Best Love Island themed merchandise and gifts to buy in 2023

The other half of the team will naturally be spending their evenings watching something else. Losers.

We exaggerate, of course. But the reality dating show, now embarking on its tenth season, has become somewhat of a cult phenomenon with its guaranteed drama, funny catchphrases ('mugged off', 'factor 50', 'got the ick', and 'it is what it is'), and the ready-made influencers it produces.

The 2023 winter season of Love Island welcomed a new host: Maya Jama stepped into the footsteps of previous host Laura Whitmore. While the winter season saw the contestants jet off to South Africa for a holiday romance, the 2023 summer season is back in sunny Mallorca.

Alongside an undeniably popular show like Love Island comes the viewers — people like us — who want to know what the contestants are wearing, how they style their hair, and how to pick up this year’s Love Island merchandise.

The hit ITV show has garnered some pretty iconic merch over the past few years; we’re talking about personalised water bottles, suitcases, make-up bags, phone cases, and 'I’ve got a text' t-shirts.

Last year, Love Island took a new direction and teamed-up with eBay for pre-loved fashion and Boots for glowy make-up looks - and it looks like the show has been released from the clutches of fast fashion for another year, as Boots and eBay return as the Love Island 2023 sponsors.

If you want to know how to get your hands on the latest Love Island-themed merch, don’t worry about trawling through sites trying to find it yourself — we've kindly done the hard graft for you.

Don't worry if you're not jetting off to Mallorca this summer, the UK has plenty of fun things to do such as the best London art exhibitions, best West End shows, and best candlelight concerts.

Best Love Island merchandise 2023

Personalised passport cover

Whether you’re heading to a private villa in Mallorca like our Love Island stars or travelling abroad to another exciting location, protect your passport with this faux leather cover. Simply select a colour (either white, black or pink) and write your initials or name in either white, black, rose gold, gold or silver, and then it’ll be printed on the front in the iconic font.

This particular item would make a brilliant gift if you've already found your type on paper and you're planning a hen do abroad.

Official Love Island Washbag

If your make-up stash is messier than the drama which ensues after the contestants come back from Casa Amor, then you need the Official Love Island Washbag. Fresh from the ITV Shop is this clear bag with a white zip and handle; you can see where all your make-up bits and bobs are hiding, and you can customise the washbag with your name in either pink, orange or blue letters.

Re-usable cups

These re-usable cups give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'mugged off'.

If, like Curtis Pritchard from the fifth season of Love Island, you want to be the person to make everyone coffee in the morning, you’ll need something to pour the hot liquid in. And what could be a better option than a re-usable cup in either bright pink, sky blue or aqua? With series now opting for a more sustainable approach (it was second-hand glitzy dresses galore last summer!), it's about time you did, too.

Best immersive experiences such as the BBC Earth Experience and Frameless exhibitions will transport you to another location — who needs a villa, anyway?

Official Love Island Greeting Cards

One of the best things to come out of Love Island are phrases such as 'you're my type on paper' and 'can I pull you for a chat?, and 'spill the tea'. We hate ourselves for slipping them into our everyday vocabulary, but hey, it is what it is.

What better way to show your other half that all your eggs are in their basket than with an official Love Island card? This pack contains five, all with different covers.

Ekin Su greeting card

We’ve used some of contestant Molly-Mae Hague’s 24 hours in a day to bring you the very best Love Island-inspired merchandise, like even more greetings cards. Let your other half know that if you were stood around a hypothetical firepit and had to choose someone to couple up with, it’d be them, with an Ekin Su-inspired card.

Why not include the reasons you'd like to couple up with your partner inside? 'I'd like to couple up with this girl because her dirty washing almost makes it to the wash bin', and 'I'd like to couple up with this boy because the messy kitchen after cooking an experimental meal is nice to come home to, actually'.

Official Love Island Insulated Water Bottle

This sexy single is making its way straight from the villa to your home. No, we’re not talking about a contestant — it’s the Official Love Island Water Bottle. Perhaps the most talked-about item from the ITV series is the personalised bottles the islanders carry with them. Now, you can get one of your very own.

Plus, in true Love Island fashion, you can personalise your bottle with pink, blue or orange lettering, and there's even a shimmering gold version on the ITV Shop.

Customised wash bag

We’ve got a text! It’s saying you should treat yourself or a Love Island fan to a personalised washbag. This multi-purpose washbag is a great gift for a special someone in your life. It's plenty big enough to fit in all the toiletry essentials, like a toothbrush and toothpaste, razor, lip balm, nail clippers, and the rest of the bathroom cabinet (almost).

Flymax suitcase

It's always a shame when your favourite islander has to exit the Love Island villa. But doesn't the suitcase they walk out with look fantastic? We've scoured the internet for something similar, and found this spacious one from Amazon. The suitcase is plain and comes in a range of colours, like blue and purple, just in case the name on the front was a little too Love Island for you...

However, if personalisation is your bag, you can add your name with the stickers we've found below.

Personalised name stickers

These personalised stickers will be the cherry on top if you’re planning on throwing a Love Island-themed party this summer. They come in a whole host of colours, and you can add them to anything your heart desires: water bottles, mugs, prosecco flutes. You name it, it can be Love Island-ified.

Official Love Island Cabin Suitcase

If applying a sticker to a suitcase is a bit too arts-and-crafts for you, this Official Love Island Cabin Suitcase comes ready made.

This cabin-sized suitcase gives you that holiday feeling while you're still in the airport, and although you might not be jetting off to Mallorca for a summer of love and to hang out with Maya Jama, at least you're on holiday!
