As Broadway enthusiasts, it’s no surprise that we’re all about the Broadway-themed swag. Our desks (and let’s be honest, our homes) are decked out with signed Playbills, tchotchkes, and clothing that represent the shows we hold most near and dear to us. You can, of course, visit the merchandise stand the next time you see a show, but we’ve put together this handy gift guide for you or the Broadway lover in your life. The best part: everything on this list is $50 or less!

Beetlejuice
Based on the dearly beloved film of the same name, Beetlejuice tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. Should you feel the need to make contact with the spirits yourself, you can get this beautifully made Ouija board… just don’t say the “B word” three times.

Head over to the famed Serendipity 3 restaurant, located at 225 E 60th Street and indulge in their Outrageous Banana Split. You’re going to want to bring a few friends to share this one with, this dessert is Kong sized!
