9 Handmade Gifts for the Zombie Lover

If lately you’ve been wondering what to buy for the zombie aficionado who has everything, here are nine suggestions found on Etsy. Most are under $20:

1. Glow in the dark mummy zombie doll

From The Devil’s Wallpaper

This dangly-eyed zombie mummy comes gift wrapped in bandages.

2. Zombie cozy

From Sparrow Design Works

It may not be terribly utilitarian with only enough room for a paperback book maybe a cell phone or a pack of cigarettes, but that doesn’t make this zombie cozy any less desirable. I like the artists’ idea of using it as packaging for another gift. It’s just a tad too small to fit my new Asus Eee subnotebook, but I might be tempted into ordering a custom cozy.

3. Zombie girl crochet pattern

From The Ole Attic Chest

Unfortunately, this zombie doll is actually just a PDF crochet pattern, but if you search Etsy every once in a while, you’ll find someone selling the finished product. Or you could take the less fiendishly delightful route and dig out your mom’s old crochet needles …

4. Plush zombie bunny magnet

From Kill Taupe

Every refrigerator needs an oversized zombie bunny.

5. Zombie pinup girl candle

From Oogie Boogie Emporium

A zombified take on the classic pinup. 2007 seems to be the year of the zombie pinup - the First Annual Flashback Weekend Zombie Pinups Pageant took place in July, and another one has already been scheduled for next summer.

6. Zombie Dorothy doll

From Natty Stuffs (who also makes zombie kitties)

This is how Dorothy might have turned out if the house had fallen on her instead of on the Wicked Witch of the East. There’s got to be a Wizard of Oz/Night of the Living Dead mashup out there somewhere - anyone?

7. Zombiepus

Zombiepus
From RightBrainThinker

Speaking of mashups, this crocheted octopus doll is sort of zombie meets Cthulhu (if Cthulhu had six stumpy little tentacles.)

8. “In Case of Zombie Bite” t-shirt

“In Case of Zombie Bite” shirt
From Angry Johnny

In case of fire: stop, drop, and roll. In case of zombie bite: Cut! Cauterize! Contain! Angry Johnny - if you’re listening, make this into a poster-sized print.

9. Zombie plague holiday cards

If you’re giving the gift of zombie, you’ll need appropriate holiday cards. And nothing captures the holiday spirit like reminding loved ones of the impending zombie plague.
