Paige Reynolds makes handmade jewelry, enamel pins and cross-stitches with a hint of macabre. Any of these would be ideal presents for someone who wants to stand from in the crowd.

4. Ghoul Friday

Ghoul Friday specializes in one of a kind, handmade creepy creations and orchestrates the adoption of creatures from her monster menagerie. Wouldn’t one of these look nice in a special someone’s living room?

5. Innabluebox

R.N. Laing takes inspiration from a variety of sources, including film, music (primarily classical and metal), science fiction, and professional wrestling. Her prints are suitable for framing, or you could gift a sew-on patch or a coffee mug to someone.

9. Suspirialand

Susana Vilchez draws, paints, tattoos, and makes one of a kind, handcrafted spooky toys for adults or cool kids. How about gifting a tattoo, a poster, or a Terror Tot to friends with exotic tastes?
