Twilight Gift Guide
By Stephanie Lenz
Christmas trees, jingle bells, Santa Claus, and vampires? Unless you've been living under a rock for the past several weeks, you've no doubt heard of Twilight, which was a huge box-office success. The movie is based on the first book of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling series about a clumsy, ordinary girl who falls in love with a handsome "vegetarian" vampire.
Whether you know someone who liked the movie, loves the books, or is completely obsessed with both, our guide will help you find that perfect gift. And no matter what you decide to buy, here's a bonus gift that won't cost you anything but will bring big rewards: Sign your favorite fan up for an Amazon Twilight DVD Alert so he or she will hear the breaking news firsthand.
