If you haven’t realized it yet, we’re big fans of sharks over here. We love telling people how amazing they are and how absolutely vital they are to the future of our planet. If you or someone you know also loves sharks, then you can’t go wrong getting them shark gifts for Christmas, a birthday, or just because.

Whether it’s a shark stuffed animal, shark string lights, or a fanny pack, there are gifts for shark lovers, no matter their style.

Shark Gifts for the Elasmobranchii Lovers in Your Life

Here’s a list of shark-themed gifts from home goods and books to adventure gear— you may even find a few to put on your own list. 

Home goods and decor for shark lovers 

Shark string lights

These adorable shark string lights are the perfect addition to any shark lover’s room. The lights are eco-friendly and just need two AA batteries to light up the 10 warm white LED lights.

For even more fun, gift more than one set to fill an entire room. 

Shark laundry basket

That’s right— even sharks do laundry. This handmade felt laundry basket is perfect for the bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room, and, thanks to its material, can be squeezed into practically any small space.

Personalize its teeth color as white, silver or gold and choose between grey or anthracite felt. 

Shark table lamp

It’s marketed as a kids’ room piece, but let’s face it -– this is perfect for any shark lover’s room. The table lamp features a shark-shaped base made from ceramic in a white glossy finish.

Whether on your desk, side table, or dresser, this lamp is a perfect way to light up the room and subtly share your love of sharks. 

Shark art print

How awesome is this geometric art print? This simple, original, unique print is a great way to add shark love to any room.

Designed, printed, and made in Australia, the print can be shipped worldwide, and if you’re feeling extra generous, you can seal it in a beautiful frame. 

Shark duvet cover

A shark is hungry for a nap in the depths of your house. Send your favorite little minnows off to bed in this duvet cover and pillowcase that makes it look like you’ve been a shark’s daily snack.

Created by Peggy van Neer and Erik van Loo in the Netherlands, this bed set comes in twin size (for the littles) and full/queen (for the adults). 

Pencil sharpener

Do people even still use pencils that need to be sharpened? I don’t know, but I do know you’ll want to once you see this pencil sharpener.

Your little shark friend will use his sharp teeth to give you the sharpest pencil you’ve ever used, all from the comfort of your desk. 

Shark tea infuser

What could make tea time better? A shark tea infuser, duh.

This guy is perfect for afternoon tea, and all you have to do is load the base with loose tea leaves, perch him in a cup, and watch him relax as he makes your tea. 

Sink strainer

This cute strainer turns any sink into an ocean infested with sharks. While you may dread doing the dishes on any other day, this little guy will help make that daily (or let’s be honest- weekly) chore so much more fun. 

Shark ice tray

This shark tail-shaped ice tray adds the perfect shark touch to any drink. And no one said it just has to be for ice, either. Make chocolates or other treats in them, too. 

Shark clothing and accessories 

Fanny pack

Help them showcase their love for sharks in the most fashionable way. Yes, fanny packs are back. This fanny pack opens at the shark’s mouth. Feed it your items, strap it on, and you’re on your way.

Enamel pins like this cute one help the shark lover in your life showcase their love in their everyday life.

Whether it’s on their bag, jacket, or bulletin board at home, these pins are a small way to help them share sharks— and a great stocking stuffer! 

Respect the locals patch

Something shark lovers know well – sharks are the locals in coastal cities and beaches. Gift them this patch to add to their bag or jacket so that they can remind others to respect the locals and ethically support sharks.

Shark leggings like these are the perfect fashion piece and conservation donation. 10% of profits from the Tiger Shark Research collection with Waterlust are donated to the shark research and conservation program at the University of Miami.
