Stray Kids are back with their fourth LP, KARMA, and everyone’s getting excited.
The 11-track album was released on Aug. 22 to widespread fanfare from STAYs and general K-pop fans alike. This is the boy band’s latest musical endeavor since its 2024 EP, Ate. Tracks on this new album include “BLEEP,” “CEREMONY,” “Ghost,” “CREED,” “In My Head,” “0801” and “Half Time.” The album is the first full-length body of work the guys have released since 2023 album 5-STAR.
This is cause to celebrate in our book, and we’re doing it the only way we know how: by shopping. If you’re a STAY looking to invest in high-quality merchandise, whether fan-made or official, or you’re shopping for the K-pop-obsessed person in your life, we’ve got you covered.
Below is a list of Stray Kids merch items from backpacks to keychains and photocard sleeves that are sure to please. We’ve scoured Etsy, Amazon and more to find the best of the best merch for you. The best part? It’s affordable.
This Stray Kids-themed backpack is practical for back to school season, and it’s cute, too. Retailing for $35.99, this bag comes in an all-black colorway and features a spacious design — 44 x 14 x 31CM to be exact. The roomy construction makes stowing away all the school essentials like laptops, books, pencil cases and more a breeze. The backpack also includes comfortable padded straps for ease of wear and is branded with Stray Kids’ logo in the front in contrasting white and red lettering for a stylish twist. You’ve even got a matching Stray Kids keychain to match, letting everyone know you’re serious about that stan life.
If you’re a K-pop stan, you’ll know that photocards are extremely precious. Each pull from an album is like a gamble, similar to blind boxes. You won’t know which member you’ll get until the album is opened. Photocards have become a big draw for album sales, allowing fans an interactive perspective that can be traded and sold akin to Pokémon cards.
It’s a collector’s item for many, which is why this photocard sleeve is so nifty. Retailing for $9.99, the card holder is a bright blue hue and features each member’s SKZOO character along with a clear vinyl sleeve that acts as a window so you can see your photocard at all times. Got a precious Bangchan photocard you want to carry with you everywhere? Slip it into this cardholder and secure it to your keys or bag for safekeeping.
Stray Kids – Official Light Stick Ver.2
A version 2 of the Stray Kids’ lightstick.
Lightsticks are a must-have for concerts. The high-shine item can often cost an arm and a leg, especially if the lightstick is official merchandise. Well, you’re in luck. Amazon has Stray Kids’ official lightstick in stock right now, and it’s currently 39% off. While Stray Kids isn’t currently on tour, this lightstick is a great collector’s piece to have displayed on a shelf for all to see. Especially given the discounted price, this is a must-have for STAYs everywhere.
Opting for the friendship bracelet route a la Taylor Swift, this set would be perfect to take to concerts. It includes 10 bracelets with colorful beads attached. Eight of the 10 bracelets depict the members’ names, while one of them reads “I heart Stray Kids,” and the final one features a star design. The beaded pieces add a colorful touch to any ensemble and subtly show off your love for the group and it’s members.
Feenmai Stray Kids Cartoon Keychain
A keychain that can be attached to keys or bags.
Hopping onto the bag-charm craze, we’re thinking these Stray Kids SKZOO keychains could be a major hit. Retailing for $7.99, each charm comes equipped with cute charms of each member’s designated SKZOO character in a chibi fashion. The charms are colorful and eye-catching, offering visual interest to whatever they’re clipped onto. Snag yourself your bias’ SKZOO or grab the whole lot to support all eight members. We’d style these on a handbag or tote; however, they’d look good in a traditional fashion clipped to keys, too.
Another cute little charm, but this time for your phone? It’s a must-have for sure. We see the SKZOO characters back once again, this time affixed to phone charms that can be found on Etsy. Retailing for $7.08, you have the option to pick which member’s SKZOO you want affixed to your charm and what color you’d like your charm to be. There are a slew of options to choose from, so you can get creative with your picks. You also have the option to choose between a string closure or a metal keychain closure for easy attachment to your phone case.
