Bday present for my friend involving everyone...

[timbitsmama]

Hi guys,

My friend's birthday is in a month and I want to put together something for her that is totally special, unique, creative, and cheap. I'm going to get her a nice scrapbook box from the dollar store and make her a Slayer's Box! Here's what I have so far:
-Mr. Pointy
-A map of LA
-"Holy" water (no disrespect to religion or anything)
-A cross necklace (this will be the thing I spend the money on)
-A letter from Giles telling her that she is the newly appointed slayer
-A little lipstick and breath mints for if she ever meets Angel or Spike 😉
-A little flashlight
-Angel's business card in case she ever needs helping
-The gem of Amara (A cute little cheapie ring I have)

And I'm also including a handbook with the following:
-The basics of slaying
-A list and info about each major vampire in BTVS and Angel
-A list and info about important demons portrayed throughout both series
-A comparison and highlights of both Sunnydale and LA
-A list and info about each major villain in both the series

......So, anything else I should add? Ideas or improvements? I'd love to have opinions!!!

There are also several pocket sized manuals at places like Barnes & Nobel that cover vampires and assorted demons and, of course, the ever popular zombies.

The Slayers Handbook RPG is pretty much for the Buffy RPG, you'll only get so much out of it without the Core rulesbook, (its still a good read) and its kind of expensive at that.

I would recommend 'The Complete Slayer' and 'Hollywood Vampire', two episodes guides written by Keith Topping which are incredible well-written, witty, packed with trivia and behind the scenes stuff, and both are reasonably cheap. 🙂

Other than that, your list seems very comprehensive, It's a great idea for a gift! 🙂

Good Luck!

Great present! Would love to receive something like this from a friend.

Just one thing though, Giles wouldn't have written to Buffy telling her she's the new slayer as he wasn't her original watcher.
