      From: daviderl31@yahoo.com              https://screenrant.com/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-gift-guide/                     The 10 Best Gifts To Get Any Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan       BY AMANDA MCQUEEN              Buffy the Vampire Slayer is arguably one of the best superhero TV shows of       all time. Action, adventure, emotion and some of the greatest characters       ever written - there's no falling out of love with the Scooby's. With a       reboot on the horizon, nostalgia for the original series is returning in       waves. Joss Whedon will be returning (with a new cast) to revive the magic.              For the slayer in your life, when they're not busy looking for demons,       darkness and vampires to fight, these gifts will make them smile. Or if you       are a diehard fan yourself and want to recruit some new Slayerettes, this       list includes great gateway gifts to capture their hearts.                     10. THE COMPLETE SERIES BOX SET        This is a great present for a new fan who wants to catch up before       the upcoming reboot, or a nostalgic slayer freak who can sit back and       revisit all of their favorite characters. It's a great choice for an older       generation or anyone who prefers DVDs to streaming services or digital       versions. If the learning curve of setting up digital media isn't for your       loved one, treating them to a binge-watch on disc is sure to please.        It's also a great collector's item - the box is a beautiful design       and looks great on a shelf. This is an evergreen show that can be watched       again and again, so the complete series should be a staple in every fan's       collection.              9. SEASON 10 LIBRARY EDITION - VOLUME 1        This is a combination of the first two softcover comics, in an       oversized version complete with the original covers of the comics, plus a       sketchbook expansion. Great for a young reader or an older fan who can       appreciate the art. Pages show cover sketches as well as final cover art, so       fans can pore over the stages of creation for their favorite pieces.        In this volume, the Scooby Gang is busy fighting zompires when the       Vampyr, Buffy's instruction manual, begins to somehow rewrite itself.       Dracula enters and the book goes missing. This is an action-packed story       with gorgeous, colored pages and is a beautiful book that fans might not buy       for themselves - great for collectors and a fun, nostalgic treat for Buffy       enthusiasts.              8. UPPER DECK LEGENDARY: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER        Upper Deck Legendary is a great deck-building game. In this version,       Marvel universe superheroes and villains are replaced by Slayers and Big       Bads from the Buffy series. Recruit Slayers as your heroes to build the       strongest deck, then fight and defeat Big Bads to gain points. This is a       semi-cooperative game, which helps for a positive vibe and friendly       competition. A twist is added with a light/dark tracker, that either       increases or decreases your characters' strength (a common theme in the       Buffy narrative).        The cards themselves are interesting to a collector or fan, just as       the original Marvel ones are. This is a fun party game and can be very       addictive - a great gift for someone who has played before, or a new recruit       who loves anything Sunnydale.              7. ANGEL: THE COMPLETE SERIES        In this highly successful spinoff series, Angel, a vampire cursed       with the guilty and self-conscious soul of a human being, moves to LA and       becomes a detective. Angel and Buffy had a fierce romance in the Buffy the       Vampire Slayer series, and he is a favorite original character to many.       Anyone who has crushed the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and is       eager for more will love Angel. The series centers around the complex       vampire and his constant battle between the powers of good and evil.        This is another great binge-watch, whether it be introductory or a       nostalgic re-watch for a long-time fan.              6. THE OFFICIAL GRIMOIRE: A MAGICKAL HISTORY OF SUNNYDALE        This is a magical textbook that captures and records each and every       magical event, from the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The book       is 160 pages fully illustrated, true to the Buffy universe, and full of       spells.        It is narrated by Willow Rosenberg, Buffy's sidekick and best friend       (and a talented witch).Willow was a shy, nerdy character who developed her       magic skills to become very powerful. Willow is a huge fan favorite, so       whoever your buying for will be in favor of that choice. The book is also       annotated by the other characters in the Scooby Gang, so we don't miss out       on their voices. Great for fans of all ages and a spooky night time read.              5. POP! VINYL BUFFY FIGURINE        This figurine sports an iconic Buffy look from the season 1       finale - she wears the white evening gown her mother gave her, to go to the       school dance. She has a jacket thrown on top and holds a crossbow, as she's       looking to face The Master and defeat him. She also wears her cross       necklace, a treasured gift that Angel gave her when she first met him.        In the episode, Buffy removes the necklace as a gesture that she is       done being the Slayer. She puts it back on to face the master, and we arrive       at the moment captured by this POP! Vinyl. Buffy fans love this moment in       the series, and these collectibles are amazing, affordable gifts.              4. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL COFFEE MUG        The Sunnydale High School logo, in flames and with fangs of course,       appears on this maroon ceramic mug in high-definition gold. Sunnydale High       School is the most important setting for the series, and underneath it a       Hellmouth simmers, acting as a portal for evil forces attacking the town of       Sunnydale. From the cheerleader uniforms to the dark and gorgeous library,       images of Sunnydale High bring a smile to any fan's face.        The cup is a bit larger than the average coffee mug, holding fifteen       ounces as opposed to the standard twelve. The logo appears on both sides, so       either left or right handed users will be happy. It's also dishwasher and       microwave safe - magical.              3. ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING - SOUNDTRACK        Episode 7 of season 6 was one for the Buffy books. It was a musical       episode in which a demon forces characters to reveal secret personal truths       through the form of song. The episode is a fan favorite and the soundtrack,       performed by the original cast of the show in their own voices, is a       celebratory gift for Buffy lovers. Orchestral tunes from other episodes are       on the soundtrack as well, and the songs from the musical episode center       around issues from mustard stains to fighting evil.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
