Welcome back, dear readers, for the next installment of Daily Dead’s 2021 Holiday Gift Guide! Today, we’re turning our attention toward all the amazingly brilliant indie artists and creators who celebrate horror and sci-fi with the work they do. For today’s gift guide, we’ve organized everything into specialized sections, including artwork, apparel and accessories, jewelry and enamel pins, and a miscellaneous category where you’ll find a fun assortment of items and gift ideas for this holiday season.

A quick note: I think most of us are aware that mail and shipping has been slow as molasses this year, so I encourage you to do your shopping early on, as some of these sites have a cut-off date coming up in the next week, and you wouldn’t want your gifts to arrive after the holidays. So, if you’re looking to do some shopping and support an array of wonderful indie creatives, it’s better to shop sooner than later.

Cheers!
