10 Gift Ideas for Your Action Movie Lover
Well, it’s that time of the year again. The time when my in-laws demand that I make an Amazon wishlist despite the fact that Amazon doesn’t sell hard liquor. If you’re like me, you struggle with coming up with items that you really don’t need but will still enjoy. If I want it bad enough, I WILL BUY IT MYSELF. Of course I make the list anyways, and so I’ve come up with a list of stuff that you might also enjoy. Feel free to add to the list in the comments.
NECA Predator and Aliens – Anything will do
Although I’m not a big fan of The NECA brand when it comes to playability (I have small children who destroy these things), you can’t find this type of selection with any other toy maker. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Dutch figure and at least a Predator and Alien. Just allow plenty of time (and patience) for Arnold-isms afterwards.
Lone Wolf and Cub Criterion Collection Blu-ray set
It may be the greatest collection of films in the history of cinema and it’s not even close. Travel along with a loving father and his dear son as they slice and dice their way across a country full of assassins, ninjas, naked assassins, and naked lady ninjas. Special attention to this one if your gift recipient has never seen them. Just buy it already!
Die Hard Collection
Here we go…. Turn to your left and to your right and if there is anyone who says that Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie then just go ahead and punch them in the face. I’m tired of having he conversation about it but I’ll never get tired of watching the first few movies in the series. Special bonus, you can use the disc for A Good Day to Die Hard as a drink coaster!
Classic Action movie posters
If you are man enough to have a “man cave” hidden away in your basement where your wife doesn’t have to look at you, then you are man enough to have some posters of the greatest films ever made. Don’t be a cheap ass and just get the poster, though. Throw in a frame and spice this gift up a little bit.
Coffee mugs for those coffee weirdos
I drink at least a cup of coffee every single day but I’m not some nut who needs to grind his own beans or spend $13 on a cup. If they are gonna be some coffee snob they might as well have a cool mug to drink it out of. I’m sure there are mugs in all shapes and sizes out there. I would recommend trying to find one in the shape of Charles Bronson’s mustache.
Highlander sword letter opener
Since it is frowned upon to carry around a sword in public these days you may as well get them a sweet ass letter opener so they can feel both cool and distinguished. Did you think that letters were a thing of the past? Well, that’s just dumb! Buy this and ensure that your letter opening will never succumb to that dreaded frontal rippage.
Booze
If Bulleit Bourbon is good enough for Sylvester Stallone then I guarantee that it is good enough for you. He drinks it in most of his movies these days and while I’ve never had it, I can only assume it is the reason he has aged so well. That and HGH.
Magnum P.I. shirt
Who doesn’t want to parade around town in this beautiful bastard? I own multiple shirts like this and I can tell you that my confidence level blasts through the roof when I walk into a room wearing one. Magnificent mustache is optional but highly encouraged.
Cameos from your favorite stars
Want to hear from your favorite actor? How about your fifth favorite actor? That one is more likely. With Cameo, you can pay them money and they can memorize your name just long enough to say hello uncomfortably into their iPhone.
Money
Cash is king, baby! It’s the gift that always puts a smile on someone’s face and will ensure that you continue to get that terrible Christmas card with their ugly family on it for years to come.
