   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.
