Preternatura Holiday Guide: Shopping for the Vampire Lover

The holidays are almost here, and if you're like me, you've just begun shopping. What, you're done? You started in July? Gah!

So I thought I'd pull together a few gift guides for those of us prone to the less-plain-vanilla side of life, beginning today with some fun toys and trinkets for the vampire...er, I mean the vampire-lover...in your life. What do you like? Seen other vampire things you want to share a link for? (Coming up soon: the werewolf shopping guide, the zombie shopping guide, and more...)

1. Vampire Blood Incense

I mean...ick. Plus, on the package: "Harvested through an advanced process in which vampires are slowly bled.  The unearthly qualities of the blood are isolated and extracted into a premium incense. Some vampires were harmed during this process but none met true death." Uh-huh. 

2. L'il Vampire Baby Pacifier

I actually have a newborn nephew, and am thinking Noah could use a little vampire love for the holidays :-) 

3. "Bite Me" Bottle Opener

Hey, this is kinda cool. And if it's real silver, depending on your vampire mythos, it could double as a weapon.

4. Dracula Dog Costume

I don't know about you guys, but Shane and Tanker would bite me themselves if I tried to put this on either one of them. They have much higher standards.

5. Take a Dip of This

So...nothing says Christmas like a coffin-shaped dip bowl with a vampire on the bottom, right? Right?

6. Hardcore Hardware

From the folks at vampirefangs.com, some serious oral hardware--your own retractable fangs. Because you don't always want to just be hanging out, you know?

7. Emergency Rations

In case you get stuck at a boring office holiday party without the proper liquid refreshment, carry your own vial of blood on a necklace, guarded by dragon charms. (Also from the fine folks at vampirefangs.com).

8. Words That Kill

For the vampire who has everything, a set of 200 vampire-related word magnets in this Vampire Poetry Kit to leave bloody love notes on your fridge. Where you keep the chilled blood, I guess.

9. When A Simple Card Won't Do

When you care enough to kill with the very best, spotted on etsy, a vampire slaying kit, complete with two stakes, a wooden mallet, a Bible, some rosary beads, some garlic powder--all in antique bottles. 

10. Yummmm

Huh? Wha? He's not for sale? Damn. 

So, what's under your vampire's holiday tree? Coming up next....the Werewolf Shopping Guide.
