The Best Movie Gifts
- Many movie lovers enjoy catching the latest movies the moment they are released. Frequently visiting the movie theater can be an expensive hobby and savings can be made with a member's pass. Select a gift certificate that allows the holder to watch a specified number of movies in a month. A pass to his local movie theater will be a practical and appreciated gift that will last longer than the day of his birthday or holiday.
- Popcorn and snacks form part of the overall experience at the movie theater and can sometimes be forgotten when watching a movie at home. Put together a gift basket of must-have movie treats such as popcorn, soda and candy. Look for items that have a long use-by-date rather than those with a short shelf life. If your budget is a little bigger, a home popcorn-making machine will give him and his friends the real movie theater experience during home film nights.
- Movie memorabilia comes in all sorts of forms. From movie-themed mugs, t-shirts and posters to his own director's chair complete with name, what you select will depend upon his tastes and your budget. If he has an all-time favorite movie, an actor's signed edition or limited edition artwork may become a treasured collector's item. Online auction sites and music and movie stores often have a range of inexpensive movie gifts and memorabilia.
- For film buffs who love behind-the-scenes gossip, in-depth director interviews or the latest movie news, a magazine subscription to a well-known movie magazine will help to keep him up-to-date with industry news. Magazines such as "Premiere" or "Moviemaker Magazine" should cater to his interests. Alternatively, purchase an in-depth movie book that looks at the 100 greatest movies of all time, or lists the best movies in his favorite genre, if you are unsure of whether he currently subscribes to a movie magazine.
