Having a hard time finding just the right gift for the cryptid lover on your list? Check out CryptoVille’s suggestions from all over the web. Hopefully they’ll help you find just the right gift for your special someone!
I’m running a little late with my list of gift suggestions, but hopefully it’s not too late! This year I tried to find gifts from sources other than Etsy! LOL!! I know in recent years I overloaded my lists with products from their website, but I can’t help it – I love Etsy!
Please note: I am not associated or affiliated with any of these vendors, nor am I being paid to represent their products. What I’ve selected are items that I thought were nice and hopefully you will too!
I’d love to hear what you think of the suggestions. Are there types of products and/or cryptids that you’d like me to look for in future? Please share what you’re looking for in the comments section below or email me at visitcryptoville@gmail.com!
Let’s begin!
- Alien Trivet
Got something too hot to handle? Give it to this friendly alien! Made in lovely desert themed colors, which you might expect since it’s coming from Roswell’s UFO Museum! A great bargain, as well as a practical gift!
- Garden Art Dragon, 3 pieces
I love this garden art and the exciting part is it comes in two sizes – 8 x18.5” and 10.5 x 25” not including stakes! In addition, you can choose from 9 colors and each piece is covered with their rust and weather-resistant baked-on powder coating. Handcrafted in Texas.
Available in two sizes: 8” x 18.5” and 10.5” by 25” – not including stakes.
- 3 Sprouts Dragon Book Rack – Kids Storage Shelf
For the little ones on your list – how about a nice friendly dragon on a storage shelf organizer? The dimensions are (in inches): 24.5 deep x 10 wide x 24 high.
Can be used for books, toys, stuffed animals, shoes, and anything else you’d like your child to help organize.
- Dragonstone Goblet
This gorgeous goblet looks like a museum piece!
According to the website, “An age of dragons and warriors come alive in this stunning goblet. Made of a resin, this chalice has been antiqued to give it the look and feel of carved stone. Celtic knotwork, blood red accents and three artificial red jewels give this cup the finishing touch.
It has a removable stainless steel inner cup making it easy for cleaning. Holds 7 oz. of your favorite beverage.
Measures: 7-1/2″ tall”

- Octopus Lantern
Here’s an amazing lantern of a large Octopus (Cthulu’s relative perhaps) holding three lanterns. The whole piece is constructed of aluminum, iron, and glass. You can put the small votive candles in each lantern for a beautiful night effect!
The whole piece measures 18” wide x 13.5” deep x 15” high.
Given that it’s made of such sturdy materials, you may be able to use it outside once the nicer weather reappears. I’m imagining it on a back porch at night, candles flickering, lending a nice cryptid ambience no matter where you live!
- Sasquatch BBQ Spices Giftset
Are you ready for a variety pack of delicious spices fit for a Sasquatch BBQ? Then may I suggest you try these?
Black Gold is a black truffle specialty rub. They suggest shaking some on your beef dishes. Contains black truffles, garlic, onion, chiles, and salt & herbs.
Erubtion was made in tribute to the 40th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in 1980. They describe it as a “robust mix of savory, smoky, and spicy … created through the use of brown sugar, honey, onion, chile pepper, garlic, tomato powder, paprika, hickory smoked salt, natural apple powder, and mustard.
Mother Plucker which was designed to bring out the best in your chicken is made with garlic, paprika, onion, lemon peel, and hickory smoked salt. Good for chicken, but also duck, soups, veggies, eggs and just about anything else you’ve got cooking!
Stinger is a sweeter blend that finishes with a kick from a hot chile! It’s made with honey granules, molasses granules, cinnamon, allspice, coriander, and a little Morita Chipotle chili powder. They recommend it for pork, chicken, sweet potatoes, shrimp, butternut squash, and maybe some “adventurous desserts!”

The base of the chalice features scrollwork and cross-hatched sections with Celtic knots between purple rhinestones.

- Bigfoot’s Mighty Brew
No, we’re not talking moonshine here, but that other indispensable liquid most people need to start their morning – coffee!
The company describes it this way, “Bigfoot’s Mighty Brew is just that, mighty good! When brewed, this elusive recipe is earthy, mellow, and rich. It is vibrant and strong just like the big guy and of course plushy and full bodied. According to Bigfoot, it tastes best when brewed with fresh Cascadian water – river, waterfall or glacier, he likes them all!”
Made in Washington state.

- Cat from Outer Space DVD
This charming old movie from Disney is one that shouldn’t be missed. Kids aren’t the only ones who will love the charm and “magic” that Disney always provided in their old movies.
Basically, the plot revolves around an extraterrestrial cat named Jake. He crash-lands on Earth and attracts the attention of a physicist and his girlfriend. Soon trouble and complications ensue with Jake providing most of the hilarity.
The movie features Ken Berry, Sandy Duncan and both colonels from the hit show M*A*S*H, Henry Blake and Sherman Potter.
A fun movie to watch on a cold winter’s night!
- Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow Game
Don’t rush to judgement on this! The game has earned an average of 4.5 stars out of 1,682 ratings on Amazon, so it must have something going for it.
Here’s what the description says, “Can you find the werewolves before it’s too late? The tiny hamlet of Millers Hollow is beset by monstrous enemies hidden in their midst. Organize the townsfolk and uncover the evil in disguise, so that you can kill the beasts before they claim the entire town, and bring eternal silence to the town forever. Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow is a game that takes place in a small village which is haunted by werewolves. Each player is secretly assigned a role – Werewolf, Ordinary Townsfolk, or special character such as The Sheriff, The Hunter, the Witch, the Little Girl, The Fortune Teller and so on… This Murder Mystery Game is perfect for any game night.”
