While summer can be a bit of a wasteland when it comes to TV, there’s one serious bright spot on the horizon: the return of Stranger Things on Netflix this July 4th. For anyone who’s ever dreamed of attending Hawkins Middle School, visiting the Upside Down, or have Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) be your babysitter, we’ve rounded up the very best Stranger Things gifts out there.
Best Life's editors have scoured the internet to bring you the best products out there, and we're hoping you'll love them as much as we do. Full disclosure: we may earn a commission for anything you purchase through links on this page, but that doesn't mean you'll pay more for them (we'd never do that to you!).
