Are you shopping for a TV lover? Wondering what you can pick up for them as a Christmas, New Year, or holiday season gift? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Today we’ll cover our top picks when it comes to gifts for TV lovers. Find something they’ll really get a kick out of this year. Let’s delve.
DVD or Blu-ray Box Sets
You might immediately be thinking, why get them a box set if they have access to streaming on demand? They can just rent a movie or TV show, right? Well, nothing beats owning a hard copy that they can access at any time. Imagine the internet connection is on the fritz, what then? Well, with a box set or a movie hard copy, your TV lover can still enjoy their favourite shows.
However, if you're shopping for a true TV and movie buff, they’ll probably already have hard copies of their favourite TV shows and movies. But fear not, for there are always limited edition sets out there if you look carefully at auction sites. Usually, these sets will come with merchandise or extra commentary that a true buff will appreciate.
Find Them a New Subscription Service
As a TV lover they’ll no doubt already have a streaming service they use, be it Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Apple TV - but there’s a huge range of different streaming services out there (all with unique content of their own). This gives you an excellent opportunity to give them a new subscription as a gift, so they can browse guilt-free about what yet another streaming service is costing them.
Some great, lesser-known streaming services to look into could be:
- Disney+
- HBO Max
- AMC+
- YouTube Premium (if they also enjoy online content or watch a lot of YouTubers)
- Hulu
- Crunchyroll (for Anime fans)
- Shudder (for fans of Horror)
- Peacock
- Paramount+
And that’s just scratching the surface of the variety of streaming services out there. Just be sure to do your due diligence when looking into subscriptions to make sure you’re getting bang for your buck!
Buy Them A Streaming Device
As an extension of the last idea, if your TV Lover is big into streaming content on their smart TV, then you might want to look into dedicated streaming devices for them to use. Be sure to do your homework on what they have, and their TV setup, to make sure you buy something that they can use.
Some common streaming devices worth consideration are Google Chromecast, a Fire TV Stick, or a Roku.
TV Show or Movie Merchandise
If you happen to know what their comfort show is, or their favourite show or movie, then looking into related merchandise is a great option.
This option is ideal for those TV lovers or movie buffs who already have all the streaming services they want and all the hard copies their shelves can carry.
For instance, if they enjoy Breaking Bad, why not get them a ‘Let’s Cook’ kitchen set? Or maybe a Los Pollos Hermanos mug? If you know what phone they have you can easily find a great TV or movie-themed phone case. There’s always the option to go with themed clothing like T-shirts, jumpers, hoodies, and hats too!
If you want to get more creative, then why not source some artwork like a high-quality print? You can take this idea a step further and commission an art piece, especially for them. Etsy is full of talented artists that can make custom drawings and paintings.
Get Them a Movie Night Bundle
This is more for the movie buffs, but if you know they plan regular movie nights then why not go the extra step and prepare a movie night bundle for them?
While this idea requires asking a lot of subtle questions, once you have all the info you need you can create a hamper with everything they need for a night in watching their favourite movie (or franchise of movies like Lord of the Rings, Marvel, DC etc). Some things you might want to include:
- Their favourite snacks, be it popcorn, crisps, nuts, cakes, whatever they like.
- Their favourite drinks and beverages; such as Coca-Cola, Lemonade, or if they enjoy alcohol, beers and wines.
- A voucher or coupon for their favourite local takeaway. Or, if the takeaway doesn’t do credit, then a voucher for a service like Deliveroo, UberEats, or JustEat. This makes sure they can get their favourite food for movie night.
- A blanket or two to get cosy with (even better if you can get movie or TV show-themed merchandise blankets).
You’ll know them best so use your best judgement to put together the ultimate movie night bundle for them.
Convention Tickets / Movie Tickets
This one is for the TV lovers and movie buffs who are crazy (in a good way) for their favourite franchise. All across the country, every year, there will no doubt be conventions related to their favourite franchise (MCM Comic Con is a big one). If they are the kind of person that would enjoy a convention, why not get them some tickets?
Or if you’re unsure if they will like conventions, you can always research the local cinema that they enjoy and buy some pre-paid tickets (or load a loyalty card) - allowing them to go to the movies as and when they want. Most movie theatres and cinemas also offer subscription services, so why not consider signing them up for one?
This idea is a bit more niche but for the right TV lover or movie buff, would be a dream come true!
