Five Star Gift Ideas

If your dad enjoys indie films, there are many thoughtful and unique Christmas gift options that cater to this interest. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Subscription to IndieFlix - IndieFlix is an online streaming platform for independent films. If your dad hasn't already subscribed, you could sign him up for a year's worth of access to a wide variety of films that he's sure to enjoy.

2. Indie Film Festival Pass - Consider purchasing tickets to an upcoming indie film festival near your dad's area. Many festivals offer passes that allow attendees to see multiple films over several days. This would be a great way for your dad to immerse himself in the indie film scene and experience new films.

3. Criterion Collection Box Set - The Criterion Collection is a curated selection of classic and contemporary films, including many indie films. You could purchase a box set of films that your dad may not have seen yet, or a collection of his favorites for him to own and watch at will.

4. Indie Film Coffee Table Book - For the dad who likes to flip through a book and learn more about indie films, there are many coffee table books available that feature stills, behind-the-scenes stories, and interviews. Two great examples are "Spike Mike Reloaded: A Tribute to the Films of Spike Lee and Michael Moore" by David Felton and "Shooting to Kill: How an Independent Producer Blasts Through the Barriers to Make Movies That Matter" by Christine Vachon.

5. Film-Themed Wine Set - Sometimes it's nice to enjoy a glass of wine while watching a film. You can consider purchasing a wine set with a film theme, such as a set of wines that correspond to different genres of film, or even a set of wines named after famous film directors.

6. Independent Film Poster - If your dad has a favorite indie film, consider getting him a framed poster of the movie. This is a great way to add some personality and style to his office, den, or movie room.

7. DIY Film Festival - For a more personal gift, you could curate your own film festival of your dad's favorite indie films. Pick a few that you know he loves, cook some snacks, and create a cozy atmosphere for him to indulge in his hobby. This will be a special and thoughtful gift that he is sure to appreciate.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
