There’s no doubt 2021 was BTS’ year. RM, Suga, Jin, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook rocked the music industry with their catchy songs and smooth dance moves. Their fans — ARMY — ballooned judging by the millions of viewers they had for official online concerts and the four-day sold-out “Permission to Dance on Stage” in Los Angeles. You don’t even have to look far. We’re sure you’ve got friends who’ve been converted into ARMY this year. And if you’re thinking of giving them gifts to celebrate BTS and being a fan, we’ve got the perfect ideas for you. Check out these fanmade merch items by Pinoy ARMYs worth splurging on, both for yourself and your friends. Thank us later!
If it’s not you then you’ve at least got one friend who’s dedicated to having a BTS bedroom makeover. BT21 cushions are cute and all but a blanket from Bangtan Blankies completes the setup with a chef’s kiss. They’ve got the coolest designs ever — BTS member core, rap line, vocal line, and even blanket designs for albums. Peep how colorful and beautiful that Hope World blanket is! The blankets are made from 100x faux rabbit and are large enough to wrap around your body twice. Just imagine all the cool Instagram photos you’ll have during sleepovers!

Is your ARMY bestie stressed? Get them a scented candle infused with premium fragrances to help them relax. Although fair warning, Decoroom’s Lighter Note candles come with a bit of snark. Their BTS Dynamite line “smells like your imaginary relationship with [insert BTS member].” In other words, it smells absolutely awesome. Each one is in a reusable jar and is made with hand-poured all-natural soy beeswax with a natural wood wick for that eco-friendly burn. Get it in three options: First Dibs (lemon, cinnamon, cedarwood), Cloud 9 (vanilla, bergamot, patchouli), and Late Night Drive (juniper, orange, raspberry). Which one do you think would smell like your imaginary relationship with Taehyung?

In the Soop brought much-needed healing time for every ARMY but the official merch was unfortunately too expensive for many.

Aside from that, Studio 875 also has the coolest ARMY Universe Tote Bag. The design is embossed on the canvas material and it comes with an acrylic keyring, film strip, and freebies.
