Captain America originally appeared in 1941 as a supersoldier. After WWII his popularity took a dive, but Marvel revived him in 1964. Now he has been popular for several generations. We all need heroes to look up to for hope and courage. Captain America is known for his quick reflexes, strength, speed, and agility. He is a master martial artist. In a world of bullies and other real life terrors, Captain America gives us hope of overcoming these fears.
While a gift won’t magically give the receiver superpowers, these Captain America gifts will hopefully bring some confidence and hope to those you give them to.
1. Trip to Islands of Adventure at Universal Florida
Best Captain America gifts
What should I gift my Captain America fan? The best gift will be a trip to Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios, Florida. Here they will have the opportunity to meet Captain America through a character meet and greet. They can also ride the Hulk Coaster and the Amazing adventures of Spiderman. Of course, you can get more than a one day pass. Then they can explore other Universal Parks as well. If they are Harry Potter fans they can explore the wizarding world in two of the Universal Parks.
If a trip seems like a luxury gift right now, you can get a custom superhero portrait made instead. Just upload a photo of your fan to have them drawn as Captain America or another Marvel character.
Another must have gift for Captain America fans are the classic comics themselves. If you take them to Islands of Adventure, you can have them choose some comics from the comic store there. If that isn’t an option just order a few on your own.
2. Gaming Chair

Fans will love a keepsake Captain America ornament. For someone celebrating the holidays with their first tree, choose several so it doesn’t look like the tree in a Charlie Brown Christmas.

Time for their first set of house keys or car keys? Give someone special a shield keychain as a stocking stuffer.
If they live in a cold climate, fans will like a Captain America ugly Christmas sweater. It will keep them warm throughout the season. These have more of a winter theme than a holiday theme, which means they can get more wear out of it than a traditional Christmas sweater.
For kids or adults alike, get a Captain America backpack to suit their style. A new backpack isn’t just for the start of the school year. By the time the holidays rolled around, those backpacks have been thrown around, stepped on, and spilled on so often that they can use a new one.

Shopping for older kids? They might like a Captain America Funko Pop to add to their collection.
When my son was little, we would spend hours on the weekend playing with Hot Wheels cars. A Captain America Hot Wheels car will make a great addition to their car set, and it fits nicely into a Christmas stocking.
