Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is into independent movies, there are plenty of great gift options to choose from to enhance his movie-viewing experience. Here are some ideas that will score you some serious points with your son:

1. Film Festival or Movie Tickets: Many independent films premiere at film festivals, and attending a festival or movie screening is a great experience for any film enthusiast. You could purchase tickets to a local film festival or even a special screening of an indie movie in your area.

2. Criterion Collection: Introduce your son to classic independent films with a Criterion Collection subscription. This subscription service offers classic and contemporary independent movies, along with special features that your son will love.

3. Blu-ray or DVD Box Sets: If your son has a favorite director or independent movie series, consider purchasing a box set of their work on Blu-ray or DVD. This is a great way for him to watch his favorite movies whenever he wants, and it also provides him with some great extras, such as making-of documentaries and commentaries.

4. Movie Posters: Does your son have a favorite independent movie? Consider getting him a poster of the film's cover as a keepsake to hang in his room. You can also get him a frame to put the poster in and make it extra special.

5. Filmmaking Books: For the aspiring filmmaker, consider getting your son a book about how to make an independent movie. There are plenty of great options that can help him learn about the craft and inspire him to create his own films.

Overall, when it comes to picking a Christmas gift for your son who loves independent movies, think about what will enhance his movie-watching experience. Look for unique gifts that are catered to his interests, and you are sure to find something he will love.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
