As I published and shared my previous gift list for some spooky themed items, the wheels in my head started spinning! I started writing another list of stuff, and then realized that I had enough Poe items for a list of its own! My tell-tale heart started beating with glee!
So here you have it, Gift Ideas for the Poe Fan! Enjoy
1 - Poe Signature Wine Glass - www.literaturelodge.com
This wine glass over at Literature Lodge is etched with Poe's actual signature! And while you're on the site, I suggest taking some time to browse around, as they have wonderful gift items for many other beloved authors and a few more for Poe.
2 - Edgar Allan Poe-ka Dot Socks - www.outofprintclothing.com
The Out of Print Clothing website has a few "Poe-ka Dot" items including a tote bag, mug, scarf and these socks which are my absolute fave of the collection. I own a pair.
3 - Any item or items from the Poe House Museums.
Edgar Allan Poe was well traveled in his short lifespan, he lived in a few different houses that have since been turned into museums; and most of those museums' gift shops have online items to buy! It's hard to pick just one item from the shops because there are SO many fun Poe trinkets available. Visit each link to take a peek.
Baltimore, Maryland Poe House Museum Shop
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Poe House Museum Shop
This one's a little different as this house is on the National Register and doesn't necessarily have a "Poe House Gift Shop" but I did find some items from that store on the National Park's Website, the link will take you there.
Richmond, Virginia Poe House Museum Shop
The Bronx, New York Poe Cottage Museum Shop
4 - Poe Bandages
I can't get enough of these bandages, so simple and so fun. I like to think about what Poe would think of such a thing but anyhoo, an item like this makes a great stocking stuffer or add on to any gift.
You can find them at any of these retailers:
Archie Mcphee
Entertainment Earth
Amazon
5 - J.W. Ocker's 'Poe-Land' - www.oddthingsiveseen.com
Yes, if you read my previous list of spooky items for the holidays you'll have seen this book there too, but I have to feature this text on THIS LIST as I've actually used it and taken it with me to Maryland, Pennsylvania and South Carolina so far! The book basically follows Poe's travels in life and Ocker does a great job of keeping each location in it's individual chapter with pictures of some of the sites, which makes it ridiculously easy to use on your own Poe-venture. Each chapter not only points out a Poe-specific spot, but they all come with a bit of history too. Ocker starts off the book talking about his love for Poe and how he got into his Poe-venture. So if you're a Poe fan....YOU NEED THIS BOOK. If you know a Poe fan....THEY NEED THIS BOOK.
You can buy it on Amazon.
6 - Goth Stan Funko Pop!
There isn't an official Edgar Allan Poe Funko Pop! and whether or not you like the television show South Park, this little guy is great for what he is. A brooding, goth kid wearing a Poe shirt. Poe's face is on the front of his shirt with the word "Nevermore" and a raven is featured on the back. Any Poe fan will most likely get a kick out of this figure and enjoy adding him to their collection. The figure is a Hot Topic exclusive and as of this posting date, currently out of stock on Hot Topic's website, BUT I keep this on the list because I saw a bunch of him in my local HT store the other day, which means he could be in yours as well and if you google "Goth Stan Funko Pop" you'll find other places to purchase. There are a few on ebay, new in package for normal price.
7 - Poe Playing Cards
In a few Poe searches I've come across these gorgeous Poe-themed Bicycle playing cards. Maybe your Poe fan loves to play Poe-ker (had to say it) or other card games. What I enjoy about this deck is that each card looks like it's got a theme from a Poe story. The caption in the product description on MagicTrickStore.com reads "This Limited Edition deck of 54 playing cards is derived from such Poe
classics as "The Masque of the Red Death", "Murders on the Rue Morgue",
"The Tell-Tale Heart", and "The Black Cat" as well as some of his more
obscure works that true Poe fans will immediately recognize such as
"Hop-Frog", "The Gold Bug", "The Oval Portrait", and "Berenice"."
I found the cards at these websites:
Amazon
Wal-Mart
Magic Trick Store
ebay
8 - Raven Beer - www.ravenbeer.com
Raven Beer is a brewery located in Baltimore, Maryland. and they have released a few different Poe-themed ales. I personally don't like beer but I'll admit I have a few bottles in my collection simply for the art work and bottle caps. I had found a few single bottles at a Binny's Beverage Store. Check the website for Raven Beer merch as they have pint glasses, shirts and more! Also check to see where you can get the brew for a Poe fan.
9 - Poe Puzzle - etsy.com/shop/DrawnByHolly
I found this AMAZING jigsaw puzzle designed by artist Holly Carden on etsy and HAD to include it. The drawing is called "Edgar Allan Poe Macabre Mansion" and each room of the mansion features a scene from a different Poe story along with a room featuring Edgar himself!

11 - Poe Secular Saint Candle Find it on Amazon
12 - Poe Art!
