What Finn Wolfhard Can’t Live Without

If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what everyday stuff famous people add to their carts — like hair spray or an electric toothbrush. We asked actor Finn Wolfhard — who partnered with Ring in October as part of the judging team for Ring’s Great Ghost Search — about the 12-string guitar, security cameras, and travel-friendly game he can’t live without.

It’s going to sound dumb, but as I’ve gotten older, I love socks. When I was younger, I would get socks for Christmas and I would actually be mad. Now that I’m a bit older and realize that I constantly lose pairs of socks, if I get that from my parents, I’m like, “Thank you so much.”

This year on set I’ve been playing games with the cast of Stranger Things. It passes the time really well, and it’s a social game, so you can talk to your friends and still be working towards this goal together.

I just walk around my house sometimes aimlessly strumming my guitar and mindlessly play them. Recently I’ve been playing a 12-string Rickenbacker that I got in Vancouver a few years ago.

Having a good deodorant that works is very important to me — I’ve had natural deodorant that just does not work. This one is a really good deodorant.

I play video games as much as I can when I’m working just to decompress. Right now I’m playing Astro Bot, which is so fun.

I like to keep this around to make sure I’m caught up on emails or if I need to write something and make some music.

I take my running shoes everywhere I go. I’m such a bad runner, but in a pinch if I need to get any exercise, I just go out and run. These ones are super comfortable.

I have this Arcteryx backpack that is part of my friend Cole’s collection. It’s just great. It’s huge. It can be an outdoorsy camming backpack that can fit a lot of stuff into it, and it’s also the perfect traveling backpack.

Ring and I partnered for their Great Ghost Search, and I was a judge to help them find the spookiest Ring footage submitted by Ring users. I have the Ring Outdoor Cam, which is a good way to check on the house and see if it’s okay. I have it at my home for when I’m working so much, and I can check the app. I have the Indoor Cam as well — they’re both the best security for your home that you can get.
