Universal Studios offers an extensive range of souvenirs, so choosing which to buy during a trip can be incredibly difficult.

I’ve spent more than $2,000 on souvenirs from Universal Studios over the years. Some souvenirs have been a fantastic investment, and others, well, not so much.

So, learn from my mistakes and check out what I believe are the best souvenirs from Universal Studios.

You can buy all the souvenirs in this list from both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.

1. Interactive Wand

There are three different types of Harry Potter wands you can buy at Universal Studios:

1. Toy Wand
2. Interactive Wand
3. Collectable Wand

Although the toy and collectable wands are great, the interactive wands are the best and most popular.

The interactive wands are not only a fantastic souvenir but can also be used to cast spells inside the Wizarding World area of the theme park.

Using the map included with the wand, you can visit different ‘spell zones’. Here, the RFID chip inside the wand reacts to an element, creating movements and sounds that make it look as if you’re casting a spell.

An interactive wand costs $65 plus tax and is available in 26 designs. Each design is a replica of the wand used by a character from the Harry Potter franchise.

2. Power-Up Band

Power-Up Bands are another interactive souvenir you can buy at Universal Studios. Power-Up Bands are the best souvenir you can buy from Super Nintendo World because can be used to play mini-games inside this area of the theme park.

Power-Up Bands cost $42 plus tax and are available in six different designs:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
5. Princess Daisy
6. Yoshi

3. Hogwarts Robe

Another fantastic souvenir for fans of Harry Potter is a Hogwarts robe. The robes are available in four designs, representing the four houses at Hogwarts:

1. Gryffindor
2. Hufflepuff
3. Ravenclaw
4. Slytherin

Hogwarts Robes are available in adult and child sizes and cost $139 plus tax.

At $139, a Hogwarts Robe is the most expensive souvenir on my list. I know you can get a Hogwarts Robe cheaper from third-party stores, and if you have a young child, that might be a good decision.

However, if you’re a serious Harry Potter fan, then I feel this robe is worth the $139. The quality of the material and the stitching are fantastic. Plus, the large outside pockets and the inside wand pocket are amazing.

4. Freestyle Cup

I’m all for a functional souvenir, so I love the interactive wands and power-up bands. You can use them inside the Universal theme park and display them, or use them again at home.

The same goes for a Coca-Cola Freestyle Cup, which cost $18.99. Discounts are available on multiple cups bought in a single transaction.

The Coca-Cola Freestyle Cup gives you unlimited drink refills all day. If you plan to buy more than four drinks at Universal Studios, you’ll save money by purchasing this cup.

You can also use the cup for a discount on future days or visits to the theme park and even use it as a drink bottle when you’re back home.

5. Souvenir Sipper

Souvenir sippers don’t offer the same value for money as refillable cups. However, the 3D character design can make them a better souvenir overall.

Souvenir sippers cost $18 plus tax and include one free drink. Any additional refills of the cup then come at the standard menu price.

6. Lanyard

Lanyards are another practical Universal Studios souvenir. They are great for storing room keys and park tickets while on vacation and come in a variety of designs.

Lanyards cost between $13 and $15, while lanyard pouches cost between $5 and $8.

7. Keyring

Universal Studio’s keyrings cost around $12, making them one of the cheapest souvenirs and a great choice if you’re visiting Universal Studios on a budget.

There are hundreds of different keyring designs to choose from, covering the most popular Universal films and TV shows.

8. Chocolate Frog

Another fantastic Harry Potter souvenir to buy at Universal Studios is a Chocolate Frog.

Chocolate Frogs are available in white, dark and milk chocolate and cost $14 each or 3 for $35. Each Chocolate Frog comes with a collectable trading card just like you see in the films. There are currently 15 trading cards to collect.

9. T-Shirts

Universal Studios sells a fantastic range of T-shirts from Universal TV shows and films, old and new. Both adults’ and kids’ T-shirts are available and cost between $25 and $40, depending on the size and design.

T-shirts are a great souvenir because you can wear them while you’re at the park and again when you’re home to remind you of your trip.

10. Plush Toys

There are hundreds of different plush designs to choose from at Universal Studios. There’s a plush for all interests, from Super Nintendo to Harry Potter, Sponge Bob to Jurassic Park.

The cost of plush toys at Universal Studios varies depending on the character, size, and style. Typically, they cost between $12 and $65.
