It's that time of year again! If you have a classic movie fanatic in your life, you know the know who has everything and is impossible to shop for, here are some cool gift ideas. I have not included DVDs or Blu-Rays because we are all familiar with that trepidation that precedes gift buying, when you wonder whether the recipient has the gift already or not. I have listed below some really unique gift ideas that your loved one will probably not already have.
Enjoy and happy holidays!

It's pricey, but I would like that Maltese falcon statue, provided I'm not swept in some mystery a long with it! :-)
ReplyDeleteTerry - I think this one is a more reasonable buy than the one in the film! That one came at a much greater cost. :-)
DeleteOMG, the Maltese Falcon is all I want! :)
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are a good idea: I have a pair of flats in black and white that remember me of tap dance. These shoes are actually known in my house as "Fred Astaire shoes". By the way, I'm painting my nail jungle red as I read this post!
Kisses!
Le - Oh yes, Fred Astaire always had nice shoes. And how swell! I love a nice red nail polish. It's very striking. :-)
DeleteThis is fabulous!! I want Jungle Red Nail Polish. I Loved everything about this post!!
ReplyDeleteNikki - I worked so hard on this post so your comment and Aurora's just made my day! Thank you.
DeleteGREAT STUFF! How creative. Love this! I want everything!
ReplyDeleteAurora
Thank you Aurora! I really appreciate your nice comment.
DeleteI was watching 'The Maltese Falcon' recently and I thought how cool it would be to have my own falcon...
ReplyDeleteI love how the Universe works that way!
DeleteLove the Maltese Falcon but my favorite item on this list is the Hollywood and the Ivy Look coffee table book. I could probably spend hours looking through it. :P
ReplyDeleteGiselle - That book is quite spectacular. I hope to review it soon!
DeleteThank you so much for including me Raquelle!! And I wish that falcon statue wasn't so expensive.. that would be such an amazing gift for my dad. I wonder if it's something I could DIY ;)
ReplyDeleteps. Gene Tierney lives on in my society6 store! :) http://society6.com/kategabrielle/gene_Print
Kate - You're welcome. Thanks for the link! I updated my post to include it so that people can get that fabulous Gene Tierney print. Beside the Norma Shearer painting you did for me, that one is my favorite.
DeleteOut of past 2012 classic movie gift is shown here. Read all about it
