One of many places in Disneyland you can acquire Disney themed gifts for yourself or anyone on Santa's nice list. This year we stopped in here during the holidays to get our new four-legged family member a stocking for Christmas.
Disney Showcase ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/disney-showcase-anaheim-2?select=OQSuuUB3xqzPX3S42ttzLg ) located on the end of Main Street USA nearest the park entrance and is right across the "street" from the Emporium. Like every shop on Main Street USA, it is open one hour past park closing in case you managed to avoid depleting the cash in your wallet and maxing out your plastic while the park was open.

Other than the merchandise, this is one of the few places (or the only place) in the park that offers to embroider ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/disney-showcase-anaheim-2?select=0u2FWjK-MfdYmCywcQtIog ) your purchases. In the past, Disney offered free embroidery to any item bought in the park, but our latest visit revealed there is now an $8.00 charge per item.
The merchandise changes regularly so if you see something you really like and you don't plan on visiting again for spell, I suggest buying the item or it may not be there when you come back. The family stockings ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/disney-showcase-anaheim-2?select=6v9ExgSCz8f3xxdd7ele7w ) we purchased and embroidered have not been available for probably 10 plus years. Disney currently has some new designs on display:

Our past dogs have always had stockings, but we have never purchased one from Disney, because we were concerned about the advanced age of our four-legged family members at the time of rescue. Kamena is still young (just turned 2 years old approximately), so we determined there is plenty of time left with her to make a $27.99 investment ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/disney-showcase-anaheim-2?select=pD4mR6hjWJ1mATVG98pv9Q ) in a Pluto stocking.
Once we found the stocking, we took it to the embroider who showed us a book ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/disney-showcase-anaheim-2?select=Nz2bhNdII1f4zduhishywA ) with 15 font styles and several colors of thread. At first we were going to go with the Snowa Snow font, but the cast member explained to us the "snow" on top of the font would be gold and not white (it is what color the fabric is being sown into). After studying the other styles, we settled on the Curlz style, paid for the stocking and embroidery (passholders get 20 percent off the merchandise ... no discount for the embroidery) and was given a time to pick up the finished product.
The cast member we dealt with was knowledgeable and we appreciated her honesty regarding the Snowa Snow font, I don't think either of us would have like the way the font looked on the stocking.
I returned at the appointed time to find Kamena's stocking ready for pickup and the embroidery on it was a perfect match for the stocking.
