Minecraft

Official Minecraft Stationery, Homeware and Posters

The Minecraft range is weighted towards a child's bedroom and school bag. Stationery comes first — notebooks, eraser sets, a diary and bumper sets — then homeware, with Creeper and Hugs doormats, velvet-feel cushions and a towel. Posters and framed 3D pictures follow, alongside junior and time-teacher watches, a backpack, birthday cards and gift wrap.

Is this a birthday gift or a room piece?

The range answers both, and the split is clean. For a birthday, the cards, gift wrap, stationery sets and eraser packs are inexpensive and reliably right. For a room, the doormats, cushions and framed pictures are the pieces that last past the week. The time-teacher watches sit in between and are the usual choice for a younger child learning the clock.

How do you spot unofficial Minecraft goods?

By the blocks. Licensed from Mojang, the textures here are the game's own, at the right grid and palette. Unofficial printing softens the pixel edges or shifts the Creeper's green, which on a doormat or cushion is immediately visible.
