Movie-themed gift ideas. Yes, it’s that time of year again where you’ve more than likely left gift buying to the very last minute for that movie lover in your life and now you’re panicking with a plethora of gifts still to buy.
Of those friends, colleagues and family members that you’ve still got to cover, chances are (considering that you’re reading this) that you’ve got a movie buff to buy for – not the easiest of tasks, we know.
This is where the self-doubt and the nagging internal questions kick in. What movies do they like? Are they a fan of Star Wars or was it Star Trek that they love so much? Should I buy them a boxset? Do people even own DVD players anymore? Someone help!?
First of all, take a deep breath, everything is going to be okay. Second of all, we’re now in this together and we’ve got some of the very best movie-themed gift ideas to share this Christmas.
Let’s call it our gift to you, don’t worry, we don’t expect anything in return…
Beauty and the Beast – Preserved rose in glass dome
First up on the list, it’s something for the Disney lovers, we know that there’s plenty of them out there, so they shouldn’t be too difficult to find one.
The preserved rose in a glass dome from Beauty and the Beast, recently featured on GiftWits, is one of the most iconic pieces of Disney memorabilia the world has ever seen. Now, thanks to “Puto”, you can buy your favorite Disney fan one of their very own.
Looked after correctly, the rose will have a lifespan between 3 and 5 years so it’ll be a good few Christmases worth of decoration for the gift-receiver. There’s no watering involved in this maintenance-free flower, it’s just a case of admiring every single day.
Kool8 – Stainless steel water bottle
Next up on the list, somewhat of a curveball with a gift that isn’t exactly movie-related, but stay with me, there’s a method to the madness.
If your movie buff pal loves the trilogies and the movie marathons, they’re going to need to stay hydrated with their favorite drinks, sip away on a great blend of tea or even stay alert with some strong, strong coffee. The best way to do this? By using a high-quality, stainless steel water bottle.
The best of the bunch comes from Kool8 and is available in three great colors to suit just about anybody’s tastes. The bottle itself utilizes double-walled vacuum tech to keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks for 12, plenty of time stay up with a Harry Potter movie marathon. It even comes with a tea-infuser making it easier than ever for tea drinkers to sip away on their favorite beverages.
But it’s not just a gift for a friend that you’ll be buying with the bottle as Kool8 uses 20% of all profits to supply those in the most underprivileged areas with water bottles and clean drinking water.
It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Back to the Future – “OUTATIME” license plate
If there’s one movie that absolutely everybody, and I mean everybody, adores, it’s Back to the Future.
This Christmas classic captures that magic of the 1980s projection of the future fantastically and with everything from flying cars, time travel and a crazy “Doc” featured – it’ll go down in history (ironically) as one of the greatest of all time. With that in mind, it’s only right to get a little gift to treat those that love the movie with a little memorabilia, and there’s not a lot better than the OUTATIME license plate.
The license plate, offered by “Celebrity Machines”, is a perfect screen accurate plate with metal stamped, embossed aluminum construction in the California style. Turn any car into the Delorean and head back to the future with the perfect gift for any film-lover. Just in time to catch all of the movies on Christmas Day.
Twinkle in Time – Personalized star map
Remember that original debate you were having with yourself, the one about Star Wars and Star Trek? Yeah that one, have you remembered which? Thought not.
There’s only one thing for – a generic outer-space gift that’ll cover all out-of-this-world movies. If it’s Interstellar, Gravity, Apollo 11 or just about anything else that you know that they love, the Twinkle in Time personalized star map is the perfect gift.
The 18″x24″ map is one of the greatest gifts, not because of it’s space theme, but for the personal appeal. Head over to the site and you’ll be asked to add a number of options including a special date, location and personalized message (as well as some styling options). These build a fantastic art piece for the home, but the clever stuff has only just started.
With the special date and location chosen, the Twinkle In Time software sets in motion to show exactly what the stars looked like on that chosen date and in that special location. Add a meaningful caption and you’ve won the “Present of the Year Award”.
Castaway – Wilson volleyball
Last, but by no means least, on our list, we’ve got the most famous volleyball in the entire world, thanks to Tom Hanks, “Wilson”.
The hand-painted (get it?) Volleyball was the real star of the movie “Castaway” and has lead to countless “Willlllssssooooooooonnnnnnn” jokes since its release in 2000. The ball, unfortunately, doesn’t talk but it will be arriving by UPS as one witty seller-reply states “Wilson won’t be traveling by FedEx again”, but, if the weather’s right, “he may be able to raft”.
Jokes aside, the ball is a perfect addition to any Christmas gift list and for any real movie-lover, they’ll instantly fall in love with the gift. Whether it’s intended as a simple memorabilia piece or a genuine functioning volleyball, there’s nothing that Wilson can’t do. He’ll become your best friend and keep smiling by your side in the dark days.
Everybody needs a volleyball they can rely on, don’t you think?
