It’s SHARK WEEK 2026!
For shark lovers, Shark Week is practically a holiday. Every year, I look forward to seeing what Discovery has planned, and this year’s lineup looks especially fun with programs like K-Pop Shark Heroes featuring Ken Jeong and GRAMMY-nominated artist REI AMI, Air Jaws: Red, White and Breach and Bull Shark Dinner Bell. It also serves as my annual reminder to revisit this gift guide. New shark-themed products come out all the time, others disappear and some old favorites prove they deserve to stick around, so I spend time each summer researching what’s actually worth buying. If you’re planning to watch along, be sure to check the Shark Week schedule so you don’t miss your favorites.

From books and artwork to practical gear and quirky finds, every item is here because I think a fellow shark fan would genuinely be excited to unwrap it.
Over the years, your comments on my shark coverage, from South Africa to Hawaii to the Bahamas to Atlanta to the Maldives, have shown me that I am not alone in my love for the toothy predators.

Get cozy with Chomp the Shark – the snuggly, ocean-blue friend you didn’t know you needed. Weighing in at 3.8 lbs (or a smaller 2 lb. version), Chomp mimics the comfort of a real hug, helping to ease anxiety, boost mood and promote better sleep. Warm him in the microwave or chill him in the freezer, depending on what kind of comfort you’re craving.

16. Shark Swimsuit, $19
I’m not going to lie. You almost have to be a contortionist to put this suit on, but it’s so worth it. Second runner up that’s way easier to wear: this cowboy-cat-riding-a-shark-on-a-rainbow swimsuit will ensure you’re the talk of the pool party.
17. Shark Coochie Board, $19.99
I disagree that people can’t say charcuterie, but I still love the idea of creating a shark-cuterie board for all your Shark Week viewing parties. I’m not sure if raw tuna and sour gummy sharks are a great taste combo, but you know what? Life is too short to worry about all that. You do you!
