The gift giving season is upon us once again, and it can be a fraught one for the friends and loved ones of cinephiles. Movie nerds can be a tricky lot to shop for, and I speak from personal experience. They — and by they, I mean we — tend to buy the movies and gadgets and toys they (we) want impulsively. And that makes it tough to find them unique presents for Christmas, Hanukkah, and all rest.

To that end, I’ve put together this list of 10 gift ideas (plus one bonus bit of shameless self-promotion) for the movie lover in your life. Each one is relatively new to stores; a few haven’t even been released yet at the time of this writing, but they will be available before the holidays begin. They run the gamut from films to games to apparel to books to unique replicas of treasured movie props. Any cinephile would love to have them. Or at least I would. And hey, my birthday is December 23. (Just FYI.)
