4 - Cemetery Journal
Did you know that the term for someone who enjoys graveyards is a taphophile? Neither did I until I started researching this blog and I am one myself! A fondness for a stroll through the local cemetery is common amongst the Gothic community and this journal would make a great companion for those walks. With space for information on the graveyard visited as well as prompts for things seen. Available from Cemetery Journal - Graveyard Wanders
5 - A Bone Mandala
Gallery walls and oddities are a permanent favourite; combine both with an intricate bone mandala. A perfect gift for a male Goth, these are the perfect blend of the macabre and the beautiful. They're also light enough to hang with stick on hooks if you don't want to make holes in your wall. Available from Bone Mandalas - Art by Jodie Yeung
6 - Hand Painted Press On Nails
Your Goth girlfriend can skip the nail salon with a gift of these hand painted press on nails. They are made to order, so you are able to personalise the colours to be something she will truly adore.

Custom sets are also available, so you could commission some that would be perfect for the intended wearer. Available from Cathedral Arches Nails - Custom Claws by Rhianna
