Why Labubu Monsters from POPMART Might Be the Perfect Early Christmas Gift
Christmas always sneaks up on us – even if you’ve been counting the days until…all year. One minute it's Easter, the next minute you're in a mad panic on December 22nd, elbow-deep in a pile of shopping bags, wondering why you didn’t get your act together sooner. Is this you? Yes, it’s all of us! So, you're not alone. But here's a nifty little idea that might just solve your Christmas gift dilemmas before the silly season kicks in – Labubu Monsters from POPMART. And we’ve got Labubu blind boxes right here at Tastebuds!
These quirky, collectible little creatures have been gaining a cult following around the world — and it’s real even if you don’t quite understand. If you're after something a bit different, a bit cheeky, and a lot fun, Labubu Monsters are a brilliant pick. Plus, if you grab them now, you can kick back with a cold one in December, smug in the knowledge that your Christmas shopping is well and truly sorted. Just make sure it’s something your recipients will like.
They’re Entirely Too Adorable
We’re going to start with the most obvious – and most cited reason to get a Labubu. Labubu Monsters are just plain cool. Designed by the imaginative team at POPMART and artist Kasing Lung, these little mischief-makers are equal parts cute and spooky — kind of like if a gremlin, a possum, and a fantasy creature had a tea party.
With their pointy ears, cheeky grins, and loads of personality, they’ve got a special charm that appeals to kids, collectors, and quirky adults, all at the same time. Also, every series has a fresh theme — from Labubu in Halloween costumes to space explorers, underwater adventurers, decked out in retro vibes, or even Labubu in a noodle cup. No two figures are quite the same, which makes opening a blind box feel like a mini-surprise every time.
They Come in Blind Boxes — Always Exciting
Remember when you were a kid and you'd get all giddy over a Kinder Surprise? That same excitement is baked into every POPMART Labubu box. Because they come in blind boxes, you don’t know which one you’re getting — and that’s half the fun!
It turns gift-giving into a surprise for both the giver and the receiver. If you're buying for someone who already collects POPMART figures or other collectibles, they’ll be over the moon. If they're new to it, you’ve just introduced them to a whole new obsession. Win-win? Perhaps?
They Suit (Pretty Much) Everyone
One of the best things about Labubu is that there's no strict age range. Sure, they’re toys — but not in the children’s toy sense. These are designer art toys. They’ve got serious cool factor and are perfect for teenagers, young adults, the artistically inclined, and anyone who loves something a little offbeat.
Got a niece who’s into anime and art? Labubu. A mate who’s always decking out their desk with funky gear? Labubu. A sibling who’s impossible to shop for? Still Labubu.
Doesn’t matter if they’re already collectors or just appreciate something stylish and different, there’s a Labubu for everyone.
They’re Small Enough to Post — Post one with Tastebuds!
If you’ve got family interstate or mates you won’t see over the holidays, posting a gift can be a right pain. Enter Labubu Monsters – small, lightweight, and come in their own nifty little box. Wrap one in a bit of cute paper, pop it in a padded envelope, and you’re good to go. Easy as.
Don’t have time for any of that? Just order a Labubu Blind Box from Tastebuds! You can send them as is or in a hamper! Yes, that option exists ONLY at Tastebuds!
They’re also the perfect size for Kris Kringles, stocking stuffers, or a thoughtful add-on to a larger gift.
Buying Early = No Frenzied Summer Shopping in December Heat
Look, we’ve all said, “Next year I’ll start shopping early.” But then November rolls around, and suddenly there are end-of-year work dos, school concerts, and that awkward panic when you realise everyone else has already started their shopping.
By grabbing a few Labubu Monsters now, you can officially check “Christmas gifts” off the to-do list. That’s one less thing to stress about, and it frees you up to actually enjoy December — get down with some backyard BBQs, beach days, and those ice-cold beers after knocking off for the holidays.
They're Collectible (And Some Become Super Rare)
It’s like winning the lottery…but, some Labubu figures become super sought after. Every series usually has a “secret” or rare figure that only appears in a small percentage of boxes. If the person you’re buying for scores one of these, they’ll be chuffed.
Collectors love hunting down the whole set, so gifting even one or two can be the beginning of an exciting hobby (or madness). Plus, the resale value of some POPMART figures has been on the climb — so you might just be handing over a future collector’s gem.
They’re a Bit of Fun in a World That’s Way Too Serious
You know it — life gets hectic. Bills, work, news headlines… Gosh those news headlines… sometimes you just need a little injection of fun. Labubu brings back a sense of play, imagination, and creativity, which is exactly what makes them such a brilliant gift.
It’s not just about having a little monster on a shelf. It’s about sparking joy, adding a pop of colour to your space, and maybe even sharing a laugh or a smile every time you look at their cheeky faces.
Where to Buy Them?
You can find Labubu Monsters at official POPMART stores online, at Aussie stockists like EB Games, or on collector toy websites and marketplaces. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller, especially if you’re after authentic pieces (there are fakes out there — sneaky buggers!). Don’t want to go through all the trouble? Buy Labubu Blind Boxes right here at Tastebuds!
What Are You Waiting For?
Look, Christmas in Australia is already a blast — sun’s out, prawns on the barbie, and everyone in a good mood. But you can make your holiday even better by not stressing over gifts in December. Grab a few Labubu Monsters now, stash them in a drawer, and come Christmas, you’ll be everyone’s favourite Santa.
Plus, they’re just so darn cool. Seriously.
Get ahead of the chaos. Grab a few Labubu Monster Gifts from Tastebuds now, and enjoy a stress-free, jolly-as summer Christmas. Your future self will thank you.
