Best May the 4th themed gifts to help you celebrate Star Wars™ Day
May the 4th be with you – (it will be very soon!)
For some people, the most important day of the year is their birthday; others prefer Christmas, Halloween or even St Patrick's Day. Others still save their excitement to celebrate Star Wars™ Day, otherwise known as May the 4th.
Of course, hardcore Star Wars™ fans don't just take one day a year to celebrate the franchise; but, setting aside a time to celebrate with other fans is a great way to bond as a fandom and as a community.
How exactly do Star Wars™ fans celebrate this special day? Some may decide to re-watch some of their favourite films or TV shows from the Star Wars™ franchise, others may dress up and attend Star Wars™-themed events like trivia nights or cosplay meet-ups.
May the 4th is also a great time to treat your loved ones (or even yourself!) to some Star Wars™-themed merchandise, as plenty of brands use this time to release special Star Wars™-themed products.
However, one brand who offers Star Wars™-themed products all year round is LEGO®, with everything from the Millennium Falcon to Starfighter display pieces.
We've rounded up the best Star Wars™-themed gifts for May the 4th, from impressive LEGO sets to commemorative personalised books. May the 4th be with you!
Why is May the 4th Star Wars™ Day?
The answer is simple. May the 4th is globally recognised as Star Wars™ day thanks to its similarities to the iconic Star Wars™ phrase "May the force be with you", or, "May the 4th be with you".
