Running out of time does not have to mean settling for generic presents. With shelves already stocked and gift-ready options available, Disney Store by SM offers easy, crowd-pleasing finds for shoppers looking to tick names off their holiday list at the last minute.

For a meaningful yet effortless pick, the Mickey Mouse in The Philippines collection stands out. Featuring Mickey in familiar local settings, the line includes apparel for adults and kids, plush toys, a tote bag, a magnet, and a mug. These items feel personal without requiring customisation, making them ideal for quick gifting with a local touch.

For kids who love interactive play, Toy Story Interactive Talking Action Figures — Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear — are instant hits. The toys feature iconic phrases and can detect one another, adding an extra layer of engagement straight out of the box.

For little ones drawn to imaginative play, dress-up costumes offer an easy win. Options such as the Moana Story Play Dress and Spider-Man costumes allow children to step into their favourite characters, no batteries or assembly required.

 

For parents or hosts, character-inspired mugs make practical yet charming gifts. Beauty and the Beast–themed designs add a subtle Disney detail to daily coffee or tea routines, suitable for both holiday mornings and everyday use.

 

For siblings, friends, or exchange gifts, classic Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse plush toys remain reliable choices. Soft, familiar, and season-appropriate, they are easy to wrap and suitable beyond the holidays.

For partners who appreciate wearable gifts, Disney apparel offers comfort with character. Pieces like the Minnie Mouse Cardigan Sweater or the Boba Fett Baseball Jersey work well for those who prefer understated, fandom-inspired style.

For busy, always-on-the-go recipients, novelty-meets-function gifts save time and thought. The Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister Water Bottle doubles as a hydration essential and a playful stress reliever, making it a lighthearted yet useful last-minute find.

Disney Store carries toys, plush items, apparel, costumes, homeware, and collectibles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, with gift boxes and bags available for quick wrapping.

A limited-edition Disney Store Christmas sticker sheet is available with a minimum single-receipt purchase of P4,000 this December at Disney Store by SM branches in Mall of Asia, North EDSA, and Dasmariñas.
