Shopping for someone who wears black all year is harder than it looks. They already own plenty of black clothes, they know exactly what they like, and anything "spooky cute" from a big-box store ends up in the donation bag. The trick is to match the gift to their kind of dark: the moon witch, the tarot reader, the cat mom, the bookworm, the hopeless romantic.
Here are 10 goth gift ideas from our oversized vintage-wash tees and acid-wash hoodies. Every tee is under $40, every hoodie is $65, shipping is free in the US, and these are designs they won't find at the mall.
Quick picks
- Under $40: any tee on this list.
- For witches: OMEN, FORTUNE or CODEX.
- For cat people: FAMILIAR or HOW TO DRAW A CAT.
- For someone who is always cold: the NOCTURNE or THRESHOLD hoodie.
10 goth gift ideas
1. For the moon witch: OMEN
Green witch hands with gold rings cradle a full moon across the back of the OMEN tee, with a tiny "I See the End" on the chest. It is the most witch-coded piece we make, and it works all year, not just in October. If they live in hoodies, the OMEN hoodie puts the same moon on heavyweight acid-wash fleece.
2. For the tarot reader: FORTUNE
The FORTUNE tee shows clawed hands fanning tarot cards over roses and a crystal ball. Go with Amethyst purple for a classic witchy look, Gilt for old gold or Rouge for something warmer. Pair it with their first (or fiftieth) tarot deck and the gift is done.
3. For the black cat mom: FAMILIAR
Every witch needs a familiar. The FAMILIAR tee puts a black cat inside a stained-glass medallion, with a tiny cat face on the chest. It comes in washed black, in white and as a hoodie, and there are more cats in our black cat shirts.
4. For the cat person with a sense of humor: HOW TO DRAW A CAT
A vintage step-by-step lesson on drawing a cat, with notes on whiskers, ears and pupils. The HOW TO DRAW A CAT tee is a great pick for artists, illustrators and anyone who sends you cat photos every single day. It comes in five tee colors and four hoodies.
5. For the bookworm witch: CODEX
The CODEX tee lines up a shelf of forbidden spellbooks on astrology, alchemy and witchcraft. It is dark academia with a curse on it, made for the friend who annotates every book and owns more candles than chairs.
6. For the dark romantic: BURNING HALO
A kneeling angel cradles a halo on fire, drawn like an old engraving. The BURNING HALO tee is for the friend who reads gothic novels and listens to sad songs on purpose. More fallen angels live in our gothic angel shirts.
7. For the grunge kid: GRIMOIRE
A hooded skeleton conjuring a grimoire, in six colorways. The acid green GRIMOIRE Toxic is the loudest, while Nightshade purple is easier to wear every day. It belongs with ripped jeans, a chain belt and combat boots.
8. For the goth who's always cold: NOCTURNE
Gothic stained glass with bat wings rising across the back, on heavyweight acid-wash fleece. The NOCTURNE hoodie is oversized, soft and very easy to steal, so you might want two. Browse all our hoodies.
9. For the psychedelic witch: THRESHOLD
An arcane doorway with a third eye, violet stone, mushrooms and flowers, under the line "An open mind opens doors." The THRESHOLD hoodie (also available as a tee) is for the friend who checks their birth chart before making plans.
10. For the tattoo lover: THORN
A traditional tattoo-flash dagger wrapped in roses and laurel, set inside a gothic stained-glass window. The THORN tee is for anyone with a tattoo appointment booked or a flash sheet saved on their phone.
How to choose the right size for a gift
- Everything is cut oversized and unisex, so it works for women and men.
- Not sure? Go with their usual size. That gives the relaxed, drapey fit the pieces are designed for.
- Size down if they prefer a closer, boxier fit.
- Exact measurements are in our size guide.
