The Perfect Gifts for Fans of the Mario Franchise
Between the opening of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood and the premiere of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this spring brings an exciting time for video game lovers.
Already, both the movie and amusement park have raked in over a billion dollars for Nintendo, and as a result, we're seeing a lot of exciting, new Mario-themed products. If you or someone in your life are trying to show your passion for the Mario franchise beyond the games, we've gathered eight fun gift ideas for all ages to enjoy.
Paladone Super Mario Light: $5
Is this lamp not the cutest thing you've ever seen? It's compact, available in multiple characters—Shy Guy, King Boo, the fire flower and the super mushroom—and the best part of all: it's only five bucks!

Lush Question Block Bath Bomb: $18
You probably went through a Lush bath bomb phase at some point in your life, if you're anything like us.
Lush reignited our obsession after they released their collaboration with Nintendo for the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie., which included a question block-inspired bath bomb. Once you dunk this shimmering bath bomb into water, you'll be presented with a surprise soap of either an ice flower, fire flower, mini mushroom, coin, big mushroom or the lucky star!

The Unofficial Super Mario Cookbook: $29.99
Cartoon food always looks better, and after seeing the Mario characters consume mushrooms over all these years, you have to be at least a little bit curious to know what they taste like.

Build-A-Bear Workshop Yoshi: $30
Was anyone else really disappointed that Yoshi wasn't a major player in The Super Mario Bros. Movie? We don't want to spoil anything, but fortunately for us, the creators of the film have a sequel in the works that will hopefully bring justice to the character we missed in the first movie.
Until then, you can tide yourself over with a Yoshi plush from Build-A-Bear, and don't forget to dress him up with all the Mario-themed merchandise available on the website.
