SNES
Welcome.
If you’re looking for gifts for a certain type of person, you’ve come to the right place. The person who had a grey controller in hand from a young age. The person who learned to read approximately at the same time as they learned the Konami code. The person who still speaks about select Saturday mornings with a hushed respect that makes you question what you were doing at that age. That person may be you. They may be your husband. They may be your mum. Either way they are here.
Nintendo’s Super Nintendo Entertainment System occupies a space in our childhoods that few other things can match. It was more than a console. It was the device that taught us games could be sentimental, breathtaking, valuable. Super Metroid taught us about exploration and agency, Chrono Trigger about storytelling and choice, A Link to the Past about completion and Yoshi’s Island about parenting. Games we remember decades later. That’s why a gift with even the slightest connection to this magical period hits different.
When you find something truly inspired by the SNES you can feel it. That’s why we don’t carry any junk with the SNES logo plastered on it just because. Cheap stuff like that is everywhere, we want you to know the difference. Here you will find items put together by people who had Super Mario Bros. posters on their walls, who appreciate why anyone would care about the Explosion cocktail and who know the exact saturation of purple you need. Someone who loves the SNES knows the SNES and if you love the SNES you will see the difference between a tasteful print and a cheap coffee mug instantly.
Whether it’s for the friend who’s having a big 40th birthday party and needs something to remind them that some things do actually get better with age, or the family member who stored their cartridges in a biscuit tin growing up, or that special someone who will notice a reference you didn’t even know existed. SnES fans love specific. Love quietly. And because of that, getting this right matters.
We could fill this place with hundreds of items but we haven’t. Only things we ourselves would give as gifts. Things that do something special the others don’t. That’s our benchmark.
