Fan Faves: Top 10 Gift Ideas for True Blood Fans
We bring you to the sultry and supernatural world of True Blood, HBO’s riveting series that thrusts viewers into a Louisiana town where vampires, werewolves, and telepaths coexist with humans. Created by Alan Ball, this show transcends the typical vampire genre with its blend of sensuality, mystery, and social commentary.
As fans navigate the twists and turns of Bon Temps, we’ve curated the 10 best True Blood gifts that pay homage to the allure and intrigue of the series. From vampire-inspired accessories to bewitching mementos, each True Blood gift captures the essence of the show’s seductive charm and the complexities of living in a world where the supernatural is anything but ordinary
Blood Bags
Long time collectors of True Blood memorabilia can tell you how hard it is to find an authentic bottle of True Blood these days. A good alternative True Blood gift for a fan who still wants to live that vampire experience are these drink-safe blood bags. They’re great for watch parties, or to add an extra element of fun to a solo viewing. Fans can fill the bags with some of their favorite merlot, and then sit and pretend to hate the taste of True Blood right alongside their favorite vampires.
The vampires of Louisiana had better watch out; Sookie’s coming.
In this scene from True Blood’s Season 2 Episode 3, Sookie’s defiance takes center stage as she fearlessly slaps Eric at Fangtasia. If we didn’t know if before, this is the point where fans found out that Sookie was truly fearless where her friends were concerned. A Fangtasia-themed gift, such as the T-shirt Sookie wears, or some retractable fangs that pop out just like Eric’s, are both great options for True Blood gifts for a fan in your life.
Retractable Fangs
The vampires of the True Blood universe are unique in a lot of ways, but what most sets them apart from other vampires in popular media are the mechanics of their fans; much like a snake, their fangs sit tucked behind their incisors, and they pop out whenever need. It provides a lot of extra drama in tense scenes, and it makes the otherwise very modern vampires feel very animalistic. Regular prop fangs just won’t do for a True Blood fan; they’ll need a set of these retractable fangs to make them feel part of their favorite series.
Official True Blood perfume
This isn’t too well known, but back when the series was still airing, the True Blood franchise actually produced its own cosmetics line, including a perfume; “Forsaken” by True Blood. The scent is described as addictive and opulent; its notes include blood orange, ebony and the Queen of the Night flower. And the gorgeous packaging is really to die for. As far as True Blood gifts go, it’s hard to find a classier or more surprising option.
Fangtasia T-shirt
So many iconic True Blood scenes take place in Eric Northman’s vampire bar, Fangtasia. It’s a great symbol for the coexistence of human and vampire kind; in the end, we all just want to grab a drink and party. It’s just the drinks that are different. This True Blood gift is a Fangtasia t-shirt whose design is exactly like the ones seen sold in the bar on the show. With this gift, a True Blood fan might feel like they actually made it down to the vampire bar themselves; they just had too good a time to remember it.
True Blood Cook Book
Presumably, the True Blood fan this gift is meant for can’t drink human blood, synthetic or otherwise. What a great alternative this True Blood Cook Book is! It has 35 recipes inspired by the show, taken from the Fangtasia and Merlotte’s menus, and even Adele’s own kitchen. Fans can make their own pecan pies to cry into!
Devil in a Sunday hat sounds pretty good.
Lafayette’s encounter with Eggs in this scene really shows the character’s attitude, confidence and that specific energy that is so hard to put your finger on. Actually, every scene with Layfayette is like that; he’s a fan favorite for a reason. Nelson Ellis took a character that really didn’t exist much in the books, and infused him with so much charm and pride. The actor’s passing in 2017 hit the fan base hard, but we’re grateful to still have his performance as Lafayette Reynolds. A True Blood gift that fans of the show will enjoy and that we feel embodies the Lafayette spirit is an iced-out initial necklace like the one he wears; personalized to your fan!
Lafayette’s Necklace
Ah, Lafayette. What can we say about Lafayette. A fan favorite, this character is iconic, bombastic, relatable…really, the character is just everything to fans. Of all of the people on this show, Lafayette is the one to emulate. His personal style might be a bit too intense for fans to copy entirely, but his “L” necklace, on the other hand, is just accessible but bold enough to really pay tribute to Lafayette and give True Blood fans a taste of that same joie de vivre. Personalize it with the initial of the fan you’re giving it to; Lafayette would be proud to see them living out loud.
Merlottes’s T-shirt
Sookie has a lot of great Southern looks in the show, but arguably the most iconic look would be her Merlotte’s waitress uniform. It’s a muted white t-shirt, but anyone who has seen the series will be able to clock it immediately. Gift this to a True Blood fan who likes to cosplay their favorite characters, or one who likes to display their favorite series in their day-to-day; this shirt is appropriate for both.
Fang Banger mug
If you don’t know, “Fang Banger” is a bit of a slur in the world of True Blood, referring to humans who have relationships with vampires. But any fan of the show is going to identify as a proud Fang Banger, and will be happy to display that fact while they drink their morning coffee. It’s a fun nod to their fandom, and a great way to find other True Blood fans at the morning office meeting (or at least a way to annoy HR).
The Sookie Stackhouse Books
For fans of True Blood who hated the ending (a.k.a. most fans), or who just miss seeing their favorite characters get into different, varyingly insane hijinks, consider gifting them a set of the original Sookie Stackhouse novels. The HBO adaptation may have taken a few (a.k.a. so SO many) creative liberties with the story, but they were loyal to Southern Louisiana atmosphere, and to the constant sexual chemistry between Sookie and…basically anyone she meets.
True Blood pilot script
This is a high quality print copy of the signed script for True Blood’s pilot episode “Strange Love” and shows the signatures of the main cast including Anna Paquin, Nelson Ellis, etc. Giving this gift to a True Blood fan will help take them back to a time when they were first falling in love with the show. It also gives a super fan the proof they need of their super fan status.
For fans of True Blood, we raise a blood-red glass to the unforgettable characters and gripping narratives that defined this HBO classic. These curated True Blood gifts serve as tokens of appreciation for the passionate world of Sookie Stackhouse and her supernatural counterparts. Whether you’re helping a fan indulge in a sip from a “Fang Banger” mug or embrace the mystique with some vampire (or waitress) cosplay, let these items be a reminder of their intoxicating journey through the bayou.
To fellow fans of otherworldly tales drenched in Southern Gothic allure, may these True Blood gifts keep the spirit of the series alive in their hearts-and in their homes!
