Collection: Budget Picks

You want to treat someone without parting with a twenty. None of our budget picks goes over €19.90, and the cheapest one, a set of pens, stops at €12.90. Still, check the format before you choose, because several listings are sets — twenty-four cake toppers, seven pins, fifteen balloons — and not single pieces sold on their own.

OUR POKÉMON BUDGET PICKS 💶

Nine families share the budget section, and they have little in common beyond the price tag. Twenty-four keychains at €14.90, nineteen embroidered patches at the same price, eleven AirPods cases at €19.90, nine figures at €17.90 and twenty different birthday decorations. Pens bring up the rear at €12.90.

CHARMANDER DANGLES FROM THE END OF YOUR KEYS 🔑

The Charmander keychain is a Q-version-style charm, all head and big eyes, made to clip onto your keys, your bag or your pencil case. The line revolves around the starters and the mascots — Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Psyduck — and Mew goes its own way with a plush version on a carabiner.

THE POKÉMON EMBROIDERED PATCH GOES ON WITH AN IRON, NOT GLUE 🧷

The patches are iron-on: one pass of the iron on a jacket, a bag or a pair of jeans and the job is done. Pikachu keeps his red cheeks, Charmeleon's flame is rendered in bright orange thread, Bulbasaur's bulb stands out against its turquoise skin. Nineteen designs in all, including the full line from Charmander to Charizard.

THE WHOLE POKÉMON BIRTHDAY TABLE ON A BUDGET 🎂

The birthday party comes together here from start to finish. Twenty-four cake toppers in rigid cardboard mounted on wooden picks, a pennant banner about two meters long to assemble yourself, fifteen latex balloons you can inflate with air or helium, ten 8.5 cm cups printed with the exact Poké Ball design and a tablecloth illustrated in Pokémon GO style.

MAGIKARP ONLY HAS SPLASH, AND IT STILL ENDS UP A GYARADOS 🐟

The most useless move in the game, and yet everyone keeps their Magikarp until level 20. That's pretty much the spirit of this section. A sticker, a set of silicone bracelets or seven enamel pins cost next to nothing, but they are the ones that end up stuck on the laptop, the water bottle or the everyday bag.
