Five Star Gift Ideas

A great Mother's Day gift for your movie-loving grandma would be a movie subscription service. Depending on where she lives, there may be local independent movie theaters or film festivals that offer subscriptions or memberships. Alternatively, there are online movie subscription services that focus on independent films.

One of the most popular online services for independent films is MUBI. MUBI is a streaming service that curates a selection of art-house, classic, and international films. Each day, MUBI adds a new film and keeps it available for 30 days. You can gift your grandma a one-year subscription to MUBI, which will give her access to the service's vast library of independent films. Another great feature of MUBI is that it allows its users to watch its films offline.

Another option is FilmStruck, a subscription service that offers classic and independent films. FilmStruck also includes bonus features such as interviews, commentaries, and documentaries that celebrate the art of cinema. A subscription to FilmStruck would be an excellent gift for your grandma if she enjoys classic cinema as well as independent films.

If your grandma prefers physical media, you could purchase DVDs of her favorite independent movies. Many independent films have limited theatrical releases and are only available on DVD or Blu-Ray. You could browse online or visit film and music stores to find movies that your grandma enjoys. You could also search for DVDs of classic independent films that she may not have seen before.

Finally, you could gift your grandma tickets to a local independent movie theater or a film festival. Many film festivals offer passes or packages that allow moviegoers to see multiple films over a period of days. Attending a film festival would be a unique and memorable experience for your grandma, and would allow her to discover new independent films that she may not have been aware of before.

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