4 Gift Ideas for Ghost-Lovers | Gift Guide

What do you get the person who loves all things ghosts, hauntings and spooky?

Ghost-lovers can be hard to shop for, but if you’re not finding what you need at the Edinburgh Christmas Market, look no further. 

We’ve created a gift guide for the ghost-lover in your life, from unique experiences to take them on to souvenirs from the most haunted place in Scotland. 

And if you join us on tour this December, you’ll receive a 20% discount on everything in our gift shop, including all the ghostly finds you could possibly need! 

 

1. Ghost Tour of the UK’s Most Haunted Places 

In Edinburgh, there are so many tours to choose: from a haunted graveyard tour to a ghost tour focusing on storytelling by candlelight. 

Whichever you choose, you’ll get to explore the Blair Street Underground Vaults to uncover the dark side of Edinburgh. 

Either book tickets for them or purchase a gift voucher and let them choose the perfect tour. 

 

 

2. Handmade Worrywart Ghost 

These little stress-relieving creatures are inspired by Guatemalan worry dolls and handcrafted by Scottish artist Zoë Scott. 

Each Worrywart is one-of-a-kind, tactile and perfectly sized to sit in the palm of your hand. They’re the perfect desk accessory or fidget toy for anyone wanting to add a little haunted whimsy to their everyday. 

 

 

3. A Book of Ghost Stories 

Is there anything better than picking up a book and being transported right into a story? 

There’s a book for every mood, from collections of real stories of Scotland to deep dives into the country’s dark history. 

One of our favourites is Des Brogan’s Ghostly Tales & Sinister Stories of Old Edinburgh. You might even be able to find a signed copy or two in our gift shop! Or if you want something lighter, everyone loves Horrible Histories.

 

 

4. A (Maybe) Haunted Candle 

These vegan, soy-based candles are made from wax reclaimed from those that once illuminated the Edinburgh Vaults. 

Who knows what the wax holds after burning underground in one of the most haunted places in the UK. Whether you decide to light their wicks or use them to decorate a bookshelf, hopefully these ghosts will always remind you of Edinburgh.
