Brilliantly Goth (AND CHEAP!) Holiday Gift Ideas

Alright, so if you're like me....you're cheap. But, you don't want to prove that you're cheap because you're in denial so you need to find cool websites and shops that sell cheap things that look expensive...especially during the holiday season. Now, I know a lot of you don't have goth and alternative friends, like I do...but for those of you that do....here are some awesome places to look for gifts.

1. Miss A
Alright, this shop is Ah-maze-ing. First it's like a virtual dollar store. Seriously, everything on the website is $1. And to top off the glorious ice cream sundae that is this website, the glistening delicious cherry is $3.95 flat rate USA shipping. Yeah, that's right.....$3.95 shipping and everything is $1.00. This is definitely a website to check out for stocking stuffers-I just placed an order myself so I will update with the quality of the items from the shop. The items all look like cheap ebay jewelry and accessories from china to me. The thing I liked the most about it is the shipping say 5-8 days, and most listings for the items on eBay all have a month to wait for shipping. So, this website seems totally promising.

Update: The quality of the items is as expected. They are definitely not high end but will help make stockings look a lot more full and are some things my friends will enjoy. My only complaint is that my one skull hand pen came broken...but a little hot glue will fix it right up.

Here are some cheap gothy things I found quite interesting on this website.
 

NEED I REMIND YOU THESE ARE ALL A DOLLAR? Ohhh, yes please.

2. Pop Up Tee
This is a glorious website that I HIGHLY suggest you subscribe to so you don't miss out on anything awesome. This is especially a great site if you're doing a Secret Santa and want to wow someone with your knowledge of their geeky-ness. The way Pop Up Tee works is every week or so they have a new set of T-shirts that go on sale for $12.99 with free shipping. Yup, that's right less than $20.00 with free shipping. They use original artwork based on pop culture at the time. Usually video games but occasionally you'll hit the jack-pot of horror movies and other hilariously goth things. However, a lot of my friends are extremely into Video games and things like My Little Pony and Doctor Who so it's a great site to keep an eye on for Christmas time. The quality of their shirts is phenomenal as well. Really, I have no complaints. Here are some examples that have been/are on sale right now that I think are amazing.




Geeky $12.00 T-Shirts. I love it.


3. Darling Girl Cosmetics
So, I love their Queens of Scream Horror Movie makeup which are phenomenal. I personally ordered The Bride for myself, and Hello, Clarice for Kat A'strophé. These are amazing glitter filled eyeshadows for really great prices. $6.00 for a full sized with custom art work, $2.50 for a petite...they have so many different types. Best of all, they are an Indie Business run by a really great girl. They are just phenomenal. The only thing to watch out for is their 2 week turn around rate so if you're planning on ordering for Christmas....you better hurry! 
 
This is a little bias because this is my shop, but if you really want some cool things for your goth friends check out what I currently sell. We have $10 min-stockings filled with goodies, stress relief holiday soap (that would be great for ANY mom), and tons of Bath products, magickal products and spooky one of a kind creations. I seriously suggest it. Oh! Want an added bonus? Use code "YuleLoveThis" for a free stocking stuffer (this is a code only available for readers of this blog, magick and macabre co. winners, and previous shoppers)! <3 Black Friday, we're going to have a totally cool sale...and a different one for Cyber Monday...so keep your eyes peeled! 


This isn't really a website, it's an App and it is totally cool. Users from all over the world can sell items on this app for yardsale type prices. I've snagged some totally gnarley items on it. Some of my favorite sellers are: @missravenwolfe88, @screamqueensammi, & @manonthemoonmystics! My shops are @Magickmacabre & @UniverseFaggot! Below are some pictures of stuff I snagged already. (Two of which are X-mas presents for friends!)

 

So there you have it! My top 5 go to places for shopping this holiday season! Most of which are gothically inclined!

Blessings & Love,
Bee!
