When I drew your name for Secret Santa, I knew the perfect gift: the ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz. But alas, they recently sold at auction for $28 million—a smidge over my $20 budget.
Not to worry, though! I’ve scoured every nook and cranny of Oz to bring you these other legendary artifacts:
Exclusive Wizard of Oz Collectibles (Totally Not Made Up)
1. An Apple from the Sassy Talking Trees
Perfectly preserved, this apple once flew through the air at Dorothy and Scarecrow. It’s even slightly dented from impact!
2. Ashes from the Wicked Witch’s Broomstick
Scooped directly from the Witch’s Castle floor after that unfortunate combustion incident.
3. Authentic Hay from the Scarecrow
Hand-stuffed into the Scarecrow himself! Warning: May contain traces of glitter and courage.
4. A Pebble from the Yellow Brick Road
Uneven wear proves it was tread upon by Dorothy and her friends. Certified by the Munchkin Council.
5. Poppy Field Pollen
Collected during their infamous nap! Sleepy yet luxurious.
6. A Feather from a Flying Monkey
Plucked during their infamous sky battle—totally ethical and cruelty-free, of course.
7. A Bottle of “Horse of a Different Color” Shampoo
Turns your mane purple, green, or yellow depending on the light!
8. Leftover Tin Man Oil
Straight from his can, ensuring squeak-free hugs for decades.
9. Cowardly Lion’s Badge of Courage (Replica)
Because true bravery comes from within—but wearing this doesn’t hurt.
10. Wicked Witch Meltwater
Carefully jarred post-meltdown, this relic is rumored to repel flying monkeys and nosy neighbors alike.
The Gift of Oz!
While $28 million ruby slippers are out of reach, these delightful (and entirely real, trust me) relics will transport you straight to Oz.
Because sometimes, it’s the thought—and a little creative magic—that counts.
