If you’re like us you probably haven’t even started thinking about holiday gifts until now. Well, if you’re looking for a gift for a family member or friend who loves to use our tips to meet celebrities on movie sets, at celebrity events, or movie premieres, we’ve got a few practical ideas that will definitely help their “stalking” go much more smoothly!
Here are our Top Five Gift Ideas for 2011:
Telescopic Lenses for iPhone
We don’t know how many times we’ve received celeb photos with the note, “Sorry these pics aren’t great, only had my iPhone”, but now we have a solution for that problem. New telescopic lenses provide more zoom and take clearer photos with an iPhone, and are are small enough to throw in a purse or pocket. Some lenses provide up to 8x zoom, perfect for taking long distance set photos! The lenses are available at Buy.com for $19.88.
Looxcie Video Camera
This is the perfect gift for the wannabe paparazzo in your family. The Looxcie is a wearable video cam that records everything you see but looks like any other bluetooth device you’d clip over your ear. And, whether catching a celeb on set or just passing one on the street, with the touch of a button the last 30 minutes of video will be saved! The Looxcie ranges from $119- $179 and can be purchased at looxcie.com/store.
Archie Grand Notebooks
Archie Grand has a unique, colorful line of notebooks that all have different covers, including the ‘Celebrities I Met And Liked’ cover, which puts a modern spin on the traditional autograph book. All of their notebooks have a hardcover and contains 120 blank pages of high quality paper that soaks up those sharpied signatures perfectly. Archie Grand books can be purchased at JasperandGrand.com for $11.
Heated Hats and Mittens
Texting gloves and arm warmers are cute, but anyone who has ever waited outside a celebrity’s trailer on the streets of New York in the middle of January knows they aren’t going to do much good. That’s why we’re all about these heated hats and mittens by HeatMax. They all come with air-activated warmers to keep your friends toasty warm while hoping for that next great celebrity encounter. Both can be purchased at Amazon here and here, starting at $10.49.
Pocket Chair
OK, so this sounds crazy, right? But when we were waiting in line for hours at San Diego Comic-Con last summer we saw more than a few fans taking a seat in pocket chairs, and we were jealous! Anyone who has ever tried to meet a celebrity – whether at an event, on Broadway, or on a movie set – knows it’s a waiting game, so why not provide a chair for your friends while they wait? The Pocket Chair is available at PocketChair.com for 14.99.
