Like Annie, I’ve left my holiday shopping to the very last minute, but unlike Annie, I’ve done it because giving good gifts is really hard! To save some of you a similar pain, over the next few days I will post targeted lists for an assortment of tastes to help you give gifts you know that special someone will enjoy. For anyone wondering what to get the movie buffs in their lives, here are a few ideas to toss around.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Chronicles: Art & Design– A companion to the second movie in The Hobbit series coming out in a few weeks, this book contains more than one thousand images of concept art, photographs, development paintings and more by the artists working behind the scenes to bring Middle-earth to life.
Doctor Who: The Vault-The ultimate guide to 50 years of the BBC cult classic, filled with many previously unseen photos and other material from the BBC archive as well as from private collections.
Labor Day by Joyce Maynard- Over a long Labor Day weekend, a mother and son are forever changed when a mysterious man enters their lives. The movie adaptation comes out January 31; just enough time for you and your giftee to read the book before seeing the movie together!
I hope this helps cross one more name off your list!
