Five Star Gift Ideas

Watching independent movies is a unique and varied interest, and you have plenty of gift ideas to choose from. Here are some recommendations that may suit your grandson’s taste:

1. Subscription to Criterion Channel or Mubi: With a subscription to either of these, your grandson will have access to a vast collection of classic, foreign, and independent films. Both platforms regularly add new titles, so he will always have something new to watch.

2. Movie tickets to an independent cinema: If your grandson isn’t already a regular at his local independent cinema, this could be an excellent opportunity to introduce him to the experience. Find out what’s playing near his home, and consider purchasing a voucher, a membership, or a bundle of tickets so he can see several films.

3. Film festival tickets: Many cities hold film festivals throughout the year, and several of them focus exclusively on independent cinema. You can check which festivals are coming up near your grandson’s location and buy him a pass or tickets to a particular screening.

4. Limited edition Blu-rays or DVDs of independent films: Many independent movies receive special releases with elaborate packaging and bonus features. These editions make for excellent collectors’ items, and you could find out if there are any releases of your grandson’s favorite titles that he doesn’t already own.

5. Books on independent cinema: From film history to critical analysis to interviews with filmmakers, there are many books that cover the world of independent movies. Consider checking out the offerings at your local bookstore or online retailers such as Amazon, and find a title that matches your grandson’s interests.

6. Movie posters: If your grandson has a favorite independent film, he might appreciate a poster of it to hang in his home or room. Several online stores specialize in selling movie posters, often in various sizes and designs.

7. Accessories for movie watching: From comfortable chairs to popcorn makers to projector screens, there are many items that can make the experience of watching movies at home more enjoyable. Find out if your grandson needs any upgrade to his movie-watching setup and buy him a thoughtful accessory.

These are just a few suggestions to get you started on your search for the perfect gift. Remember, the most meaningful gifts come from knowing the recipient’s interests and personality. With your grandson’s love for independent movies, you have an excellent starting point!

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