Fun Gift Ideas for Film Lovers
In theory, movie lovers should be easy to shop for since you know what they enjoy. The problem is they probably already own all the DVD collections and other obvious items that go along with their favourite films. Here are clever present ideas that will take your gift-giving beyond the expected.
- 1. Interactive Gifts
After watching films repeatedly, what’s the next step? Why not help movie lovers bring their favourite movie to life? Celebrity face masks can give them a chance to take on the persona of various movie characters or even act out scenes. Sets of masks can be a fun addition to a costume party or a movie night. Purchase a lifesized cardboard version of their favourite movie characters so that they can set the stage for their favourite films within their home or office.
Games are another wonderful way to celebrate movies. Think beyond video games. Board games are available for a wide number of different movies. From trivia to adventure-based action, these are sure to perk up any party. These games have also become popular collectables for serious movie buffs. Everything from film-based versions of Monopoly to games designed specifically around various movies are options. If they are fans of many movies, look for Trivia Pursuit and other trivia-based games that cover a broad range of different films. This will help movie lovers put their knowledge to use while they outplay the competition.
- 2. Wear the Movies
As much as many people love movies, they aren’t always into collectables, knickknacks, and other movie memorabilia. That makes wearable gifts a particularly great gift idea. Movie-themed t-shirts can be worn on the weekend or at the gym. They can be a fun conversation starter or just great to wear for a night hanging out with friends.
Movie-themed baseball-style caps are another good gift for movie lovers. The hats can be worn anywhere and are perfect for a weekend or a jog around the park. They can also be a nice rebuttal to the sports-related caps everyone else might be wearing.
Key chains are always available for the top movie franchises. Backpacks are also a popular way to display images from movies, particularly the most recent cartoon or action movie. Purses can even sometimes be found with pictures from films.
- 3. Case for the Movies
Mobile phones can provide a good opportunity for gifts. Smartphone cases become worn or people become bored with them. They can make a movie-themed smartphone case the perfect gift. Movie lovers can even swap out cases whenever they feel like it. That can make it easy for them to enjoy cases with images from several different films.
- 4. Car Humour
Most of us spend a lot of time behind the wheel. If the movie lovers in your life drive, a gift related to their vehicles could be a great idea. Look online or in speciality stores for stickers from their favourite films. “My other car is a Death Star” could make tailgaters think twice about their driving habits. A line of zombie outlines could portray the members of his or her family or an image of Stitch starring out a back window could make everyone smile. From Disney to science fiction, there is a wide range of options available to make the daily commute a little more interesting for film buffs.
