The Ultimate Gift Guide for Goths & Alternative Souls
It's that time of year again, when you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, wondering what on earth you're going to buy everyone for Christmas. Whether it's Secret Santa, your partner, or that one best friend who somehow manages to get you the best gift every single year (the pressure is REAL), we've got your back.
This year, we're here to take the stress out of Christmas shopping, so you can spend less time spiralling into festive despair and more time doing what you do best, doom scrolling, embracing your dark side, or let's be honest, shopping for yourself. From gothic jewellery to unique gifts for your favourite alternative souls, we've rounded up some darkly delightful gift ideas that'll make even the hardest to shop for crack a smile!
Starting Off Strong: Personalised Pieces
Starting off strong, we have our personalised jewellery pieces. Because let's be honest, nothing says "I actually put some thought into this" quite like a gift that's been made personal. Whether it's a quote you both live by, a vow you made to each other, an inside joke that absolutely nobody else understands, or something special that means the world to you, our engraved jewellery lets you carry those little pieces of your story wherever you go. Shopping for a Twilight lover? Why not engrave "Skin of a Killer" so they can carry their very own little piece of Edward Cullen around with them? Because if they're still waiting for their vampire boyfriend to appear, we might as well help them manifest it.
For the Alt Couple Getting Married Next Year
Know someone getting married next year? If they're more black lace than white lace, we've got a few bits they might love. We've got husband and wife rings, wife necklaces and personalised ring boxes, perfect for keeping those rings safe until the big day. You can even personalise a ring box to make it extra special, whether it's for your own wedding or a gift for someone you love.
Wedding gifts don't have to be the usual champagne glasses or something that'll end up shoved in the back of a cupboard. There's something rather fitting about gothic wedding jewellery when you're promising to love someone until death do you part.
For the Whimsical Friend
We all have that one friend who's a little bit witchy, probably talks to the moon, and would happily disappear into the woods to live amongst the mushrooms. If you're struggling to find them a Christmas present, we've got a few things up our sleeve!
First up, we have our Green Witch Mushroom Jewellery Box, which is perfect for storing all their little treasures. And if they're into the more unusual side of things, our Fly Necklace is definitely one to check out. It's quirky, a little unexpected, because who said jewellery has to be all hearts and flowers? For your friend who's never too far away from their next full moon ritual, our Green Witch Pentacle Ring is a great choice. Or, if they're more into stargazing and pretending they're a character in a fantasy novel, our Celestial Necklace and Bracelet might be right up their street. Think moonlit skies, a little bit of magic, and jewellery they can wear every day.
And if all else fails, you can always buy them something for their altar and hope they don't put a curse on you for getting the wrong thing.
For the Elder Emo
If you're shopping for someone whose emo phase was never a phase we've got a few things they might want to add to their Christmas list. First up, we have our Emo Old English Signet Ring. I mean, it literally says EMO. What more could you possibly want? It's practically a love letter to your teenage self, minus the questionable haircuts and eyeliner that never quite came off properly.
If they're more into the romantic, slightly dramatic side of things, our Til We Are Ghosts Wax Seal Necklace is another one to check out. And for those who still love a darker aesthetic, you can't go wrong with our Lament Cross Necklace, Crypt Black Coffin Choker or Obsession Spike Chain Necklace. Basically, if they would've worn it to an emo night in 2007, they're probably going to love it.
Whether they're still going to gigs, have a playlist full of songs that remind them of their teenage angst, or simply never stopped dressing in black, these pieces make great gothic Christmas gifts for the elder emo in your life.
And there you have it! Whether you're shopping for your witchy bestie, your other half, your favourite elder emo or that one person who's impossible to buy for, we hope we've made your Christmas shopping a little less stressful. From personalised pieces with a special meaning to jewellery for your favourite little woodland witch, there's something for every kind of alternative soul.
And remember, there's absolutely nothing wrong with treating yourself while you're at it. After all, you've survived another year, and that deserves a little reward, doesn't it? We won't tell anyone if a little something for you accidentally ends up in the basket, too.
