Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandma is a fan of indie films, there are a few gift ideas that could really make an impact this Christmas. Here are a few to consider:

1. Subscription to a Streaming Service: Give your grandma the gift of never running out of indie films to watch. There are several streaming services that specialize in independent cinema, including Mubi and Filmstruck. Consider getting her a gift subscription to one of these services so she can enjoy a constant supply of new and classic indie movies.

2. Tickets to a Film Festival: Many cities host film festivals that focus specifically on independent cinema. Look for a festival in your area or a nearby city and purchase tickets for your grandma to attend. Not only will she get to see some great films, but she'll also be able to immerse herself in the indie film community.

3. Unique Film Merchandise: If your grandma has a favorite indie film or filmmaker, consider purchasing some unique merchandise related to that movie or person. This could be a poster, a t-shirt, or even a piece of original artwork inspired by the film. You could even get a custom-made gift from Etsy that’s based on her favorite indie film.

4. Indie Film Books: If your grandma likes to read, there are plenty of great books about independent cinema that she might enjoy. Consider books like “Spike Lee's 'Do The Right Thing'" by Mark A. Reid or "Rebel Without a Crew" by Robert Rodriguez to learn more about the world of independent filmmaking.

5. Personal Film Reviews: If you're feeling creative, consider giving your grandma a personalized gift in the form of a film review. Watch a few indie films together, and then write up your own reviews of each movie. Create a booklet or scrapbook with your reviews and other memorabilia from the films you watched together.

Overall, these gift ideas are perfect for any grandma who loves indie films. Whether she prefers classics or new releases, she'll appreciate the thought and effort that went into selecting a gift that fits her interests perfectly.

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