Local Geek Gift Ideas – Monster Edition [Gifts]
Time to showcase some locally made geek gift ideas!
Today I’ll share what I’ve found in the Arizona world of monsters and the macabre.
Take a few minutes and visit their online stores. You may find something unique, fun, and local to give.
Steamcrow
Our Peoria friends, Steamcrow, have decided that the world of monsters needs to be exposed. Perfect if you think your friends would like a mix of diesel-punk and owl-bears.
Share their knowledge of these abominations with their books about monsters, or show your mind-sucking love for someone with this I Lovecraft You shirt. They also make some pretty keen pins & brooches.
Killhouettes
Do you have that one friend/family member who’s kinda sick and twisted? Maybe someone with a tense marriage?
Try Tempe based Killhouettes, which are exactly what they sound like.
I have a dark sense of humor myself and laughed out loud at some of them, while raising an eyebrow at others. I suppose your tastes will have to factor in.
They sell prints, postcards, and even some jewelry, it would appear.
Madame M
If you’re looking for some creepy little bedtime stories, Madame M could be right up your alley.
She has colorful, horror-tinged products for kids of any age, illustrated books, paper-dolls, and morbid greeting cards.
Madame M also makes comic books, including her latest, Glamour Ghouls.
Zed’s Zombie Ranch
Based out of Bisbee, this Etsy store has some pretty great zombie stuff and fun little metal skeleton sculptures.
Lots of zombie metal things, like this:

Deck The Halls With Local Geek Stuff! [Help]
While preparing for our annual attack from Neptune’s Robot Santa (and his paradox-absorbing head), you may also be preparing to spread holiday cheer.
I’d like to help you find something unique for the geeks in your life, and support local creators at the same time.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll be spotlightning (oh, I said it!) fun and original geek gift ideas made by Arizonans throughout the month, and I could use your help.
If you know of anything I should share, and think I might not be aware of it, please let me know!
Comment, shoot me an email, say something on Facebook, or tweet me on Twitter.
Please don’t be shy – shameless self-promotion will be accepted for the time being…
It’s a Life Day miracle!
