Five Star Gift Ideas

If your granddaughter has a passion for classic movies, there are numerous ways you can incorporate that into a meaningful and personal gift. Here are five gift ideas that should appeal to a vintage movie buff:

1. DVD or Blu-ray Box Sets: For a movie lover, owning a collection of classic films on DVD or Blu-ray is a dream come true. Depending on your granddaughter’s tastes, you could consider box sets of films from a particular era or actor (such as classic Hollywood staples like Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant). There are many classic movie box sets available on the market, often remastered and including bonus features.

2. Film Posters and Art Prints: You can never have too much movie memorabilia in a movie lover's room, and vintage posters and art prints are the perfect decor item for fans of classic films. Search out posters from her favorite movie or decorate her room with prints of classic movies, scenes or actors. Many sites like AllPosters sell authentic reproductions of vintage movie posters.

3. Classics on Vinyl: Many classic movies have music that has gone on to become classics in there own right. If your granddaughter has a vinyl record player and is a fan of classic movies, then gifting her the vinyl versions of the movie soundtracks is a wonderful choice. Consider Soundtracks like “Casablanca”, “Singin’ in the Rain” and “The Wizard of Oz” - all of which have memorably iconic music.

4. Movie-themed Apparel: From classic movie t-shirts to socks adorned by vintage cinema’s coolest characters, there are endless choices when it comes to clothes and accessories that pay homage to classic movies. Check out the official merchandise websites for classic movies to see what options are available.

5. Movie Theater Gift Certificates: Finally, consider purchasing a gift card to a local cinema so your granddaughter can watch the classics up on the big screen. Many local movie theater and cinemas show classic movies and would appreciate your patronage. Not only would your grandchild appreciate the occasion, but it can also be an opportunity for you to have quality time with your grandchild.

No matter which gift you choose, by tapping into your granddaughter's love for classic cinema, you are sure to give her a Christmas present she will cherish.

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