Our Favorite Mahjong Gifts for Black Friday (and Beyond)

Favorites
Written By Mockingbird & Magnolia

The holiday season has officially begun, which means one thing: Mahjong gifting is in full swing. Whether you’re shopping for someone who wants to learn, someone who wants to upgrade their table, or treating yourself (a proud Mockingbird & Magnolia tradition), we’ve gathered our favorite finds from around the internet and from right here at home in Northwest Arkansas.

And yes… go ahead and picture Julie Andrews twirling while singing “these are a few of our favorite things.” We certainly did.

🎁 For the Beginner or the “I’ve Been Wanting to Learn…” Friend

One of our all-time favorite gifts is the experience of learning Mahjong. A seat at the table brings connection, laughter, presence, and a few magical hours of just being.

This year, we’re offering two ways to give that magic:

  • Public 101/102 Gift Certificates
    Perfect for someone ready to learn and make new connections.

  • Private Lesson for 4
    Ideal for sisters, besties, co-workers, book clubs, couples or mother/daughter duos—anyone who deserves a night of fun with zero planning required.

Experiences beat “things” any day… unless the thing is Mahjong tiles. Then it’s a tie.

🌟 Mahjong Leaders: Brand Favorites We Trust

These are the heavy-hitters—the national brands we personally use, love, and recommend. If you're starting a collection or upgrading your setup, this is where the quality shines and the Black Friday savings go the farthest.

My Fair Mahjong — Tiered Savings Up to $250 Off

My Fair Mahjong is running a “spend more, save more” Black Friday sale, offering up to $250 off $1,000.

Their main sets are gorgeous, their racks are high-quality, and their travel set is one of our top picks for gifting (just add a small mat and you’re ready to mahj anywhere).

This year, we’re especially excited to snag their acrylic racks with interchangeable magnetic pushers. We saw these in action at a friend’s house recently and fell in love with the versatility.

The confetti blue and confetti pink may or may not already be in our carts. If you’re looking for a rack set that works across any mat and tile combo, this is an excellent option.

Peace Love Mahjong — Up to 20% Off $500

Peace Love Mahjong is also offering a tiered sale, maxing out at 20% off $500. Their accessories are some of our most-used, most-loved pieces:

Adding their OG Mahj Tiles ($240) and solid mats ($50) make it easy to reach that 20% savings tier.

Bam Bird Boutique — 15% Off Everything

We finally brought home the East Meets West Tortoise Tiles, and they are even more stunning in person. Everything on the Bam Bird Boutique site is 15% off through Cyber Monday.

If you’re looking for a truly unique gifting moment, their brand-new Art Deco Tiles ($360) are absolutely gorgeous. (Rumor has it the Art Deco tiles may or may not have made their way to Sydney’s cart…)

Between these three Mahjong leaders, you can build an elevated setup, or gift someone their dream Mahjong collection, with significant Black Friday savings.

One note, these savings are not stackable with our 10% off code, but if you use the links, we will get a small commission as an affiliate.

🎄 Big Box: Festive & Holiday Deals on Amazon

If your holiday season includes themed Mahjong nights (and honestly, why wouldn’t it?), Amazon has some standout Black Friday finds:

We are fully in our holly-jolly mahj era, and loving every minute.

🏡 Shop Local: Our NWA Pick — Ozark Mahjong

As a local business ourselves, we love to shop local. And here in Northwest Arkansas, we are incredibly lucky to have Ozark Mahjong, a true treasure in our Mahjong community.

We use several of their items in our own business, but we’re especially obsessed with their tile boxes ($45). They make class setup unbelievably easy. Choose your box color, your coordinating strap, and the perfect tile size - practical and adorable.

Their vintage-inspired Mahjong mats ($75) are some of the most unique designs we’ve seen, and feel like pieces you’ll treasure for years. (Patiently on the waitlist for their beautiful tiles!).

If you’re in NWA, make time to visit the Ozark Mahjong Studio. It’s the only dedicated Mahjong studio in the region, and Shanda (the owner) is a wealth of knowledge. Truly, Shanda is who we want to be when we grow up.

Supporting local and scoring beautiful Mahjong accessories? That’s a holiday win.

🛍️ Small-Shop Spotlight: Kat Hartman Designs (Virginia Beach, VA)

While not local to NWA, we love supporting small makers, especially when their creativity celebrates Mahjong in such beautiful and giftable ways. Kat Hartman Designs was recently introduced to us as a favorite artisan for thoughtful Mahjong-themed extras.

From charming Mahjong mugs, to stationery, art prints, unique dice, and even the occasional vintage set, her shop is full of delightful surprises perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, hostess gifts, or “just because you love Mahjong” moments.

These are truly perfect for anyone who loves this game.

👚 And Don’t Forget… Our Own Mahjong Merch

We would be remiss if we didn’t share a few fun pieces from our own shop. If you want to gift something uniquely Mockingbird & Magnolia, from hats to themed shirts, our merch is a perfect way to add a touch of Southern Mahjong charm to someone’s holiday.

✨ A Few Final Thoughts

Whether you’re:

  • learning to play

  • buying your first set

  • expanding your collection

  • or building the coziest holiday Mahjong tablescape…

…there are countless ways to bring Mahjong magic into your home this season.

Mahjong brings people together. It slows us down, helps us be present, and gives us a reason to gather—something we all need a little more of during the holidays.

Happy shopping, happy gifting, and happiest shuffling.
