Coraline Blu-ray Movie Gift Set

Coraline was one of the best blu-ray movie releases of 2009. If someone you know has adopted HDTV and blu-ray and doesn't already own this movie, it is a top-rated gift idea.

Coraline is an excellent movie, an animated 3D stop-motion film with a spooky bend. Not quite appropriate for young children but definitely worth thinking about for older children, say tweens and up. (Check Coraline's rating.)

The limited edition blu-ray gift set includes the contents of the regular blu-ray movie in collectible packaging plus a set of postcards and a book called 'Getting Things Right.' The book shares Henry Selick's thoughts about his own inspiration for the movie and about the creation of the movie.

Any family with older children and teens would enjoy this movie as would anyone who loves stop-action movies done in the style of Tim Burton.

The Best Harry Potter Gift Ideas

The best Harry Potter gift ideas, assuming one already own the books and the movies, may just be a few magnificent collectibles including but not limited to the very popoular TriWizard Cup lamp as shown here. Fans of Harry Potter love the fact that the Tri-Wizard lamp is both decorative and useful at the same time.

If the lamp is not quite what you are after, you might consider a very popular wand from the Noble Collection or a Wizarding World of Harry Potter wand from the brand-new Universal Studios theme park.

Of course another idea might be a book related to the Harry Potter series, like The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook or The Charmed Knits Harry Potter knitting book.

Lastly but not leastly is the possibility of a Harry Potter game. Our favorite is definitely Harry Potter Clue but true fans might enjoy the challenge of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Trivia Game.
