Final Season Of Stranger Things Merch At Target

The last season of Stranger Things FINALLY starts next month on Netflix. November 26th to be exact. And all the episodes aren't going to be released at once. We get some in November, some in December, and the last 2 in January. 

I think it's been, what, three years since the last episode aired? I can't even remember. I should probably re-watch because I forget what happened. No wait, I remember Vecna and that dang song that played everywhere after that episode aired. 

But no matter because the show is returning! And to celebrate, Target has released new merch. 

You could even travel to the Upside Down! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, well, watch the show in Netflix. But this was a cool piece:

For a quick explanation, I'll just say the show is about weird things happening in a town called Hawkins. It's set in the 80s, and that's when I was born, so it's neat being reminded how things were before cell phones and computers. (Peaceful.)

I'm a sucker for sugary cereal with marshmallows, so I had to get this. My kids grew up with sugary cereal, I won't even lie. This is incredibly sweet, but I liked it! Plus the box is cool. 

There was clothes too. I imagine the older kids will be working at a radio station, thus the style of the sweatshirt. 

One of the kids in the show, Eleven, is obsessed with waffles so this made me laugh:

Again, I am sure we'll figure out what this means in the new season. But there were different styles of keychains. This one was my fave:

I think Gatorade is going to be featured. They had special Strange Things flavors and I saw this water bottle that belongs to Eleven, apparently:

There were multiple styles of bluetooth speakers and power banks. Since the radio station is called "The Squawk" I'm assuming that's where the above rubber chicken comes in:

And yes, there are also Stranger Things snacks! I also saw a Froot By The Froot box:

This would be a fun set as a gift for the holidays. If you're like, "Is that some weird flower?" no, it's a demogorgon. It's a creature that can kill. 

They had a neat phone case in the style of a walkie talkie. A lot of the parts moved and my daughter likes to fidget, so I did get it for her. Plus I wanted to play with it. The antennae comes in and out, you can twist the knobs, and you can slide the channel switch. 

And finally, there was this cute demogorgon. You push his stomach and his face expands and he makes his scary noise. Only he's too adorable to be frightened. He was $25 though so I did not get him. 

Now, there was even more things. Like candles, Stranger Things themed paper plates, napkins, cups, more stuffies, Funko Pops...but these were my faves. 

I know I'll miss the show when it's over. I love that Winona Ryder is in it. I love the messaging of banding together to get rid of evil--kinda like what is going on with the world right now. The music is always spectacular since it's set in the 80s. 

The only depressing thing is I know many favorite characters are going to die and yes, even though they are fictional, I will probably cry. 

Plus, my daughter has been watching since she was a little girl, and to know she looked like this when it first started is like, ack! How time flies. 

Have you ever seen Stranger Things?
