for someone a little taller than average. The blankets are made of soft, anti-pilling fleece for both supreme warmth and supreme comfort.

They’re 3-D printed using bright, vibrant colors and look absolutely amazing, no matter which of the two designs you choose. Best of all, they feature some of the most popular and well-loved characters from the Animal Crossing franchise.

The first design has more characters; the second design has a better landscape scene.

One bad thing about video game systems is that they often run out of storage space just like computers or cell phones. Despite its tiny size, this microSD card will give him plenty of space for Animal Crossing and all his other favorites.
