Christmas Gifts for the Movie Buff in Your Life
Most people love a good movie, but not everyone is a movie buff. Movie buffs spend most of their free time watching movies, writing movie reviews, and reading information on upcoming movies. So what makes the perfect Christmas gift for a movie buff? Here are ten great Christmas ideas for the movie buff in your life.
1. Movie Posters: Most movie buffs have a favorite movie. If your movie buff loves a certain film, why not get them a poster of that film for Christmas? There are several online shops that sell nothing but movie posters, making it easy to find the perfect Christmas gift for the movie buff in your life.
2. Subscriptions: If you have a movie buff who hates going to the video store, why not get them a subscription to a video rental service this Christmas? They will be able to get several movies at once (up to 8 at a time) and can watch them at their convenience. Your movie buff won’t have to worry about returning them on time because they can keep them as long as they want and shipping is free.
3. Gift Certificates: No matter who you’re shopping for, gift certificates make a great Christmas gift. I would suggest you get your movie buff a gift certificate to Amazon, this Christmas. Amazon has thousands of movies and your movie buff is sure to find something they’ll love.
4. Gift Baskets: You can make a great gift basket this Christmas for the movie buff in your life. Buy a large bowl, their favorite brand of popcorn, a bottle of their favorite soft drink, a large glass, boxes of candy like you find at the theater (these can be found at Wal-Mart), a DVD they’ll enjoy, and a gift certificate to Pizza Hut so they can have some pizza delivered while they’re watching movies.
5. Themes: This Christmas, find out your movie buffs favorite film then find several gifts that match up with that film. For example, if your movie buff loves Harry Potter, buy them several Harry Potter items, such as the books (if they don’t have them), an autograph of their favorite character, a t-shirt from the movie, a poster, etc. This can be done with every film; it just takes a little imagination.
6. DVD Storage: The movie buff in your life might not have adequate storage for all their DVDs. Most movie buffs would rather spend their money on more DVDs. This Christmas why not buy them something they desperately need and help them get all those DVDs off the floor, bed, couch, etc. Find a DVD shelf that is well built and will hold several DVDs. You can find DVD shelves at stores like Family Dollar for $20.
7. Memorabilia: Most movie buffs love the items that go along with their favorite movies. This is where knowing their favorite movie comes in handy, yet again, this Christmas. You can find a wide range of movie memorabilia on eBay, ranging from movie props to t-shirts to things you never knew existed. Your movie buff will love you for taking the time to find the perfect Christmas gift.
8. Autographs: All movie buffs have a favorite star. This Christmas, find your movie buff an autograph of their favorite star. To make sure you’re getting an authentic autograph shop from places like U.A.C.C.
9. Coupons: This can be a very sweet and free Christmas gift for the movie buff in your life. Open up a word processing program and search the clip art for the word movie. Once you’ve found the perfect picture type in a message like: One day of watching all your favorite movies OR Free massage while watching your favorite movie. Get creative and come up with phrases that fit the relationship of you and your movie buff.
10. Dinner and a Movie: Another free Christmas gift idea for the movie buff in your life is dinner and a movie, but this isn’t what you’re thinking. Take their favorite movie and make a menu from that movie. For example, if the movie buff loves Titanic make them a meal that involves seafood. For a movie like Open Range, make them a hearty steak dinner or be even more authentic and make them chicken fried steak, gravy, and biscuits.
Creating the perfect Christmas gift for the movie buff in your life isn’t hard; it just takes a bit of imagination.
