Gift Basket Ideas for Twilight Fans

B. Hopkins
The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer spans four novels and currently two Hollywood movies. Surprising a die-hard Twilight fan, whether she favors Team Edward or Team Jacob, with a unique Twilight gift basket is a fun alternative to the traditional gifts of books, DVD's and posters. Creating a Twilight gift basket can be simple or elaborate and will depend on the personality and style preferences of the person receiving the gift basket.

Bella & Edward Romance gift basket

Since the core of the Twilight series is the eternal devotion between teen Bella and the vampire Edward, a basket celebrating their love is a great choice for any young romantic. A lined basket may be used as the gift container or you may choose to assemble the gift items in an Edward Twilight tote bag. For the Romance basket, include a Lion and the Lamb Metal Bag clip and a soft fleece throw featuring the image of Edward Cullen both available from Hot Topic.

Another fun item to include would be an Isle Esme t-shirt available from CafePress.com. Add items that are not official Twilight merchandise but represent key elements or emotions from the books. Ideas include a real red apple or a glass red apple paperweight, a lion and a lamb stuffed animals to represent Edward and Bella and a copy of Emily Bronte's book "Wuthering Heights" (one of Bella's favorites.)

Team Jacob gift basket

For the fan who is all about the Quileute wolves, give a Twilight gift basket centered on Jacob Black. Considering using the Twilight Team Jacob tote bag by NECA and available through Amazon.com for about $30. Fill the tote with a Team Jacob hoodie from CafePress.com or a Team Jacob t-shirt from Hot Topic. Another fun t-shirt from Café Press is the Property of Team Jacob: Cliff Diving Team t-shirt. Include Hot Topic's New Moon Howling Wolf scarf, priced at about $18. Consider adding a Jacob Black doll that can be displayed on a bookshelf next to her Twilight books. Another unique item to include would be Hot Topic's New Moon Wolf Girl glass candle that stands four inches tall and features a silhouette of a wolf howling. Top off the tote with a stuffed animal of a russet colored wolf.

Twilight Glamour gift basket

A Twilight fan who loves makeup and girly glitz, might enjoy a gift basket filled with Twilight inspired makeup, scented body mists and even a New Moon Jacob or Bella/Edward Makeup box. HotTopic.com carries several Twilight beauty products including eye shadows, lip-glosses and a complete makeup kit that is priced at $28. Consider including a bottle of Twilight New Moon Volturi Forbidden Fruit scented body mist as well as a bottle of Volturi Tainted Love Immortal liquid body shimmer. A Volturi Crest key chain can also be a nice addition to this basket.

Twilight Saga gift basket

For the ultimate fan consider creating a Twilight Saga gift basket that includes a little bit of everything Twilight. Include a couple of t-shirts like a Forks High Spartans t-shirt (Café Press) or the New Moon Jane t-shirt (Hot Topic). Hot Topic also sells a cute New Moon Cullen Crest coin purse wristlet for about $20 that would be a hit. Some smaller items that might be appreciated include a Team Emmett button (Café Press), Twilight bookmarks or the Twilight soundtrack on CD available through retailers like Amazon.com and Borders Bookstores. Any devoted Twilight fan will enjoy a copy of the Twilight New Moon Official Illustrated Movie Companion or the board/DVD game Twilight SceneIt?. Be sure to include a piece of Twilight jewelry like the "I want you always" bangle bracelet or the Jacob Black charm necklace both available online.

Gift baskets can be a great way to help a Twilight fan celebrate her passion for this popular series. When choosing a gift for a Twilight fan, consider her personality and if possible check first to see what she may already have. Assembling a creative and thoughtful themed gift basket will give the Twilight fan something she can treasure for many years.
