Five Star Gift Ideas

A thoughtful and personalized birthday gift for your grandma who loves watching independent movies might be a basket filled with independent films from some of her favorite directors or actors. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Select a few DVDs or Blu-rays of movies directed by some of her favorite independent directors. Check out the selections from Criterion Collection or other specialty shops that often carry lesser-known indie films.

2. If she has a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime, consider purchasing a gift card for a few months of the service. That way she can browse and stream independent films she’s interested in watching.

3. Compile a list of upcoming independent films that she might be interested in seeing and then buy tickets to a local theater that showcases independent movies. Be sure to include a note with the tickets, detailing why you believe she’ll enjoy the particular film.

4. Create a cozy movie night basket that includes snacks and beverages, a blanket, and a gift card to a local movie theater featuring independent films. Add a card containing a personal message about how much she means to you and how excited you are to spend an evening with her watching independent films.

5. Consider buying the book version of a movie that was based on a novel along with the DVD or Blu-ray. This way she can enjoy the independent movie and then compare it to the book version.

By taking the time to think about your grandma’s love for independent films, you can find a gift that is not only unique but also something that she’ll love and cherish, and it'll be sentimental to her.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I ordered a print for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday 7 days ago and received it today. I ordered the anatomical heart one reflecting back on our first date. We love it! It is beautifully done and looks great in the living room!!!”
