Have a Goth friend with tastes that are far more macabre than yours? Despite popular stereotypes, Goths can be fun to hang out with, even if you don’t always understand their obsession with all things black. Goths can be particularly tough to give gifts to. What if they are offended by the rainbow coloured shirt you got? If you have Goth friends, here are several brief guidelines on how to find gifts for them: Choose Black Black is the “happy” colour for Goths. So regardless of what you are buying, if it’s black, then your friend will love it (most of the time at least). In other words, when in doubt, go with black. If you are buying clothes, jewellery, or personal items, pick them in a dark shade to impress your Goth friend. This rule applies to everything except plain t-shirts. Your Goth friend would have countless black tees so you are not getting him or her anything new. When it comes to t-shirts, choose a literally horrifying print. With everything else, favour dark shades.
