Bargainist Gift Guide: The Wizard of Oz Fans

Nearly 75 years ago The Wizard of Oz hit the big screen and it’s been mesmerizing audiences ever since. Dorothy’s puff-sleeved blouse and blue gingham pinafore will be going up for auction next month. The Hollywood relic is expected to sell for a half million dollars or more. Thankfully there are some more budget-friendly options for the Wizard of Oz fans in your life.
