Britain’s original quirky gift destination, founded in 2000 — now a pop culture treasure trove for fandom lovers and novelty seekers
Most gifts £20–£50 — good for birthdays, Christmas, and 'just because' surprises
Iwantoneofthose.com began in 2000 as a modest £15,000 venture by three friends in Manchester. Twenty-four years later, it’s a British institution — a go-to for pop culture merchandise, LEGO sets, and quirky gadgets that turn everyday moments into celebrations. The shop’s survival through acquisitions and re-emergence as an independent brand under ZavviGroup is a testament to its resilience, but its real strength lies in a tightly focused gift selection designed for discovery and surprise.
The gift range is a fandom lover’s dream. Premium Funko Pop! figures, limited-edition collectibles from Hot Toys and Royal Selangor, and themed neon lights dominate the £20–£50 range — ideal for birthdays, Christmas, and 'just because' gestures. The shop excels at playful, interest-driven gifts for teenagers, sons, daughters, and close friends, though its boldness means it’s not a safe bet for unknown recipients. For those who know their giftee’s passions — whether Marvel, Harry Potter, or anime — this is a reliable source of keepsakes that feel personal without being intimate.
What you’ll find
A mix of premium collectibles, themed home decor, and quirky gadgets. Think Royal Selangor pewter figurines (£149.99), LEGO Disney sets (£199.99), Star Wars Black Series action figures (£19.99), and Harry Potter Golden Snitch desk lamps (£44.99). The range is broad but shallow: you’ll find one or two standout items per franchise, not deep category dives. Most gifts are presentation-ready, with a focus on visual appeal and personal meaning over practicality.
Best for
Teenagers, sons, daughters, and close friends who love pop culture, gaming, or anime. Birthdays and Christmas dominate the occasion fit, with moderate suitability for graduations, thank-yous, and housewarmings. The shop’s playful tone and bold personality make it a high-reward choice when you know the recipient’s interests — but a risky one for colleagues or distant relatives. For fandom lovers, this is a low-effort way to find something thoughtful; for everyone else, it’s a minefield of niche references.
