Some of these fans include independent artists who have created amazing gifts inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

What better way to kick off this list of gifts than with a Sunnydale High School sweatshirt?

2. Magic Box tote bag
Fans can also rep Sunnydale’s Magic Box with this retro-style tote bag from Redbubble.

4. Spike t-shirt
If you want more Spike merch to go with your scrunchie then you can get this cute t-shirt.
