The Buffyfest Gift Guide 2010

Got a fan on your list? Whether you're buying for a newbie who is just discovering Buffy or a Whedonite so hard-core that he'll justify why we should really be watching Alien: Resurrection at this year's annual Buffyfest Party (Ryan, I'm looking at you), they'll be a treat on this here list to fill their Christmas stocking with or place under their Holiday Bush. And if you want something for yourself on here, throw your loved one a little hint. Simply say "Honey, I was on Buffyfest today and saw so many fantastic Whedon themed gifts on there. I would love it if on Christmas morning, something off their gift guide was under our Holiday Bush!" It's very subtle and really packs a punch.

This is our biggest and bestest Gift Guide ever, but do check out our past Gift Guides as some of that loot is still available too.
