VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: GeekDecor.net
Geek Decor offers up fans hundreds and hundreds of unique geek-related items 365 days a year. For the holiday season though, they’ve released several great items including their Weeping Angel tree topper, their Doctor Who ornament set and their brand new Star Wars Nutcracker collection.
They add new items each and every day so I’d recommend getting on their mailing list as a good way to keep up with all the new and cool stuff that arrives on Geek Decor’s site and to be in the loop on any upcoming sales they may be offering this holiday season.

APPAREL: Stylin Online’s Star Wars Jedi Bath Robe & The Walking Dead Daryl-Inspired Hoodie
As I mentioned on day one of the Holiday Gift Guide, Stylin Online pretty much has merchandise to cover fans of all types, ages and demographics and while digging through their vast selections while doing some of my own Christmas shopping, I came across this ridiculously fun Star Wars Jedi Bath Robe and this Daryl-Inspired Walking Dead hoodie and I thought both were too fun not to share.
COLLECTIBLES: Rubies Pop Culture Candy Bowl Holders
Last year, both the Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees Candy Bowl Holders became part of my collectibles collection and while they seem like they’d only be fun to have out around Halloween, they are a lot of fun year-round and would make fun gifts for the genre fan in your life.
And if you’re a Star Wars fan, Rubies has a whole collection for you guys too- you can chose from Boba Fett , a Stormtrooper , Darth Vader or even Yoda .
ACCESSORIES: Kreepsville 666
For today’s accessories, I’ve got a few ideas for the horror-loving ladies out there- the unique and fun purses from the fiends over at Kreepsville 666. Not only do they have some really cool clutches and adorable coin purses but they also have this awesome Elvira tote and all for really affordable prices too.
FOR THE LITTLE GHOULS: PunkBabyClothes.net
Punk Baby Clothes is your ultimate source for all things punk, alternative, cool and edgy when it comes to designer baby and toddler clothing, accessories, shoes and unique baby shower gifts. They offer the biggest selection of punk rock styles, alternative fashions and urban inspired clothing designs in infant & toddler sizes as well as an extensive selection of unique baby gifts. Check out their entire collection which includes this fun Girly Monsters 4 piece onesie set , an adorable Vampire Pacifier or even this badass Pantera Toddler Shirt for the tiny metal heads out there.
FOUND ON ETSY:
Today’s Etsy selection comes from the Creepy Stuff Shop- it’s this bizarrely awesome Zombie Siamese Twins Gingerbread Men Ornament which would be a fun addition to anyone’s tree. Creepy Stuff also has a ton of other horror-inspired products but I thought this ornament in particular was wicked cool.
