Amidst a sea of similar-sounding vampire movies and series, like Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it might seem like The Vampire Diaries would get overshadowed by the ardor of other fandoms. However, the hit teen drama based on a popular '90s book series of the same name was a beloved program that lasted eight seasons. It became the CW's flagship show in fact and delivered as much angsty romance and fang-filled thrills as viewers could get.
It followed the bittersweet love triangle between Elena Gilbert and Stefan and Damon Salvatore, their supernatural adventures in Mystic Falls, Virginia, and the balance that had to be struck between leading a seemingly normal teenage life and concealing dark secrets. Aside from The Vampire Diaries, fans can enjoy its two spin-offs, The Originals and Legacies. Here's a gift guide for lovers of all things related to the smash hit show!

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES DAMON SALVATORE SHIRT
Some fans are Team Stefan and some are Team Damon, but there’s no denying that whomever you choose, each had their own special contribution to making The Vampire Diaries the groundbreaking supernatural drama that it was for eight seasons. This shirt happens to feature the mysterious maverick Damon Salvatore, older brother of Stefan, and one-third of Elena Gilbert’s troublesome love triangle.
Portrayed by enigmatic star Ian Somerhalder, Damon Salvatore was Mystic Fall’s resident bad boy Elena Gilbert hated to love. Not completely bad and not completely good, he complicated her relationship with Stefan when he fell in love with her, believing her to be the identical likeness to his deceased lover Katherine Pierce.

Whether you’re looking to complete your Elena Gilbert cosplay or just looking to convey your love for all things Vampire Diaries, this locket is a perfect way to do so. A slightly more modern take on the iconic necklace (Esther’s talisman) worn by Elena in the series, it doesn’t need to resemble an old antique to convey all the majesty and beauty of its namesake.
Made from real sterling silver (with the 925 stamp inside), this locket outshines all inferior alternatives and is well worth the price for its secure locking mechanism, heft, and durability. Give it as a gift to your favorite Vampire Diaries fan or keep it for your own private collection of keepsakes.
MYSTIC FALLS TIMBERWOLVES COFFEE MUG
Want to show some school pride for Mystic Falls High School without having to wear a cumbersome sweater or other spirit gear every day? Try this Mystic Falls coffee mug, which lets you show your Timberwolves pride and your love for The Vampire Diaries at the same time.
Luckily for you, you don’t have to wear a daylight ring to be able to cruise down to the kitchen in the morning and pour yourself a cup of coffee in this mug (sorry Stefan and Damon). It features “Mystic Falls” lettering as well as “The Vampire Diaries” and a picture of a snarling Timberwolf, the mascot of the high school Elena Gilbert attends.
KATHERINE'S CAMEO NECKLACE
Now you can pretend you’re in the middle of a steamy love triangle with this cameo necklace that is an exact replica of the one once owned by Katherine Pierce (aka Katerina Petrova) from The Vampire Diaries. The lover of both Stefan and Damon Salvatore, she was responsible for turning them into the vampires they are throughout the series.
Katherine’s role throughout the series hasn’t always been well received, especially given her entanglement with the Lockwoods, but she pledged to defend her descendent Elena Gilbert, who bears a striking resemblance to her. Things go south however when she starts toying with the Salvatore boys again.
