NYLON’s Holiday Gift Guide 2018: The Disney Fan

“AhSalaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Please, please, come closer” — if you think your loved one would recognise those opening lines from Disney’s Aladdin, then you really do need to come closer and take a look at our magical Disney wares. Be our guest!

It helps that this year’s Mickey’s 90th birthday as well, so boy oh boy have the brands gone all out to celebrate! If your friend’s still dreaming of a true love’s kiss, tell them to let it go — you’ll fulfil that wish upon a star instead with something more practical, yet just as dreamy. Go on, get down to business already!
