1. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Remote Controlled Car
With working front lights, pepper rubber tyres, and a little sonic chilling out in the driving seat, this Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Remote Controlled Car is the perfect Sonic the Hedgehog gift for fans young and old.
Heck, I can imagine keeping my dog occupied for hours chasing Sonic around the kitchen!
Tails built the Speed Star car so that Sonic could race fairly with other people. He’d outrun a Ferrari with ease, after all.
With a comfortable remote control boasting 4 radio channels and requiring 6x AA batteries to run, it’s easy to set up and use, ready to drive on all your adventures!
2. Sonic Shoe Sock Sneakers
I’m going to say this a lot through this article, but sadly these Sonic Shoe Sock Sneakers don’t make you as fast as Sonic.
They are really neat Sonic the Hedgehog gifts for kids that like to do sports both indoors and outdoors. These simple slip-on sock sneakers are comfortable and breathable, perfect for running to your hearts content.
Plus, Sonic never goes out of fashion, so these shoes will probably wear out before your love for Sonic does!
3. Sonic The Hedgehog Tiger Electronics Handheld
I can remember having the nest item on our best Sonic the Hedgehog gifts list as a kid! The Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Tiger Handheld is a small slice of nostalgia alright, make no mistake!
Before Retro Dodo even thought about reviewing the best retro handhelds, Tiger were making cool handheld consoles based on our favourite games.
They weren’t as in-depth as games you might play on the Switch or Steam Deck by any stretch of the imagination, but they were fun nonetheless.
Play through 6 stages alongside Sonic’s friends and allies as you try to stop Robotnik from causing mayhem.
4. SEGA Kids’ Sonic The Hedgehog Costume Hoodie
How much did you want to be Sonic as a child? That guy is 100% one of the coolest video game characters ever, and now he’s the star of some impressive movies too!
If you know someone small enough to fit into this SEGA Kids’ Sonic The Hedgehog Costume Hoodie, then all their Sonic dreams are about to come true!
Made from 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester, it’s one of the easiest items in our Sonic the Hedgehog gifts list to wash if Sonic happens to speed through any mud on his travels.
Complete with see-through mesh depicting Sonic’s eyes and hair on the back of the hood, this hoody would make a great fancy dress costume too!
5. Sonic The Hedgehog Smartwatch
Who needs an Apple Watch when the Sonic The Hedgehog Interactive Smart Watch exists!
A touchscreen smartwatch that can take selfies, record notes, and has Sonic on it.
Do I need to go on?
I should probably mention some of the other apps available, like the pedometer. Just how fast is Sonic the Hedgehog, and would he register his steps with this watch?
Play games, change watch faces, and relax back knowing you have a full 1-year warranty should you run into any problems.
Not literally run… you know what I mean!
6. Sonic The Hedgehog Wrap Around Towel
If you’ve got a little sonic fan in your life, then this Sonic The Hedgehog Wrap Around Towel could well be one of the most practical and cool Sonic the Hedgehog gifts they’ve ever received.
Stick on the Sonic-head hood before wrapping the towel around you. Dry off quicker than Sonic on a spin-cycle (get it… never mind).
The towel has three of Sega’s poster boys; Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
If that isn’t drying in style, then I don’t know what is!
7. HORI Nintendo Switch Wireless Sonic Pro Controller
I never game without a Pro Controller, and this HORI Nintendo Switch Wireless Sonic Pro Controller is an officially licensed Switch product that makes gaming a breeze.
I don’t think it will make you collect rings any faster, but it certainly looks the part.
With up to 32-feet range and 15 hours of gaming off a single charge, this Pro Controller looks, feels, and plays brilliantly.
With full accelerometer and gyroscopic controls, players can tackle Shrines on Zelda and corners on Mario Kart without any glitches.
Charge it up with a USB-C cable, and game with the might of the fastest creature in the world literally in the palms of your hands.
8. Sonic The Hedgehog Hat
This Sonic The Hedgehog Hat might not make you run like Sonic, but it will keep your ears warm.
To be fair, Sonic’s ears must get pretty nippy running into the wind like that all the time too. Maybe he could do with one!
Complete with little triangular ears on the top, this hat is a sure fire way of showing your love for Sonic to the masses.
Oh yeah, and it has Sonic’s hair on the back too! Head to the link above to check it our and grab one for your chilly noggin!
9. Giant Eggman Robot Battle Set With Catapult
If there’s one item on our list of the best Sonic the Hedgehog gifts that someone didn’t know they needed, it’s this Sonic The Hedgehog Giant Eggman Robot Battle Set with Catapult
You can’t take your eyes off it, can you? It’s a great present for a Sonic fan of any age, though I reckon 32 is the peak age (if anyone wants to buy me this, that is…).
Dr Eggman has made some type of MegaZord of himself, and Sonic must use his spin attack to take him down.
Fire the Blue Blur into Eggman’s chest piece three times and BAM, the robot falls apart.
Then, you have to put it all back together again.
You, Sonic, and Eggman with no need for any other players… standard for the ‘only childs’ out there, am I right?
10. Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Sonic
Imagine Stretch Armstrong mixed with Sonic. That’s Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Sonic in a nutshell!
Pull and stretch Sonic up to 3x his normal size and watch as he reverts back to normal again.
A nice stress toy and a neat little Sonic collectible with a difference.
11. TUBBZ Sonic The Hedgehog Dr Eggman Collectible Duck
The most cunning duck in the world, now in your bathtub. This TUBBZ Sonic The Hedgehog Dr Eggman Collectible Duck is perfect for chilling out in the tub with…
Especially once you know that Tails, Knuckles, Sonic, and Super Sonic all appear in the range too!
Shipping in a bathtub display stand, TUBBZ Ducks can be left sealed as a collectors item or put out on display in your nerd den.
How many could you fit around the edge of your bath?
12. Sonic The Hedgehog Blu-Ray
James Marsden and Jim Carrey are fantastic in the new Sonic Movie, and thanks to this Sonic The Hedgehog Blu-Ray, you can watch it again and again whenever you want!
It was nice seeing Sonic on the big screen. Sure, it’s a little silly in places, but it sure beats a lot of the drivel Marvel are pushing out at the minute.
And Carrey as Robotnik… man, that guy makes everything he touches liquid gold. He’s the perfect actor for the role!
13. The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog
From the new movie to the the Sonic TV series, experience The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog on blu-ray all over again!
Watch Sonic and friends foil Robotnik’s plans in 65 epic episodes.
Should that have been ‘epicsodes’?
Get a load of a special Sonic Christmas Episode too as well as commercials and commentary from Milton Knight, Sonic’s storyboard artist!
14. Sonic The Hedgehog Cable Guy
I know this entry in our best Sonic the Hedgehog gifts looks like Sonic is begging, but this Sonic The Hedgehog Cable Guy is actually waiting to hold a controller.
Yep; just place your controller or phone into Sonic’s waiting hands, and he’ll keep it safe for you until you need it next.
These little figurines are the perfect way to hold your items when not in use, showing off your favourite characters while keeping controllers off your table and stored neatly away.
I wonder if we could cook a charger up to Sonic so he could power them up while running?
15. Sonic Pendant
The final entry on our list of the best Sonic the Hedgehog gifts is this nifty little Sonic Pendant.
If you like to keep your nerdyness close to your chest, then this gift is probably the one for you.
Keep Sonic with you wherever you go, tucked behind your tie or tee unbeknownst to your colleague or friends.
Or, wear it over your blouse or blazer with pride. The choice is yours!
16. Neon Sonic Light
Get Sonic to protect you from the dark with this swish Neon Sonic Light.
This is a classic Sonic at his best. The detail in the light is incredible, and that blue glow is the perfect hue to give any bedroom or games room a soft glow at night.
The sign itself is safe to touch and won’t shatter into loads of pieces if broken. Mount it to a wall with the included attachments and choose how bright you want Sonic to shine by adjusting the dimmer.
At 10 inches by 10.5 inches, it’s won’t look like a massive eyesore either if your partner or housemate isn’t as keen on Sonic as you!
17. Sonic Christmas Jumper
This unisex knitted Sonic Christmas Jumper is undoubtedly ugly as heck, but that’s where the charm lies. It’s like brass band made of yarn and will announce your entrance in a room like a sonic boom.
Featuring Knuckles, Amy, Sonic and Tails, all wearing little Christmas hats, this jumper is the perfect way to celebrate a year of thwarting Robotnik at every turn.
Rings, snowflakes, and little golden Robotic baubles finish off this retro menagerie brilliantly too along with that trademark shade of Sonic blue!
18. Sonic The Hedgehog Top Trumps
You can’t go wrong with a set of Top Trumps cards, and any Sonic fan would be glad to pull these Sonic The Hedgehog Top Trumps out of their stocking.
This card game is jam-packed with Sonic facts and and stats for all of his friends and enemies.
Just how strong is Knuckles, and how fast is Tails compared to Sonic?
Learn all about the famous faces that make this franchise so exciting, all while owning your friends in a card game that’s factual and fun.
I should work for the Top Trumps marketing board with a description like that!
Seb Santabarbara has bought every Nintendo console that has ever been released in his 33 years on Planet Earth. His favourite game franchise is Zelda, and he’s patiently waiting for Banjo-Kazooie to come back to the fold. When he’s not playing games, he’s travelling the world in his self-converted camper van.
